Fakie Front 180 and Fakie 360

Welcome back. This week I will be talking about the opposite of the last weeks blog. The fakie front 180 is the opposite of the half cab, where you turn frontside, instead of backside. The fakie 360 is the full cab but the other way around. If you like turning frontside then you will probably prefer these tricks compared to last weeks tricks.

The fakie front 180 is a harder trick then the half cab in my opinion, this is because when you are rolling fakie when you turn backside it feels like frontside. When you turn frontside it feels like backside because you are rolling backwards. So in my opinion turning backside is harder, therefore the fakie front 180 is harder than the half cab. The fakie front 180 is just like a regular front 180, but it feels backwards because it is. I like fakie front 180’s because unlike a half cab it actually feels like a trick. I feel more like I am getting air with the fakie front 180.

The fakie 360 is currently, my favorite trick! It is so fun to do and I feel like I don’t need to pivot as much. It feels so great to do off of things and on flat. The fakie 360, also known as the fakie frontside 360, is a difficult trick. It takes more then a day to learn and you can pivot, but unlike the full cab, you can’t rely on the pivot. The feeling of a front 360 can be done with a pivot, but it makes the trick look ugly. Skateboarding is not supposed to look ugly. If you are learning this trick I would recommend not starting with a pivot because it makes the trick look ugly and it is a hard habit to break. Once you learn this trick it should feel like a 360 and not like a 180 with a pivot. This trick is so fun to do off of things and out of grinds etc. Once you land a 360 off of something it is one of the best feelings a person can have. I liked it so much. That is why the fakie 360 Is my favorite trick.
