What this video teaches
A problem-focused tutorial targeting the most common flick error (flicking upward and too far out) and advising to flick downward and forward instead, with front foot in a heelflip position and back foot anchoring in a frontside-shove position.
Key tips
- Front foot in heelflip position; back foot in a frontside-shove position so the board has room to flip in the air.
- Common error: flicking upward and outward too much into the air. Correct by flicking downward and more in front of you.
- The back foot acts primarily as an anchor for the landing; the front foot drives the flip and rotation.
- Catch the trick with the front foot because that is the side where the board is flipping toward.
- Use a one-foot landing drill to practice the flick direction before committing to both feet.
- Jump slightly forward rather than straight up to keep your body over the board as it completes the rotation.
