How to Do a Switch Straight Pressure Flip M-80 on a Skateboard

Do a Switch Straight Pressure Flip m80. This freestyle skateboarding trick actually takes longer to perform than it does to rattle off its name. But when it is done right, it looks spectacular. This is one trick that will impress your skating buddies with your mad skills and make you rule the cement.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Place the toes of your rear foot on the board's tail. Have your heel hang off of the board on the heelside edge very near to the back wheels. Position your forward foot above the board's front trucks. Have your toes hang off a little to balance out the back foot weight on the other edge of the board.

2. Get your board rolling up to speed. Get ready to shift all of your body weight onto your back foot to release it into your pop. With the back foot, flick straight down, and a little toward the back, making the skateboard fly into a full rotating kickflip.

3. Jump at the same time the board is flipping in the air. Get up high enough to grab the nose of the board with your forward foot.

4. Kick slightly out behind you with the back foot. Kicking backwards like that will make your lower half of your body go into the pivot first. Usually in air rotation tricks, the upper torso spins first and the lower part of your body pivots after.

5. Let go of the board at the last moment and smoothly land on the cement to roll away. That's the Switch Straight Pressure Flip m80.
