180s off of tall stuff...

[bodkinator]

Whenever I do 180's (fs) off of taller stuff, like above 1 ft, my board stops. Kinda sucks, so if you have any tips, I would appreciate it.

Oh, and speed isn't a factor, cuz I'm pushing fast and I'm using all teh space I have.

This simply means that you aren't completing the FULL 180 DEGREE motion. you might have to land on the nose and pivot a bit.

I wasn't sure if I was turning the full way. Nxt time i'm at railcity, I'll try to spin more.
And, if I try to pivot, I'll fall on my face and die ina bloody mess...so I'm not gonna even try

[snuffy shiteside]

do you mean it stops when you land? or you can't get it all the way around?

either way, I find it easier to keep momentum if i land with a little more weight towards the back, like a 180 to manual, sort of.

[bodkinator]

I'm just stopping. Like, I can still stay on the board, then push away, but I don't roll away from the trick.

[snuffy shiteside]

don't take this the wrong way but go really really fast and try it, otherwise, just watch how you land, you want to be over the board not pushing it away.

i dunno sounds like you are going fast enough, try not to lean to far back (well its foward, but because your fakie...and like yeah) try centering your eight. and dont pivot. you'll snap your nose/tail...what ever it is.

[snuffy shiteside]

maybe your landing too far foward?

If it's from a higher object, you don't need to spin as much because you'll have more time to spin. If you overrotate, you'll likely stop when you land because your wheels won't be going in the direction that your momemtum is going

try to have your feet over the truck bolts when you land
