How to Half cab flip! - Half Cab Flip Trick Tip
In this video, I break down one of my favorite tricks, the half cab flip (fakie 180 kickflip). This is a great trick to learn for beginners moving into intermediate level tricks. The most difficult part of this trick for beginners is rolling fakie (backwards). But once you get comfortable with that, if you know how to kickflip, this trick should come pretty easily!
I have broken this down into simple steps that will help you feel confident to go out and learn this new trick!

How to Grip a Skateboard deck
Просмотров 945 месяцев назад
In this video, I breakdown the process of gripping a new skateboard. I cover topics on differences between grip tape brands and hardware types. Walk through poking holes in the grip tape, adding the trucks and more. Gripping your own skateboard is such a huge part of learning to skate. I would say most skaters enjoy doing this because it is personal to everyone. I hope this helps and please sha...

I recently had a work trip to Dallas, Texas and I had seen videos of this gigantic skatepark that happened to be right near where I was staying! I had to bring. my board and check it out. My session started off a little slow, but by the end I couldn't believe what I was pushing myself to do. This park has everything you could imagine, ledges of all sizes, flatbars, multiple bowls, you name it! ...

    The secret to 360 flip is to keep your scoop foot long enough in the air so you can actually land it. My scoop foot ends up on the ground before the board. I just don’t jump high enough as to much energy goes into scoop. It’s hard.

      @@ConnorMcSkaten cheers mate, will try to commit 100%. I have a video to see what I am doing wrong and it looks like the board is doing its last bit of spin while my back foot is already on the ground. I thought if I scoop harder then the spin will be faster and I will have enough time to land it. I feel like I am definitely close and seeing I am making progress, motivates me.

      You have to really focus on pushing the board in a forward direction when you scoop. That’s why it’s important to have your back foot more on the corner of the tail. Hope that helps!

    Connor this is Hans from ASU. I don't know if you remember me. I left after my sophomore year in 2012. I got sober and back into skating in 2016 and this trick haunted me even in my middle school years and this was really helpful. i have the 270 flip tendency and I'm able to get more of a full 360 out of my scoop.I hope you're doing well. If we ever cross paths again i hope we can catch a session together.

      @@mylast949search for “Cristiano Ronaldo chop”. you approach the ledge at an angle and do a regular but boned ollie, once it’s boned in the air you will do a late motion (almost like you re trying to make a 4 with your legs/the Ronaldo chop) with your back foot so that the board will turn in bs tail position and lock itself in the ledge. Think about slamming the tail late on the ledge. First do a ollie and only then once up in the air you do this late slamming of the tail into the ledge. Trust me. The word “late” is the secret to this trick. It’s a trick in two parts: first you ollie and only then you turn in the air. Do not try already turning as you ollie. It looks like one fluid motion on videos but from the skaters perspective it’s a two part trick. Good luck.
