Hey my brother, thank you for this great video. I’m reading the comments here and yes indeed, I’m a 47 year old skater. I love tre flips, did my first back in like 98-99. I had to stop skating due to two near fatal car accidents back in 2007. However, where there is a will, there is a way. Big love and respect to everyone who is getting back into, what I know, is a huge part of our lives. Love and positivity to you all.
Very interesting facts. Tre flip is for some of us a passion and all depth details are fascinating. One other fact not very popular and I see you're doing too is that the board does not rotate under your body but deside. When scooping the body position (shoulders / hips) are making the board moves between 5 or 10 inches ahead of your chest. That allows you as you said to scoop forward. Otherwise your deck will hit your legs
Thanks man. Been thinking of getting back into skating for mental and physical benefits. These kinda videos make me wanna see if I can get what I never could consistently before . Blessings and good vibes your way brother.
Oh cool yeah you just gotta ease into it. But yeah I wish I had UA-cam tutorials when I was young haha... good luck to you ... most importantly have fun !!!
Dude your Ollie tutorial and this one are so good! 50 year old skater here getting back into it one trick at a time. Man scooping forward is such a game changer! It’s literally the only thing I haven’t tried. Can’t wait to give it a spin😂❤🧙🏽♂️
changing from a 8.125 to a 8.25 (maybe more concave) DEFinatly makes the board flips more, I had to relearn pop-shuvs cuz they would land primo. I battle it real hard. I have not yet learned tre-flips, but I guess i have landed maybe a couple doing *failed backfoot impossibles. The only pressure flips/ foot position I learned is for hardflips. This is really forward scoop too. and the front foot getting out/barely assisting. I have yet to master and actually land, on purpose, a tre-flip... many skaters have this tricks unlocked early it's mindblowing! Thanks for the advices man good jobs with the tuts!
I recently got back into skating after like 15 years. I used to ride a 7.5. The guy at the shop asked how I landed on it. It finally clicked why a bigger board is good. I need a large area to land.
really good tutorial man and you are right most tutorials in youtube never mentioned about these 3 facts. when i tell people how to tre flip i usually let them know which direction they need to skate the tail and to which direction they need to flick/extend the front foot.
Interesting point about truck tightness. It seems like the longer you skate, the more loose you want your trucks anyway for smoother board control, so I bet most don’t even think about that by the time they get to tre flips. Good video! I’ve wanted to tre flip for years, getting decently consistent rotation but never seriously focused on them, so you’ve inspired me to make it happen.
Once you get the scoop, it actually get so much easier to do ... But if you try to force it ... You get tired out n keep making worse... Anyway I posted another treflip video basically covering same subjects but I think I added some additional points
Super easy. Your back foot goes into the back pocket of the board, dead center in the concave, your front foot does absolutely nothing, It's all in your back foot...you press down with the tip of your toes in between that concave and what makes it flip is actually jumping up, the pressure from the tip of your toes and jumping up Causes the board to Flip, try to stay dead center. Good luck
Epic tip! Believe me I've watch at least 10 videos on this trick and still haven't got it. The tech deck is a great way to show how to do it. When I 360 flip on a tech deck it flips with a heel flip instead, which makes more sense to me. How can you put pressure on your toes and make it kick flip. On my real board, I get close then complicate it in my head and then get no where near. They typically do a 360 shov which you pointed out. I’ll let you know when I stick it..could be years.. But someday I will! Land a 360flip
@@2FTSK8 i mean to say if you have strong toes especially big toes you have the micro muscles to flip the board. i noticed when trying to do it late in age again. my toes got tired.
Yea, another unmentioned little fact - not only the pop but that little back foot toe-flick with the ankle AFTER it pops. I always had trouble with that part of the technique
I landed my first tre in 10 years today. I scooped towards the nose but instead of worrying about my front foot flicking, i made my scoop foot get the tre at its most vertical point then i just lift my front foot up and it flips and rotates better than i ever could before
The hardest part about tre flips is to learn how to stay above it with both feet so you actually have a chance to land it. Yet, there is no a single tutorial about this problem.
It is a good point ..... To me ....To be above the board, you need to scoop the board to the right direction.... Before this video came out I don't think anyone was talking about it.., now they do...
@@2FTSK8 Thanks for replying. I would disagree on the scooping in right direction as the fix to stay above the board. This is because I can scoop the board in right direction, it will rotate perfectly, I will catch it with my front foot only, while my back leg is on the ground long before the board finished rotation. I scooped it right but still had no chance to land with both feet. I think It is about synchronisation of the scoop as you go up. It needs to be done in the right moment. Also, despite front leg going up first you actualy bring energy to jump from both legs, not just the back leg. It's a frustrating trick. I can do pretty high heelflips but tre flip is another breed. I've learned board rotation on the first day. Practicing it every day for 1-2 hours for the last 6 months. Never managed to land a single one.
Ok ok I think you are figuring out the timing of things.... It is very delicate to find the timing on this one because you can scoop with heavy footing or light footing.... I cover this next two treflip videos I made... But basically first try to execute the scoop and flick light ... If you have to buy light trucks and smaller deck to help with that do it .... And try everything to jump with upper body ... Like lifting arms as you jump... Try not to hit the ground to hard ...instead... Try to rotate the board more as you scoop .. like fast sweep.... And Send me video on insta or something!!!
Thanks very much for taking the effort. All great advice. I will record myself at some point so maybe you can advise what should I correct. Many thanks again.
@@2FTSK8 i can tell you that for me tricks are better with 7.75. 8 gets harder to send but more confortable to go around. I believe in what you say about width. Im shorter guy so makes difference

I'm relearning my tre flips and I also noticed that the more vertical the board gets the better the rotation is.

Yes... I still haven't completed my tre flip ... I am actually working on what you're talking about...

I used to ride super tight trucks that tip is really helpfull
Oh I'm glad it helped !!!!
I've just subscribed! I like your videos ,they are very informative. cheers to you guys

Yeah I think most people somehow figured out without really understanding the trick... which confuse a lot of people
*scoop the tail

@@2FTSK8 Sweet! I’ll check it out
These tips were very helpful thank u so much
I'm glad it helps ... And thanks for watching!!
Great tutorial Ted!! Video quality is looking crisp!
Oh thanks Daniel!!!!
Can you do a how to pressure flip video for us old 90's guys... Maybe a wood vs everslick demo....thanks guys
Skating 39mm since 93'
Ted and I can't do them but we've got friends who can 😂😀
Ugh, I never liked the pressure era
Super easy.

Good luck
Board width is everything. It determines your foot placement
Super informative and helpful. Much appreciated this was put out there.
Thanks for making this video man I've been scooping wrong like you said. I always land too far on the nose.
yeah i had to fix it for very long time and just now im getting it correct like maybe every 5 tries

Amazing video man, this definitely deserves millions of views over the tens of hundreds simple just scoop the board tutorials out there. 🎉
Nice mention of Ronnie. Legendary for sure, met him twice and was the coolest dude ✊✊
Thank you very much, what do you mean when you say shoulder-width trucks, are you talking about a long or narrow wheelbase, thank you
Im becoming a Scientologist to improve this particular flip
Hmmmm idk if scientology would help skateboarding but let me know what you've discovered
Lmao amazing comment
Great video
I've never heard anyone mention board width either 🤔
I haven't tried treflip on different width of the board I been just skating size 8 for a while now so I can't tell
The wider thr board the slower the flip. I skate a 7.75 and if I try on a 8 it's alot harder
if yu can do toe push ups you can treflip
what is toe push up???
@@2FTSK8 i mean to say if you have strong toes especially big toes you have the micro muscles to flip the board. i noticed when trying to do it late in age again. my toes got tired.
@@williambo5989 oh I see... for me my ankle got really tired real quick and I can only try tre for like 30 times and can't do it anymore
Yea, another unmentioned little fact - not only the pop but that little back foot toe-flick with the ankle AFTER it pops. I always had trouble with that part of the technique
after a certain age you got to have those ups. almost levitating in the air hang time.
front hand going to hell in everytime he gives an example of how kick it.. hahaha
Yeah lol
I landed my first tre in 10 years today. I scooped towards the nose but instead of worrying about my front foot flicking, i made my scoop foot get the tre at its most vertical point then i just lift my front foot up and it flips and rotates better than i ever could before
That's 👍 great !!!!!
Зришь в корень! Спасибо бро, все по делу
what 'bout shoulders? I need to fix that 'cause my shoulders go into body varial
If can post somewhere and let me look !!

Thats could explain why fakie tre flip is much easy , because the scoop is backward.
Yes and our other video one fakie tre explains that
!!!
I landed it almost every time for a day and lost it
Why do you think you lost it?
Change your board......change your trucks.....wtf 😂
If your set up is no good ... Treflip would be 10 times harder... Seen people never make it cause they follow the trend n buy bigger boards
