I have been skateboarding for about a year now and I was one of the first skateboarders in our grade to learn this trick. I think I do it quite well and would be glad to teach all you start-up skaters out there. So here it goes.
note: this trick will be much harder if you haven't learned the shove-it and the ollie first.
1 |
Push off to get some speed then get in position as low as you can to gather as much power as possible as you prepare for the varial flip. |
|
2 |
Jump up as you ollie, shove-it and kickflip all at the same time. |
|
3 |
Lift your legs up as the board is spinning under you so that they don't hit and mess you up. |
|
4 |
Land on the board with your feet separated so that you are as balanced as possible and roll away. |
