What this video teaches
Braille's tutorial is the most technique-casual of the three: it was filmed with an instructor who had not done a pressure flip in years, which makes it relatable for beginners who feel unsure. The key coaching is that the rotation is a heel flip direction with a pop shove it component: the back foot scoops down, under, and outward. Braille also highlights a hardware tip shared nowhere else in these three videos.
Key tips
- The board rotates in the heel flip direction combined with a pop shove it: back foot scoops down and outward simultaneously
- Tighten your trucks before learning this trick; loose trucks absorb the pressure instead of letting the board pop and flip
- Catch the flip with your front foot after the rotation, then place the back foot down to land
- The board can shoot back at you between the legs; redirect the scoop outward and forward to avoid this
- Front foot position is not critical; just get it out of the way so the back foot can do the work
