Here's something I learned from experience: If u can't do a pivot (or 180 kickturn) while moving, DONT learn reverts. Master ur pivots. Once ur pivots feel second nature to you, trying revert will be SOO much easier. U can think of revert as a pivot, where instead of pressing down on the nose, u simply shift some of ur weight into the nose. That will allow u to do a pivot with ur wheels dragging, which is pretty much what a revert is.

I’m 36 and over weight, Iv been skating nearly a year and could do nothing but pushing for months. Since I discovered this channel my progression has improved so much. Thank you for this!!!

I finally found out what it's called.
I need to learn this.

Hey, Justin. Thanks for the videos, man. I'm a 38 year old beginner, and I got close to hitting the frontside revert today. Determined to have it by the weekend.

I find it helps if you bend your knees and then straight them just as you begin to rotate, i mean like if you are about to jump (maybe hippie jump) but without your feet leaving the board. This way, you decrease your weight on the board (and the friction on wheels on ground). Does that make sense? ^^'

Probably, best skateboarding teacher on YouTube.Both visual and oral parts are very helpful and nice. Respect from Russia :) Keep doing this videos

This video helped me more than any other I've seen on reverts. After a lot of practice, I got fs reverts down and am working on bs. One thing I think is worth mentioning is I found it *much* easier to revert when I loosened up my trucks, but I think it's just as good to learn them with tighter trucks, as well. Anyway, thanks for actually breaking this down! Definitely subbed.

This is actually a really descriptive explanation of how to do reverts. THANKS!

[marcusharris]

This trick is so fun, only took me an hour to learn it

[MrDJRoey]

I learned to do it today! And in the process of learning this trick, it dawned on me how to do a fs powerslide, its basically stopping in between attempting a fs revert. I’m so happy

[vix_in_japan]

This is really super helpful in helping me get frontside reverts down. Going to try backsides next. I've been skating again for about 4 months, I'm 38 and gradually building up the tricks. I've been getting a handful of lessons here in Japan but as I'm also not fluent in Japanese sometimes I don't understand all the instructions so this has helped me reinforce what I think I was being told. (It's a trip learning to skate and Japanese at the same time... small wonder my head hasn't exploded to be honest!)

[MrWhiterose]

Thanks to this guide, I learned this in just over an hour

[IAmbitiousI]

This really helps with learning fs and bs 180s

I was just quickly checking to see if I had my terminology correct still for reverts. Been a long time since I've been skateboarding. I noticed your teaching is very good the way you explain everything. I already know how to do this stuff though and can still do it even though I haven't skated for a few years other than just ride the board around once in a blue moon to get to point A to point B. This is the most random run on comment I have ever made LOL

[buckchoyteaman]

Sup justin! You got some sick in depth tutorials. Would you mind doing one on how to do a running start to get on the board??

[nikolashaaponiemi]

Keep on going, i like ur videos! greetings from finland!

[kgaikhangam]

hey man I love watching your tutorial your tutorial is the best I can say. thanks 👍

[ManChildDude]

Subbed bro! I'm just now getting into skateboarding. Quality content for sure.

[bradygibson]

i do these a lot. they are fun for going fast down hills

[hanesBoard]

I'm confused. It seems to me that the back set of wheels rotate just as much doing backside as doing frontside reverts, just in the opposite direction.
