]]> 53320 2 43 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113622/43.jpg Push forward The easiest way to perform this trick is by using a rolling start. Begin by pushing the board forward at a comfortable speed – but the faster you go, the higher the board will lift off of the ground.

]]> 53321 3 54 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113622/54.jpg Position front foot As you roll, place your front foot about halfway up the board, at a slight forward angle. Your toes should be near the outside edge of the skateboard.

]]> 53322 4 63 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113622/63.jpg Position back foot Put the ball of your back foot on the center of the tail.

]]> 53323 5 67 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113622/67.jpg Lift back heel With both of your feet on the skateboard, lift the heel of your back foot so your weight is on the ball of your foot and your toes.

]]> 53324 6 75 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113622/75.jpg Squat In preparation to spring upward, squat down in a crouched position.

]]> 53325 7 80 Tip The lower you bend down, the higher your board will fly into the air.

]]> 53326 8 85 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113622/85.jpg Twist your torso As you bend your knees, twist the top half of your body by turning your torso around toward the tail of the board in the opposite direction you are heading.

]]> 53327 9 91 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113622/91.jpg Straighten legs and unwind Straighten out your legs to start your jump, and quickly unwind your body by spinning your torso back toward the front of your board. Try not to lower your head.

]]> 53328 10 101 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113622/101.jpg Stomp back foot Stomp your back foot down so you smack the tail of your board to the ground, lifting the front of the board into the air.

]]> 53329 11 108 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113622/108.jpg Jump Jump off of your back foot into the air, and slide your front foot up toward the nose of the board.

]]> 53330 12 114 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113622/114.jpg Tuck While jumping up, tuck your knees into your chest, which will pull the back of the skateboard with you into the air. Be sure to pick up your back foot as well, because that levels out the board horizontally.

]]> 53331 13 126 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113622/126.jpg Complete turn At this point you should be halfway around. To complete the 180-degree turn in the air, pull the board with your back foot, using your toes to swing it the rest of the way around.

]]> 53332 14 136 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113622/136.jpg Land When you’ve turned all the way around and the board is heading back down to the ground, extend your legs and land. Bend your knees as you touch down, making sure both feet are squarely on the board.

]]> 53333 15 147 Tip Be sure to check your board regularly for any faults, cracked or broken wheels, or chipped parts. Tricks like these put a lot of wear on a skateboard.

]]> 53334 16 156 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/113622/156.jpg Practice looking over your shoulder You will now be rolling backward, so practice looking over your shoulder before trying this trick!

]]> 53335 17 164 Fact The world’s longest skateboard measures 30 feet 1 inch long, 9.8 inches wide, and two inches thick, and was completed in Newton, Massachusetts, in 2005.
