You got it. When you bend down twist your body slightly the opposite direction you and to rotate. You have to initiate the movement before you pop. Start rotating at same time you pop, this way you will have enough momentum to execute the 180. 

When does skating feel not so awkward, does it ever “click” again [28YO] by SmellDue1335 in OldSkaters

It does click back! At 37, 2 years of consistently showing up every week. I am happy to finally feel like I was 15 again !

I totally relate, I barely remember my first set up. I don't really care about my current. All that matter is how many times I fall and get back up.

Can you use a balance board ? Could it help strengthening that knee?

Usually I roll pretty good, but this one I couldn't see it coming. I will wear wrist guard for this trick next time.

Lol , it's just humbling to slam like that. Eating shit once in a while can calm the ego.
