The Backside Ollie is a very stylish transition trick. If you are into airtime but you want to have everything in sight, this is just the right trick for you.
Of course, you should already have a normal Ollie on lock and a bit of experience in riding transition is also an advantage. While Backside Ollies are one of the more easier flat ground tricks, they are a bit harder in a quarter pipe. But it’s worth every second of practise. So keep it up!

1. Approach the quarter with a little bit more speed and in a slight angle. Put your feet in the Ollie position.
2. Just before your front truck reaches the coping, pop your tail.
3. Similar to the Backside 180 on flat, you should also use your shoulders to help with the 180 degree turn.
4. At 90 degrees in the air, you should have reached the highest point. Now finish the 180 with the help of your front foot, which should be the guide, and press down the nose.
5. Let both of your trucks land into the quarter pipe and roll away.
Be careful that you and your board are not to close to the coping when going back into the quarter pipe so you don’t hang up. Also make sure to not bent too much forward or backward as you go back into the quarter pipe.
