How to Tre Flip - Skateboard Tricks Tutorial (Slow Motion) - How to 360 Flip

How to Tre Flip - Skateboard Tricks Tutorial (Slow Motion) - How to 360 Flip by Skiddy Skates is a skateboarding tutorial for the Triple Kickflip. This is a tre flip (360 flip: pop shove-it plus kickflip), not a triple kickflip — flagged as transferable technique because the scoop-and-flick coordination and front-foot catch discipline it teaches carry over to any multi-rotation flip trick.

What this video teaches

This is a tre flip (360 flip: pop shove-it plus kickflip), not a triple kickflip — flagged as transferable technique because the scoop-and-flick coordination and front-foot catch discipline it teaches carry over to any multi-rotation flip trick. Breaks the trick into pressure, release-and-scoop, and catch-and-landing phases, with strong emphasis on back-foot ankle control and front-foot catch positioning.

Key tips

  • Load your back foot with nearly all your weight on the tail before scooping, using your front foot as the release point that starts the trick
  • Hang your back toes fully off the tail edge so your ankle, not your whole leg, drives the scoop — a technique that transfers to any trick needing extra rotation
  • Keep your front shoulder centered over the front bolts and your back knee pointed forward so your body doesn't twist off the board's rotation
  • Nudge your front foot forward as you scoop to guide where the rotation finishes, instead of letting the board fly out in front or land behind you
  • Prioritize a front-foot catch over a back-foot catch — catching with the back foot is a common cause of rolled ankles on landing
  • Practice on flat ground until the front-foot catch is consistent before adding height or extra rotation
  • Use ordinary shove-its as a drill to build the ankle-driven scoop motion in isolation
  • Expect this trick, like any multi-rotation flip, to reward patience: the technique compounds once the base scoop and flick are automatic
