    I skated for 3+ years back in highschool....could never get tre flips down (only landed once) despite being able to varial and 360 shove with ease....I'm now 30 and got back into skating this summer, Im mastering this trick by end of the year!!!

    He didn't mention this but also remember to keep your weight on your back foot! if your board isn't going in front of you, its because your leaning too far forward. Just thought id mention that, its something that i figured out the other day! Hope it helps!

    I'm 36 years old and first stepped on a board when I was 8yrs. I say that to state that this was helpful to me right now. : ) Before the internet all you had was "skate videos" on VHS with people just killing it, or getting hurt. Nothing inbetween other than the best if you're lucky and the best kid at skating in your small town helps you out. LISTEN TO THESE GUYS! the fact that this channel exists is amazing. ----- YOU CAN DO IT! everything is possible you just need to understand the magic trick, before you can wow others.

  • @Apr0x1m0
    @Apr0x1m0 2 роки тому +12

    I found the channel "WhyTheTrick" recently and his technical driven breakdowns of tricks is amazing. He shows how the flip comes from the pressure buildup in the back bushings, as you can see clearly in Gigers' tre. But you can also clearly see in Andy's tre, and Mo's, that their flip comes from the tor flick. Its interesting how you can do the same trick with different motions.

    Chris Hiett inspired my to get a shaped Powell Peralta and I got shove it’s and gaps and grinds again but I saw your Braille Walmart board on sale and saw other reviews that it is a solid starter board and ordered one of those too! Your channel got me back into skateboarding at almost 40 years old after a 15 year retirement! Found this channel through Mogely!

      Can’t wait to try and learn 360 flips on my new Braille board! Almost got varial flips and 360 nollie shove it’s on my heavy Powell so I’m thinking the Braille popsicle board will make it a little easier to pull them off!

  • @dont4get2wipe
    @dont4get2wipe Рік тому +3

    One thing I feel is worth mentioning, an area I got hung up on for months: I had the power to scoop, was consistently landing the trick, but landing too far forward on my board or past the board. Eventually I noticed I was simply leaning too far forward - however, the difference between too far forward and "just right" seems to be like 0.0000001 degrees. Also, the reason I was leaning too far forward is because the setup position is so awkward with the back foot on the tail like that, that it seemed like if I didn't counterbalance forward, I would fall right off the back of the board. The margin of error for posture on this trick is insanely small. When I'm able to land them, I feel like I'm leaning WAY too far back, but it works. Hopefully this advice is helpful for anyone else with the same issue - try doing everything else the same as you've been doing it, but lean further back. For me to accomplish this, I had to start focusing on where my hands ended up when I crouched down - I like my front hand directly over the bolts, shoulder square with the board, and my back hand actually slightly in front of the board, my elbow hugging my knee. Ideally, each hand is the same distance from the ground - this is how you know your weight is balanced. If your front hand is closer to the ground then the back, it's because you're hunching forward. This naturally forces the weight right onto my back toes when I spring up, and forces me to "lean back" enough to allow the trick to happen. I think many pro skaters fail to recognize this part of the trick because their balance is so incredibly fine tuned that they take it for granted that the setup position for this trick is EXTREMELY unnatural and awkward.

    I first landed the 360° kickflip in '93 after trying them off a curb to get more airtime. There weren't many street skaters doing frontside pop shove-its back then, so I only got that trick recently. I've landed hundreds of 360° kickflips, but so far never landed a hardflip. When I mess up on the 360° kickflip it's almost always due to the board rotating only 270°. I think it's because of being old school and trying to pop the board more than trying to scoop it. I went about 25 years with very little skating after a knee injury on a messed up 360° kickflip. Now managing the knee and trying ollie late back foot kickflips and pressure flips.

    McNugg's front foot is just in the way of the skateboard. The skateboard touches his foot once and does the correct spin. He got it down to the point of doing the least of anything. That's the natural way of learning things.

    • @benwantstosk8
      @benwantstosk8 2 роки тому +1

      It's an old surfing term. If you turn with the wave in front of you, then that's frontside. When you move into street skateboarding, it mixes things up. On grinds and slides, if the rail is in front of you as you approach it, then that's frontside. But the words have different meanings when you are just doing a 180. If your foot that you normally pop ollies with goes forwards, then that's frontside. So on the street, frontside and backside have different meanings depending on whether you're doing a grind. But if you go to a quarterpipe, then the two meanings come back together and just mean one thing all the time.

    • @brailleskateboarding
      @brailleskateboarding  2 роки тому +1

      On a rail its about the ride up. If your riding up to the obstacle and its on you backside its backside. If its on your frontside its frontside

    @indeedisbigquestionable7222 Рік тому +1

    Just landed on the board for the first time today! I don’t know what happened, but for whatever reason I all of a sudden found that the motion of a tre flip clicked. I still can’t kickflip, but I’ve been working on pop shuvs for a while now and decided that varial flips seemed a bit more achieveable. After trying to varial, I realized if I just did a little harder of a scoop, I could get the board to go the full 360. Main problem now is that it’s hard to get the board to fully do the flip rotation (probably due to my lack of kickflip), but this just proves that sometimes certain tricks will feel better than others even if they seem harder!

    I have to say I disagree that you “need” to learn how to varial flip before leaning how to tre flip because in a varial flip you definitely use your front foot to flip the board where as with a tre it’s all in the back foot also, you catch a varial flip differently to how you catch a tre flip. I would say learning how to do a kick flip, pop shuv and learning how to catch a pop shuv really high and with your front foot will help way more than learning to varial flip. Great tutorial tho 👍

    I have been skating for quite a long time, but I've never really been able to do much. I think my problem IS that I've been skating such a long time, but in the wrong way. By that I mean it seems I practiced doing tricks the wrong way (where I can't land it) so many times that my muscle memory is trained for doing them that way and now I can't break that habit to build my muscle memory right and be able to progress again. It actually helped when I stopped skating for a couple years and then got back into it because I think I unlearned the wrong techniques and was able to relearn them properly. But now the same problem is happening again. I don't want to stop skating. What do I do?

    The "simply bend your back knee" Is easier said than done.. I treflip perfectly when I'm stepping down on the ground with my back foot. But if I try to land with both feet I ether don't get the full flip or the full 360 rotation...
    It's so frustrating because I was able to land at least one treflip a day for a month, and since then I landed maybe 2 in like 6 month.. It's like I'm going backwards with my progress..

    I have varial flips down for the most part but can't seem to get the scoop right for the 360 flip. I kinda think it's foot position but now that I see each one of you guys use a different foot position I'm stumped.

      All of them have toes hanging off the board(how much depends on comfort). The only difference is how far away from the tail is the foot. The closer foot placement towards the tail is gonna cause it to pop more and flip slower. Closer to the side of the tail allows you to scoop easier and flip easier but less pop. The front foot placement also will affect how the board flips before the flick. Weight towards the back edge will cause it to not flip as much and weight in the center or past the center on the right will increase how much the back foot causes it to flip.
      Chris keeps his front foot in the center and his back foot towards the tail and edge. This allows his back foot to do all the work, similar to a pressure flip and the board flips/spins because his front foot doesn't impede the board flipping naturally.
      The others have their front foot in a position closer to a kickflip with their weight in the center and towards their back. This means they have to do a little flick to complete the rotation.

    Learning the backside disasters right now. I'm so old, it's hard to turn my shoulders to 180 degrees on any trick now. So everything that spins, gets harder!
