The KEYS to FLIPPING OUT!

In this video I showcase some of my favorite FLIP OUT tricks and give some TIPS along the way ! Flipping out of grinds/slides can take your ledge skating to the next level. Take it slow and have both the grind/slide trick DIALED, along with the flip trick DIALED before trying to put the two together to save you some headache! This type of skating is DIFFICULT, everyone learns at their own pace! Take your time, PRACTICE and be PATIENT!

It's so good when a true pro skater starts putting out content like this.

[@miguelmota5447]

I agree, it reminds me of early youtube, honesty, transparency, and trying to make the world better. thank you Tom.

[@808kicks2]

FR instead of annoying dudes like Dan corrigan,he has good content but he’s Uber annoying kinda a kook

[@miguelmota5447]

@@808kicks2 what i dont really enjoy is youtubers puting out content, instead of sharing stuff that are doing and making aliving of it, making content is for views, making videos u wanna share its for the people, i like dan but i defenitly understand what u mean.

[@anthonydandrea270]

Agreed, hopefully he puts all those other phonies out of business

[@MuzluPattes16]

@@miguelmota5447 Yes. I think that might be the reason why I get a nicer vibe watching tom. He is already a pro, but his youtube and twitch feels like something he does on the side. So he feels more like a skater dude that's sharing his experience. People that mainly do youtube have to put out content to make a living, and that causes click baits and stupid video ideas just for the sake of making a video. And they feel ingenuine.

[@SantaCruzSkateboards]

One thing about Tom he stays CONSISTENT 🔥🔥🔥

[@tomasta]

😊😊

[@amante104]

@@tomasta Random question; It's 2005 who would win in a game of skate down a 12 stair Bastien Salabanzi or Andrew Reynolds? Lol

[@MrHalahalaho]

I wish I was that consistent ☠️

[@amante104]

@Mad Circle Both of them are two of my favorites but I can see them both beating each other but yeah Bastien can get him to Skat definitely even if Reynolds wins. Since your familiar with both of them you definitely remember GvR(goofy vs regular) Bastien won it for the regular team lol. I think Chris Cole and Ryan Sheckler was there too. I wish Reynolds would have been in that one.

[@alexgets0girls]

How much did tom pay you for you to say that

[@staceyandhemi]

One thing that grabs my attention when I watch your videos, apart from the sheer talent and style you possess. Is how authentic you are, keep doing you bro! You've got a fan here in New Zealand 🤙

[@tomasta]

THANK YOU !

[@Azertyqwerty123]

So grateful you started making videos on youtube! Best insights and best trick tips/explanations as well ! Please keep being genuine and doing just you! Cheers from Baguette land

[@tomasta]

THANK YOU ! tricks are hard to explain but i do what i can haha

[@unpackyourbagpodcast9422]

1st. I'm so glad someone made a video about this. I've been trying to crook nollie flip out for years

[@civilenggggg]

The voice over addition was perfect...dudes getting good at these videos. Another thing that was key that maybe people missed is when Tom needed wax, hes not buttering up the top of the ledge, its the contact with the wheel base

[@tomasta]

good catch ! probably should of mentioned that in the vid as well...for slides, wax on the side of the ledge is more crucial !

[@SONNYSNOW_850]

Tom makes young skaters realize that even if you're pro you don't land tricks every try. I love it. I used to think pros were perfect and couldn't mess up and it really made me look down on myself.

[@MrMugampi]

No thank you, this has quickly become my favorite skateboard channel on KZbin 💯

[@tomasta]

i love to hear it ! THANKS for watching !

[@nikey373]

its so good to see a pro skater who needs his attempts like any other skater to land difficult tricks. :D Keep it up

[@posmaster22]

I'm glad a tech pro is talking details on how it's done. This would have helped me so much in my prime.

[@thinglizzy2718]

Tom I’ve bought 14 pairs of Es straight since you did the first unboxing video with Kelly. My plantar fasciitis feels so much better in them, especially Accels and Silos. So thank you for have a huge impact on my skateboarding. You literally sold me on Es for life. Keep ripping!!

[@tomasta]

Thats amazing man THANKS for the support ! you keep ripping as well !

[@andrewolivetreemixing]

The first legit good KZbin skateboarder. Finally!! Trick tips by someone that actually does the tricks well

[@MuzluPattes16]

Hey Tom, if you are thinking about making trick tips, please make sure to break down every small detail about the trick. Like how your front foot trying to go infront of you instead of stopping when it goes up can help with ollies. Or how thinking about an ollie before I flick a heelflip helps me do heelflips high. I am sure you have a lot of small details that you have learnt, but don't realize. If you could make videos with details like that. I think they would be very successful. For example I saw a video about fs360's and the guy said "I used to strugle, but I now try to look at my heels when turning my body and it helps me." I went out and landed a couple pivotless fs 360's. They may not work for everyone, but those details are what helps people.

[@lurkerlew2136]

cant really skate anymore due to tearing my ACL twice now skating, but still enjoy watching skate content. was following you on twitch already but have been noticing your youtube grind lately. love to see it. thanks tom.

[@tomasta]

ahh damn acl injuries are no joke, hope you get back on the board one day but thanks for watching and following me ! i appreciate it homie !

[@velouriumcamper0753]

I really like this video format, so dope to get insight into how you approach these tricks and the psychology behind it from veteran. This is my new favourite skate channel, keep up the great work.

[@tomasta]

THANKS man, i appreciate that !

[@thekyledebacker]

Amazing stuff man. Really puts pro level skill in perspective. Tom is seriously one of the best/most consistent skaters out so this is amazing to see. I honestly love the old school kind of bare bones style of this. We’re all open to whatever trick tips you put out man!

[@KenmeriCaptain]

hey Tom, just wanna say your vids have got me back on the board after 15yrs off. yesterday I landed two NBDs for me - backside heel and varial heel. thanks for the inspo, forgot how good it feels to land new shit.

[@tomasta]

love to hear it ! that is no easy task after all those years, congrats and have fun with it ! THANKS for watching

[@RollForever88]

Didn’t know you are a father Tom. Another one of life’s gifts in addition to skating 🙏

[@MattisTheCreator]

I remember seeing you skate in person for the first time, this was back in 2011. You were skating a ledge at 30th street station in Philly and it was either kick flip 50-50 or 50-50 kick flip out but from what i remember you were throwing them down one after another… I was just blown away watching you skate!

[@donnellwillis7926]

I just subscribe.... because of the speak at the end dude is real humble and appreciates his fans .....keep killing it Tom

[@marioortegask8]

It’s so crazy I landed my first flip out at a demo you were at. It happened to be 50-50 kickflip lol and you skated right past me as I did it. So hyped. You shred man.

Gotta love how clean these are too, and your doing them regular, switch, fakie, and nollie!

[@iamandycold]

Duuuuude another free tip! Thank you so much. I'm watching your video right now sitting in park and thanks to your tips I did bs smith flip out in a couple tries! Man I've been struggling with this trick for a good couple of months now i did it! 💪🏻

[@banksyofword]

Tom Asta downloads the tricks into his consciousness at night while he sleeps, then wakes up and just does them. When he falls or messes up it's on purpose to seem human. #ThereIsNoLearningCurve

[@tomasta]

🤣🤣🤣

[@golvellius6855]

I love how mellow you explain things thank you

[@robertblackmore703]

Tom, if you’re gonna do trick tips I’d love to see your nollie hardflip trick tip. I noticed your pop foot is way low on the board when you do them, like almost in the pocket. But you don’t seem to have trouble getting a good pop and clearly you have that trick on lock. Anything you can say about the flick motion, jump direction, weight distribution, and foot placement would be great.

[@tomasta]

nollie hard is one of my favs ! yup, most of my nollie tricks my foot is pretty deep in the nose, would love to explain that in a video ! THANKS !

[@SoshoallyUnfit]

I love that you reiterate the need for dialing in tricks before trying to do something harder with the trick. Also, I appreciate how you approach stairs, taking it one at a time (depending on the skill level). I'd love to see filming sessions (your approach to getting your trick without revealing your clips), kinda like what Nyjah does with Send Saturdays, but not like Nyjah. I personally am not a fan of his. Or tours of your sponsors factories, behind the scenes.

[@NickyLaurienzo]

Tom Asta is the goat! one day I will learn front tail kickflip out!

[@jamaljones5647]

I’m so glad you did flip outs first! Maybe I’m speaking for myself, but flips ins naturally made sense to me. But flips outs have always baffled me. This helps SO much and am hype to take these tips to learn my dream flip out of fakie tailslide fakie heel out! These videos I’ve found more helpful than the standard trick tip. Thanks for everything!

SICK ! thanks for the insight ! i appreciate you watching my vids !

[@rajs4719]

I seriously need a varial heelflip trick tip. Always goes behind me no matter what

[@tomasta]

make sure your upper body is not hunching over before you pop, try and keep your head centered over your feet & board...that helps me keep that trick under...works for alot of heelflip variations, at least for me !

[@Its_iQ]

Homie’s literally out here giving us the best advice. Rad!👊🏻

Yo this is dope that your putting out personal content Sadly I don’t skate anymore but I remember when you dropped the part with Chris cole I use to watch it before heading out

[@tomasta]

sickkk !

[@YorkReacts]

Asta dropping some mad pro tips. Wish pros made videos like this in my day of skating. Keep up the sick smooth style bro

[@BM-dl9tb]

It usually helps too to just learn bigspin, shove or 180 variations out before doing the flip ones.

[@tomasta]

Very true!

[@dirtydirtmcgogurt]

Love "How to"/Nuts and bolts vids from Pros. Keep it up, Tom! One thing that I tell people with flipping out of tailslide or noseslide is "when you get to the flip out part, pretend you're on a trampoline." It sounds stupid until you've tried it with that in mind, but I would always try to flip out like I was doing a normal kickflip (which never worked). But when I started, essentially, "bouncing into the flip" the board actually would suck up to my feet instead of me just kind of falling on it. Imagine you're on a trampoline with a skate deck... if you've ever done it, you know you have to like hop, pull your feet up and the deck will suck up to your feet. Again, that explanation is kind of confusing until you try it, but it really does help.

[@tomasta]

well said ! i know exactly what you mean thats a good take ! THANKS man i appreciate you watching my vids !

[@dirtydirtmcgogurt]

@@tomasta for sure! Thanks for the reply!

u could definitely give advanced trick tip videos. What i mean is that the internet is flooded with basic trip tips like how to kickflip and noseslide, but you have the skill to share tips that are more advanced like in this video u shared some tips with flip outs that would help out with higher level skaters.

[@Nuggetskates]

I think the first and only trick I can really do flip out is nose slide nollie heel. Watching this makes me want to learn more flip outs now but more so get my basics better. Watching you pop out of all the basics so clean was so sick looking

[@tomasta]

THANKS for watching ! and keep working at it ! you got it !

[@Toaster___Bath]

bro fark knows how to heel out of a noseslide. they feel so weird for me

[@skulleagletartat]

Anyone think it matters how tight or loose the trucks are for solid dismounts from krooks? Like maybe a little more spring from a slightly tighter truck? Or, is it all skill from anticipating the end and then popping precisely at the right time? My trucks are loose and I can't dismount that well. Tom, you're killing it.

[@tomasta]

i dont think it matters, not too much anyways, i know people with super loose trucks that can still do crook flip outs...its just geting the timing and pressure feeling of the pop out. hard to explain haha...but shouldnt matter too much loose or tight.

Hyped on the Ricta Speedrings. Picked up a pair after seeing you ride them. I thought they were a little gimmicky, but they aren’t at all. The ring adds a bit more speed, but they still age. The soft forgiveness of a 99a. Wonder how the 95a clears will ride, I’ll have to try them out.

[@lukasboraski2729]

So hyped on this. Both nollie heel and nollie bs crook. The load up or pocket of pop you have to create took my left leg .like 8 years to build that strength. Turns out at 32 my hip was shot. Few years gotta be replaced but with practice those muscles got stronger. Haven't skated in like 8 years but fakie heel tail or sw nose was my go to. Seein prod nollie heel and crook.

[@producedproductions]

For me a good tip that helps a lot (I notice you do it it too) is to land directly in your grind or slide with the footing for the trick you want to do out. I used to do flip outs where I would sorta shimmy my foot into the footing as I would slide or grind and it would usually cause me to stick..
