## The short answer

A no comply 180 is a no comply where the back foot scoops the board round frontside 180 while your front foot is on the ground. You roll away fakie. Put the ball of your back foot on the tail near the tip, slightly toward the heel side, and your front foot just behind the front bolts at about 45 degrees, heel hanging off the heel side. Step the front foot off wide and behind the board as you pop and push the board round, with your back foot staying on the grip, then hop back on.
