Something that really helped me with those is putting all of your pressure on your front foot, not the back one. The thing is - when you slide your front foot off, all pressure from the front foot is going to go to the back foot, so you don't really need to focus on your pop, just the scooping motion. Sure, with this method you'd have to have your front toes quite close to the edge of the board for it to be easier to slip
the only thing i have trouble with is the popping part. is it supposed to be more of a pressured pop like a pressure flip or an ankle pop like an ollie etc? it’s the release of tension between the front and back foot when stepping off to start the 180 that’s always confused me
Don't worry it's tricky to figure out the pop on these at first. Definitely don't position your foot like a pressure flip. Watch my back foot on the ones I do in this video for reference. Make sure it's more in the center of the tail or pushed just slightly toward the edge to help with the scoop. Most importantly, it's best to have as MUCH weight pressed down on your back toes as you can before you pop. When you step off your board with your front is right when the pressure is released and your back foot needs to pop, so you have to be quick in getting your front foot on the ground just as your back foot is snapping down on the tail. I hope that helps!
I have no comply 180s dialed on flat, no comply front shuvs, and switch nocomply 180s, but one thing I still don’t really get is how to get no complys dialed down stairs, I’ve tried them down 2 stairs and I’ve landed some but they are always sketchy asf and not the same ones as I do on flat, is it just a practice thing? And also I can’t understand them down long ass stairs where you gotta jump crazy far, are those any different to no complys on flat, like is there a technique to guide them further for long stairs or is it just a leap of faith?
