7/50 Skateboard trick tip- 360 flips

360 Flips are a pretty popular trick now. It's like you can't watch a skate video without seeing them done quite a few times in a part. Ofcourse not all parts do, but a high majority does. So what does this show? That 360 flips are becoming a standard (while advanced) skateboard trick.

Alright, first off I will covor how to set up your feet. Your back foot actually plays more of a role than your front foot. But first off I will covor the front foot. See, alot of people say it is easier to put it angled like a kickflip about in the middle of your board. Well, it makes the board easier to spin, but alot harder to controll. So what I would suggest is you set it up like you would a kickflip. And just a few inches behind the front bolts. And for the back foot.. I would suggest putting it on the outside corner, just to make it easier to get a good scoop.

Now for the trick part! The back foot plays the most important role here. You probably can already do, or get close to, a 360 shove it. Although this trick involves a 360 shove, you can still see a bit of a difference in how it feels. The main trick is not to pop, but to scoop. This means you drag your back foot with the board instead of a fast pop, to help it get around. Also don't just scoop back, scoop your back foot towards your front foot. If you watch pros, you will see their back foor always ends up under them about under their leading leg's thigh. As for the front foot, kick straight out. And don't kick hard, you should barley flick it. It really will not take that much to get it around.

Landing this trick can be hard! Often, wheel bite can be a problem. Another problem can be landing on the nose, which isn't good, you can really break boards on this trick. So before trying it off anything, even a curb, I would suggest being able to land on bolts while on flatground.

Also.. I first tried learning 360 flips and I just couldn't get them. So I learned fakie big flips, and then fakie 360 flips.. Then I found out that normal ones were alot easier. So if you can't get it, try fakie ones first. Also, you should note this trick has a few different names. People will refer to them as "tre flips" and "3 flips" sometimes also.

Good luck, this one can take a long time! If you have questions, ask away.
