How to PRESSURE FLIP - Tips and Tricks | Shred School

[@oDTRT]

Pressure flip actually looks cool

[@claysoggyfries]

90s skaters will hate you if you try to do one

[@PHeMoX]

@@claysoggyfries Actually not true. It's more like the current day generation that hates them. A lot of people skating in the 90s would have learned pressure flips as they were pretty common in games of skate. The fact BATB doesn't allow them doesn't really mean jack. Just like how no-comply tricks have made a comeback in recent years, but in some ways never really disappeared anywhere.

[@Bravo-Too-Much]

I love pressure flips. Excellent for a heavier guy like myself. A lot of guys hating on them can’t do them anyways. Going even further, you’ll see a lot of haters that can hardly do anything on a board period. To me if a board flips or spins in anyway, it’s cool and I don’t care how you do it.

[@shuvitskate504]

One of the things that really helped with learning impossibles for me WAS with one foot on the ground, but it's important that you do your best to emulate the exact speed the board needs to wrap, just to get a feel for it. I think the main issue most people have is that they let it wrap so slowly that it doesn't even feel like an impossible.

[@tofs2298]

Totally legit tricks. Joslin won Berrics X with a pressure flip and a backside 180 pressure flip

[@fd_skate]

I have always avoided trying to learn pressure flips because of the "need" for tighter trucks, so I appreciate the tips for managing the trick with loose trucks. Maybe it's time to give that trick a few attempts? Good video! :-)

[@mr7clay]

I did way too many of these when I skated. Off the nose for much better control, back foot just a little off-center and scoop forward as much as to the side. Speed and popping hard helps, you can easily get these high enough to catch, get up curbs and stuff.

[@hulawife]

this can also double as a tech deck tutorial

[@GunPoor]

Pressure flips were so taboo in the mid-90's, I could never get a straight answer from anyone what they even were. For the longest time, I couldn't comprehend what the flip was. This is honestly the first real explanation I've seen of what makes one. So here's my stupid question: is there such a thing as a heel-side pressure flip? like instead of digging your toe down in there and scooping, you shuck it forward with your heel?

[@tofs2298]

yes there is and it is called "inward pressure flip", "frontside pressure flip" or - in recent years - "pressure hardflip". Nate Sherwood does even 360 pressure hardflips!

[@PHeMoX]

I know the comment is ancient, but for those wondering... you pretty much have a pressure flip variation for every normal flip trick that exists. There are even some underflip hybrids that are just crazy difficult too, although most people would probably consider those 'ugly' tricks.

[@crimson1718]

When you were talking about loose trucks and being balanced , do you have to lean backwards (towards your heels) more and then as you pop putting more weight on the pocket?

[@Hunterpizzeck]

3:23 is a pretty good pressure flip man. You see how it was totally your back foot & not any flick of your front foot.

[@razuse1982]

Hey Rad Rat nice job on the trick tip and good detail on describing what it feels like to do the trick on both loose and tight trucks.

[@von_spencer5465]

You're killing it rad rat! Stoked to see you getting more subscribers.

[@sanlanchris3004]

Hey Rat, love the videos! I found your channel around 2 months back and you motivated me to pick up the board again after not slating for many many years lol. I'm now 25 and I stopped when I was around 16-17 skating stopped being cool in England for some reason and everyone became so called "roadmen" look it up you'll get some laughs out of it. So yeah my question is, do you think Aaron Kyro and a lot of these revive skaters deserve pro status? Like they are no where even close to 90's early 2000's pros. Not even in the same category as Rodney Mullen for example. The two couldn't be further apart.

[@IAmTheBestMang]

Comparing any skater to Mullen is dumb IMO. Kyro used to be very very good. Go watch his 2005 part, some of the things he did were insane. That being said, he has slowed down over the years. Should he be pro now? I don't know, but I do know that he would be at least flow for some bigger brands (IIRC He used to be on Bones, Primitive and Royal(?)).

[@chop_8]

AGREED

[@kanescrimes4848]

That was clean pressure flip by the way.

[@Gu1tarZer0]

funny, I've been thinking about trying to learn this one lately

[@HotBoxTrucking]

there is talk that girl uses super cheap wood and only a few companies using the best available, such as real (ha), krooked and a few others. definitely worth checking into

[@christianvasquez487]

but real and krooked get soggy pop quickly

[@christianvasquez487]

theyre both deluxe distrib.

[@Bravo-Too-Much]

Chocolate actually uses better wood than Girl. Plan B, Santa Cruz, Powell, Enjoi, and even Birdhouse seem to be the most consistent boards I’ve used as far as pop goes for sure. Girl and Element have always seemed to feel soggy pretty quick. Powell and Santa Cruz are my favorite boards after years of trying multiple decks from the same companies to ensure any pros and cons weren’t flukes.

[@kanescrimes4848]

I always thought tight trucks made pressure flips easier but didn't know if it was all in my head. The other day I watched something with Koston where he say's the exact same thing, so I'm thinking it is actually legit....lol...I was typing this while the video was playing and I just heard you mention the tight trucks...so I digress.

[@robertwalker1114]

When I try a pressure flip the board does the rotation but only flips half way any tips?! Plz and thank u 🙏

[@ps5622]

super cool tip! I noticed you've had that board for ever! super sick graphics though, I ve got the same board in black actually :)

[@timurichk]

you only started skating it recently bc of his knee injury.

[@akaWhisp]

Does this trick help you learn impossibles? Seems like a similar motion.

[@donteven70]

akaWhisp Yea. some people learn impossible to learn pressure flip. and others learn pressure flips to learn impossibles

[@CarInMyAss]

It help me a lot

[@RetropolitanReviews]

Hey! Can you tell me from what company this board is (that cool green one with the panda)? I've been out of skating for a while (programmer, guitar player, retro game player = If you break your arm, you're done), so I maybe don't recognized the pretty decks of the last time. But this artwork is just fine. Thank you very much for your videos. Nice greetings from Hamburg/Germany Bazti

[@ypsito]

Retropolitan - Reviews von gestern it's an enjoi, I don't know what model

[@2bin]

Would you say the beginning pop motion for a pressure flip is like the impossible (with no wrap)?

[@jonathanjohnson7384]

tips to the instructor; you don't pop the pressure causes half of the motion, the other half is the shuvit. also catch left foot first or be prepared to manual or eat concrete

[@random_emo_kid3227]

What gear you skating my man right now I'm skate thunder trucks nyja he huston bl/blu rictas and 8.25 revive broken deck

[@Skip_Jaymz]

thank you ive been waiting for this one :)

[@michaelc_abbey]

I can only land them one footed. I don't know how to scoop the board without my back foot ending up on the ground. Any advice? It's weird because I can land impossibles and tre flips which involve scooping. Thanks!

[@komoonkh]

I have the same problem. I scoop, it does perfect flip, catching it with front foot, but my back foot just cant jump with it

[@michaelc_abbey]

@@komoonkh Did you ever get it? I haven't yet : (

[@be3rryy]

Try get comfortable with pop shuv it it similar tu pressure flip 😉

[@aoklio6603]

do project 8 review

[@purplegill10]

He is, it's in the works but he said it would take a while

[@Garf2O]

ps2 version was better than the ps3

[@knyghtryder3599]

How is it not related to anything? Pop shuvit is basically a horizontal pressure flip. I have trouble thinking of what distinguishes a pressure flip, other than not having a clear ollie/flick...... Which almost every trick lacks aside ollie , kick/heelflip and 180's , even 360's tend to be back foot emphasized

[@kylancarl3730]

you make Those look cool

[@big3ye378]

What is the trick called that spins like a varial flip but you underflip with your back toe? They are super easy and I've been mistakenly calling them pressure flips. Thanks Rad Rat you're a cool dude

[@TheMonkeynuts1]

Semi flip maybe

[@ellisdtrails420]

skate vid reviews maybe?

[@artnobel1735]

Question: Being a professional skateboarder requires serious stand-out talent, often pushing standards of progression that we've come to respect and admire in skateboarding. You've said you support youtube skateboarders in general. Without naming names, how do you feel about certain people saying they're "Pro" or being pro based purely on popularity, when their skill level is clearly no where near the level that other current rookie pros are at. Where do we draw the line? Can anyone be pro if they skate and make youtube videos?

[@exsuu]

pro aint about skill and whos the best is subjective. pro is about selling boards imo

[@danyoskott9690]

i watch thrasher, berrics and this now. fuckin awesome!

[@emanueleferrigno6315]

Great video. ..very informative. QUESTION: IS THE DARK SLIDE THE HARDEST STREET TRICK OF ALL TIME? I CAN COUNT ON ONE HAND HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY PULL THEM OFF CLEANLY.

[@nickprice540]

Dolphin flip please rad rat

[@davidpushesaskateboard]

Doing pressure tricks requires tightening your trucks past the point of sanity. Tic tacs are trashy. Don't do pressure flips, please.
