HOW TO DOUBLE FLIP THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL

What this video teaches

Aaron Cairo (Braille) breaks the double flip down into a universal principle: how far the flicking foot sits off the side of the board controls rotation speed. Demonstrated via a double kickflip but stated as a transferable rule for doubling any flip trick, including the heelflip, with a step-off drill to isolate the flick before adding the catch.

Key tips

• 1Move your flicking foot further off the side of the board than a single-flip position, the more foot hanging off, the faster the board spins
• 2Practice the flick alone first: pop, flick as hard as you can, then step off your back foot without trying to land it
• 3Once the flick feels reliable, add the catch back in by stopping the rotation with your front foot before setting the back foot down
• 4Snap your ankle right as your toe reaches the edge of the board for the hardest, cleanest flick
• 5Expect to land primo often while learning, the board is spinning much faster than a single flip, so plan for the fall
• 6Isolate the trick into three separate reps: the flick alone, the catch alone, then the full combination
• 7Use this same off-to-the-side foot rule to fix an under-rotating single flip, not just to learn the double
• 8Test both the flicking motion and the stopping motion on your own board to find your personal sweet spot for foot placement
