You grab your board, pull up and jump with it.

i might as well give it a try...
i recently have been skating 8's and 8.18's and can no longer spin a tre in tre fashion. with a 7.75 i could get the flip nearly perfect but ive lost it.
anybody care enough to help?

I find them a pretty neat flatland trick, and a good trick for a game of SKATE. I understand the motion, but I can never get the full flip my board lands upside down. If I try scoop it forward more, my board does a 360 or impossible kind of motion, but still always lands upside down. Any advice?

My friend taught me these over the weekend.

It's easiest to get the scoop motion down with one foot off the board. As if you were going to do a No-Comply Pressure Flip. Just put your backfoot in the pressure flip position and practice getting it to flip correctly with that foot while standing stationary. It won't translate much differently as far as feel once you start rolling and practicing them just a tad awkward. (and get that front foot out of the way asap.

hope that helps.

sometimes i land on the board but i have to use my hands to stay on. and i can't get controlled full rotation most of the time. and i sometimes do twisted flips instead

Make sure you pop before you scoop to give you the height you need = more controlled rotation. Pretty much, treat it as if it were an ollie, then when the tail is in contact with the ground scoop it, then jump high and kick your front foot forward. Give it a real solid scoop, try not to use your whole body to get any rotation (that's probably where you are getting twisted flips). Try not to do one of those kick-the-board-as-hard-as-humanly-possible scoops if you are, it screws you up. You really need to experiment with types scoops, the direction and the force to find out what works best for you. If you use your hands when you land, it's just a confidence problem. Pretty easy to fix. Just make sure you land on 2 feet every time, even during bailed ones.
And just practice after that.

Hope that helps a bit.

bigspins, I cant roll away and when I go faster I slip out or the board flies out.

Are your back 180s consistant? Make sure they are.

If you have them consistant, back bigspins shouldn't be much of a problem. If you can't get roll away, just do em a bit faster like you said, but build on them since you are slipping out. What I mean by building is try 270 bigspins with 90 degree reverts, try to get those consistant. Then try 300 bigspins with a revert, then 330, then the whole 360 bigspin. You just want to build on them. Jumping into it would take longer, you just want to do them gradually. Also, try to not lean too far toe side, that was my problem when I was learning these, it really screwed me up. Try to follow the board as best as possible, popping them helps a lot too. Remember to build!

Hope that helps ya a bit

Just wondering... Can you actually do these tricks? Im sure most of them are pretty simple tricks, but I have yet to see anything from you before.

However, I am having problems with Nollie Bs 360 Heelflips. Like Ive gotten 270 at most with a full flip.

[kickflippr]

front heels. every time i try i sort of just let it flip uncontrollably. i can varial heel pretty well now. and front 180 also heelflips are really easy for me now. when i do it my board flips full but my back foot just goes down at 90. and the board flips full and my front foot is on but my shoulders are sort of at 90 as well.

No he can't. He just googles it all and pastes it here.

[1crazyboy7]

well, for hardflips I land with my frontfoot, my feet get away in the way alot, and I can never commit with my backfoot getting over the board even a second after the pop, haha.

well right after u pop u jump and slide off the side and then spread ur feet like a no handed airwalk.ur back foot goes like infront of u while ur front foot goes to the side. and when u see it flip right under you u stomp it.

Frontside bigspins.

Can't fucking get them for some reason >:C

[codycantskate]

I have the same problem. Can't backside grind onto anything unless I'm rolling straight towards the object...


Someone previously mentioned to set your board along a crack or next to a curb and just practice ollie'ng backwards. (obviously not backwards as in "rolling fakie") It's all in the backfoot.

I've been trying this and it seems to be helping, but I haven't been too successful on obstacles really, just end up doing sketchy willie's. =/

try jumping straight up, almost like an ollie. i lost them when i learned varials and started trying tres, now i can barely do them haha. i set up like a high ollie and put a lot of power into scooping, before i would set up kinda like a varial and just throw it. when you try them set up like a high ollie, it tends to spin more under you, so just try jumping straight up

i pretty much lost'em. no matter where i put my feet on the board now, it starts to go primo and looks/feels sketchy. Got FS Shuvs clean and pop'd high tho.

Uh ya. Just because I'm new to the forum doesn't mean I'm new to skating =P

I was trying to get those full rotation before, hard as hell to get it without the revert at the end. If I do get the 360 I get a half flip. Sorry, got nothing for that one =P
nollie lasers > nollie 360 heels, lulz

How did you find out???

Hmm... When I do em I put my back foot almost parallel to the board on the heelside edge of the tail, this really helps. And build on it, like i've said in my previous posts. 270 fs bigspin, 300 fs bigspin, 330, then 360. It's pretty easy, just needs a bit of work. What exactly happens when you do them?

Hm... Try them stationary first onto a box. Do it just like a front 5050, you just want to drag your back foot along with the board, and to have both feet hit the rail, even if it doesn't seem like you'll make it. It's good to develop a good habit, which is probably why you get those boardslides.

Southpark was on, I couldn't think of an answer to your problem, and that just happened to be on my mind
