In skate, when you nollie VS ollie: is it possible to do different rotations out of each take off? or are the rotations all the same.

I'm having a bit of a tiff with a friend over this

Man, I've been skating for like 8 years and I still can't agree with my friends what's frontside and backside when you're popping off your nose.

its the same in nollie as in ollie. but a frontside half cab is actually more like a backside 180. half cab everything is backwards. just like if you fakie ollie and then nosegrind. (your unnatural but forward foot is grinding) its not a nosegrind its a fakie 5-0

i maybe wrong here but isnt a 5-0 on your truck while a nosegrind is sliding on the nose of your board?

I agree with you, but a lot of my friends don't.

And I hate that bullshit about 180 - 5-0's being nosegrinds and visa versa.  I refuse to call it that, it's just fucking dumb.
