The foot placement that you'll need for the feeble stall, 180 out, will be very similar
to the foot placement that you used, to do a rock and roll, and come in. Basically, what
you want to do is extend your weight out onto the deck of the ramp, but have all your weight
safely above the coping, or on the inside of the ramp. So, your foot placement is going
to have to reflect that. So you're going to put one foot on your tail, and the other foot
somewhere comfortably above the front set of wheels, or the front truck. And, once you
get into the feeble stall, you're going to want to make sure that your foot is slightly
turned like this. The reason that you're angling your toe like this is because as soon as you
get in the feeble stall, you're going to want to put your weight on the heel. But as soon
as you want to get back out, it's going to be redistributed back onto your toe. So these
two positions are there purposefully. Your front foot is going to be rested somewhere
on, above the front wheels at this time, and you're going to want to straighten your front
leg. What this does, it keeps you safe on the inside. And then when it's time to turn
back out, you swing your upper body and you head back down the ramp. Some times people
learn how to do a feeble 180 in, before they learn how to do the feeble fakie. The reason
that the feeble 180 in is a little bit easier, is because there's not as much committing
that goes into rolling 180 in, and you may already be used to the motion, having learned
how to do a rock and roll. The other reason this is slightly easier, is because the foot
positioning that you use for this trick, and coming in forward, is a little bit easier
because you can get on top of the deck, and put weight on your heel, and be in the feeble
position before going back in. So this is the proper foot positioning for a feeble 180
in.
