65episode  Front 180 (5)         SK8-60(Japanese)

Front 180 is a skateboarding trick in which you turn your skateboard and body  in mid-air 180 degrees.

When I snap the tail with the image of spinning the nose in like a flat circle with my front feet in Front 180 , it feels different from the way I've been practicing up until now, where I turn 180 degrees in one go (which I haven't been able to do yet), and although I can't make a full 180 degree turn, it feels good. To me, turning 180 degrees in one go feels like I'm rotating with momentum, so this method feels more like turning with the skill of a skateboarding trick. So I want to be able to do it this way perfectly. For the time being I plan to practice using both.

This method is different from the more dynamic Front 180, where you turn 90 degrees and then use your legs and your west to turn the remaining 90 degrees. Ultimately, I want to do a 90-90 degree Front 180 or Front 180 with a twist. This is just the fantasy of an elderly skateboarder who doesn't know what tomorrow holds.

I mentioned the newly added Front 180 turning technique and the advanced turning technique mentioned above in Front 180 (4), but improving my technical skills is an area where I am not good at. I enjoy practicing skateboard tricks, but I'm struggling to improve my technique.
