How to 360 Underflip | Skateboarding Tutorial

What this video teaches

Moonstoked's 360 underflip fakes a tre flip using a shove-it plus an underflip catch, and the tutorial spends most of its time on the exact back-foot mechanic that also drives a kickflip underflip: scooping the board into rotation and then kicking it up from underneath in one continuous motion, with the front foot doing nothing but getting out of the way.

Key tips

• 1Set your front foot like a tre flip but shifted farther back, since its only job is to clear out of the way, not to flip anything
• 2Let your back foot do all the work: it scoops the board into rotation and then flicks it up from underneath in a single swift motion
• 3Wait for the board to swing around to the same position it would reach in a regular shove-it before committing your back foot to the flick
• 4Do not try to pop the tail down hard, scoop the board rather than popping it to keep the motion continuous
• 5Keep your foot underneath the board through the transition from the scoop into the kick so the flick feels natural rather than forced
• 6Expect the board to rise up and meet your feet on its own once your flick speed matches your scoop speed, so you are not chasing a catch
• 7If the motion feels disconnected, isolate the scoop and the flick as two separate movements before blending them together
• 8Practice stationary before adding any rolling speed, since the timing window for the flick is narrow
