=========Yep thought so=============
key to this is building yourself up... im sure you can 180 easily, so come up to a quarter with hardly any speed and just try a f/s ollie (right down near the flat) Then build yourself up faster, higher (you'll bail a good few times as you get higher but you'll soon get used to the transition of the ramp your using)... key thing to remember is think about what your doing it on first... if it a 4 ft quarter your gonna have to pop it big tuck it in and pull your body out or your gonna be hanging up (and once you start getting higher it fucking hurts landing on your elbow from 9ft up)
If your on a bigger quarter that's going into vert you will hardly need to pop at all and just let the coping pop you out and concentrate on your weight distribution over that ramp - pulling to far out and you'll be landing on flat.
Have fun but take your time, i've seen lots of people fall on there face because they under estimate the transtion. If you take your time and are confident with the transition landing it will come on its own.
Hope this helps
Cheers
