i can do a 180 boneless, but not a normal?

[Gs-boards]

i can only do a 180 boneless, if i do a normal boneless i can't get my front foot back on my board and if i grab and pop my board wants to spin the 180. can someone help me?

I also have a tougher time with normal bonelesses than I do with 180s. I think the 180 is more natural because you're swinging the nose back around toward you as you travel forward, whereas in a normal boneless you need to jump further forward for your front foot to "catch up" with the nose.

What helps me is to make sure to really suck that back foot up high so the board levels out more (as opposed to having the nose high up in the air while the tail is still down by the ground). That might make it easier to swing your front foot back up onto the deck.

As far as keeping it straight and not spinning 180, concentrate on keeping your shoulders in line with your direction of motion, rather than openning up your chest. In other words, you should be jumping sideways, not forward.

man, same here. 180 bonelesses all day long. normal - not so much.

he bonesless was pretty much a hip/lip trick and as such is easier to do 180, especially backside. on tip for straight bonelesses frontside it to pull out with your grab hand putting a tweak on the trick which makes it easier

when you pop the boneless, rotate the board about 90 degrees like you would when your doing a boneless1(80) but don't pivot your ankle in the same motion, then literally jump forward, and as you start to jump, rotate the tail back that same 90 degrees that you had originally rotated it, stomp your bolts, ride away clean. I am a firm believer that internet advice does not improve personal skateboarding skills, it's all repetition and mental manifestation of having fun.. but I hope this helped ya.

Darn... why didn't I think of this before.

I've been having some problems why my bonelesses since the tail on my pintail is so long and I've been having problems jumping right forward.

The 180 motion seems to have fixed it. I must thank you for this.
