Maurio McCoy Teaches Me Frontside Flips!

[@BretCahill]

All of Maurio's tricks look so good, definitely one of my favorite skaters. Not to mention his board graphic is sick.

[@AndyTheChef]

Skaters are such nice people

[@_dp777]

I've been workin on these as well and delaying the flick has really helped

[@silvercleanshop5041]

Honestly, one of your biggest problems is not jumping high enough. Your flick seems good, but you don’t have enough time to try catch and recover it.

[@bkfounds]

ive commented that on every video lol...i think he knows it by now and pretty sure acknowledged he doesn't jump high enough in a recent video. but yeah its like JUST JUMP HIGHER PLEASE LORD JUST JUMP HIGHER LOL!

[@ohohyeahohyeahohyeah]

its hard since hes a bit heavier. i had the same problem. i lost 15pounds and my pop just exploded. since u still have the strenght in ur legs but dont have to carry all the weight up with u.

[@gottiic6529]

Hit the gym hit calves

[@Grant.M]

@@gottiic6529more than calves man. Flexible and strong hip flexors is the game changer

[@makylavender]

The crossover episode!!!!!!

[@MickyThunderV]

Most times your not really trying to actually land on the board - which is THE most important thing on any new trick! Its stressfull, frightening and dangerous too tho😂

[@theanti-come]

Me personally, frontside flips only work if I have my front foot closer to the middle of the board with the toe pointed. My theory is that it gives me more leverage to pop the board higher in order to complete the flip and rotation. I also like to imagine that I'm throwing my lead shoulder straight back towards the tail. Which, in theory, allows me to complete the full rotation. In the end, everyone does their tricks different, I just do all mine weird.

[@jeffchiqui2642]

Maurio’s VX board shape is a gem. Haven’t skated any other shape in 2 years. Perfect wheelbase to board length ratio.

[@Shinigamix666]

I read "flick later" in thumbnail and now I can do them

[@grimmkiller2161]

It's cool to see you guys together, I follow both of you guys

[@rhoad865]

we missing more of these live coaching style videos on youtube

[@AdriStouse]

It is cool to see you actually actually getting tips from the pro himself! It must feel to be a good reward after all the work you have been putting down at breaking down tricks from pros into their subtile details!

[@BrandnRex]

You’re killing it Joe, and major shout out to Mario for being down to do the content!

[@bartoloesculapio7962]

Yes! This series is so good, everything is so clear; please keep them coming! Can't wait to put this into practice (I'm out of commision right now 😩 itchin' to get back on the board). :D 🙌

[@ofejivigappolilloc9960]

👏👏👏👏 I'm soooo looking forward to the next one!

[@WizardDoom]

I can do them in banks, but not on flat anymore. Reynolds, Decenzo and Maurio are so good

[@beanguru6838]

That's it right there 10:19 Focus on landing on the nose. It makes the turn so much easier. Eventually it'll get better but you got it!👊

[@milowouldgo662]

Maurio has got to be one of the best dudes to collaborate with!

[@wflowchillin]

Dope video man. Everytime I watch your vids just makes me wish i could get my tricks back. About a month back on the board after a decade plus off and they are slowly coming back. Thanks for the motivation

[@localjoe]

You’ll get them back just takes time!

[@GrahamFos]

It seems counterintuitive to approach the trick all tensed up like that. I suck at skating tho so maybe I’m on the wrong track but it seems you’d get more explosive pop and flick and everything in tricks if you approach it relaxed and when it’s time to go then you trigger all the muscles for a split second of power rather than staying coiled up for so long. Congrats on smackin those fsf’s down man. They looked super banger.

[@localjoe]

Easier said than done but I agree I’m overweight so it puts a lot of strain on my knees which is why I don’t bend down as far as I should

[@danewellings2865]

gotta see you learn hardflips bro, satisfying trick to add to the bag as well

[@ideliver7289]

So me and you skate pretty similarly and although I’ve always been able to kickflip and front 180, I’ve always struggled to make a fs flip work, by watching your videos and knowing myself and what it looks like, I think I’ve finally figured out what the problem is, I’ve put in a lot of time trying to figure this trick out , have gone to the park hours and hours try after try

[@petibalog]

turn forward, you have to open up the space for the turn with your shoulder first before the pop.

[@StephenBanana]

Have him teach you treflips

[@localjoe]

Coming in the next video next week

[@MIKEK3NT]

And Hardflips Maurio has some good ones

[@patrickmoore4564]

I’m stoked you introduced me to Mario with your channel, awesome colab!

[@bellabear653]

There are two ways to frontside flip, late like Mario, and hard flip style if you struggle with the late flip style you could try the other, again pressure flips will help you understand the board rotation but it's your front foot causing the rotation not the pocket then its just rotating your body and landing switch.

[@SkateAndExplore817]

Love Maurio. Right after saying his front flips aren't great on flat, lands one of the best looking front flips. Haha.

[@DerAngriff]

Clean and stonked.

[@kwote]

Turn your neck, shoulders and legs at the beginning of the pop, while flicking to the side instead of towards the nose. Front foot should be a little further back and a bit more pointed than a kickflip.

[@graemecoyne2611]

My very humble and tactful... subjective insight: don't "think P-Rod" ; think yourself. As in... . everyone has varying mechanics and approaches to movements: THe dynamics will never be definitive in their entirety. Overthinking becomes counterintuitive. I'm certainly not trying to dilute the difficulty nor skillset required to execute said tricks - but in essence... just pop and flick! you have your own unique style that will work and function for you! Yes... draw inspiration from other Pro's and such ... but at the end of the proverbial day... just do what feels best and most comfortoble for you! Just do you playa... and it will come... probably sooner than you may anticipate. Pop, flick... and roll yo!

[@maurcoy]

Valid perspective 💯

[@supakoolkris]

cracks me up hearing those ASMR sounds of doing tricks URRGH haha

[@jon5one7]

Good stuff joe keep it up brother!

[@vinnyplace1269]

Sick upload bro.

[@Ricksboxoftricks]

yes that was awesome

[@ayyejustin]

🔥 good shit joe!

[@ChilliRelleno909]

Just run…meeting up with Mario once a month. That would be a solid show 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MickyThunderV]

Amazing!

[@EliFleming]

2:19 😮 so sick!!!

[@abraun4887]

Joe, one of the main issues is that you are super stiff on your board and I think it really keeps you from bending your hips enough in the air to get some more time in the air. Look how easily and far down Maurio is bending down on all of his attempts and how high he gets up in the air. Maybe you should try some stretching or yoga to increase your flexibility, it helped men in any sport not just skateboarding. Thank you so much for the videos, Joe and Maurio, and keep up the great work! Just subscribed!

[@rezpezz]

that kid on the bike wilding lol

[@Sore69]

5:51 THE BEST MOMENT!

[@bmwolfe2786]

i think you're having the same issue i am. We're just not jumping (or popping) high enough. I mean it's possible to do it where you're doing it, but waaaay harder (it seems). I'm trying to force myself to pop the shit out of it. Trying to get my kickflips higher first. Do some leg workouts or something lol. My vertical jump sucks right now and that's part of it. I can ollie about the height the other dude is doing FS flips. I need to get my kickflips up there.

[@claysoggyfries]

Can you do a video about pressure flips?

[@maga_skater4207]

These videos are badass.. have you tried his twin tail yet.. it's pretty nice

[@Dfort_]

Waddup brother 💪🏽

[@maga_skater4207]

​@@Dfort_ grinding my dude.. hope all is well brother

[@red_rose_redemption]

maurio got a good fs flip and so do you! did you guys film this early in the morning?

[@localjoe]

Like around 11am

[@red_rose_redemption]

@@localjoe dope im from boston was just out in ca a few weeks ago. i want to go back and skate more, figured id have to go early to avoid this park getting crowded thanks!

[@localjoe]

@@red_rose_redemption it was a monday as well so keep that in mind

[@Crxckd1]

Damn these are clean i wish

[@sessionvideomag]

Jump higher Joe!

[@damiensouthwell091]

Hey, man. I've got a question about bushings. I'm a similar build to you but a bit bigger. Not sure of your height but I'm 6'1" 230lbs. I prefer skating my trucks as tight as I can get them. What research I've done always points toward harder bushings. I feel like it doesn't matter how tight or loose I have them, they feel loose and I get mad wheelbite. Can you recommend any brand that's tried and true by you? I'm at a complete loss and any insight helps.

[@localjoe]

i'm only 5'9 but if you like tight bushings micky papa has a company i think it's called hard luck bushings maybe? but he has super tight trucks

[@Dfort_]

This dude said coach frank 🤣🤣🤣

[@dripsonice413]

Maurio trying to make Joe feel good about pivoting or powersliding a frontside flip: “I don’t really think I’m really doing them all the way around” “Lowkey you are” “yEa” *Pops insanely high and lands most beautiful frontside flip known to man*

[@igetitlitsoicansit2950]

your gonna want to buy some resistance bands and do some hip flexor strengthening.. it will make you pick up your knees higher with much less effort. youll actually notice the effect of them getting stronger in about 2 sessions. highly suggest

[@jacobjanikowski]

I though the words in the thumbnail said something else 😂

[@isaiahskates6587]

nice job

[@49skate]

I think I never saw Reynolds do a kf fs tailslide...

[@ryanmogar4580]

What shoes is Mario wearing

[@jcooksey19]

Tre’s bro

[@fedorsmirnovmusic]

5:52 so funny! hate when the shit happens))

[@ashermoment]

Yo is the giveaway gonna be on like insta cuz I have no socials except KZbin but I’m subbed to both u guys

[@ZayProdigy]

Please make a how to kickflip like zach doelling

[@Grant.M]

Since jumping is your weakest point with flip tricks, train your hip flexors flexibility/strength and youll hardly struggle getting the hang time with any flip trick

[@luisogpr]

every tryyyy

[@quentinrenet3188]

You make me Dream I try to re skate again but its so hatd to find time between work kids .. what is your secrets ?? I want to skate all day long it what make me good and with à better mind

[@memecreator7064]

I want the board please

[@psquareds4673]

*mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[@LotkaVolterra]

To anyone struggling with "flicking later," slow your pop down. You'd be surprised how much your back foot dictates what your front foot does. A proper pop does not need to be aggressive and fast. Just slow it down to a cartoonish level and see what happens.

[@knyghtryder3599]

Please do hardflip

[@GRAYTRON5000]

Face your shoulders forward and leave them there. You’ll only need to spin your legs. Good luck 😊

[@hofx666]

I think you just talk too much in between attempts and not being consistent. Also it almost seems like your not even really trying to land it. This stuff doesn’t come easy, over thinking and talking about it is definitely not gonna help.

[@sammy-whirl8500]

Trick seems impossible at times

[@gottiic6529]

You need to go faster

[@ohohyeahohyeahohyeah]

dude. lose 10-15 pounds and ull fix all ur skateproblems. i had the same issue.

[@joshuadansby2874]

1000% true. 15-25 pounds minimum. The saying goes "easier to change a man's religion than to change a man's diet"

[@bruce_daddy]

hey man, when he landed his frontside flip it seemed effortless also in the sense that he seemed less tense. i noticed both of you were mic'd up but when you pop you're tensing up your core and it's keeping your motions from being fluid i think. i kept hearing you go "HUHN *pop* uhhhh" so if you see this try being mindful of how much tension you're holding in your mid section, maybe you can prevent this bad habit from progressing

[@MickyThunderV]

I noticed too😄 Put that Energy in the jump and not the voice

[@supergreenthatcheeify4305]

YOOOOO THISS! One of my problems I have when I skate is that I hold my breath too long… breathe my boy.
