The Secret to Frontside Flips

[@jasielcalixto]

I really apreciate your tip for the fs flip. I trying that one for the first time at 41 years old. Thanks.

[@headon434]

thats amazing man.

[@fazzyy13]

that's some real sh*t bro, keep it up! #sk8ordie

[@fd_skate]

Cool. I am 41 as well, and I am going to tackle the fs flip the coming week. I watched this video for the first time today and I hope that it will be of some help! How did your fs flip turn out? :-)

[@jasielcalixto]

magnus soderbom I still haven't done it. I landed the the three flip at 42 but the fs flip turned out something almost impossible for me. If you wish, check the three flip saga on my channel. Good luck!

[@fd_skate]

***** Cool, I will definitely check that out. I just landed my first 3 flip a couple of weeks ago. I recon that the 3 flip is actually easier than the fs flip. I also put out some content now and then, check it out if you have a boring moment in life. 😅

[@Zachary1234567890Mon]

man what you said about the shoulders makes so much sense.. can't wait to try it out tomorrow

[@BabyJay]

right

[@fazzyy13]

[@1910shadowwolf]

Dionysus im gonna try it today lol

[@OllyRobertss]

I watched this... 30 minutes later... I got frontside flips!

[@heuksalman]

Are u a fkin genius?

[@rayvindawkins5304]

Dang!!! I wish I could learn them that fast!!! My board keeps flipping all over the place. Probably because my front foot is flicking in the wrong spot

[@alextorres5795]

same

[@raeesusman2026]

Yes, amazing tips John and I'm looking forward for the varial heel tips!! Another great vid!

[@JohnHill]

+Raees Usman thank you dude!!

[@dereklewis5192]

I haven’t been able to frontside flip for a year and I literally learned it 20 seconds after watching this wtf buddy you’re the goat

[@TheTrigzHD]

this tip really helped. none other helped me visualize and focus on what to do better than this video so thanks. that was the hardest thing I've ever done. ever. it didn't come easy to me. I was outside for 4 hours straight today and I finnally got it. I got a couple it was getting easier and easier the more tired I got haha. stoked but I want to have them on lock

[@quinnmccoy379]

I’m trying to get better at flat ground while in quarantine

[@FoVic]

[@smoothwater11]

It’s the perfect time for skaters

[@fishthehuman]

im liking this in 2016 cause im so close to getting this trick back now im keen to try again tommorow.. so good at tips john

[@AntonioSkater123]

I really like these man I can do a lot of tricks but I feel like my style really needs work so these help a lot thanks

[@stankcutty6414]

that 3 block looks so easy and small till i realize its a 6 stair

[@fazzyy13]

right..

[@doloresberry3144]

Jabrou14 6 is still pretty small...

[@not6405]

6 stairs are not that scary

[@brianaz3587]

same lol

[@brianaz3587]

@@not6405 fr ? i cant ollie 5 :(

[@Mike_Nowlan]

this makes a lot of sense because i was trying to fs flip over a flatbat on a bank to bank but my fs flips a really muska but i have a really good kickflip so i was grying to do a solid 90 degree kickflip and keep rotating. thanks John!!

[@xThExGrEaTeSTx]

The trick i mastered.my fav trick ever.can do anything out of a frontside flip.frontside double flips,frontside flip switch mannys,frontside flip indys,a weird front side 360 flip.mastered all those and more.

[@Stin-loom]

I can't frontside flip yet but this totally worked for front heels. Great tips!

[@kingghidorah6655]

Well, I don't think there's another way to do fs heels...

[@giovanniperea8731]

How they look now 7 years later

[@Jwynn5223]

@@kingghidorah6655you just do them 90 degrees same thing that’s how

[@carlty9222]

John I reallly appreciate all the effort you put in your videos and i like them very much :) this one was very helpful, fs flips I had them down, but with the tips you gave, the form is so much better now :B keep doing these kinds of videos :) if you want you could maybe think about one where you cover hardflips and give advanced tips:) thank you and have a great day. Greetings from Germany!

[@eleven61]

Im going skating today and I'm landing my first frontside flip. The other day i decided to give it one good commited try and got pretty close and close after the next couple attempts. Just cant wrap my mind around the trick, but i think this video helped me a lot. I haven't skated in 2 days and I'm feeling that extra motivation today that usually gets me to land something new and to push my limits. This video helped a lot with that motivation too. Sorry for long post will come back with results. Confident i will land my first one today after years of envy. P.S i think you actually got that quote from me ;)

[@graff5274]

Thaank you for doing this tut man!!! Idk y i have such trouble w this trick. In my opinion its one of the dopest lookin tricks of all time lol i want it!

[@martinachenbach2124]

It's way easier to do them switch

[@agnestual1339]

why

[@MrLumpy-ei2yg]

+Martin Achenbach that's actually true haha

[@JohnHill]

+Martin Achenbach some tricks are like that! i'm better at switch tre flips.

[@martinachenbach2124]

switch heels for sure xD

[@Jonderlei]

+Martin Achenbach yeah its like that for me too.my regular ones are garbage

[@MrPDTaylor]

I love Chad Muska style.

[@paulmontano8821]

[@Donkeyshowjoe]

Bullshit

[@mihajlolukic506]

[@sydbrown310]

The crazy part is this makes more sense for me than tutorials explaining it for the first time

[@joonasaartoala7471]

Thanks man just landed my first fs flip!

[@Unbornchikkenable]

Funny! I always does a hard flip with a 180 body turn and it’s a fs flip too, but felt just wrong. Never was able to stop hardfliping until I tried to put my front foot just under the nose as you described in your video. Switch it doesn’t happen to me, but regular it was kinda weird and not the way I wanna do fs flip... thx for that!

[@PhotoTech99]

great tips , and outro lol

[@emsee8080]

[@williamperez2508]

John, best fs flip trick tip vid I've seen on youtube. Question... Your back foot looks square on the tail, but you said to put it in the left/right pocket. So should I square center and push outward like a front shove? Thanks!

[@pshhhmoneyy4931]

YEAH I have watched this video like 5 times and finally I took something from this video and it was the way u pop. Thank you very much. Have u done a hard flip trick tip?

[@stevenm9192]

2:05 best grip art ever

[@JohnHill]

+Steven Maupin right?

[@chrism3144]

Damn my frontside flips were always Muska flips and I could only land them one footed because of how awkward it flipped but this helped me so much

[@hansgimurtu5734]

This helped a lot

[@ELAMINTsk8ENT]

This helped I don't usually comment on videos

[@greezmonk13]

Thanks man, I was just working on this.

[@mattbellingshausen6584]

Yo John I've watched this trick tip and many others, this video really helped but I still can't figure out how to get my left foot (I'm regular) out of the way, any tips on how to flick my foot out of the way? Thanks. Love the videos keep it up

[@A.キラ]

[@JohnHill]

+Akira S. you're welcs!

[@sergiodiego28]

[@rockybalboa4394]

Chad's look the best.

[@nelsonvontitfuk1471]

I kinda like doing it muska-ish. Anyone else? Not a full on musk flip, more like a hardflip. It feels great. Anyone?

[@TauPack2222]

Nice vids dude i sub, keep going!!

[@FiatLumix]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@agnestual1339]

[@brucexlee2537]

[@3DSK8ER]

the reynolds video is how i learned them too haha

[@lanxtube3322]

thumbs up 👍

[@LoupiOlorel]

only way i can do em proper is on banks for some reason, on flat i tend to catch it in wheelbite modus :p (so i kinda gave up) guess i need to get back to work!

[@tylertilghman7290]

Whats wrong with frontside flips in the "muska" way??? In my opinion the muska way looks much steezier

[@fjg8340]

Absolutely 💯

[@readkauppinen1814]

Ayo this makes sense thx homes

Chad muska ish love it

[@hollow7777]

[@colebimer3956]

James Skates boards think of it as a kickflip flick out while doin a frontside

[@beatzep8169]

i like him he is funny

[@joeychad5787]

I can frontside but like I do the hardflip way where the board goes in between my legs 😂

[@tweaking_off_the_mid]

I can only do these on smooth ground idk

[@chad4853]

Great video but do more slow motion and narration over the footage.

[@FoVic]

1st day on front side flip I’ll be back hopefully

[@FoVic]

Ebcu yeah I can land it up a bank at my local skate park but it’s hard to get it consistently on flat

[@FoVic]

Ebcu for me it’s easier l

[@nicpete492]

I can backside flip easy as pie but i cant frontside to save my life lol

[@iucxyfn4492]
