Learn How to “360 Flip” from Paul Rodriguez

What this video teaches

A short tre flip lesson from pro skater Paul Rodriguez, not a triple kickflip — flagged as transferable technique. Distills the trick down to one repeatable mental cue: a big scoop with the back foot, like scraping gum off your shoe, paired with a small tap forward from the front foot, useful as a simple two-part framing for any trick built on a dominant scoop plus a secondary guiding motion.

Key tips

• 1Position your back foot in the tail pocket with your toes hanging off so you can grip the edge of the board with your foot
• 2Rest your front foot on the balls of your toes so it's ready to give a light push during the rotation
• 3Picture scraping gum off the tip of your shoe as the mental image for the scoop motion — a big, deliberate scrape, not a soft push
• 4Let the board tilt as you scoop so your front foot's small forward tap becomes easier and more natural, not forced
• 5Keep the front foot's contribution minimal and secondary; the scoop drives the rotation, the tap only guides it
• 6Repeat the same big-scoop, little-tap cue on every attempt rather than varying your technique between tries
• 7Apply this same dominant-motion-plus-small-guiding-motion framing to other multi-part flip tricks where one foot leads and the other assists
