Backside 180, the nemesis

Backside 180, the nemesis

I could never do those when I was younger. Something just doesn't click with me when trying to ollie and turn backside at the same time.

Weirdly, that's my favorite thing on a snowboard: going fast and then doing a long, slowly turned backside 180. Maybe that's part of the problem, I'm so used to doing them on a snowboard and it just doesn't translate to a skateboard all that well.

I feel like I need to jump up and turn with both feet catching the board. As always, my front shoulder looks off too. A combination of everything I guess.

And, it seems easier when I go a little bit faster. There's more momentum to work with.

Lots of backside 120ies, followed by one backside 180
