Nose Manual Flip Out

Sewa Kroetkov and TJ Peters both treat this as two separate tricks bolted together and insist you have solid nose manuals and a solid nollie flip before you combine them. They agree the flip foot is repositioned during the manual, not set up in advance, and they agree on the same core failure: trying to pop a proper flat ground nollie flip out of the manual. Sewa says popping early gets you stuck and throws you forward, and TJ says leaning over the front foot and flicking too hard kicks the board out behind you. TJ describes the correct exit as a push and flick, closer to a Chinese ollie where the wheels bounce off the edge than a real pop, while Sewa describes the same feeling as popping into nothing, the same hop you get leaving any nose manual. Their foot descriptions differ slightly: Sewa moves the flip foot out so the toes hang over the edge, further out than his flat ground nollie flip stance, while TJ describes the back foot ending up roughly horizontal and being wiggled into place. Both warn against spending the whole pad fiddling with foot position instead of committing. The Braille video covers the kickflip in rather than the flip out, but its advice about a low gentle flip and a soft nose landing applies to the entry side of the same trick.

• →Get nose manuals and nollie flips fully dialed separately before trying to combine them
• →Ollie into a normal nose manual first, then move the flip foot into position around halfway down the pad
• →Set the flip foot further out than for a flat ground nollie flip, with the toes slightly over the edge rather than in the concave
• →The flip out is a push and flick, not a real pop; think of hopping into nothing the way you exit any nose manual
• →Do not lean over the front foot or flick too hard, or the board shoots out behind you while your body goes forward
• →Stay above the board and commit to the flip instead of wobbling your foot into place for the whole pad
