<div id="post_message_1137550">THE LAZER FLIP

This is a hard trick and before being attempted i would reccomend getting these tricks down:

1.F/S 360 Shove it

2. Varial Heels

3. Heels

If you ahve these down very well, you're ready to go.

FOOT PLACEMENT

FRONT FOOT - Exactly like a varial heel! Your toes hanging off slightly with the ball of your foot on the edge of the board. About halfway on the deck. Make sure it's about half way or it will be hard to get the spin.


BACK FOOT - Like a Frontside flip. Your toes should be on the opposite edge of the tail as your front foot is on the deck. You will want your toes to be on the VERY edge of whatever edge of the tail your foot is on.

I hate the way you said them tom-e so I will put them in my own hands writing wise.

Laserflip

that is just a nickname for the so called 360 heelflip, here are some more nicknames you should know, lazor flip, and 36o heel. Just like 360 flips basically nickname wise.

A laser flip is a 360 fs shovit and a heelflip. So what can you bring it down you may ask? Here is the answer you can bring it down stairs and gaps, handrails rare. Anything really you can ollie down or up you just have to have mad skills.

The concept of the laser flip is the skateboarder bends his knees low like right in a medium position unbends his knees and jumps up while hitting the tail and shoving the back foot foot fs 360. Bascily fs is the toe edge of the tail.
Once the skateboarder has done that he slides the front foot off and flicks it straight out casing the board to go 360 degrees fs with a heelflip. Now he catches this baby he looks for the logo side of his skateboard and brings both his feet down above it and waits to hit the ground and impacts by bending his knees once again. He makes sure the logo side he sees is right next the 360 degree mark case no one wants 180 instead of 360. Lets face it 360 anything looks so good.


Foot placement

I like to but my back foot on the tail duh. Now for this one you really want to hang alot of your back-foots heel off the board. Make sure to put your back foots toes on the heel edge case that is what makes it have a good scoop.
For the front foot I like to hang alot of my front foots toe off the toe edge of the board. Keep in mind when I said about the front foot make sure to put the front foot in the middle of the board makes it more easier for me at least.
You can have your front foot next to the front truck blots whatever feels more comfortable.

The pop

Make sure you bend thoughs knees case you cant make anything go in the air with out bending anything skateboarding wise. So start to bend your knees in a medium amount you don't want to bend them to low or to high. Once you are bending your knees lend back a little case the board often fall behind you alot and that should prevent it. So now once you have that down and you have alot of pressure on your back foot unbend thoughs knees and jump as high as you can and make sure to slam that tail down as hard as you can and once you have that down shovit fs really hard I mean really hard case you often get this 180 crap. So it takes alot of time and patience case lets face it your not gonna get this trick in one day you have to build the leg strength to make it go 360 degrees the opposite way you are used to doing it meaning bs. Now while you are shoving the board fs you want to flick with the front foot straight out side ways just like a heelflip and as soon as you have done that jump back a little so you can at least have a chance at catching it 270 or whatever degrees your close to.


Evening it out

Real hard not the easiest thing in the world case your board goes every where when you are trying this trick for the first time. This is kinda hard to explain but I Will try anyway. You want to stay centered in the whole process but you want to lean back a little and don't lean back or lean to far forward case if you do I bet you wont land it any time soon. Don't be scared of this trick you have to commit to it and if done right it should even out for you.

Landing

Hard also I kinda know you wont make it this far when you are first trying this trick but who knows maybe? Bascily wait till you see the logo side appear. It should come around 270 or so and then that is when you slam both your legs down on top of the board. Don't be scared and not land it case it will just take longer and no one wants that. Just keep trying on this trick and once you have caught it you want to just commit and once you have hit the ground bend your knees once again to absorb the impact.

Good luck

[chucktaylors369]

[star_skater]

im doing it fakie as well

I'm so close!

[SNICKERBAR]

lol it's messed up i can do this trick in any position and still get the same rotation. switch fakie regular nollie it doesnt matter. pretty werid. same with varial heels. i can do them in any postition. not bragging just kinda weird

[OasIsSk8eR]

[istinkatskateboarding]

a 360 inward heel is when its s heelflip and b/s 360 shove it

someone needs to make a trick tip for 360 inward heels...if anyone here can freakin do one

[Mr gangsta wallride]

[Deliverance]

[istinkatskateboarding]

lazer flips are weird is it just like a tre flip but with a heel instead

did you not read the thread

[E-T]

the reason why there isnt a vid is because you cant do a laser flip unless ur doin it down a freakin 20 set.

[mooncake]

sure you can just try em fakie, i reckon they come to me easier fakie

[popwarfreak77]

the weired thing is that i am closer to these than i am varial heels

[lovesmystery]

Lazer flips are fun to do down little sets and not many people do these. well that i know

[rewindDUDE]

i landed some, but i think the spin is easier in fakie, dunno, there fucking hard

[hectorosk8]

laser flips are easiest in nollie i just don't know why i can do them nollie but not in my regular stance it's wierd

[Skater4life64]

how do u laser flip ive seen it on the game skate but i never seen one in real life

[Skatingislife98765]

watch the show me the way trick tip on youtube, you can view it by typing in "laser flip" on youtube

[zooyork553]

so if a lazor flip is fs then whats a bs 360 heel flip..... 360 inward heel flip?
yep, inward means the board goes in like a pop shuv-it so a 360 inward heelflip is a 360 pop shuv-it with a heelflip.

[zibafu]

lol i am closer to landing these than i am to landing tre flips

[b-more]

i can perfectly flip a flatground lazer flip, but ive got a chicken foot and only land one foot...sucks

[ilovehandrails]

u do it and its like heaven lol

[Zemba]

Quit posting in these, its annoying

[BrianOsborn]

so if a lazor flip is fs then whats a bs 360 heel flip..... 360 inward heel flip?

yes, exactly

[backfoot_hospitalflip]

[SkaterPotater]

someone needs to make a trick tip for 360 inward heels...if anyone here can freakin do oneGive me a month.

[danny02]

[vflip2008]

[iJustDroppedMySkittles]

You get more flip if your going fakie.

[Nesta.]

I used to be able to land these like 9/10 in regular and fakie. But I quit skating and when I tried last week it wasn't too good with those

[robbyrob119]

[sk84life666]

[streetrocksvertsucks124]

[ALOCC]

[Bloodman]

so if a lazor flip is fs then whats a bs 360 heel flip..... 360 inward heel flip?

yes

[Alien Workshop Skater]

I Landed it my fifth try. I freaked out. :w00t: I could always do the spin and i recommend shoving your back foot harder and get to the point to where you dont even think about the kick. You just do it. I call em "Laser Taser's"

[Alien Workshop Skater]

lol

[josh-odyssey-]

i dont kno why but every time i try to land them i do verial hell and when i just try to form lazer flips i form them what am i doin rong

[rlee96positiv]

lasers look hella sick but there like one of the hardest flips ever!
i can do like almost every single heel variation except for this trick!
a fakie big heel is a lot easier... thats why i tried that one first...

[Iskatehard]

i dont kno why but every time i try to land them i do verial hell and when i just try to form lazer flips i form them what am i doin rong

I'd suggest practicing them in fakie or maybe even trying big heels/fakie big heels..

I mean, that's always been a big method for me when I am trying to learn tricks like this.

But in all honesty, I just cannot do this trick! Something about it fucks with me, and I just can't get em.

[Me4re]

so if a lazor flip is fs then whats a bs 360 heel flip..... 360 inward heel flip?
yes

[High Hope 11]

lazers look sick...
