How To Master LASER FLIPS | Full Laser Flip Tutorial

What this video teaches

Tom Rohrer gives the most detailed laser flip breakdown of the three videos, covering front foot placement (further back than most tricks, centered on the board with toes just barely hanging off), the importance of learning it off a kicker or hip first for extra hang time, and the exact sequence: scoop the board frontside 360 first, then flick the heelflip a split second after. Tom explains why the front foot sits back further: the kick needs to travel a long distance out and the extra reach from a more centered position allows the full rotation to complete.

Key tips

• 1Front foot sits further back than most tricks, roughly in the center of the board, with toes just barely hanging off the heel edge; this position gives the foot enough travel distance to guide the full frontside rotation
• 2Learn it off a kicker, hip, or curb first; the extra hang time makes the trick significantly more manageable before attempting it on flat ground
• 3Sequence matters: scoop the frontside 360 with the back foot first, then flick the heelflip with the front foot a split second after the board starts turning; doing them simultaneously causes the flip to fight the rotation
• 4The front foot kick guides the rotation direction, so the flick must go in the direction of the frontside spin (forward/outward), not straight down
• 5Weight on the front toe edge is important; too much weight on the heel side and the board will not scoop cleanly in the frontside direction
