Alright I'll do my best, if you don't already know how to kickflip and pop shove it consistently I strongly advise you to learn these first. With that out of the way, you should place your back foot on the tail, toes hanging, ready to scoop hard. For the front foot I see a lot of people learning with their foot way too far back, imagine a line in the middle of your board (between nose and tail not between toe and hee
Yeah bruv. Look at your shoulders. They turn as you scoop. Stop that. When you pop the scoop is supposed to be emphasized with a little ankle nudge forward, that’s how to get 360 flips to stay under you and not have to travel so far forward. Watch this and notice the back ankle on the pop. [VIDEO]
Slow motion 1000fps 360 flips [VIDEO] Maybe that helps.
Ok so looking at this slowed down it seems like your front foot is the issue. What a lot of people don't realise about the 360 flip is that most of the work and technique that goes into the flipping and rotations is done with the positioning and scoop of the back foot and this is a perfect example of how important that back foot is. That being said your back foot technique is all good except for maybe the end placeme
First off, you got that 3shuv no problem soon! Good news! Second, you got that tre as well! Here a link to Skateology on YouTube. My advice is any trick you can think of to learn, check out one of his videos. You'll see every angle, every pressure point, every flick, to help you find what works for you. [VIDEO] From your clip it looks like your pushing the tail forward, and your foot stays on it after it hits the gro

Ideally, post a video of yourself landing a 360 shuv and trying a 360 flip so that we could give better advice. But without seeing any video: Unless you are doing a 360 shove/impossible (ie the scooped version), 360 shove and 360 flip a quite different tricks. For 360 flip, you don't want to be centered above the board when you scoop. Ideally, you want to be heavily leaning over your toes to the point when you are al
