So now that you've mastered how to ollie, ollie up onto something, and how to fakie
ollie, the next step may be to take it to the front side 180 or the back side 180 ollie.
Now, 180 ollies are great, because what you're doing is you're ollieing in the air, traveling
front side 180, and landing fakie and rolling. So the front side 180 is usually the first
step, after learning all of those other combinations. So, the front side 180 ollie involves, hitting
the tail to do an ollie, and traveling front side 180. Now, front side, meaning the way
that you can see, that's one way to remember. So, if you're regular footed like I am, you're
headed towards the left. One of the major differences in a 180 ollie, as opposed to
a rolling forward or fakie ollie, is that you're traveling a distance across. Now, this
is going to require you to use a lot of your upper body. What you're doing is you're building
up momentum using your arms, and following through with the motion with your lower body.
And you're coordinating the whole thing together. So, you're going to want to make sure that
you have your ollies as good as possible, and that you have your fakie ollies very good,
because after you ollie 180, you're going to land fakie, and roll backwards. So, the
better you have those, the better you can do it. And that is how you front side 180
ollie.
