For the uninitiated, a 180 Ollie is an Ollie with a 180-degree turn. As such, the body and the board jump and turn together in a frontward motion exposing the front part of your body first, hence the name “Frontside”. This trick is a useful foundation and comes into play for a whole range of other tricks like FS Flips or BS Noseslides. The most Ollie 180’s completed in one minute is a total of 27, a previous Guinness Record, set by Nicholas Whitehurst of the USA in 2014.

“I’m so happy to have broken this record – it was so much fun to do but also one of the most difficult I’ve attempted. I realised how challenging it would be once I had reached the half-way mark. I never really put a number to it but just kept going until the time was up,” said record-breaker Jean-Marc.
