Why Your Tre Flip SUCKS & How to FIX IT!

[@trevorjones6118]

The secret is to keep your shoulder over your front foot, they'll stay under you every time. And you'll get that front foot catch.

[@Blaststar]

I've been putting my back foot in the wrong position for a decade, I could do them but was pretty inconsistent (maybe land 2 of 5), and they never felt quite right. Just got back from skating and spent the day doing the best tre flips of my life. Thanks for this.

dude, this is seriously, I think the best trick tip video I've ever seen, It's as good as the old tony hawk trick tips. :P no, seriously, I agree with you on everything. It's really rare to see someone that good to make such a well done trick tip. because normally the people who struggle a bit more with the trick, and do not have it down perfectly give better trick tips than the pros, If that makes sense. :) you got a new sub man.👍

[@herrreinsch]

and you know what's the best trick tip for me is, it's watching skatevideos. you get way faster better at skating, if you watch a lot of skatevideos, because seeing the trick done by a master is the best trick tip. :) I seriously tell the kids at the park to go and watch, for example: a tre flip, 100 times, and I'm serious with that number. :P If it takes 1 second to watch a tre, then it only takes 1 minute and 40 seconds to watch it 100 times. :) I mean, yes, It's monotone, but you need to burn the timing into your head. :P and then when you skate, the attemtps look way better, and you don't know why. :) yeah, sorry for rambling, but that's my number one trick tip, that I found works the best for me. :)

[@ryanlee-oy5yl]

I’ve been trying this trick for 6 months!!! It’s always felt super impossible to me. I’ve watched ab 50 tre flip tutorials and none of them helped me. When I watched this one, it legit explained all of my problems with tre flips and then I landed 7 tre flips today

[@hemzooted1653]

Tre flips and kickflips have a special place in my heart over any other tricks in skating ❤️

[@edgroves2051]

I started skating in 1988 and my best advice for a clean tre flip is that you have a slightly more forward facing stance. If you look carefully at this video you can see his front shoulder is slightly opened, his front arm is not exactly in line with the nose. This body position allows for your back foot to scoop more easily and your front foot to maintain a consistent forward motion that doesn’t interfere with the rotation.

[@swagyguy1013]

Thank you so much. I was on the verge of breaking my board. I have tre flips but they’re never consistent. I watched this video and landed it right away.

[@PatateAlex69]

I just landed my first tre flip after that video, +1 sub

[@kotymccallister5150]

I skated back in high school and could tre flip at least 7/10 times. Now that I'm 25 and skating a lot again, my tre flips suck. Maybe 1 out of 15 and it's sloppy. Was working on them today and realized that when my back foot is in the pocket I get a better scoop. I got two in a row today. That's a feat for this geriatric old man

[@makl2367]

25 and a geriatric old man :D? Im 35 now and skate a lot again. Im really close and still have fun :)

[@mullucull3r]

...20 bro wtf

[@FelipediOliveira]

I managed to land a few tre flips many months ago, but in one of these attempts I leaned back and my board zipped out and I fell on my lower back so bad. After that I've been having trouble with commiting. That's why I don't like to lean back on tre flips. I know this video is quite old, but I still hope you can read it. Thanks!!!!

One of the most frustrating tricks in skateboarding... i have 3 shuvs and kickflips literally on lock, but tre flips are a whole different story... i can do them, but it's been like 2 years since i wanted to learn them on lock and i still haven't figured it out... once in a while i'll get lucky and do like 5 of them in a row, but it's all muscle memory.. i'll go skate the next day and do like 3 out of 10 :(

yes, the tre flip is different, now it seems like i finally got it, i do them almost every try.. i can also do them front foot catch. Having 3shuvs and kickflips can help though...

[@manuu1107]

Yeah I stopped trying it and now im learning and improving the basics to reach the flip

[@SkatingwithAaron]

First tutorial I’ve seen that mentions not keeping the back foot flat. Great tip! Watching this I realized I keep mine flat. Will have to make the adjustment and see what happens. Thanks!

[@adamcassey4772]

mad love for skating servant and supporting skater owned

[@imakrewitatl]

Another thing i notice alot and especially sinse i did this also when i first started learning tres was throwing the board outward too much, it loses so much pop & spin. If you watch Brandan Westgates 360 flips his back foot almost is driven downward. Which is why hes got one of the most gangst tres out there :)

[@anttheape]

Most helpful video i have ever seen on these bro

[@zptro6316]

my understanding is that your front foot needs to do little to now flicking. The flip comes from loading the truck on the frontside. That's why a back foot that is not "flat" is key. Once you pop, the truck straightens and flips the board. Really not obvious but this is plays a big role in how the trick works

[@Themis767]

Skate hacks to overcome injuries would be a lot of help

[@LONGCHAMPLightbones]

I got the perfect movement rotation and flick but my biggest problem is when i lend it i always catch it with my back foot and never with my front foot !

[@NamNguyen-xu6rx]

Same, I’ve re watched footage and I’m leaning back, so I’m not jumping forward, I was previously so I fixed it and I started to land on the nose. Not much improvement but still something but now the board goes to far behind me for me to catch nicely so whenever I get them they look like ass. I think the problem is that I’m not getting enough leverage or pop. I don’t put enough pressure on my toes for the griptape to just come to my toe and since I’m so used to that, my scoop is super strong so sometimes it will stay under me or just fling out behind me. SOMETHING YOU SHOULD TRY IS TO POP MORE AS TO SCOOPING. SCOOPING TOO MUCH CAN CAUSE UR BOADD TO GO BEHIND YOU.

Your blue shoes are awesome. What are they?

[@MsPlayerMaxSkills]

Okay, now if i do the 3shuv perfect i don't flip it all the way = "primo" . When i it flicks perfectly the board goes behind me. I think that its because i don't try to land it, but when i try to land it almost all the time it spins about idk 180 and a-half degrees and = Fall. Soooo What now ?

[@apina1244]

i just cant jump on the board and when i focus on the jump then i cant get the scoop what should i do

[@JustCauseChannel]

Focus on getting the. 360flip motion first. Then try to catch it with your front foot and put your back directly on it after to get a bit of the feel. Once you got that down it's all about comittment. You don't jump onto the board, you flip it under you so that you land onto it. So focus on perfecting your flip.

[@caseyaylward8853]

my biggest problem is that i cant get the full rotation done quickly enough for me to still be in the air to catch it .. maybe i am not jumping high enough or the flip itself, which usually is successfully rotating all the way, is too slow..

[@sliver9127]

I only scoop so hard as i can and then the flick comes automatically.

[@billyloaf4753]

its all about your back foot positioning. same happened to me, no matter how high i jumped and hard i scooped. i realised its all about your foot positioning. try hanging ur toes lesser than you would, almost at the point when its not hanging off

[@EvanJohn89]

Hey mate. I read your comment last night. I've been struggling with 360 flip inconsistency: landing 1 in 15 and jumping about a metre to the right to land it (huge effort required and very slow spin). After reading your tip, I brought my toes back on the tail until they were only just hanging off and bang - literally first try I landed a clean tre during a line today at the skate park. Thank you.

Awesome video, helps a lot. I worked on tre flips all night long one night and got both my feet on the deck twice. Since then I quit doing them and I wanna try again. Mostly because my buddy can do them, very sloppily I might add, and I just wanna show his ass up.
