Quick and Easy Tre Flip Tutorial - 5 Minute Tutorial

What this video teaches

Despite the general trick-tips framing, this video breaks down the tre flip (360 flip) specifically: back foot loaded and driving nearly all the power, front foot staying light and only guiding the rotation with a half-kickflip-style flick off the side of the board.

Key tips

• 1Load the back foot more than the front foot heading into the pop so weight sits pushing down into the back wheel
• 2Keep the front foot from going passive, use it as a light half-kickflip flick that comes off the side of the board and guides the flip along rather than powering it
• 3Jump off the back foot and aim to land back on the back foot roughly three feet in front of the takeoff spot, not straight forward onto the front foot
• 4Avoid stomping the tail flat into the ground and forcing the rotation, instead feel like jumping off the back wheel and letting the board bounce off the ground almost like a hippie jump
• 5Treat the whole flick as a one-and-done motion that happens right at takeoff, there is no mid-air adjustment to rely on
• 6Position the back foot either all the way at the back edge of the tail or down in the tail pocket on the grip tape, trapping the back wheel against the ground
• 7If the board is not rotating fully, fix it with more jump power or better back-foot position, not a different flick
