180s down stairs

[Pete Pachota]

Need some help to make them more comfortable. When I do them, my wrists hurt me because of the way I land. The obvious tip would be to lean backwards, but then I would hit my brake and fall. Any way to solve this? Maybe I should change my stance for 180s or something?

Also what is the biggest set you've 180ed? Mine is only a 5, even 180 barspinned it once, I wanna try like a 7 but it would kill my wrists...

stand ski and put all your weight on your feet

and idk, ive 180d a five but we dont really have many stairs around here just big gaps.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.

I've done 6 which felt like 5 nearby my home, someday i wanna do more if i feel like riding street.

 

[Cody Henderson]

i stand without my feet on the break, and ive 180 a 6, its in the movie i jsut put up i think but yeah i jut keep my feet sideways on the deck

 

[skooterkid]

i 180'ed a 6 set. try to land flat and stand as you regularly do and try to get your foot off the brake

 

[Steezeman]

Don't put your foot over the brake, that only leads to bad things. I've 180'd a 4, fakie jumped a 5 and half cabbed a 6 which totally doesn't make any sense. And I 180'd this 7ft long speed hump dealy. And about your hands hurting, I dunno if there's much you can really do besides 180'ing stairsets more and getting buff hands/learning yourself. I 180 all the time and I still hurt my hands on stairsets sometimes.

try riding foam grips maybe? more padding.

Try to even out your weight and take more of the impact in your legs instead of your wrists. Biggest thing ive 180'd is a 3 block at my local (size of a 7 stair) but I only rolled a little bit then fell off.

 

[young08]

travel at a good speed, if you are going slow then you feel the real weight of the drop

 

[kyle_ogle2]

180d a 5. tried to 180 some cool street, but me + street + 180s dont mix for some reason : /, so i hardly ever 180 sets.

[Alex.Peasley]

try to lean your weight kind of where folding mech is like your front foot more then your back and ya dont press the break.

 

[jazmatazz]

Go fast dude.
pretty much eliminates the shock.

 

[Timur]

stand ski

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

I agree. I ski when I briflip or fingerwhip something, but not 180/360/540. It looks less stylish and it is more dangerous imho/

 

[AJ]

3 set... and i change every so often between ski and regular haha

 

[coombsey]

go fats bend ur knees on impact and kinda have a loose grip and dont push ur weight down on ur hands push ur weight into ur feet lol i probly didnt help hope i did

 

[Tyler Boner]

[skylerforreal]

[Steezeman]
