I was stuck on FS180 for 3 months because I was not comfortable enough with my frontside revert. ​ repeat again and again frontside revert, after 1-3 hours you should totaly master that ( on the video you are about to fall ) ​ Then try to ollie + frontside revert same 1- 3 hours ​ then watch this video and look at foot positionning [VIDEO]

Hey man, legendary skateboarder Jonny Giger recently uploaded a GREAT tutorial video on these. [VIDEO] Hope it helps if even a little.

I actually started trying these a few days ago! Today was the day I actually could rotate them and keep both feet on and I thought they actually resembled the actual trick. XD I'm using Jonny Giger's excellent video [VIDEO] as a guide. I have ollies down (although always trying to perfect them!) and I've been told by someone other stuff that iterates on them is thankfully much easier and more natural than the gruelin
