Step Off UNDERFLIP ~ (Skateboarding Tutorial)

What this video teaches

A beginner-friendly progression for skaters who are not ready for a full kickflip underflip. WSW breaks the trick into a step-off drill: hop off the board with your front foot, flick the back toe underneath for the underflip, then land back on the deck, which isolates the underflip catch before you ever add the kickflip pop.

Key tips

• 1Start rolling in a regular stance with your back foot in the tail pocket and front foot in the nose pocket
• 2Step off with your front foot first, placing it on the ground right beside the board
• 3Immediately pull your back foot off the board and slide your toes underneath it
• 4Give the board a gentle upward flick with your back toe to produce the underflip or heel flip rotation
• 5Jump off cleanly with both feet once the flick is thrown so the board has room to complete its flip
• 6Land back over the bolts, or back in the tail and nose pockets, distributing your weight evenly across both feet
• 7Use this step-off version as a bridge if a full kickflip underflip feels too fast to learn in one motion
• 8Film yourself in slow motion from multiple angles to check that your flick timing matches the board's rotation
