What this video teaches
UNDERFLIPED channel pitches the underflip as a shortcut to looking like you have tre flips and focuses on the 'make yourself weightless' concept: shift body weight upward without hopping with your whole body, instead pulling up the knees to create a window to manipulate the board. Back foot toes hang off the edge; initiate the shove it and leave the back foot hanging, then slightly point the toes down as the board meets the foot, lifting the knee to flip.
Key tips
- Make yourself weightless by shifting body weight up and pulling your knees up rather than hopping; this creates the window to flip the board
- Back foot: toes hanging off the edge; initiate the shove it and leave the back foot hanging beneath the board
- Point the toes of the back foot slightly downward as the board meets the foot, then lift the knee to trigger the underflip
- Prerequisites suggested: shove its and varial flips help with the scoop and flip concepts
- Front foot position is flexible; the back foot and the weightless jump are the only critical variables
