Skateboarding Tricks: 360 Flip Mistakes

Video Transcript

"Some of the common mistakes you'll experience while learning how to 360 flip are some of the common mistakes that people learn while learning some of the basic tricks like kick flips, kick flip aerials and shove its. The problem is you'll find it difficult to stay in the air long enough for the board to continue doing what it's supposed to do. One of the ways of correcting this is to find ways to get more power out of your legs and jump higher and bend your knees longer in the air and also at the same time flipping your board faster and getting it to shove it faster to get it back to where you need it to be to roll away. The best advice I have for you is just keep trying it and learning the coordination between jumping higher and flipping and shove iting faster. The other common problem that you'll find is that the board won't either shove it enough or kick flip enough. The trick is just combining the two motions together and practice, practice, practice. The other problem you're going to find is that a lot of times when you're first learning the 360 kick flip is that you're going to land what's called primo. Which is where you land with your feet on the board on the top of the trucks. The only advice I have for you for that is keep practicing and get the board to finish the flip and the rotation all at the same time."
