Episode 5: Misty Flip Progression

Hey guys! Back at it for another episode, this weeks focus was on Misty Flips. Flips are something I've always been amazed by, to me they're the pinnacle of what can be done with air time. Sadly I didn't land a flip to the resi but I couldn't be happier with the fact that I got up there and attempted it with only a few hours of practice behind me. I'll definitely get in there and give it another go, and I'll get it down one way or another!
Thanks for watching and keep skating!

Josh Acosta I couldn’t agree more! It translates into every aspect of life, can never fear hold you back from achieving greatness 🙏🏻

[@ThirtyandRollin]

I love flipping into a foam pit or bag on skates! Lookin good!

[@DanRoworth]

It's so easy to get hooked on it! The hardest part is being willing to step away and try it on a less cushioned surface hah

[@InlineStruggle]

I would count a couple of those misty flips! 👊🏼

[@DanRoworth]

i cant misty flip, but i can frontflip 180....weird, cause they are3 so similuar, its just a vary slight differnce on how you throw th flip that makes them look different...you got that tho man!

[@DanRoworth]

You're not alone there!! Another guy I talk to has an absolutely sick front 180, but he's yet to get to Misty. Cheers bro, gotta get back onto these. I started backflip grabs and haven't looked back at Misty.

[@bazza10198]

I have to ask. I skated in the 90s This to me is a bio 540. A misty flip was a 180. When did it change?

[@dylangreene4]

This is a bio 5 not a misty. Misty is a front flip late 180

[@joshvega4906]

I used to skate a lot back in the day. I think your too focused on the the flip itself. Your throwing your arm a lot.Try to do a couple of 540s. Than try to start rolling over your shoulder just a little bit. It’s like tour rolling on your back on floor. You want to stay tucked in to get that rotation in quicker so you can spot your landing.

U are not popping.

[@ryleycarroll7184]

U throw into the ground pop up in air then throw, set the pop then the spin.
