Backside 180 Ollie The Backside 180 ollie is not much different than the frontside 180 ollie, in that, you're still turning a 180, but you are turning forwards instead of backwards. To learn the backside 180 ollie, it is recomended that you learn the ollie and the frontside 180 ollie first. Once learned you may attempt the trick. When doing the backside 180 ollie, you would need to rely on your windup a lot more than that of the frontside 180 ollie. You must windup as much as possible, and then release that windup and spin 180 with the board. If you have a lot of trouble with spinning all the way around, try doing half-cabs instead. They are easier for some people.
