I just land the backside flip a few days ago for the first time and I want to say that all the explanations in the video are perfect, but I want to add some tips for beginners like me:
- Start by mastering the kickflip perfectly. On 5 trys you must be able to land it at least 3 times.
- When you turn your shoulders, try to put a little more weight on the front shoulder who starts the rotation (left for regulars and right for goofys). So that you are leaning slightly towards the front of your board.
- Focus more on the rotation rather than the kickflip, because it’s exactly the same movement as a normal kickflip.
And most importantly, start the rotation BEFORE the kickflip.
Sorry if my english is weird, I’m not American or English!

English was great! Very helpful comment thanks man!

[@thanhson7261]

It's so informative, thank you for writing all those tips for a beginner like me

[@MarkSven888]

I like your channel. I am 36 and just getting back to skating after almost 20years

[@SkateSage]

Welcome back! 👊🏻

Yeah Mark!

[@simonw3145]

Thanks for the tips. Great video!

thank you!!!

I tend to do mine with a bit more rotation in the back foot. I pop them pretty much exactly the same as my back 180s. However I tend to use the tension in my toeside pocket to get most of the rotation with my back 180s. When I backside flip It probably dosnt look like im poping them the same way because the board flips more vertical but I still use the same technique. Im still getting better at them so will defintely try taking your advice.

i can land a bunch at about 160* in a row but can't get it to 180 yet. its a struggle

[@lubednoodle]

i can kickflip and back 180 good i just can’t seem to land this trick. i can get one every now and then but it’s been a long time of me trying to learn it and i just can’t so i’m going back and watching a lot of videos of other people doing them

[@AlexAlex-sj4bc]

i had trouble learning back 180 then i tried backside flip and it was easier than back 180 to me but i just learned regular back 180 but this is a really great video for people that want to learn backside flip

[@SkateSage]

Yeah, I’ve experienced that sometimes adding a flip can make a trick work better for me too

[@PHeMoX]

This trick looks like so much fun! I wish I had kickflips, because so far I'm only getting varial kickflips. It's weird, but it is so much easier to flick up with a varial kickflip for me. A kickflip feels like I'm doing a late flick forward I can't land or flick down. I think it is something timing related, because with varial kickflip you can just start everything at once, but either I don't do exactly that with kickflips or the timing is different (ollie first, flick later?).

[@SkateSage]

I think that’s kind of how my switch kickflips are. You could learn that way but it’ll make some future tricks harder!

[@dsteringa1599]

Not sure why but to me this is easier than a normal back 180...

[@yahyeet4875]

I learned to bs flip before I even learned how to bs 180… I still can bs 180 tho

[@reksa4849]

I can't do it 😭

[@SkateSage]

Don’t give up!
