Basics and Physics of Varial Kickflip #skateboarding #3d #varialflip #kickflip by whythetrick is a skateboarding tutorial for the Varial Kickflip 180. whythetrick breaks the setup into a slow, deliberate loading sequence, front foot near the bolts and back foot in the pocket, crouching with weight toward the toe side before popping, and stresses that jumping too early before your body gains upward momentum makes the pop weaker.
What this video teaches
whythetrick breaks the setup into a slow, deliberate loading sequence, front foot near the bolts and back foot in the pocket, crouching with weight toward the toe side before popping, and stresses that jumping too early before your body gains upward momentum makes the pop weaker. Frames the front foot flick as going straight forward or slightly toe-side rather than off to the side, so it does not block the board's spin.
Key tips
- Recognize this trick as a combination of a kickflip and pop shove-it in terms of spinning axis, but understand it takes more than simply performing both motions independently
- Place your front foot right before the bolts and your back foot in the toe-side pocket of the tail
- Move your front foot farther back and your back foot closer to the tail's edge if you want more pop height
- Crouch down with your weight shifted slightly toward the toe side before popping, keeping your eyes on your front foot
- Let your body gain upward momentum first and avoid popping too early; popping before your body rises wastes energy holding the board down
- Flick your front foot straight forward or slightly toward the toe side rather than out to the side, so it does not block the board's horizontal spin
- Time the pop to happen once your body has reached its highest point of upward momentum, not before
