The 360 flip |
performed by Nick Andrews |
Bend those legs, and put your feet in a kickflip, with your front foot dragging off the side a little more than usual, about half way in the centre of your board. |
Jump upwards, releasing your legs from their crouched position as in step 1. |
As your board pops up, kick downwards on the side of your board with you FRONT foot, and kick backwards with your BACK foot. |
Aim for your board to flip that 180 at least and jumping high enough allows enough time for the board to flip once and spin a 360. |
Wait for your board to complete its 360 and flip, and catch it with your front foot, sneaking your back foot on after. |
Catch your tre flip clean, and then go and chuck it down a set on video and learn some variations. like fakie 360 flip, big flip (Just turn a 180). |
Welcome to the 360 flip. These tricks are maybe the hardest trick, but definitely look the best.It is also known as a tre flip, thirty six flip or 3 flip (As ESPN) say! Have a look at the pics and hopefully they can help. If you can't see the pics well enough then click on them to enlarge. |
