What this video teaches

A tre flip tutorial, not a triple kickflip — flagged as transferable technique. Frames the trick as built from foot position and jump power rather than an in-air adjustment, with the entire flick locked in at takeoff. The one-and-done framing, where all flick decisions happen before you leave the ground, is directly relevant to any trick that needs multiple rotations completed in a single committed jump.

Key tips

  • Use your front foot as a light half-kickflip that guides the rotation, even though your back foot drives most of the trick
  • Load slightly more weight onto your back foot than your front before popping
  • Jump off your back foot and aim to land back on your back foot roughly three feet in front of where you started, so the board returns underneath you
  • Avoid pushing your tail straight into the ground and forcing the rotation — let the board bounce off the ground while you're airborne instead
  • Lock in all your flicking decisions at takeoff; there's no adjusting the flick once you're in the air, so setup and jump power matter more than in-air correction
  • If you're smaller or have less jump power, use a bank or incline to add extra height and rotation time instead of forcing more force through your back foot
  • Treat back-foot position on the tail (outside edge vs. deeper in the pocket) as a personal tuning variable worth experimenting with
  • Build confidence with the base motion on flat ground before expecting consistent rotation on any bigger setup
