“… Can you do the 180 revert without ollieing? That is "pivoting around your back wheels" in this video [VIDEO] ? I think learning that first is the key. Only then add the pop to it. …”

Right, I know it’s easier to do it by putting weight on the nose. But currently I don’t know how to put a lot of weight on the nose due to the way I sit, I have seen [this video] talk about how to pivot on the back wheel, I’m mostly having trouble understanding that. Thanks for your advice

Thanks for posting! It's definitely coming and 100% certainly only a matter of time. You put too much emphasis on popping. Can you do the 180 revert without ollieing? That is "pivoting around your back wheels" in this video [this video] ? I think learning that first is the key. Only then add the pop to it. Keep going man 💪👊🏼
