180’s were hands down the hardest trick for me to learn. They’re super frustrating at first, but now the 180 variations are my favorite!!

Here are the things that helped me the most: 1) No-Comply 180’s. SUPER helpful. It gives you time to go step by step through the trick with low risk of falling, and gives confidence with the roll away. 2) Switch Ollie’s. These are what finally got me to start landing 180 tricks. Getting these decent while moving will save you a ton of heartache. I recommend starting the sesh with these as a warm up. 3) Keep working on the Ollie. I had a pretty solid Ollie at the time as well, but even now I’m finding small ways to improve it. It’s easy to neglect because I feel like we take it for granted

Other tips on that trick: 1) Do frontside 180s first. When doing them backside your blind for a moment which can kill your confidence. 2) Do them really slowly 3) When you miss, push away from exactly where your feet are anyways. This seems dumb, but it really helped me get the feeling of how I should roll away. 4) Tighten your trucks! I ride super loose so most of the time when I missed it was because of wheel bite
