Pro Skater Teaches Me Nollie Flips! (Maurio McCoy)

Sub 2 Maurio's Channel - / @maurcoy
EXCLUSIVE Interview w/ Maurio - / exclusive-maurio-85954623
Today the dream of a pro skater teaching me a trick comes true. Maurio McCoy has amazing Nollie Flips and his tips really did help me realize where I'm going wrong with Nollie Flips. Maurio McCoy was an amazing teacher and even better skater so make sure you're subbed to his channel. Maurio McCoy's biggest Nollie Flip trick tip was to really push the nollie flip in front of you to make the flick easier. This Maurio McCoy tip made a lot of sense but I've got to practice Nollie Flips more to really get them.

Maurio is the man

[@aslanbc]

Maurio is such a great tutor... always positive and encouraging. Yet able to give the right criticism at the correct time. Great vid!

[@memorysometimers3067]

And it shows he was raised good and will make a great father.

[@deehaver1120]

It's so cool how Maurio is so nice to do this video. Really connects with the community

[@jeffreybarruga257]

1:08 Push forward and flick back was a really good tip👍 I had a hunch that was the correct way to do any nollie/fakie trick but for someone to put it out there actually solidified it in my trick memory

[@Ty-ye8rd]

I’ve see a lot of “trick tips” and never heard that one. It makes so much since though. Bringing the board to your flicking foot. What makes your videos so much better, is your learning as you go. Most skaters learn a trick, and then try to give the tips. Then the tip becomes “pop and flick” Only recently, have people started talking about the role the pop foot has. Everyone focuses on the flick foot. Now I’m going to go try nose manual flip out. Pushing the board to my back ft, and not trying so hard to flip it.

[@okmugen]

just noticed yung wavy was filming!

[@skatelife2013]

Work on your nollies and switch ollies first. Make sure you got them on lock and popped well. Cant expect to get nollie flips consistent if your foundation is weak.

[@masonyang6571]

Maurio is great with explaining things. I've seen his santa cruz vids. awesome in detailing his technique. amazing that you got him on. kudos

[@peachwhite7404]

it's good watching you progress

[@joshuadansby2874]

Sick bro! Maurio is awesome & nice guy being patient while giving detailed instructions.

[@ofejivigappolilloc9960]

🔥🔥🔥 Yes! Thanks for doing this!

[@JTENJOI380]

This is perfect timing, I was fighting to land a nollie flip on flat for like an hour straight before I could even land a sketchy one yesterday and here you are with the exact help I needed 🤘😂

[@legoguy23451]

feels like maurio has such a consummate knowledge of his tricks, makes me think none of this came easy to him, regardless of how effortless it looks now. inspires me to work for what i want.

[@n3vrr_372]

Forreal

[@luiscandray6249]

So sick joe glad to see u progressing as a youtuber❤️

[@bartoloesculapio7962]

This is so good, Mauro is such a good teacher!

[@NawfsideRome]

Been slightly bummed to skate the last few months after a wrist injury. This lil series with Maurio has me hyped to get back outside today! Stay grinding, Joe! I'm gonna go learn nollie flips this week, been chasing that trick for too long lol

[@koj9654]

Great vid. Congrats

[@francisbergeron4785]

Good job man! Ill try that for sure!

[@SatraSkate]

What a great teacher

[@Donny_filmz]

damn it finally happened! sickkkk! maurio seems like the nicest dude!

[@maga_skater4207]

That was sick Joe.. keep climbing brother..

[@EdGarnham]

Maurio is a great teacher

[@anthonymangia8890]

Hell yeah Joe, this is so awesome!

[@jerryboy5876]

That's sick you got an actual pro gratz love the channel.

[@over40texasskater817]

Great tips

[@cjchavez19]

So I havent landed a nollie flip yet but my attempts do look similar to a lot if you first attempts in this video. This was very encouraging and the tips i think will help me get them soon. Thank you sir.

[@cohngo]

Same, I always thought to myself ' damn I just can't jump off my nollie flips ' but watching this it just gives me hope cause my case is exactly the same as Joe's is. Actually got me hyped to put in some more effort and finally get them down, one of my dream tricks for sure

[@gottiic6529]

Congratulations joe this is sick af

[@sasaprodanic3785]

Wow,nice crew,MM is great guy

[@jeffli480]

This is awesome!!!

[@alexfabricio7964]

Bros, nollie flip is the same as fakie flip cause u have to use your other hemisphere of your brain to do so.... Sooo, train your other hemisphere to make nollie and switch tricks easier.... That is the main key I use

[@samplefabres]

the way he "mmMMm" in every attempt jajaja

[@donswanick237]

great video

[@kevlar_87]

Dang that park looks so fun!

[@robertblackmore703]

Nice one dude.

[@MickyThunderV]

Maurio fav skater!

that's dope, congrats! even though I learned it months ago, I still can't get it consistently, that's a tricky one

[@Eduardo_Badal]

Thank you and @maurcoy for being able to do this for people!🙌

[@jaciobe]

You got one!

[@PooomWorld]

Thanks maurio And Local Joe for the board... 😀😎

[@lennyeacuvetto8146]

What helped me alot too is putting my front foot in the pocket not flat. It helps with the tipping point

[@ConnorMcSkaten]

So sick you got to do a video with him!!

[@matthewdykes8328]

How did you get Maurio, just come right out and ask him via message/comment on KZbin? I was super-psyched when he went pro a couple years back and the Santa Cruz guys surprised him with his deck. Not to mention such a work horse when it comes to powering through and getting the trick.-similar to someone else comment about him explaining his approach, I have seen that work ethic in some of the Santa Cruz posts (product challenge, etc), and more recently when he was skating with Asta on Tom’s channel.

[@LOLATTEH]

One thing to do too. Practice just doing switch flips. Learn where to put your weight. For me that made it easier and now I feel like I can pop my nollie and switchflips as high as my regular kickflips. Also try and put more of your foot on the flicking foot too. That really helped me get good nollie and switch flips. But remember everyone is different and has different ways of thinking and doing things.

[@d_trick89]

Something to just point out, besides the shoulders as he mentions, but because you are nervous, you aren’t popping hard enough, so your front foot is staying in the way. If you give it more confidence for sure you can land it. I’m also just at 10 mins so maybe you figure it out at the end.

[@d_trick89]

If I had waited 5 for minutes I would have seen that they cover what I said, but explained it differently. 😂

[@matthewdykes8328]

Agreed. If press down with the front foot until you are “jumping off the ground,” you would get that pop and more leverage for getting the trick off the ground. Still, nice work in front of one of the best currently laying it down for a big team!

[@quentinrenet3188]

Awesome video as usual ! Can you ask the secret against twisted ankle ?? I re skate after 10 years and my level was going back and in two month I did 2 big ankle injury and know i loosed my confidense...

[@nightmarereject]

I used to have nollie and switch mob flips pretty good. So trying to relearn them the proper way not kicking down has been tough.

[@antwinewarren6283]

Met Maurio years ago at stone cliffe

[@jasonharris5201]

You are one lucky guy, getting to skate with Maurio in a empty park. Well he has one the best kickflips in the game.

[@Richykitty]

I landed a decent Nollie flip today thanks to y’all 🤝

[@gottiic6529]

The way i learned nollie flips was put your back foot in the kickflip position and kind of think your gonna nollie and let your foot slip out you will start getting that rotation way better

[@pelunians]

Got dizzy with the cam movement.😊 cool though. Thanks for this.

[@shanewilliams6077]

did you come out to cali?

[@makylavender]

we can hear him charge up!!! at : 15:38 skateboarding is not easy ! keep shredding! 🔥

[@proverbialpillock]

hhhhnnnnnnnnngggghhhhh

[@thanevakarian9762]

What’s the backstory of this channel? Did you start skating late, or trying to relearn? This is good.

[@Dfort_]

It’s all in the shoulders

[@lightOUTlouisville]

🙌

[@MallGrabSkates]

Same exact dynamics as fakie kick flip only in switch

[@Sktdez]

Tell Mccoy I skated his Santa cry deck and it was in my top 10 favorite decks I ever skated

[@maga_skater4207]

I just set up his donut dog pro model twin tail VX the other day and that board is perfect

[@lIPLUG]

Ago anyone knows what shoes Maurio wearing, never seen em b4

[@normanl.6891]

The Keen ramps link triggered my anti-virus app.

[@localjoe]

Lol weird just go to their site through Google and use the same code

[@playtimet.v7342]

I think nollie then kick flip. It works.

[@kwote]

I noticed when you finally got it you flicked at the correct angle. All the ones that half flipped were too off the center of the nose.

[@josevanloo3442]

8:52 ok so no one noticed the classic mistake here? Wow

[@mikebeech942]

👍

[@dataghost2307]

@ 2:05 watch that leaf get out of Maurio's way.

[@tinormous-road2gains13]

Lets gooooo

[@LumbOfmyGOD]

From my point of view i think you are getting too tense by the time you pop and you hold your breath ,try relaxing and breathing normaly maybe will help , Cheers good job on getting one!

[@sk8mafia214]

He does that a lot

[@LumbOfmyGOD]

@@sk8mafia214 True I noticed that too,took me way too long to notice in my skateboarding too.The thing is we have to understand that Force is different than Power,we dont have to force our body and by doing that we produce less power,remember relax ,breathe and apply power at the correct moments without tensing up

[@Hexquisitee]

yooo is that wavys board in that back???? ) 0:30

[@jowyqc]

yes look up wavy last vids

[@Donny_filmz]

would be sick to see a new grind or slide like a back lip, front feeble, back smith or back tail or something like that. 50-50 a down rail challenge? front tail flip? spice this vanilla latte up!

[@lukeparsons4965]

I can pop and level my nollies more like Mario does, but it’s like I can’t reach the flick

[@hunter_7v]

come on man please just do a video on laser flips i been waiting for years

[@skullknightsfanboy8991]

Is wavy the camera man?

[@jowyqc]

yes

[@b0gzie]

You make this cute little hnnng sound nearly every time you do a trick. Makes me think one aspect of skating that maybe deserves a few videos and some professional perspectives is how the breathe while doing tricks. I know with working out the exhale is often timed with the eccentric part of the rep. Wonder if thinking about this would add more pop and explosiveness to a trick?

[@matthewbrown770]

Keep shoulders level and straight. Dropping your front shoulder every time you squat

[@Lockinsign]

That would be so sick, varial heels are a thorn in my side, actually, I’m just gonna devote today to em i’m gonna record myself sit down and fucking nail one. Pardon my French, but I am passionate lol, that would be so sick if I landed it today , I’m 23 going on a decade of skating, Ive got sexy kick flips, good, Varials, and decent tres but varial heels I’m coming for your ass. Can regular, fakie, nollie & switch flip even but can’t varial heel??? Nah today is the goddamn day.

[@cbass801]

Taking notes cause my nollie flips are garbage!!!

[@kwote]

Think fakie switch Ollie.

[@woodandwheels]

fakie switch ollie?? whats this🤣

[@kwote]

@@woodandwheels It’s just a mindset for better Nollies. Every switch trick works the same as regular. If you understand how a good fakie ollie works, you should be able to carry that over to your nollies/nollie tricks.

[@restr103]

Are those fake dunks?

[@localjoe]

Nope

[@gavinhislop]

Have you found yourself staring into the darkness? Have you got burning questions about the enormity of existence? Do you wonder about your place within humanity? Just think: WWPRD?

[@blackdream3201]

Do my eyes lie to me or im seing @YUNGWAVY doing the camera work?? haha. Anyways, great video Joe! Love seing your progress every day. PD.: that last nollie flip was looking good 🙌🙌

[@eyeyoosh3117]

too much talking just try the trick

[@octo2228]

im pretty sure @YUNGWAVY was filming because the griptape of the filmer was his and there was a local joe instagram post that mention him while at chevy chase

[@jowyqc]

he was ye
