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

What this video teaches

A thorough slow-motion breakdown that divides the tre flip into three mechanical phases (pressure, release and scoop, catch and landing), with emphasis on back-toes-off-tail position and using ankle rotation rather than whole-leg force for the scoop.

Key tips

• 1Place back foot straight off the tail with all toes hanging completely off the edge so you can use ankle rotation during the scoop
• 2Put front foot in normal kickflip position, shifted slightly back toward center at a slight angle
• 3Load almost all your weight onto the back of the board and lean on your toes to create tension before the scoop
• 4Scoop the tail down and forward toward the nose so it strikes the ground near the heel-side back wheel, not straight down
• 5Nudge your front foot forward as a guide to direct the board's rotation and stop it from flying behind you
• 6Lean forward toward your toes as you scoop so your body follows the board as it travels slightly forward
• 7Catch with your front foot only: the back foot catching will push the board off and causes ankle rolls
• 8The ankle-only scoop with the back leg kept low is the technique for a lazy, effortless-looking tre flip
