The Professional Secret To 360 Flips | Chris Cole, Chris Joslin & Appleyard

What better way to learn The Secret To 360 flips than from the masters themselves? Legendary Professional Skateboarders and 360 flippers Chris Joslin, Chris Cole and Mark Appleyard give you their tutorial on how to land a 360 flip. Rather than showing you how to do them on flat ground 1,000 times, here are some iconic 360 flips that they have done throughout their historic careers. We utilized footage from Etnies, Flip Skateboards, Zero Skateboards, Element Skateboards, 411 Video Magazine, Alien Workshop and more. Stay tuned next Saturday for another epic video!
If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out Chris Joslin’s “100 Different Ways To Do A 360 Flip” as well as “Chris Joslin’s Unseen War on El Toro 20 Stair”, right here on STORIED Skateboarding. Also, tune in to Chris Cole Vs Nick Holt tonight at BATB 13 Finals Night (Battle At The Berrics 13) on The Berrics. Tyler Peterson also squares off against Jamie Griffen.

Mark for me the best skater of all time. Style, tricks, lifestyle all there. His parts still hold up

[@storied_skateboarding]

Agreed!!

[@toneohm]

Sure as hell had style.. and a nice trick selection.. nollie flip/heel into crooks or noseslides.. he did that best 👌

[@ColonelFlickage]

Interesting perspective, he’s a legend for sure

[@technodrome]

His nollie flip back 50 down clipper is one of the best looking skateboard tricks of all time.

[@Thedude897]

I skated from 2002-2005 everyday and I could never get them. This sounds stupid but back then I was still on dialup internet and didn't have access to quality hd videos like this. My main problem was that quality of skate videos I was pirating on limewire were like 240p and I tried Chris Cole method on many videos but it would be blurry pixels. Now I'm getting back into skating this weekend for the first time two decades later and I have the confidence that I will land tre flip within the next year thanks to modern technology and videos like this! A lot has evolved in the skateboarding industry over the last 20 years that I have missed but man I'm glad to be back.

[@storied_skateboarding]

🙌🙌🙌

[@c1dtl39]

Power to you brother! I skated during that time as well

[@pressureflipin1992]

I learned them about 6 months into skating but only because I had an acquaintance, I wouldn't even really call him a friend, just some dude who would randomly show up to our spot and he could do 360 flips really well for the time but he wouldn't show anybody how to do them lol until one day he just says, it's like a varial flip but you just flick harder and that just opened up my mind and I learned them a week later. Funny Cause I knew so many people who were so so good but couldn't do 360 flips and they skated years before me and could do other great things. This was the mid 90s and I knew a guy who could switch hardflip 180, in 1996! That was nuts for the time but he never got 360 flips. I never understood it lol.

[@fallofshadows2209]

I know that feeling well. I had tre flips on lock one summer in high school (probably 2007), but then lost them when I wasn't skating all the time. For whatever reason they were a "use it or lose it" trick for me.

[@pressureflipin1992]

@fallofshadows2209 front side flips were a use it or lose it for me. I had em down in the 90s and then magically one day, I couldn't them anymore!

[@DarthIke77]

Interesting video. Agree with all of them but I’d add that with regular practice and repetition you actually build muscle that makes the pop/scoop easier. Once you start having enough power to pop a little more vertically the way it rotates will actually make them much easier to catch. I’m out of shape and practice but I used to have them so wired it was like doing an Ollie. Always thought that little extra power/verticality in the scoop is what made them so consistent for me.

[@storied_skateboarding]

🙌🙌🙌

[@Bb186fo]

Appleyard one of the steeziest 360 flips ever. Cole 360 flip Rincon and Wallenberg Joslin did Davis gap and though he doesn't count it, we all know he had the El Toro one! Couldn't ask for a better selection to represent that trick!

[@Bb186fo]

It's like an unwritten rule you film skate tricks from the front, but I actually believe 360 flips look best filmed from behind! Think of Antwuan Dixon's famous one from Baker 3. My favorite 360 flip ever I believe, and perfect example, is in Baker 2g pissdrunx section, Erik Ellington is skating benches filmed telephoto. He does my favorite 360 flip of all time! Appleyard has an amazing one as shown here as do Joslin and Cole! Great video as usual!

[@Owlfluence]

I’ve always been the opposite, I think the kicking foot is more important than the scooping foot for this trick. I tried the scoop way learning from Janoski trick tip. But the scoop just made it awkward, so I do back foot like a Pop Shovit. I go for popping it like a Pop Shovit to get more height and flick like a variel flip. Once I realized that I focused on getting my 360 Pop Shovits on lock first. Then after four months I finally got 360 flips solid on flat. I haven’t tried it off or down anything though, so hopefully I build confidence to try it off stuff.

[@storied_skateboarding]

[@dudleygray3088]

I'd be interested in seeing a clip of your tre flip some time. Not to hate. But definetly want to see if you actually do the trick a little differently, or perhaps you just interpret/ visualise it differently. I'm sure you have a solid tre tho dude ✌️

[@steezzyv2470]

Yo that's crazy how joslin said h He learned how to 360 flip off of stuff before he could do it on flat because thats literally how it was for me with frontside flips tho...i couldn't frontside flip on flat but i could frontisde flip down stairs sets and shit....idk its just always been hard for me trying to do the full front 180 with a flip in flat ...its like a basically do slow motion type of frontside flips ....i cant do them fast like most people so throwing them off of stuff gives me enough time to get the board full 180 with the flip....and its was funny how people always thought i was a beast doing frontside flips down big stair sets like it was nothing but little did they know it was so much easier for me to do it down big stair sets than it was on flat...

[@doctorworm3735]

This is the only proper video i could find where they talk about it springing up to your feet. Even pros tutorials they just throw them. That is why everyone does the nyjah stink foot tre flip now. Tim o Connor did them proper. The Appleyard tre they show is perfect. He says about the feet too close together, but that is where the spring comes from. Your feet have the pressure between them and should be trying to "indian burn" your board. That creates the tension so that when you pop it springs up to your feet like the appleyard tre flip. That is the proper way to do them. Joslin throws them and DOES NOT spring them up when he pops. He can do them, but that is why his look the way they do vs Appleyards. If you want style like Appleyard you cant just throw it, you have to pop that sucker up to your feet. Look how Appleyard caught it so quickly. He doesnt have time to stink foot them unless he does them off of a bump as by the time it flips, it should be right there already by your foot still moving upward. You pop them up to your feet and smash them back down, you dont float and just throw it underneath you. Not if you want REAL style. That stink foot garbage doesnt look good and those of us who know how to pop our sh*t know the difference and can spot it REAL quick. If you did not catch the tre flip above the top step it DOES NOT COUNT. I dont care if it is 14 stairs. It doesnt count. It is akin to street early grab. UNACCEPTABLE!

[@kevinandrewsphoto]

You couldn’t have picked 3 better skaters to talk about 360 flips. Cole & Joslin are responsible for the biggest / most iconic tre flips ever done. And Mark imo has the best looking tre flip of all time

I had a friend in the mid 90s that was constantly preaching to scoop your back foot for 360 flips cause this was at a time when Everybody was flicking their front foot really hard to make them flip and i just didn't get what he was saying till many years later, Cause I was pretty comfy flicking the shit out of them and I had em down stairs so I didn't think twice about them. I really wish I would taken the time to learn the scooping motion.

Tre on gaps is not tre on flat though. You have to catch it about 20-30 degrees short of full rotation and bring your feet with it and line your hips up to absorb the impact correctly.
