HOW TO 360 FLIP THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL 2020

Braille Skateboarding12:19

HOW TO 360 FLIP THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL 2020 by Braille Skateboarding is a skateboarding tutorial for the Tre Flip. Braille's Aaron Kyro uses slow-motion footage of Johnny Geiger to show that the board is already at roughly 90 degrees before it leaves the ground, meaning the scoop starts the rotation before the pop even occurs.

What this video teaches

Braille's Aaron Kyro uses slow-motion footage of Johnny Geiger to show that the board is already at roughly 90 degrees before it leaves the ground, meaning the scoop starts the rotation before the pop even occurs. He emphasizes a back-seat body lean (shoulders squared over feet, leaning slightly backward) so the board scoops out in front of you rather than behind you, and the front foot stays nearly still to catch it.

Key tips

  • Back foot toes curl over the tail edge and push straight back: the scoop begins before the tail even leaves the ground
  • Board is already roughly 90 degrees into rotation before liftoff, so only 270 degrees remain in the air
  • Front foot at roughly 45 degrees near the middle of the board, barely flicks: the back foot's force does the spinning
  • Catch with the front foot, then simply bend the back knee and drop it onto the board
  • Lean in the back seat (shoulders squared, body angled slightly back) so the board scoops out in front of you, not behind
  • If you land on the nose or fall forward, your body is too far forward: shift weight backward before the pop
  • Varial flip is the closest prerequisite because the pop-shove portion uses the same back foot scoop motion
  • Practice the scoop one-footed: get the board into 360 rotation from standing, then add the front foot catch
