Default Re: Coleman 180 help

Start slow with you're weight situated over your board. Just a quick switch. You'll find as you go faster, you can extend it further, time wise and weight wise. More speed means you can expend more of the 180 over a longer slide and that'll make it feel more like a coleman, but pulling it past the 90 which means it will feel more natural to push further out in front of you, instead of keeping you're body over top of you're board.

Essentially, going slow, make it almost like a revert with you hand on the ground. Going faster, make it like a coleman, but quickly tweaking it at the end to the 180.
