This weeks wisdom happens to do with skateboarding this week. I see allot of people getting very confused when it comes to nollie 180s. I’m going to try to clear things up for you. And don’t worry, many people have a hard time with this concept. Ok, so if you are regular footed, or left foot forward, and you want to do a nollie backside 180 then you are going to turn the same way you would as if you were doing a regular backside 180. Nothing changes. Same with frontside, you go the same way you would normally turn. I don’t know where the whole myth of things changing around when you go nollie but it is just not true. I hope this helped. No go forth and enjoy this beautiful weather.

P.S. I included a very detailed drawing to help with this explanation in case you still dont get it. It is very clear and should help out.
