Frontside 180
The first step into spinning with your board.
The Frontside 180 is a key rotational trick where you and your board jump and spin 180 degrees. It's a foundational move for more complex spins and flips.

Wind Up
Before you pop, wind up your shoulders in the opposite direction of the spin.
Pop and Turn
Pop the board and start turning your shoulders and hips in the frontside direction. Your body leads and the board follows.
Mid-air
Keep the board under your feet as you rotate. Your front foot will guide the board through the spin.
Land
Land on all four wheels, preferably over the bolts, and bend your knees. You will be rolling switch (in your non-dominant stance).
Golden Tip!
Your head and shoulders lead the rotation. Where you look is where you will go.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
Not completing the 180-degree rotation: You need to turn your shoulders more.
Landing on the nose: Try to keep your weight more centered.
Board flies away: You are likely pushing the board away instead of jumping with it.
