The frontside 180 ollie is a FULL BODY maneuver, i.e. you can't just do an ollie and as an afterthought, try to twist your feet around behind you. ​ As you bend down to prepare for the maneuver, twist your shoulders up backside, and then as you start to jump, unwind them in a frontside rotation forcefully, and then once you get into the air, your legs, feet, and board will follow. Here's a good video that explains what I mean: [VIDEO]
