Common mistakes of scoop in Treflips / Shove-its. Analysis on the lightness of tricks.

You can view 3D models from here:
whythetrick.io...
Especially for those who are learning their Treflips or shove-it’s, it’s important to understand why steezy Treflips are possible.
Being able to steezy Treflip can be translated as “being able to time it right.” In this video, we study h ow proper timing makes it easier to flip our boards.
Please take a moment and try to study this in detail.
I'm trying to eliminate subjectivity from my explanation as much as possible by referring to scientific and physics theories. Please use my 3D models to solve your "why."

Traditionally, skateboarding how-to videos have always been subjective and the majority of explanations are based on speakers' experiences.
To avoid relying on my personal experiences, please fully utilize the 3D models.
All skaters have different questions.
So that you can analyze skateboarding tricks in detail and solve your "whys," those 3D models are made fully interactive.
The 3D models feature these functions below:
change camera angle
adjust play speed
change transparency
display gridlines, etc.
Aside from that, I try to explain concepts of skateboarding tricks based on facts, calculations, scientific and physics theories. I may make mistakes so please leave a comment if you find anything.

Can we just take a minute and apperitiate how much effort he put in this video? This is amazing.

[@whythetrick]

Thanks a lot! But I'm actually doing this for me. I always wanted to create a sort of service where everyone can share their experiences without relying only on their subjectivity. I want to change the way we pass on what we have. Otherwise, as soon as we quit skating, all those pain, blood and tears and excitement will be lost.

@@whythetrick amazing, you’re a gem for skateboarding, I wish you all the best. I can treflip but just from the thumbnail I understood that you put a lot of effort into this so I had to check it out xD greetings from Norway ❤️🙏🏼

[@_wonge]

Agreed! I love the 3D models and detailed explanations

[@DarmokAtTanagra]

I was skeptical at first when he starts talking about gravity and crouching but he really brings it all together so that it all makes sense and I think the physics are accurate

[@AvocAdo5096]

you have no IDEA how much this helped. I JUST LANDED MY FIRST TRE FLIP 30 mins after watching this video. HOLY SHIT ITS 1:30 AM AND IM GOING NUTS BRO NUUUUUUTS 1 and a half years after standing on a board I finally land one. I sincerely thank you

[@whythetrick]

Greaaat!! Really glad to hear that. It's easy to forget how it feels after some time. Just focus on separating jumping and scooping/popping.

[@whythetrick]

but your name tho

[@Laurap01]

Finally, a skateboarding tutorial acknowledges that you have to jump BEFORE you start your tricks.

[@magortom]

It is rare to see that mentioned, however I imagine maybe it's because for a lot of people who aren't used to whatever trait they're learning it can be confusing considering in real time most aspects of a trick feel simultaneous as opposed to sequential

[@DScapo0]

Took a Japanese man too XD

[@cosmicmirrorstorm1797]

Been asking skaters this question for years

[@allhxrt]

[@miguelmota5447]

[@fabiomatos896]

This is by far, the best explanation of a 360 flip I've seen. It shows practicing but also the mechanics involved. Awesome, congratulations!!!!!

[@CobraMJD]

Really? This seems a Pressure Flip for me.

[@Flippy]

Brilliant video! There's many factors involved including posture of the hips and shoulders, and the pressure points on the board and the band of tension between them. Using blender to illustrate this is very helpful.

[@ProjectASkate]

Didnt expect to see ya here flippy. Took a long 3 year break?

[@theharvardyard2356]

I member you. Make more thps vids ya goob

[@R0lphy]

I never heard to concept of jumping BEFORE you start your trick. Even without trying it, it already makes way more for almost any trick. Thanks for visualizing it this well. Great stuff!!

[@jeremystidham1809]

Amazing man. You have helped a 35 year old skater do things he never has. Thank you again

[@LucasFesmire]

Just found your channel. I’m in my third year studying engineering at school and feel like I’ve been waiting for your channel all my life. I love these types of breakdowns for tricks.

[@macguirenelson8974]

Thank you for being the only person that actually goes in depth on the science of a trick… this video is great

[@TheDailyPush]

Man this video was absolutely amazing!! Like really so good! Scooping when your momentum's going up is such a solid recommendation. The only part I would disagree with is the pause at the bottom, this is because something that contributes a lot to the power we can generate in a vertical jump/popping a trick are the elastic structures in and around your muscles and joints. They essentially work like an elastic band that's pulled back and released - building on top of the force you could create with your muscles alone - this process is known as the 'stretch shortening cycle' (SSC). The more you pause, the more the stored energy in the SSC is dissipated as heat. Instead, I would recommend developing the SSC and your ability to create power over pausing at the bottom (there are exercises on my channel to do this). Anyway, thanks for the vid! You gained a subscriber!

[@Corn0nTheCobb]

That's something I didn't know about. Interesting, thanks for the knowledge!

[@wacamac1006]

so like a rubber band? the longer you stretch it the more the elastic energy dissipates. I just realized why stretching helps a lot more now

[@whythetrick]

I've posted like 15 videos so far but this is by far one of the greatest comments. Thanks a lot!

[@graalcloud]

I just spent 2 years watching every youtube video with no luck and just going out and practicing every day until I finally figured out flatground tre flips. And then you decide to upload this, AFTER I finally figured all this out. Great video, you're the only person to upload a video that even comes close to properly explaining this trick.

[@benryan2009]

Really awesome perspective, I bet this will help a lot of people that don't learn the conventional way. Completely explains why I can get the rotation so easily with one foot off the board, but don't get anywhere close when I'm riding on it

[@markhunstein1320]

It's been a long time since I've seen a skate trick tip that's made me realize something I've never thought about and say "of course!" I can't wait to try this

[@whythetrick]

What a great compliment. You are very welcome.

[@notfarfromgone1]

best part - take a breath. all of this absolutely rips, but your mind is working preconsciously every time you try it to make it work. Via your recommendation to chill in the moment and on every try, all the mechanics make sense. Rad. Gratitude.

[@Woodywoodah]

Love the 3D models and detailed break down! Would love to see more sciencey skate content like this.

[@NiejakiZoxico]

Whoa. That's the best treflip tutorial I've seen. And I've seen many. Opened my eyes to some aspects. Thanks A LOT, it really is a high quality content

[@m_noway]

Amazing video! Loved it! The main problem i see for people who want to tre flip is that they put all their weight on their back foot. This makes the trick so much harder to actually do. Because you basically jump backwards and your board pops forward. So instead of holding it on the Blackfoot you have to hold your weight on the front foot. Hope this helps someone :)

[@xandro-7840]

you have earned yourself a new subscriber friend. from this very simple analysis of the weight distribution I have literally somehow managed to unlock nollie 3shuvs and my ollies and kickflips have never popped so high or felt so natural. wow, I am flabbergasted bro!

[@whythetrick]

Great! Maybe you are right. This timing thing applies to every trick. Thanks for the comment!

[@aramori]

Wow you just showed up in my recommended, but this is a really fascinating channel. Sometimes I really feel like a physicist when I'm trying to understand tricks and these videos provide a nice breakdown of the physics. Do you think you could do one focusing on the heelflip flick? I feel like a lot people, myself included struggle with flicking heels.

[@nilo_river]

Finally! Most skateboarding tutorials don't take into account the body, the jump, the arms and shoulders.

[@pat7917]

You keep these videos coming and I’ll keep watching. Thanks for giving this gem to the skate community.

[@MattDiGi]

this is seriously the best tip for tres, i figured this out years ago and it made me finally learn them

[@bernardesp_]

another gem as usual. what do you think about making some content on head/shoulder/vision positioning on 180 body tricks?

[@whythetrick]

Sounds good. Please let me know what you have in your mind though. I’m guessing I could make a video about “the importance of using shoulders in fs/bs 180” or something. But other tricks like bigspins or bs360s also require the use of shoulders. Any specific trick you would like me to talk about?

[@bernardesp_]

@@whythetrick bs360 is a solid one. My doubt when doing 180s is where to put my weight during the rotation, like where is the best place to put the angle of rotation and where to look (like should i start looking foward and then land looking backwards?) Thanks for the content again!!

I just wanna say thank you very much for taking the time to scientifically break this down making this so much easier to understand.

[@crazycatman5928]

This generation is lucky for tutorials with internet. I quit skating in 1991. Last trick I learned was treflip. Back then it was a lot of work to figure out how to do them. Had a VCR with slow motion playback. I wish I had internet back then...but the hard work and effort to learn a trick was so satisfying to me.

[@Zk8er35]

Thanks to the algorithm for introducing me to this channel. I've always been fascinated with the detailed physics for skate tricks.

[@markweller64]

Super helpful! I am that guy who has struggle bussed with tre flips forever. Going to apply these physics concepts next time and get this trick wired for once! Thanks so much

[@rmhfpv9225]

this is great info which made me realize why I ghost pop once in a while. It's not that I didn't pop the tail hard enough - it's that my front foot pushed down for too long into the move. I need to release my front foot weight on time. if done correctly, as you stated, the skateboard requires very little force to pop.

[@jedinaiit2345]

Agreed!!

[@urmom71717]

I’ve damn near given up skating and trying to learn tricks bc I just couldn’t get it but this literally made it all CLICK thank you!!! Amazing content

[@DerusGrindz]

Dont give up. There's some tricks i cant do to save my life and ive been working on them since my teens.. Like anything with a late flip, like Hospital flips. Their just too much to fast for me. Just kinda work on your own style and have fun.

[@SKATETOSLAYER]

This is actually a really well thought out explanation of skateboarding motorskills. I may be wrong but in my experience almost any time I've over heard, or been asked to give trick advice on how to do ollies or other things, we all tend to start by explaining with the motion required by our feet, rather than the first goal. Now obviously when we're giving ollie advice we explain that you have to snap your tail on the ground before sliding your front foot up the board to level it out while jumping. but more emphasis definitely needs to be made on the crouching and jumping aspects before all that other shit. Good analysis.

[@whythetrick]

you are right. although this one's about treflips, the same concept should apply to other tricks including ollies. jump>>>pop. there's a big difference but we tend to forget about this.

[@Exploitedyouth2004]

The tip of holding your movement at the bottom of your crouch is a huge eye opener for any trick. That timing will help your pop for all tricks not just those involving a scoop.

[@nowellpulido4121]

Best tutorial I've seen so far

[@ohstirfry]

I have not done these tricks in years but as you explain some of the physics, dots are being connected in muscle memories. Now I think I could tell some one how to land it quicker.

[@PhilWasHere]

I’m gonna save this video to look back on because I never really thought about half of the stuff that was said in the video. Like waiting until you feel your body actually getting an upward motion and then going for the trick 🙌🏽

[@whythetrick]

The harder you try it, you tend to crouch down lower or jump harder. That could actually be a reason why you can’t land it. Ironic isn’t it.

[@pistopit7142]

I knew this intuitively that you need to jump before doing the trick, otherwise how could I lift the board from the ground if I cannot lift myself first. This is very valuable to know for any skateboarding trick that requires board lifting. But when it comes to three flip there is so much more to explain than this. For example direction of the scoop is extremely important, shoulders position, pop before scoop, and so on. Many other videos talk about hese aspects. My advice above them all would be: record yourself and analyse what mistakes you are doing. Then try to correct these mistakes.

[@fibryrruihf]

[@jadeackerman8611]

brilliant brilliant work. I am amazed at the amazingly simple concepts that are still so easy to not realize. you laid this out so well. Now I understand also how to get so much more pop, as you need to be nearly leaving your board before you pop it/scoop it
