Yeah I agree that so much of this trick is actually the front foot, when you can feel your front foot sliding up the board, controlling it by moving the board backward while simultaneously flicking
Interesting technique. It looks like the toes of your back foot are angled towards the spin. And your front foot flicks early on the side of the board instead of at the pocket. It looks like you pressure load or counterbalance the weight of your feet, so when you release for the pop and flick, it naturally wants to flow in that direction. It also spins underneath you instead of having to jump back. Good stuff, man.
I watched this video a whole year ago, and I'm still having trouble with them. They always land behind me no matter what. I just can never jump back far enough... The weird thing is that they always land fully rotated and fully flat behind me. I do them perfectly... BEHIND ME. On the offchance that I manage to jump back far enough I land them but that's like 1 in 20 tries
make sure your not leaning forward that's all that comes down to and also if your not 100% commiting this will happen. You may have gotten used to jumping forward too much
I can see those Laser Flips wanting to come out...
I accidentally figured this out on my own when first learning the trick, I didn't know it was a specific technique, thanks for the further explanation
Foot position is key for this one, look at where back for is for the pop.

You need to focus on the pop. To keep the board under you. Really slap that tail down and slightly forward, then lift that back foot
Did you get them and have any tips?
@@kvsh5172 The guys up top gave good tips. I eventually got them better by leaning back ans popping in front of me. That seemed to do the trick
got the rotation but havent got to get back foot on yet
how about a seperate video on how to pop higher ? deffinetly need a vid on that haha otherwise great video ! very helpful.
gonna trry lasers now this helped me w lasers
Wish I could keep my blasted feet up:/ is so hard to jump high while focusing on the flip
Thanke you
thx!!!
I do mine the same way bro.all in the front foot
this so real💯
Had it...lost it...had it...lost it. Ive started hanging my toes off too far I think
Same story except with nightmare flips
its all in the pop somehow
More like a backshuv then a frontshuv pop
Oh shoot youre vegan? Ayeee
Like to varial Kickflip is it possible to learn varial heels before heelflip or not ?
probably but if you're learning the varial heel before the heel you're probably not flicking your heelflips right
Yeah I can varial heelflip consistantly but can barely land heelflips lol
@@versaii1469 but you did heelflip before varial heel ?
