How to Do a 180 No Comply on a Skateboard

Skateboarding has evolved over the years, yet some of the original tricks are still performed by 21st century skateboarders. The 180 no comply is an "old-school" skateboarding trick, made popular in the 1980s. An extension of the regular no comply, when performing a 180 no comply the rider and board become airborne and revolve a full 180 degrees. It has also been dubbed a step-hop, or no-handed boneless. Learn how to perform this stylish, retro move and add it to your repertoire of freestyle tricks.

      Adjust your riding position. From the basic riding position, move your front foot slightly further toward the nose of the board, with the heel slightly over the edge of the board. Prepare the tail foot in the ollie position --- placing your toe on the raised tail of the board with the heel slightly over the tail of the board.

      Perform the no comply. Slip your front foot off the board while simultaneously pushing down on the tail of the board, a technique known as "popping." Allow your front foot to touch the floor, then jump up immediately to be above the board. While in flight, place both feet back on the board in the regular riding position, push down to land and roll away.

      Perform the 180 no comply. As with the regular no comply, slip your front foot off the board, and as you "pop" the tail, kick the back of the board forward with your rear foot for frontside, or pull it toward you by flicking your rear foot backwards for backside. Push off the ground with your front foot, rotate your body 180 degrees in the same direction as the board and land back on the board while airborne once it has made a full 180-degree revolution. Extend your legs to land and roll away.
