Shown for a regular-footed rider. Teal ring + arrow = the rider's facing direction; teal band = the tail; a dot is where a hand holds the board - bright yellow for the front hand, amber for the back one, which is the whole difference between a mute and an indy. Board and rider rotate independently - each follows its own component. Drag to orbit.

How it works

An ollie with a full 360-degree frontside rotation of board and body around the vertical axis while rolling forward. The chest opens to the direction of travel and keeps turning through a blind rear 180 before the landing rotates back into view. All angular momentum must be stored in a backside shoulder wind-up and released at the instant of pop; many skaters finish the last few degrees with a rear-wheel pivot on landing.

Step by step

  1. Crouch deep with shoulders wound hard backside and the back foot toward the toe edge of the tail.
  2. Pop a tall ollie while releasing the wind-up frontside with arms and chest.
  3. Draw the knees up and keep the front foot pressed on the nose so the board spins with you.
  4. Keep the head rotating ahead of the body through the blind phase.
  5. Spot the landing, extend, and set down over the bolts rolling forward.
  6. Pivot out any remaining degrees on the back truck.

Body mechanics

Front footAfter leveling, pins the nose so board yaw stays locked to body yaw for the full rotation.
Back footPops from the toe-side tail pocket and sweeps the tail behind the heels, then rides the rotation.
ShouldersDeep backside pre-wind; the frontside release is the sole engine - no mid-air correction is possible.
ArmsWhip open at release then pull tight to the chest to increase spin rate.
GazeSnaps around frontside, leading the body by a quarter turn to find the landing early.
