While you get the most torque and start your 180 with your shoulders, you end with your feet.  Here with a backside 180 you’re pushing your back foot forward while pulling back with your front front foot. With a frontside 180 you’re pushing your front foot forward while pulling backwards on your back foot. If you’ve executed the 180 correctly, you’ll now be in mid air and your body will still be slightly wound up as your shoulders finish rotating with your feet not far behind.  This will all be happening in less than a second so try to just trust your body. Your momentum combined with how your body naturally moves should allow you unwind without trying too hard. Try not to overcompensate when unwinding though, as you might turn too far and land at an awkward angle that could send your board flying out from under you. Of course, this is a lot easier said than done, but if you’ve successfully completed the 180-degree rotation then you should hit the ground rolling.  Take note that you will be riding switch (with your opposite foot forward) when properly executed, so you may want to get used to riding with your opposite stance. Keep your knees bent so that you can properly absorb the shock of landing. This will also keep you balanced on your board, which may be harder for you if you’re not used to riding switch. If you’re having a hard time landing straight the best thing you can do is to just keep practicing and take note of how far you are rotating. If you’re not making it far enough try turning your shoulders more. If you’re going too far, then do the opposite and ease up a bit.

Using wood for the dog house will help keep the house insulated, even if the wood is rather thin. For the front wall of the house, make the opening for your dog as small as possible (although still comfortable) in order to allow the house to retain heat. Each side should be 26" long and 16" wide, while the front and back should be a 24" by 16" rectangle with an attached 12" high and 24" wide triangle on top of the rectangle. Cut out this shape in one piece for both the front and the back of the house. Leave a 3" tall space at the bottom of the opening to cover the base. To create the round arch at the top of the opening, use any round object you have handy, such as a mixing bowl. Using a piece of 2x2 fir or cedar wood, cut out eight pieces to use as framing to secure the walls and roof. You will need four corner framing pieces 15” long and four roof framing pieces 13” long. Then place the side panels on the base and screw galvanized wood screws every 4–5 inches (10.2–12.7 cm) around the perimeter. Place the front and back panels on the floor base and attach to the framing with galvanized wood screws every 4–5 inches (10.2–12.7 cm) around the perimeter.

Fasten one 15” corner framing piece to each edge of the side frames using three 1-1/4” galvanized wood screws. Attach the front and back panels.

The best place to find wooden pallets for free is at independent nurseries and hardware stores, since they are less likely to have someone who comes and picks up their pallets. Therefore, they'll usually give them to you for free. You can also check out local construction sites. Always ask before removing a pallet. If it has spills on it, they could be hazardous. Therefore, choose one that looks relatively clean. Plus, clean ones will make a better finished product. The slates should be far enough apart that your shoes can slip through the slats but close enough together that it holds the shoes up. Be sure to wear gloves when picking up your pallet. It will have splinters. Some pallets are stamped with codes that describe how they were treated before use. One without codes is generally safe to use. However, if it has the codes EUR or MB or if the wood is colored, don't use it. If it has the codes DB, HT, or EPAL, it's generally acceptable to use. Most pallets are left untreated, which can mean splinters and uneven wood. Take the time to sand the wood.  Use an 80 grit sandpaper. You can use a power sander to help get the job done. If desired, you can move up to finer sandpaper for a smoother finish.  Some people recommend planning the surface if you prefer a new-wood look. You can use a standard brush-on stain, but if you want something quick, try spraying on a stain instead of brushing it on.  When brushing on stain, apply it in long, even strokes with a wide brush. Use an ample amount, and then wipe away any excess once the stain has absorbed.  When spraying on a stain, apply it in even coats. Read the directions to find out how far away you should hold the can from the project when spraying. Use light coats, and wait for each coat to at least partially dry before applying the next one. The finish will protect the wood. If you want the natural look of the wood to shine through, try a beeswax finish. Apply the finish in thin coats, waiting between coats. Once a coat is applied, run the brush over the whole length at a 45 degree angle to smooth it out. Let the pallet dry. You can put this in your closet or in your room. The beams should run parallel to the floor. Place all the fancier shoes on one level. Insert them between the slats. The top slat on each level should provide enough support to hold them up with the ends sticking out. Place the sneakers on the next level, the casual shoes on one level, and so on.
