The KEYS to FLIPPING IN!

In this video I showcase some of my favorite FLIP IN tricks and give some TIPS along the way ! Flipping INTO grinds/slides can take your ledge skating to the next level. Take it slow and have kickflips/heelflips DIALED before trying to flip into a ledge or rail. Start small and work your way up! This type of skating is DIFFICULT, everyone learns at their own pace! Take your time, PRACTICE and be PATIENT!

Skateboarding KZbin has gone for so long with non-pros leading the way. It's insane to see how a pro like Tom Asta is on such a different level. The number of skaters that can flip in or flip out is so small yet this content is fire!

[@tomasta]

Appreciate you watching ! THANKS man

[@drippyscratchcat]

Also cuz he approaches tricks differently. He's explaining how he thinks about approaching a trick coming from a true professional level. U wouldn't want to learn how to play guitar from someone who's just learning, would U? Makes WAY more sense the way Tom approaches and explains cuz of his EXPERIENCE, board control and MANY, MANY hours of doing these tricks for YEARS. He also doesn't have to worry about views, cuz his profession is NOT being a KZbinr. He's a skater first. This is what "how to" videos should look like. From a PROfessional.

[@baileyskateboard8919]

I appreciate how he always shows a lot of fails before the make. It really helps me wrap my head around how he approaches the trick.

[@tomasta]

i agree, thats why ill always put in almost all of the trys if not literally every singele one depending on how long it takes...i think thats huge on understading tricks THANKS for watching

[@ZayProdigy]

I agree

[@AlexNiedt]

Agreed. When I see Tom's bails are similar to mine before a make, it reassures me that I'm not just totally wrong in my general approach. 😆

[@SpaceNewsPod]

Tom, you're a natural at this type of content. Please keep going! You have a really great way of explaining things in a way that most people will understand. And it's sick to see someone with your skateboarding talent helping out the community.

Brotha your mystery color theory part came out my freshman year of highschool & I've been watching you skate ever since. Keep killing it man wish I had these videos available when i was starting out skating

[@yungpadawan7060]

That sw heel 5-0 was Clutch. I hope you never stop skating. You're a Ledgend!! Get it? Seriously tho, we don't deserve these videos. Props to you for giving trick tips for the love of it. Beyond your steez and trick selection, you have such a good attitude man and that is the coolest thing about you

Man I have so much respect for you East Coast skaters having to deal with insane weather... not just for skating but just daily life too lol. I can't imagine the heartbreak every morning you wanna skate and then you see the rain out the window. You all have strong willpower

luckily this winter has been pretty mellow. rain and wind suck, but we have had no snow at least! THANKS for watching !

Loving your videos man! Even though I'll probably never get to flip in or flip outs now that I'm mid 30s, still love watching you skate in this format. Your style is beautiful. love from Aus

[@tomasta]

yo! i appreciate that ! THANK you for watching !

[@DazedCutty]

Thanks Tom. These videos really motivate me to get out there and start skating again!! I miss the feeling of landing a new trick. Especially something tech on a ledge. If I can get back to the level I was at 20 years ago, I really want to learn how to flip out. I had kickflip backside tail slides down, and kickflip frontside/backside nose slides down. Kickflip frontside tail slides are hard af. I’ll even post videos haha.

[@tomasta]

i love to hear that dude! get out there and get it!

[@DazedCutty]

@@tomasta thanks my guy! You ever in Portland you have a place to stay. I know all the spots. Fuck burnside lol too much tranny

[@Branchofsin]

I feel like mentally we look at a lot of tricks in the same way. Even the way you learn tricks is so similar to how I do it too. Your explanations of the tricks are so on point and help me understand what I need to do to complete it and land it.

[@jaciobe]

Enjoying these vids alot. It's legit like being told trick tips from a local skater at the park or something

awesome! Thank you!

Shame that the rain came at the end but your video is still full of information and solid skating! The generation nowadays are lucky to have your channel to enjoy watching you skate and give advice while learning. 🔥

[@tomasta]

ayy thanks big dog!

[@SolaRDare]

Another very informative and enjoyable video, thanks a lot Tom! 🤙🏻

[@tomasta]

i appreciate that THANKS!

[@enigmatowles]

P-Rod and Greg Lutzka are my two favorite Kickflip-in skaters. P-Rod’s bag of tricks makes him more confident and clean flipping into almost anything. Greg Lutzka is so quick with kickflips that when he flips into a trick, the flick looks like it never happened. Magic. PJ Ladd is really good with them too. PJ just flips out of tricks better to me than his flip-in tricks.

[@ram3nandpanduh]

I love seeing that it takes some try’s to do a trick , but I also love being amazed by 1st try tricks . So good !

[@tomasta]

THANKS

Not necessarily a ‘flip in’ skater but I love it when Tom Knox flips into tricks, always such a quick flick, POW!!! That guys is so sick, much like yourself!!

You mean the o.g Tom Knox ?

[@maxochavez5854]

Dude the process is the best. It’s great to know pros like yourself don’t land everything every single try. In the most humble way. Things take time, especially dope tricks with amazing style. Good stuff again my dude. Much love from Vegas.

[@tomasta]

THANKS MAX!

[@pokersko]

Your style is like a modern Tom Penny - just the best in the world imo. Very useful video, I enjoyed it, especially the kf bs tail part.

Amazing tips Bro, thanks so much! I'm gonna try your tip for the 50 putting front foot on the curb next session for sw kickflip bs 50. So hyped on it Man!

[@josephcantu3562]

Absolutely insane! It's so good to see someone of your skill level breaking this stuff down and the editing, and jump cuts in the beginning monologue is something alot of people don't think about but really helps pacing. Keep it up brother!

@@tomasta I forgot lol I commented on that one 3 weeks ago. 😂

[@Bruised_heels]

Thanks so much for this Tom! I’ve done front heel tail slide , been wanting to do Kickflip in as well. After watching this you broke it down and it makes alot more sense approaching it now! 🙏🏻

[@nollieflipcrook]

When you were talking about kickflip noserginds, and how people dive the nose too much, a good tip I think is to think of the lock in part as like you’re trying to lock into a kf nose manual. That always helped me get up onto the ledge better

[@tomasta]

that makes sense thats a great take!

[@davidhabel7380]

pure joy to see you skate like this

[@Radmillersk8]

Yo Tom, it’s good to see someone breaking down harder tricks. Much respect. 👊🏼

nice! hope it helps your progression! THANKS for watching !

@@tomasta Yeah, it really stimulates my hunger to progress. I landed my first kickflip fs 50-50 after watchin this video, and I will surely enjoy building on that.

[@AlexNiedt]

Thank you for this! Definitely provides confirmation of a lot of things I've noticed lately when experimenting more with flip-ins. Particularly the flick speed and getting the board over the ledge before moving it into position (not "diving" it in, etc.).

Sooo good! I appreciate your recent uploads and tutorials! THANKS A LOT! So many steezy tricks (flip bs nosegrind and lip fs tailslide were butter) in this video and your knowledge is one of a kind. I could do some flip in tricks when i was younger. My favourites were flip fs or bs noseslide and flip fs and bs 5-0. They felt so good! Also nollie flip bs 50-50 worked out pretty good. Nowadays my kickflips and heelflips are not as good anymore. I am working on them again but with family and work its not that easy to spend much time on the board. ): At the moment i like pop shuvit fs 5-0s really much. They are not so hard and look good.

i feel you man, life can take over! just have fun on the board, thats what its about! if your feelin frisky one day throw some flip ins out there! i appreciate you watching my vids!

[@tomasta]

my DUDE! THANKS!

[@nollieflipcrook]

I totally agree with what you said about kickflip boardslides (I’m thinking kf front boards mostly). I do flip ins a lot, and one of my fav rail tricks is kf back lip, but I have probably done less than 20 kf front boards in my life. Hell, even kf front feeble, or front blunt on a flatbar is less scary to me than a kf front board. It could be just that I skipped that trick growing up, but they have never felt comfy for me

[@tomasta]

haha i feel you, i was always cozy with kickflip back lips as well, just the way the board flips into it or something seems safer...and alot of those other tricks makes it easy to get a foot on the rail or something if the flip goes bad...boardslides just feel so exposed haha...THANKS for watching
