indeed is one of the most satisfying landing this trick. Talking about being underrated, there was even a time when this trick was hated on and I never understood why, its a very stylish trick if executed following Jonny's instructions.
Because most people do them badly, or because they cant control their kickflip so they learn bad varials. Nearly every trick can be done well. Youll see good skaters get hyped on basic tricks or weird tricks, just because of how you made it look. Do whats fun, fuck the haters!
Because tre flips and backside flips are only a bit harder. Once you learn those you stop doing varials. They good to have in a game of skate though most ppl don't do them very much.
When I was younger, in I think 2002-2003, I remember it had taken me 2 years of practicing every day to land my first good kickflip. Idk why but it was extra hard for me to learn it. Then the next day, when I was showing off to my friend that I could land kickflips, he told me to try a varial flip. I didn't even really know what a varial flip was but I tried it and landed it 2nd try. Literally 2 years to kickflip and 2 tries to varial flip. Thank you for reading my blogpost.
Kickflips are harder to learn than varial kickflips are. Since you learned the kickflip first you had the flip technique down so all you had to do from there was pop the tail like a pop shove it instead of an ollie.
@@owenguerrero8992 yeah I also could do varial flip before kickflip... so should be a good sign ;-) try varial flip body varial, so you have a backside flip.
I'm new at skateboarding and currentily I'm in the process of learning ollies and pop shove its. I can't wait to start trying out kickflips and even varial flips. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I love your content Jonny, all the vids you do help so much and watching you do all these crazy tricks is amazing! Keep killing it! Abraços, do Brasil.
Thanks for the tutorial Jonny! Against the popular opinion I think varial flips look pretty sick!🔥 Will try them next session altho my front shoves are way stronger than my back shoves...
I really appreciate the heck out of you posting these. I started skating last month and hit my first moving ollie the other day at 30 years old. I’m wanting to continue my journey and seeing tutorials like this makes it much easier for me to learn and move forward. Thanks a ton and keep it up!
I learnt mine by doing Pop and flick only, i pop-shuvit through the toe-side edge of the tail so that the boards heel-side edge rolls up and i flick with my front foot to flip the board. Popping through the toe side edge helps get the heel side edge up and easier to flick for many flip tricks. I used this method to learn perfect switch varials a couple of weeks ago, and got a minor fracture in my switch flick foot on the same day.
I never had problems with this trick before and ive stopped skating few times and everytime i come back this is the trick i have most problems with thanks for tutorial
You and your board are also going to move/land 6 to 8 inches to the left or right of you depending on on stance. That helped me learned pop shoves. Know your gonna go a little left to right. Anyways great tips thanks. Love varial flips
Thank you so much for all your instructional videos. I'm 34 and just started skating with my son about 6 months ago and your videos have helped phenomenally.
I haven't even learned the Ollie yet, but I just find his skating so good that I'll watch tutorials for tricks that I'll probably not even try for another few months.
Landed my first varial flips today I'm sooo happy didn't watch this tutorial for it but wanted to refresh myself with the trick so I keep in my head until the next sesh can't wait to skate again knowing I can do these now
Style of video is great. Lots of slo mo footage, you can really see what oeg is doing what. I just wish I had access to this kind of info 20 y ago when I was starting up as a teen
Hey.. 20 years ago it was a normal trick… but nobody’s did it, after they unlocked treflips…. A nice varial flip bs revert, looks nice ^^. Most dudes do tres, but in my opinion tres are easier than varial flips…. I also Never did them since I unlocked tre flips.. but I had a break for 10 years. Startet 2 month ago, broke my arm after three weaks;) and now I will learn every trick i like..
It's very funny, i never got to land a kick flip but varial flips were very natural to me. And when i tried to do a kick flip a varial would vome out instead. I don't skate anymore though.
Johnny Vinnie I learned these before kick flips but I heel flipping before that Ever get around to trying the hook impossible sex change keep up the good work!!!!
After 3yrs of skating I finally landed my first varial. Still can’t kickflip but I have all the basic shoves down so varials came a little easier than kickflips.
I landed my first varial The day after i landed The first kickflip an at that time i had only landed two or three kickflips. For me varial flips feel more naturial than kickflips, because you kick straight forwards instead of a little backwards.
man... i have skated from 13 to 19 now i am 37 and all those videos about skating are poping up.... tried it this summer. took me a while but still got some tricks down after almost 20 years kick heel, pop shov it, nolli pressure flip. my ollie is shit tho! but fuck me everything hurt the next day and i work out 5 days a week consistently!! completely different kind of stress on the muscle! i miss it so much! but the injury potential is so high! not sure if it is worth it.
i struggle to stay over the board, but that tip about really leaning on that front edge sounds like the key. But id love to learn how to do these kinda tricks like pros, where the board doesnt move off your centre but stays right under you. Thanks Jonny!
Hey Johny, would you like to learn a spacewalk? A classical trick with very interesting mechanics. I have been trying to learn it for some time. It's super hard but interesting at the same time. Would be so cool to see your journey with it. Love your videos, peace.
For me it was heelflips and variall flip before kickflips. I pop just like a pop shove. And flick my front foot straighter than a kickflip. And not very hard. Although if I'm standing still I need to pop and flick harder than I would if I was rolling
Chabón me puse a practicar varial kickflip hace una semana y aparece este genio de los genios con un videito! ..parece que hubiera dicho -voy a subir un video explicando esta pavada a ver si a este boludo le sale XD
Idk y, but when i try to do a varial flip, my board just flys behind me and slightly to the right, but then again, im not tht good at pop shuvits, im way better at front shuvits, so when i attempt a varial heelflip, it just works very well, i have landed a few, but now i think im in a rut and im just overcomplicating it, but back to the varial flip, so ig i just need to get better at pop shuvs
Für zukünftige Tutorials wäre es vielleicht cool deine Reichweite zu nutzen und Fans oder Freunde zu fragen, welche Probleme sie beim lernen eines Tricks hatten - um die typischsten Sachen dann mit ins Tutorial aufzunehmen und darauf einzugehen. Quasi der "Trouble Shooting" Teil der Anleitung :D

Cool video. I still curious about what kinda trucks those are that you're riding
i’m convinced ur not a real person but just a skate 3 character with extremely realistic graphics

i cant do kickflip and i skate for like 8 months with a 1 year gap after 4 months but i did varial flip after 5 tries i swear
@@daffyduckling6958 yep exactly
I litteraly searched for a tutorial while I'm trying the trick and this was just uploaded. Must be my lucky day
important is shuvit and kickflip. and of course, trust your board. funny, it was my first trick... on 6 month skating.
try flip like u'r doing a kickflip
@@kjdacod i don’t know how to kickflip but i can varial
@@owenguerrero8992 yeah I also could do varial flip before kickflip... so should be a good sign ;-) try varial flip body varial, so you have a backside flip.
"primo is always a possibility" _railflips out_ 😎
Just from the first few seconds you immediately realize that this tutorial is tremendously helpful.
Thanks Jonny, love this style!
I haven't skated in around 10 years now and I am getting my first board since then next month so this is a nice refresher course
I had a 6 year break, now 45.
Great to hear you're back 😊🙏
@@larryjimbob That's awesome man - keep skating. Its sad seeing talented skaters drop off after their mid 20s to never skate again.
@@ricethelizard7713 I wouldn't say that I'm talented but I'm still going..... somehow? 🤔😁
@@larryjimbob you can push and came back to it after 6 years - thats talented enough

I love varial flips I don’t care what they say. I have a strong pop shuv and I’m trying this trick now

men... you've done more for skateboarding than most people out there with huge resources and stuff, thanks for your work!
Dude, your varial flip is so good that looks like a nigthmare, keep it up legend, your making history
One of the most stylish varial flips I've ever seen.
I learnt mine by doing Pop and flick only, i pop-shuvit through the toe-side edge of the tail so that the boards heel-side edge rolls up and i flick with my front foot to flip the board.
Popping through the toe side edge helps get the heel side edge up and easier to flick for many flip tricks. I used this method to learn perfect switch varials a couple of weeks ago, and got a minor fracture in my switch flick foot on the same day.
Skateboarding is difficult! That explains a lot!
Really great tutorial. Love the arrows, there’s always confusion when saying ‘lean forward’ etc
Just landed my first varial flip today, thanks:")
thank you for this. currently learning v flips
I really like your instructional videos, you are super thorough in your explanations.

Thank you so much for all your instructional videos. I'm 34 and just started skating with my son about 6 months ago and your videos have helped phenomenally.
The most recent trick I have learned is this, but starting from rail, hopefully I can learn a proper varial soon
This video helped me finally land this trick. Thank you!
the first "trick flip" that i land was a varial flip. 15 years ago it was very easy to land it for me compare to kickflips
This was actually helpful. The leaning thing really help and I just landed my first varial an hr after watching the vid
jonny Giger, the only man hyped to land primo on his flip tricks ;)
For every other skater on earth, landing primo is DEATH!
For Jonny, it's like "well, yeah, that's always an option..." 6:12
This tutorial was absolutely amazing
best skating channel i love it
I haven't even learned the Ollie yet, but I just find his skating so good that I'll watch tutorials for tricks that I'll probably not even try for another few months.
I can pop shuv higher than my ollie bcuz of your other tips. My varials bouta be on point now too lol I can do em, just not every time yet. Good vid
it would have been soooo great having your vids 25 years ago! thank you
duuuude your v flips are so proper
I've been waiting for this video! Thanks for the tutorial :)

This video came at the perfect time, I am still trying to figure out how to level out my ollies properly

Not first! But... LOVE your vids @Jonny Giger!!!!
Thank you for what you're doing for the skating community.
Dang that's so clean
After 3yrs of skating I finally landed my first varial. Still can’t kickflip but I have all the basic shoves down so varials came a little easier than kickflips.
I could never tray but had these down! Nice vid dude.
I like varial flip very helpful to learn 360 Flip good trick in game of skate
nice execution, great explanation
I use to be able to varial flip better than I could kickflip.
Kickflips were my kryptonite.
I loved doing kickflips. I used to be able to pop a triple/quad and it would look like I am gliding through the air (in slow mo ofc)
i'm going to learn to do this before the ollie
Out for 7 more weeks after getting back on after ten years wont be long but missing it already (radial head fracture)
I landed my first varial The day after i landed The first kickflip an at that time i had only landed two or three kickflips.
For me varial flips feel more naturial than kickflips, because you kick straight forwards instead of a little backwards.
man... i have skated from 13 to 19 now i am 37 and all those videos about skating are poping up....
tried it this summer.
took me a while but still got some tricks down after almost 20 years kick heel, pop shov it, nolli pressure flip. my ollie is shit tho!
but fuck me everything hurt the next day and i work out 5 days a week consistently!!
completely different kind of stress on the muscle! i miss it so much! but the injury potential is so high! not sure if it is worth it.

Yes. If your board is moving away from you when you're performing pretty much any trick. Try leaning harder in that same direction
@@hitmanhatton Full send and commit! Lol if landing New tricks didn't feel so dodge, that would be easy.
@@Apr0x1m0 you're right. It's easier said than done.
Thanks jonny im going to learn it switch
🔥 this is difficult 😕
Hey Johny, would you like to learn a spacewalk? A classical trick with very interesting mechanics. I have been trying to learn it for some time. It's super hard but interesting at the same time. Would be so cool to see your journey with it. Love your videos, peace.
Good vid Johnny I Ben struggling wit varial and kick flips I can heal flip but I always land my front foot just of the side when I do varial 😡🤬
Love this tutorial, we need more😜😜😜😜
Ever since I learned tre flips I can’t do these anymore sadly but still a cool trick gana try and re learn them but ever since tre there impossible!!!
I would like to see even more force vector arrows. Maybe someone can help making a 3d gizmo that u can use in your editing software
Please do a feather flip tutorial
Hey Jonny- do u have any advice if your front foot keeps blocking the board from finishing the varial flip?
Haha I was doing these earlier today. Then see this✌️✌️
@telegram me on 👉@jonnygiger22 😂😂👀👀
For me it was heelflips and variall flip before kickflips. I pop just like a pop shove. And flick my front foot straighter than a kickflip. And not very hard. Although if I'm standing still I need to pop and flick harder than I would if I was rolling

This and heelflip were the only flips I ever mastered. Sigh. Much nostalgia.
(never learned to kickflip)
Aloha Jonny, coould you please do an Airwalk Tutorial? Thank ya uwu
I could never kick flip all that well, but I was pretty good at varial flips. Fun trick to do.
Wow, I sound old.
some of my friends feel extremely hard to learn kickflip, but they learnt varial kickflip very quickly😂
Idk y, but when i try to do a varial flip, my board just flys behind me and slightly to the right, but then again, im not tht good at pop shuvits, im way better at front shuvits, so when i attempt a varial heelflip, it just works very well, i have landed a few, but now i think im in a rut and im just overcomplicating it, but back to the varial flip, so ig i just need to get better at pop shuvs
I see you've switched from Krux to Aces. That's a huge change. Can you do a new board setup video?
ive done one sometime ago, its called why i carry 7 boards in my trunk 😁
sehr sehr gutes tutorial! danke herr geiger :)

I’ve only been skating for 6 months and landed this before my first kick flip
Merci
hey what's your opinion of Ricci Tres?
You make that look goooooood!
Peace to DougDaus
Varials are easier than regular kickflips because most people know how to shuv it before kickflip
This was a great tutorial video. Very well broken down with good information/instruction 👍
More tutorials to come Jonny? 😊🙏
A good trick for skate for sure even though it's a beginner trick lol
I’m really close, but the board keeps hitting my front foot while rotating
Hey man i love to skate . i would love if you would send me 1 of your set ups i would greatly appreciate it lmk?
Nicest trick on earth
I like
A high, clean varial that flips under you is infinitely better than a sloppy tre flip.
after learning 360 flips my problem is not doing 270 flips while trying varial flips
So a Varial Kickflip is BS Shuv and Varial Heelflip is FS Shuv?
And then Hardflip is FS shuv and Inward Heel is BS Shuv?
Yess
