Braille Skateboarding10:36

HOW TO 360 FLIP THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL FOR INTERMEDIATE SKATERS by Braille Skateboarding is a skateboarding tutorial for the Tre Flip. Braille's intermediate version by Aaron Kyro builds on the same 98 percent back foot principle and zeroes in on the scoop as a muscle to train in isolation, answering common Q and A questions about rotation power, foot position adjustments, and why the flip and shove seem to fight each other.

What this video teaches

Braille's intermediate version by Aaron Kyro builds on the same 98 percent back foot principle and zeroes in on the scoop as a muscle to train in isolation, answering common Q and A questions about rotation power, foot position adjustments, and why the flip and shove seem to fight each other. He stresses that the only action needed after mastering the front-foot-only landing is to bend the back knee up and drop it.

Key tips

  • 98 percent back foot, 2 percent front foot: the scoop is everything, the flick is almost incidental
  • Board reaches roughly 90 degrees before it leaves the ground because of back foot scoop pressure, then it continues like a varial flip in the air
  • Practice scoop one-footed with back foot only, no jumping, to build that muscle memory before combining feet
  • Front foot is at 45 degrees: only the slightest nudge is needed because the spinning board barely needs more energy to complete the flip
  • If rotation is incomplete, move the front foot slightly further back down the board to increase spin
  • After landing the front-foot-only version, the only addition is bending the back knee up into the air and dropping it onto the board
  • If flip and shove fight each other, you are concentrating too hard on one at a time: keep both motions as one simultaneous move
  • Front foot catches the board and stops the rotation: it lands extended, then back foot drops in
