JOSHUA BLAKENSHIP: Hi, my name is Joshua Blakenship of Expert Village and I'm going to be teaching you how to do a frontside 180. And so, you're pretty comfortable doing your frontside 180 down curbs and you're ready to step them up now so try to find something a little bit bigger such a loading dock or a drop like this one. So you want to go ahead and Ollie it first, get the timing down and once you do that, try the frontside 180. You got to be sure that you are popping pretty good and land on the bolts so you don't break your board and you got to be centered in the air so you can land really clean. If you're not centered, you're going to lean too far to one side of the other and eat it pretty hard so I'll show you how to Ollie it and frontside 180 it. So once you got the Ollie down, try the frontside 180. That's how your frontside 180 off a drop. Just remember those four steps: pop the board, slide your foot, rotate your shoulders around, land on the bolts and you should be able to do it fine.
