How To Tre Flip If You Need Some Help

Even though there are hundreds of 360 flip tutorials out there, I'm throwing in my own advice. Also I asked on my Instagram what advice helped you the most when learning tre flips and what your most common problems are. Thanks for watching :)

[@themiyagibrothers619]

it’s been 3 years straight and i still can’t tre, watched every video on tres out there and this one made the most sense. will try again tomo.

big facts

[@adrianjjr]

Nice, great job 👏 and When did you start skating?

[@ezedjay]

I didn't see Dans 360 flip video yet - but I'll say it anyway - your tutorial today is by far the best one I've ever seen. You explained it really well and I feel you mentioned all the important small details that everyone else either doesn't understand or can't explain. Good work 👏

[@HaleyIsaak]

Glad this helped!

[@Dankaloriginal]

Listen to this girl, she knows her stuff

[@isiahsk8866]

I just started watching your channel and I'm not even all the way through the video yet and I've watched so many treflip totourials and I think your the only one that can help me treflip because of the start

[@HaleyIsaak]

Oh yes you got it 👏

[@AlexNiedt]

So on point. People really exaggerate the emphasis on the back foot to the point where they ignore everything else. Just saw a guy at a skatepark trying them with 100% back foot because that's what everyone had told him. So he was basically popping impossibles and 360 shove-its. As soon as I suggested incorporating a bit of front foot flick, he was spinning them fine. Great video!

[@HaleyIsaak]

Thanks Alex!

[@djbidd007]

One of the best 360 flip trick tip videos I’ve seen 👍 Nothing is more frustrating than the trick tip videos that go “just pop, scoop the board, wait for it to spin around, land on it then roll away 😎” it’s like yeah I know but how lol

[@dr.chip-inski5513]

I’m actually so impressed with the amount of time you took to try and explain this trick. I LOVE this trick, but I also know the struggle. And watching all the repetitive tutorials on KZbin with no in depth detail just adds to the frustrating struggle...so I’m glad you made this for everyone because this is a great video and learning the trick is absolutely worth it. Just a few things I would like to add as useful tips: 1. Practice pop shove-its FOR THE LANDING. You will want to land treflips like you do with pop shovs, catching them in the air as well as making them look just as effortless. So pop shuvs are a nice way to imagine the catching and landing. 2. Practice Treflips STATIONARY first. There are so many factors to take into account, you don’t want speed and momentum to be another thing to worry about. Stationary tre will allow you to practice the flip first and the landing much quicker. 3. Practice on a smoother surface! When you are learning tres, you don’t want friction to be another factor hindering your scoop pop. TRUST ME, learn this trick on a nice surface... like a tennis court I guess lol. 4. BE PATIENT- the reason why this trick may take a long time is because your body and mind are trying to synchronize the timing of the back foot scoop with the front foot flick as well as EVERYTHING ELSE that comes along with this trick... that’s why some people can do this trick with their front foot super back or super forward on the board because THEY GOT THE TECHNIQUE DOWN. It is synchronized. But one thing that is non negotiable, you need to hang those toes off the board on your back foot. It needs to feel like your toes are gripping the side. So like if you were barefoot, you could curl your toes on the side and bottom part of the board (referring to your back foot). That curling sensation is what preps the scoop of the board that ensures the flick of the front foot will be good enough so that the board doesn’t under rotate. Haley explains this really well in this video. And that’s why the front foot is important, but the back foot preps the angle of the scoop FOR THE FLICK of the front foot. 5. Probably THE MOST important tip. Once you land your first tre, IMMEDIATELY DO IT AGAIN! I know you will be excited and you will want to run off and celebrate, but trust me. DO THEM AGAIN... AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN. Create and establish that muscle memory and that muscle mind connection ASAP because you will lose the synchronicity if you just land it once. When I landed my first tre, I was able to land it 2 more times in a row right after I landed the first one. 2 to make it True. It’s obviously important to keep practicing the trick, but remember to practice SMART. I think these tips will help you do that. It will make it less Painful and more bearable. Good luck and thanks again Haley

[@Skatebetter]

The “lean back” towards your heels is to offset the need to jump forward too much. You lean back and right as the board turns heel side you shift your weight to lean forward (toe side) and pop . You’ll notice almost everyone does this who has a more experience 360 flip as it makes it much easier to get your weight right and the board to come around correctly without over turning.

[@ezedjay]

Thank you Haley :) Someone really needed to stand up and dispute the "front foot does nothing" claims. I cringe watching slo mo videos where you can clearly see the front foot tipping the board flip in the correct direction and the commentary is all "see the front foot does nothing".......I did tre flips in the 90's on 9.5 boards - the scoop and flick was a lot of effort on them boards - it was very obvious the front foot was doing something. Popsicles spin and flip easier so it looks like less front foot but there's less back foot needed too on modern boards so it's all relative.

[@HaleyIsaak]

Yeah I think most problems from underflipping the board stem from incorrect back foot positioning but that doesn’t mean the front foot does nothing

[@wesleylee4746]

I know a certain guy from the San Francisco Bay area who swears its all in the back scoop lol!! I feel like that triggered you to set it straight! Big fan of you both btw!

[@mobertrartling]

Leaning back will throw the board forward, which is helpful for catching the trick like a ninja. I feel like spreading your arms like wings also helps, especially the front arm because you want give your leg room to sprawl out.

[@demise9515]

flick like a varial, that's what i did and it fixed them completely

[@ponkieponkz]

I've seen so many videos but never noticed any mention of the swoosh. Figuring out how to "pop-scoop" has been such a puzzle for me. The swoosh actually made sense to me. You helped me land my first clean Tre flip and I thank you

[@marcusprince3999]

Thanks for breaking this down, the way you did. Too many people saying "you dont use your front foot at all; just get it ot of the way." My board does a 360 pressure flip (flips the wrong way) when I use their approach. I knew that had to be some BS. so thank you!

[@theodoredehart659]

A lot of people lean over the nose when going to catch it and miss the front foot so the lean back advice is to counter balance where they aren’t centering.

You're so right. This one idiot Dan Corrigan was telling me it's just pushing with the back foot.

[@MyshalDynasty]

I start off learning treflip just like the way you does it. But gradually my front foot literally does nothing at all. You should watch Ellis Frost how to treflip video where he explains how that works

[@bizgripcustoms]

My problem is keeping my front foot up to catch it... but this was informative thanks Haley

[@edwardpratt1180]

i had never realised you turn the board toeside with your back foot so the front foot can flick it, gonna go try this tomorrow morning

[@HaleyIsaak]

You got it 👏

[@1wyxtt1]

i landed my 3one tady i have been trying them for 3days

[@morganorgan809]

I watched 6 minutes of this and hit my first tre flip since like five months ago. that back foot hanging off the board thing was exactly what i need and now i feel like i can get them down

[@HaleyIsaak]

Oh yes that sick 👏

[@declangatchell2064]

You said, you should should jump straight up, but I find that you should actually jump forward a bit. Like jump up and out the way you are facing. Haley, you actually do this too but you mentioned to jump straight up. Just a little detail I thought would help. Great video!

[@HaleyIsaak]

Yes I noticed that too, still trying to build back up the muscles in my legs for tre flips bc I haven’t done them in awhile. But if you get a proper, powerful scoop the board should stay pretty much directly under you. Also I would be more focused on trying to keep the board under you rather than overcompensate by jumping too far forward.

[@MrTripsJ]

You and Dan are the most compatible couple lol. You both like you skate every waking hour of the day lmao

[@Freysn]

Shifting my weight from front foot to back foot Just before I pop, helped me to scoop better and higher. Also I find it easier on high trucks

[@neutrongarbage]

Thanks for taking the time to show us how you tre flip! You make a great point that your front foot is still important, a lot people forget that. P.S. where do you find such nice tennis courts that don't have tennis players on them? Wow!

[@HaleyIsaak]

Thanks for watching! And I just go when it’s 95+ degrees out so I know no one else will be there 😅

[@neutrongarbage]

@@HaleyIsaak Ah ha! That makes sense! Tennis players can't hang! (I'm kidding...)

[@piezor]

Varial flips next please! Struggling like hell with this trick

[@aidinlayne]

flick hard pop harder

[@AlexNiedt]

Varial flips, to me, feel like pop shove-its with a defined front foot toe flick in the middle of the rotation.

[@sanchobancho]

I think that the durometer of the wheels also influences the rotation. If your wheels are too soft, it is more difficult to get the scoop .. (personal experience)

[@Haleync]

Yes! Thank you dude!!👍🔥

[@HaleyIsaak]

🙏❤️

[@beastakip1777]

Tbh whenever I've been asked how to tre flip i always tell them it's all in your back foot xD I see your point though there's definitely more to it then the backfoot

[@mastertasa]

I think you dissect the 3flip like no other tutorial not only the steps but also how does it feels like doing the trick. Props to you. The only question I have is about how loose or tight the trucks should be? What is the best way if you want a quick 3flip. Because I notice your back truck is kind of loose and I wonder if tight truck would make the trick hard to land for beginners.

[@HaleyIsaak]

People do tre flips with lose and tight trucks, it’s whatever you feel comfortable skating on. BUT when I was first learning this trick I had my trucks on the tighter side, and over time I loosened them up.

[@razerskateboarding7387]

thanks i struggled with the 360 motion then the landing haha

[@mitchelready2091]

I was trying treflips for like a week until I landed my first one. All I did was try to learn 360 shuvs and you don't even need to land them. That is the easiest way to get the scoop down period. Once you get the feeling, its pretty easy to get it to flip but you just got to tweak it a bit. As for the learning the 360 shuv, I was using the wheel stopper things so I wouldn't roll around which really boosted my confidence as well.

I'm meant to be revising right now but... this is better

Great tutorial haley👍I think it's so hard to teach how to do this trick because it can be done in different foot "positionings" lol I have tried for weeks to land a kickflip and have finally found a technique that helps me alot better than what "ANYONE" has said to do in their tutorials, so yeah this trick is definitely one of those that you pretty much have to find that "sweet spot"👍 I have busted my shins trying this trick so much that I'm not trying it anymore until I get shin gaurds lol great vid though, love watching you and dan shred🤙✌

My problem is my shoulders always open up and my back foot ends up out to the side. I’ve landed a handful but it’s always been such a hard trick for me to learn.

For me the board kept going behind me so ppl kept saying lean back more but i would lean as far back as i could without slipping out and the same thing happened but i learned that ur not rlly supposed to lean as far back as u should lean to the side and practice land with ur front foot until u have the courage to commit

Hardflip next? Great video

Oh I gotta get better at that trick first I think 🤣

[@landhynxskates7363]

For about two years I would always half ass home I never really knew had a scope and I can only pop shove a Ollie and kickflip 180 backside and that’s about it but the past week on my first day I did a full rotation in on the second day I started putting everything in it and today I have two Rolled ankles tomorrow I’m landing at

[@orlandocarrasquillo4481]

The tre flip is based off an ollie impossible, generally done by the same mechanics just without allowing the board to wrap around the back foot. Obviously, this only applies to back foot ollie impossibles and not front foot impossibles. Additionally, this is a impossible without the ollie. You are pure pressure flipping it and sucking up both knees to allow the flip. Jamie Griffin actually ollies his tre flips and doesn't allow his toes over the edge of the board. Jason Lee never did his with the toes hanging over either and he popularize the flip; even though Rodney Mullen invented it, in the late 80s and early 90s.
