Some quick tips i wrote down watching this video idk it might click for someone so i share them -Keep your weight and shoulders straight Dont lean forward -Keep your foot angled not flat -(Trick tip dont try to change everything your body does, adjust to what you do naturaly) If you can do it one time you can do it as many times -Pop straight down(make contact) -Pop vertical -Find what works for you -Bring your knees up (try to jump higher to give it more airtime)
Its 100% the jump, your scoop is fire, ur flick is fire, your setup and stance are fire, its literally just that u dont put enough into your jump, and by jump i dont even necessarily mean "jump", i mean u dont bring ur knees up high enough and keep them there, its a hard habit to break and it feels uncomfortable when u first do it, but after a while it becomes natural muscle memory. I used to have that problem with kickflips
9 times out of 10 he under rotates the tre flip. You do not need to jump super high to tre flip. Maurios are high and poppy but not everyone does them like that. It’s more a problem with his scoop.
It's not that your back is weak, it's because you lack hip flexibility and because of that you have to lean over your board to compensate for it. If you'd stretch and work on your vertical you'd be golden. Honestly at this point I'd just tell you to stick to hips and euro gaps. Everyone you landed they all were barely 3 inches off the ground. Cheers to another year of doing the same thing hoping for a different result.
you're not jumping high enough!! tres aren't about power they're about finesse, you're focusing too much on putting oomf into your scoop, and it's taking away from your vertical height. when you scoop you should be on your way up of the ground, this makes the scoop "scrape" across the ground much easier and the board will rotate 360 with much less power. to be clear: when you scoop you should be on your way up off the ground, not just on your way up from bending you legs. scoop when you're waitless from your upward momentum NOT when your still basically on the ground. what it'll feel like is keeping your back foot hanging around for a while scooping while the rest of your body is going upward into the air

You young kids ! It's not a tre flip!!!! Why rename a legendary trick! It's a 360 kickflip !!!! Arrggh ! I'm 48 ....skated since 1986... when jason lee or matt hensley did them we never said TRE FLIP!
Chill dude I’m 38 and I tried so hard to keep from saying Tre flip, eventually I heard it so damn much I’d catch myself saying it and now I rarely say 360 flip
Bro honestly you got em. Two things I’d suggest though. 1. Don’t be afraid, you want it really bad so it gives u a slight hesitation, your thinking too hard just imagine you doing it, then try simple. 2. You don’t have to do this but it will help skate with leg weights on & do 1 - 2 mins a day of jump roping ( I use to think I really sucked, & actually I wasn’t clearing the board, now I do buttery ass 3flps & Hardflips
Taking skating and health seriously when I was younger was my downfall. I did Muay Thai for six years(29-35) and now, I'm learning and landing tricks I never did or even tried. It's all about physicality too. Not that anyone a certain size can't skate at all. But gravity and physicality play a big role in big tricks like 3flips or even just a simple high ollie.
I think it's not a proper squat (your bending with your back and end up compensating forward to not fall) so it makes jumping inefficient and tense. It's kinda what Maurio was alluding too when he suggested to load straight down and stay on top of it. Also, check out what muscles do what, the glutes, hip flexors and core are super important, If everything goes into the quads and hamstrings too much it can make you too tense to have fine control of the board.
At a certain point, no amount of instruction will help you, you have to figure out your own body and how to manipulate it properly internally. Fundamentally it's just being able to combine the proper scoop WITH the proper jump. It's one thing to know what to do, it's another thing to actually get your body to do what you know needs to be done.
its true, but ngl Maurio and other pros are truly gifted. like a gift from the gods. you can teach fundamentals but you can't teach someone to rip a tre flip down a 12 stair
@@ConcernedMother Well that's not correct either. Repetition and thinking are both equally necessary. You can repeat the same thing a million times and never learn a trick if you're not thinking about it and analyzing what you're doing wrong, but it's not necessarily a verbally transferrable line of thinking, it's an internal comprehension of the actual way your brain is telling your muscles to move, how, and when.
@@justinmusicandskateboardin9282there is over thinking it which is exactly what he’s doing. Not thinking about it could very much work. Instead of just focusing on a tre flip it could help just doing rando lines and just throwing it in randomly. He’s talking too much, asking too many questions, comparing differ t pros style, etc…. It’s actually hurting him.
tighten them trucks a bit, so you don't have to focus so much on balancing. also try to over spin them consistently. just want you to scoop it quicker. one thing that is hard with tre flips is your shoulders want to turn because you scoop. i feel like you have to be light on your back foot until youre actually about to pop. tre flips dont need a hard flick to flip, 90% scoop 10% flick so your front foot can be a bit more in the middle of your board for balance.
for tre flips i don’t even think about flicking. i just think about scooping, jumping, & extending my front foot to catch the tre. not anything crazy but catching with ur front foot stops the rotation and makes it easier to land/catch. it’ll give it that extra like half of a flip & ur back foot will do the other half flip/360 shuv. also keeping most of ur weight on ur back foot & staying over the board helps like he said. i find sometimes too if i’m not getting the rotation hanging my back toes off more makes it way easier to scoop & get the full 360 faster
So I think I found out something that would help you. Try some with your front foot more in the center of the board. Like between the bolts. When you have it so far back, it makes balancing harder and also kind of dampens the pop. Also try to stay as stable as you can before you pop. That little last minute foot squiggle seems like it’s half of your issue. I come to Smithfield sometimes if you ever want to catch a session.
you’re not jumping high enough and you’re not committing when you do jump high enough ; you just gotta send that shit and fully trust that your feet did the right motions and eventually you can expect and anticipate the landing without bailing 💪
Only once I did a regular treflip in my 24 years of skating. That was over our huge local skatepark pyramid. They just seem to work better for me in different stances.
So something I've noticed with me personally. I can tre flip really well until I setup an 8.5. I think most 8.5 boards have a wheel base to long for me and I find them very difficult to adapt to for flip tricks even tho they feel nice to ride. Maybe try a friends smaller setup. keep the bigger trucks for stability
I thought you made an extra effort every time! At least you’re out there brother and not sitting there playing a Tony Hawk video wishing you could do it! I really appreciate what you’re doing! Take it easy! 😎
I think confidence and self belief is playing a big factor. Maybe the pressure of the 10 day challenge has you in your head Joe. Valid and understandable. You rip Bro! Believe that you’ve got it! Fuck the yips! Looking fwd to continue watching you have more fun on the board. That’s what it’s about at the end of the day. I’d encourage you to get back in touch with the reasons why you started skating in the first place. Best to you man! Thanks for the videos 💪
I'd add that you're not timing your pop very well. This is a very popular issue with trey flips You have your foot positioned quite well for a scooping pop, but then at the last moment you're not actually scooping. You're doing more like a flat pop, that is why it doesn't do a full flip The secret is getting the board to pop with its edge. You accomplish that by adding tension to the board with your stance, better timing AND jumping higher at the moment of pop
It's funny how you get down on yourself cause you wanna do them like Maurio when I can't do them at all and would love to be able to do them like you do. Yours still might not be as high and floaty as Maurio but they still look cool to me.
Been keeping up with joes tre flip but I did notice that’s he’s more worrying about style than the actual trick. Like he mentioned in this video he said he donkey kicks it but if that’s natural to do then do as it is. Worry about style later as you improve.
Still working on mine too! Just got a symmetrical heroin egg board and it has twin tails at 5.5 inches with a 14 inch wheelbase so it’s a tiny board but with a 8.75 width so I hope the length helps with rotation and I can keep my wide riding surface to land on
stop overthinking! bend at the knees and snap that tre around...don't think before you pop cause thats what makes you adjust your feet, your set up is good but you need to snap with your ankle and not try to muscle it with your back leg. i like to put pressure more on my front foot and transfer to my back right before i pop. or just keep doing what you're doing and focus on sucking your knees
You’ll probably ignore my comment like all the other tre flip vids you’ve done, but this is genuine constructive feedback. Square your shoulders. You keep opening your shoulders and either missing the tre, or landing crooked and having to tic tac to straighten it out.
Yes. More so than you. You even said that he told you to keep your shoulders from opening, or closing in the beginning of the video. Check out Robert Neal’s tre flip tutorial where him and his homie talk about this exact point.
ill be the first to say that I'm not the biggest fan of all your videos, but i respect your hustle. That being said i chime in from time to time and i think all the fat comments are bullshit Joe. F*** em man. i actually made a video about fat people skating (because i am fat myself haha) i doubt you will, but if you wanna give a watch there might be something in there for you. I really don't see the point in leaving hateful comment's
Stop worrying about the content, put the camera down and stop putting pressure on yourself. Do you really want to land tre’s or do you need to because you need content? This is one of the wrong things going on in skateboarding today.
I must have missed this one when it was uploaded but the tre flips after the ”lift your back heel up” comment really looked a ton better IMMEDIATELY. Also definitely leaning over the board more than Maurio who is bending down more straight. Good vid and definitely learned a bit myself.
pro tip, after scooping and jumping lean forward in the air and pretend you are going to jump in front of your nose, that way you land on top instead of back foot coming off behind your tail and your back foot lands on the bolts. this leaning forward (dipping your front shoulder) also stops you from shooting out backward (mr willy)
Work on proper squatting form off of your board. Keep your head and shoulders over the board. You hinge forward at the hips, bending over (instead of squatting down) and your head and shoulder weight pulls you toe side off of the board. Learn proper squat technique and you can fix that!
I have similiar problems with my tres and I am pretty shure it's mostly due to being overweight. Jumping is so much harder, you're getting out of breath sooner and there is much more stress on the joints. Also the fact I ride boards in the range of 9-10.75 inches. Additional weight...
For me treflips are hard with the front foot too far back. I prefer my front foot to be closer to the front bolts. Joe does a hop before the trick moving his front foot towards the back almost behind the center of the board. Tough to balance. IMO
base on the video, joe i think your leaning forward on the last second before you pop and aming for like a pop shuv motion which throw of your balance mid air, you can see at tre #9 that you didn't flow with that motion and actually landed a clean one. because the way mario does his is just jumping up and let the momentum pulls him forward for the catch. i know it's different for all of us but hope this helps, skate safe brother!🤙
Hey Local Joe, I've been watching your treflip videos and I noticed a couple of things that stood out to me: 1. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from watching your treflips, it looks like you're using more of a knee-bend to generate that rotational power. That is, you're kicking your calf behind you to try to generate that 360 degree rotation. In my opinion (and personal experience), the rotational power of the treflip doesn't come primarily from that knee-bend (calf kicking); but rather, it comes from the flicking of the ankle. For example, check out Nyjah Huston's treflip here: ruclips.net/video/yyI_QzVNsCM/видео.htmlsi=wkNgGOw9dr3e1HKB Look at how little his back leg bends at the knee. His entire back leg is almost stiff straight. He barely kicks out his calf. But then look at his back ankle - you'll see that it's flicked out almost the way. That's because all of that rotation power is coming from his back ankle flicking. Of course, not all pros have a stiff back leg (e.g. Mark Appleyard, Rodney Mullen), but I'm willing to bet that all of them generate most of the rotational power from that ankle flick. 2. I noticed that you have a tendency to not pop your treflips - I get the impression that you're sort of rushing the motion of the backfoot. It's like you're a bit too concerned with the rotation, and not the pop. Sometimes, you press down on the tail halfway, but then immediately start trying to rotate the board even before the tail touches the ground. I think you need to slow down the motion of your backfoot, even by just a few milliseconds. It might not seem like much, but I can assure that it could potentially make all the difference. I think you should deliberately think about getting that tail to touch the ground first, and only after then, think about doing the rotation. Consider popping and rotating as 2 distinct steps that happen sequentially one after the other, and not as 1 blended motion.
Idk if u are, but I would work on my body, make your legs stronger, jump rope. Just like jockeys it’s better if we stay lean and strong. And like I said, If u already are working out or eating better, it’s just a matter of time. That’s a good video, “does getting in better shape help w skateboarding”?
lol local Joe was like, “I have really bad Tre flips can you help me?” But then he lands a perfect one second try and then Maurio was like, “Bruh, what do I help you with?”
Start doing them over stuff like decks, and keep raising the bar, and then you'll be popping them up to clear with less effort. If you can clear a deck on its side then you can benchmark your pop.
Great vid! Love seeing the content. Personally I don't think you have to jump that high for a Tre flip. I think you're getting it but maybe all the adjusting is throwing you off. Maybe do 3-5 that you just land, then do 2 that you try to style? When I learned Tre flip for a while I just took the ones I could get, after I felt comfortable landing them I started to adjust my feet for more pop, and style. I also think a Tre flip requires some flick. If you watch videos of people doing them you can see the front foot stabilizes the board and when they pop it's into the front foot like it helps balance. At 6:16 when Maurio does a Tre flip you can see he is centered, then when he pops he flicks a little and transitions his weight towards his front foot.
Yeah man what’s missed in a lot of these comments is the fact that you can do a tre flip several ways. When I was young I learned tre flips with quite a bit of flick and did not do the whole monkey grip thing with the back foot. Now I do them primarily with the back and basically no flick. You definitely do not need to jump or pop high to do it. A lot of commenters don’t skate!
I think that you don’t believe that you can do a tre flip the straight up way like he’s trying to teach you. You have a mental block that’s subconsciously telling your body to do that leaning wind up tre flip motion that causes you to jump forward and at an angle.
front foot is way too far back (which is why he tic-tacs) and you can see joe stops lifting his heel whenever he under-rotates the scoop. fix those and lift the legs up more n he’ll have buttery tre’s on lock.
POP is not BODY HEIGHT. it’s not the trick technique it’s lack of body to board height. the grunting! 😂 don’t forget to stay light & floaty. throw your arms to jump in a slow floaty motion. & If you don’t breath correctly & relax you cannot jump as easily. most of what screws up tre flips is not getting up and off of the board to let it flip.
So true I find no one talks about controlling your breath in skateboarding. When you hold your breath you tense up and lose power, when I exhale as I pop my tricks seem to work better.
Dude youre awesome and i have a lot of respect for you but if you want high threes you gotta lose some weight. Its making it so much harder for you. And stop comparing your success to others compare it against yourself. You do so well and you tend to put yourself down in front of the guests you have on. You earned where you got to with tons of work. Have respect for that.
your feet are too close together. your front foot is on the board for too long, therefore it initiates kickflip rotation while preventing kickflip rotation if that makes sense. See how Maurios feet are further apart giving him much more stability and control.
Just an athletic problem, need to loose weight and get more coordination from repetition - can’t worry about how it looks until you start landing them comfortably
Interesting comments regarding the size as these shoes really inside raw inside meaning there is much more space for feet so taking one size down can event fit better. We could also hear how materials squeak like no other shoes
IF you believe in your heart that Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord then you Will Be Saved
everytime you land it its not beacuse that little move you do its because you put your hole wheight on the front foot. The key is that you have to stay balance on your front foot yhe one that flicks.
Joe, as someone much older and heavier than you. I relate to the tre flip struggle. On lock one day, and then can’t buy one the next. Mario was right about you upper body position. For me it’s arms. If you’re too focused on what legs and feet are doing. Then your upper body does odd movements that’s throw you off. For me sometimes I have to hold my arms out Karate Kid style before I pop. It probably looks dumb, but it makes me aware of where they are. And keeps them from flailing around. Then I start landing tres with consistency. I hope this helps.
You just gotta tighten your trucks so you arent carving so much before your pop...rear toes in pocket and front a few inches below bolts...in a kickflip position flick like you would a gentle kickflip
The crouching has to do with hip mobility. I struggle keeping my posture upright when i squat too. If you hit some yoga classes i think you will be doing 5 for 5!
It’s him.. he’s grunting and trying so hard it’s messing him up.. I wish he would try to relax a bit more and not be so tense and worried about every little “hack or cheat” and just crouch down and just send it. I feel like when you get so in your head and try analyzing every little thing you lose your ability to do the damn thing.
Your 9th and 10th tre flips were solid. If Maurio says it’s good, it’s good. You need to learn how to be more satisfied with your results, or it’s going to be even more difficult to reach your goal. It’s a mental game first and foremost.
Am I the only one to think he's not jumping high enough?
We've been telling him that for months. He's more concerned about finding cheats to get around his lack of vertical height.
maurio told him he's not jumping high enough towards the end
Not explosive enough
I don't even think it's about not being explosive. He literally doesn't know how to suck his knees up to his chest to create the space needed.
Could be fatigue. I get about 10 good attempts at a tre or varial heelflip before my hip flexors are roasted and can barelly lift by back leg 5 inches
“If you got one in you, you got as many”. Dude, i love the Maurio wisdom in these vids!
Maurio seems like such a nice dude and his style is insanely good.
He’s one of my favorite skaters for sure.

Still working on mine too! Just got a symmetrical heroin egg board and it has twin tails at 5.5 inches with a 14 inch wheelbase so it’s a tiny board but with a 8.75 width so I hope the length helps with rotation and I can keep my wide riding surface to land on
P-Rod said big scoop little pop
I was looking forward to this one; so stoked to try tre flips again soon. :D
I'm just as neurotic as you local joe haha. I can totally relate to all the times you criticize yourself.
Some hours at the gym wouls help
Just started this week I’m on day 4
stop overthinking! bend at the knees and snap that tre around...don't think before you pop cause thats what makes you adjust your feet, your set up is good but you need to snap with your ankle and not try to muscle it with your back leg. i like to put pressure more on my front foot and transfer to my back right before i pop. or just keep doing what you're doing and focus on sucking your knees
You’ll probably ignore my comment like all the other tre flip vids you’ve done, but this is genuine constructive feedback. Square your shoulders. You keep opening your shoulders and either missing the tre, or landing crooked and having to tic tac to straighten it out.
Does maurio square his shoulders?
Yes. More so than you. You even said that he told you to keep your shoulders from opening, or closing in the beginning of the video. Check out Robert Neal’s tre flip tutorial where him and his homie talk about this exact point.

ill be the first to say that I'm not the biggest fan of all your videos, but i respect your hustle. That being said i chime in from time to time and i think all the fat comments are bullshit Joe. F*** em man. i actually made a video about fat people skating (because i am fat myself haha) i doubt you will, but if you wanna give a watch there might be something in there for you. I really don't see the point in leaving hateful comment's
Yes! I'll be watching this again...and again 💖🙌
i believe thers a big diference in deck width from both boards. From Maurio looks narrower and that helps alot to flick
Stop worrying about the content, put the camera down and stop putting pressure on yourself. Do you really want to land tre’s or do you need to because you need content? This is one of the wrong things going on in skateboarding today.
Haha assuming a lot there
@@localjoewell when you throw yourself out there, people are gonna make assumptions. I call it like I see it. I got 25 years in the game.
I must have missed this one when it was uploaded but the tre flips after the ”lift your back heel up” comment really looked a ton better IMMEDIATELY. Also definitely leaning over the board more than Maurio who is bending down more straight. Good vid and definitely learned a bit myself.
pro tip, after scooping and jumping lean forward in the air and pretend you are going to jump in front of your nose, that way you land on top instead of back foot coming off behind your tail and your back foot lands on the bolts. this leaning forward (dipping your front shoulder) also stops you from shooting out backward (mr willy)
Mario got that skate 3 og style tre flip thing goin on
What is the websiste where you got fake dunks from Imma need sum for school
Try smaller board like 8 inch
Work on proper squatting form off of your board. Keep your head and shoulders over the board. You hinge forward at the hips, bending over (instead of squatting down) and your head and shoulder weight pulls you toe side off of the board. Learn proper squat technique and you can fix that!
I have similiar problems with my tres and I am pretty shure it's mostly due to being overweight. Jumping is so much harder, you're getting out of breath sooner and there is much more stress on the joints. Also the fact I ride boards in the range of 9-10.75 inches. Additional weight...
For me treflips are hard with the front foot too far back. I prefer my front foot to be closer to the front bolts. Joe does a hop before the trick moving his front foot towards the back almost behind the center of the board. Tough to balance. IMO
base on the video, joe i think your leaning forward on the last second before you pop and aming for like a pop shuv motion which throw of your balance mid air, you can see at tre #9 that you didn't flow with that motion and actually landed a clean one. because the way mario does his is just jumping up and let the momentum pulls him forward for the catch. i know it's different for all of us but hope this helps, skate safe brother!🤙
Hey Local Joe, I've been watching your treflip videos and I noticed a couple of things that stood out to me:
1. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from watching your treflips, it looks like you're using more of a knee-bend to generate that rotational power. That is, you're kicking your calf behind you to try to generate that 360 degree rotation.
In my opinion (and personal experience), the rotational power of the treflip doesn't come primarily from that knee-bend (calf kicking); but rather, it comes from the flicking of the ankle.
For example, check out Nyjah Huston's treflip here: ruclips.net/video/yyI_QzVNsCM/видео.htmlsi=wkNgGOw9dr3e1HKB
Look at how little his back leg bends at the knee. His entire back leg is almost stiff straight. He barely kicks out his calf. But then look at his back ankle - you'll see that it's flicked out almost the way. That's because all of that rotation power is coming from his back ankle flicking.
Of course, not all pros have a stiff back leg (e.g. Mark Appleyard, Rodney Mullen), but I'm willing to bet that all of them generate most of the rotational power from that ankle flick.
2. I noticed that you have a tendency to not pop your treflips - I get the impression that you're sort of rushing the motion of the backfoot. It's like you're a bit too concerned with the rotation, and not the pop. Sometimes, you press down on the tail halfway, but then immediately start trying to rotate the board even before the tail touches the ground.
I think you need to slow down the motion of your backfoot, even by just a few milliseconds. It might not seem like much, but I can assure that it could potentially make all the difference.
I think you should deliberately think about getting that tail to touch the ground first, and only after then, think about doing the rotation. Consider popping and rotating as 2 distinct steps that happen sequentially one after the other, and not as 1 blended motion.
Idk if u are, but I would work on my body, make your legs stronger, jump rope. Just like jockeys it’s better if we stay lean and strong.
And like I said, If u already are working out or eating better, it’s just a matter of time.
That’s a good video, “does getting in better shape help w skateboarding”?
lol local Joe was like, “I have really bad Tre flips can you help me?” But then he lands a perfect one second try and then Maurio was like, “Bruh, what do I help you with?”
Start doing them over stuff like decks, and keep raising the bar, and then you'll be popping them up to clear with less effort. If you can clear a deck on its side then you can benchmark your pop.
Great vid! Love seeing the content.
Personally I don't think you have to jump that high for a Tre flip. I think you're getting it but maybe all the adjusting is throwing you off. Maybe do 3-5 that you just land, then do 2 that you try to style? When I learned Tre flip for a while I just took the ones I could get, after I felt comfortable landing them I started to adjust my feet for more pop, and style.
I also think a Tre flip requires some flick. If you watch videos of people doing them you can see the front foot stabilizes the board and when they pop it's into the front foot like it helps balance. At 6:16 when Maurio does a Tre flip you can see he is centered, then when he pops he flicks a little and transitions his weight towards his front foot.
Yeah man what’s missed in a lot of these comments is the fact that you can do a tre flip several ways. When I was young I learned tre flips with quite a bit of flick and did not do the whole monkey grip thing with the back foot. Now I do them primarily with the back and basically no flick. You definitely do not need to jump or pop high to do it. A lot of commenters don’t skate!
I think that you don’t believe that you can do a tre flip the straight up way like he’s trying to teach you. You have a mental block that’s subconsciously telling your body to do that leaning wind up tre flip motion that causes you to jump forward and at an angle.
front foot is way too far back (which is why he tic-tacs) and you can see joe stops lifting his heel whenever he under-rotates the scoop. fix those and lift the legs up more n he’ll have buttery tre’s on lock.
360 flips take more energy when your first learning them . Once you get them down nice you can do them effortlessly
POP is not BODY HEIGHT. it’s not the trick technique it’s lack of body to board height. the grunting! 😂 don’t forget to stay light & floaty. throw your arms to jump in a slow floaty motion. & If you don’t breath correctly & relax you cannot jump as easily. most of what screws up tre flips is not getting up and off of the board to let it flip.
So true I find no one talks about controlling your breath in skateboarding. When you hold your breath you tense up and lose power, when I exhale as I pop my tricks seem to work better.
Dude youre awesome and i have a lot of respect for you but if you want high threes you gotta lose some weight. Its making it so much harder for you. And stop comparing your success to others compare it against yourself. You do so well and you tend to put yourself down in front of the guests you have on. You earned where you got to with tons of work. Have respect for that.
You are looking at your feet while setting up... Don't?
Thanks for the videos!
your feet are too close together. your front foot is on the board for too long, therefore it initiates kickflip rotation while preventing kickflip rotation if that makes sense. See how Maurios feet are further apart giving him much more stability and control.
Just an athletic problem, need to loose weight and get more coordination from repetition - can’t worry about how it looks until you start landing them comfortably
that just pop straight seems to make the difference !
Interesting comments regarding the size as these shoes really inside raw inside meaning there is much more space for feet so taking one size down can event fit better. We could also hear how materials squeak like no other shoes
IF you believe in your heart that Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord then you Will Be Saved
3:26 crouch. don’t hunch over. The first one you landed was “ steezy “ but the cool kinda
everytime you land it its not beacuse that little move you do its because you put your hole wheight on the front foot. The key is that you have to stay balance on your front foot yhe one that flicks.
That was rad dude! Stoked on your progression.
I wanna win that board! Motivation to skate again
You will never be able to tre flip fast if going like you go. An ld mccoy is not a good teacher. He know what to advise but he is not doing it
Put you front foot on the board more, the kick flip in a tre flip comes from the side of your foot, not the toes as a kick flip would.
The little tick tack is whats getting you. You set up and kinda re setup once you're crouched and do that little tick tack
That first tre was the best one.
Unfortunately haha
He keeps doing a hop and repositioning his foot right before he pops. I think it would help a lot to get away from this habit.
💥🔥🔥🔥🙏
Joe, as someone much older and heavier than you. I relate to the tre flip struggle. On lock one day, and then can’t buy one the next. Mario was right about you upper body position. For me it’s arms. If you’re too focused on what legs and feet are doing. Then your upper body does odd movements that’s throw you off. For me sometimes I have to hold my arms out Karate Kid style before I pop. It probably looks dumb, but it makes me aware of where they are. And keeps them from flailing around. Then I start landing tres with consistency. I hope this helps.
this vid fix me alot
You just gotta tighten your trucks so you arent carving so much before your pop...rear toes in pocket and front a few inches below bolts...in a kickflip position flick like you would a gentle kickflip
Shorter trucks than deck helps....and conical over tablet style wheel can help....look into the AA PP hybrid wheel he just dropped
Mario is the best coach ! Best teacher.
I do the grunt as well and hate it lol. It makes me think maybe we both put too much effort into it
I’m pulling for Maurio from now on seems like such a good dude
Tighten your trucks like half a turn and you’ll be good
The crouching has to do with hip mobility. I struggle keeping my posture upright when i squat too. If you hit some yoga classes i think you will be doing 5 for 5!
He's giving advices but you don't follow it
was it you or your board making that weird noise when you would try to tre flip
It’s him.. he’s grunting and trying so hard it’s messing him up.. I wish he would try to relax a bit more and not be so tense and worried about every little “hack or cheat” and just crouch down and just send it. I feel like when you get so in your head and try analyzing every little thing you lose your ability to do the damn thing.
I see you struggling with the excess of weight 🤷🏻
Mario’s tre flips are so good!
Maurio Mccoy for skate school principal!
Title should be "pro skateR"
Your killing me smallz 😂😂
Your 9th and 10th tre flips were solid. If Maurio says it’s good, it’s good. You need to learn how to be more satisfied with your results, or it’s going to be even more difficult to reach your goal. It’s a mental game first and foremost.
