Ollie FS180

The ollie FS180 combines a flat-water ollie with a frontside 180 rotation: pop off the tail, spin 180, and land switch. It's the first time you're spinning purely off your own pop — no kicker, no obstacle.

The skill it tests is initiating the rotation as you leave the water, not after you're already in the air. Pop first, spin second — but barely. If you wind up on the water you lose the pop; if you wait until you're airborne you under-rotate. Confident switch riding makes or breaks the landing.

Key tips

• Get a clean flat-water ollie down first. This adds rotation on top
• Initiate the rotation as you pop, not after you're in the air
• Spot the landing by looking over your shoulder through the spin
• Land with knees bent and ride away switch
• Confident switch riding is what saves the landing — drill it first
• Practice in both regular and switch stances (the switch version is a BS180)
