Flip Tricks: Semi Flip

A quarter kickflip followed by a late backfoot frontside varial one and a quarter heelflip. So the board flips two ways (1/4 kickflip, then 1 1/4 heelflip) and also does a varial. It's called a semi flip because the flip is split up into two halves.

Flip Tricks: Finger Flip

Fingerflips are a generally easy trick once you have the hang of them. It it easiest to learn them from the "tail stop" position. The basic setup is: back foot on the edge of the tail and front foot around the middle or maybe a little further back on the board. These can be done with your hand on the toe or heel side of the nose and can flip both ways. The normal fingerflip hand position is on the toe side of the nose. Once in position, you need to simultaneously jump from a crouching position and flip the board with your hand. Practice just flipping the board with your hand and from the "tail stop" position (with tail touching the ground and nose in the air) and then try it rolling.

Flip Tricks: Casper Flip & Hospital Flip

In a Casper Flip you turn the board onto your foot (Grip-tape to shoe laces) with your "sliding" foot, and rotate the board back with a 180 degree turn with your back foot. A Hospital Flip still turns the board, grip-tape side down onto your foot, but then that same foot pushes it back right-side up with a 180 degree turn, instead of using the back foot.

Flip Tricks: Forward Flip a.k.a. Dolphin Flip a.k.a. Murder Flip a.k.a. Thunder Flip

1. Okay this is a pretty simple stance, its pretty much doesn't really matter were your back foot is on the board, just keep in in a simple ollie position to enable the pop later on. The Front foot is a little trickier to get used to; your front toes are going to want to be close to the middle of your board (3/5,) of the way up the board. The position your foot is going to be in is a cross between a kick-flip and an ollie, so that your ball of your foot is centered on your board. your foot is going to be on about a 30 degree angle (left,) from a normal ollie similar to a kick-flip but not on as much of an angle.

2. Put a large amount into your pop so that you can flip your board fully. It is pretty much a normal flip trick pop similar to attempting a very high ollie.

3. This part can take a lot of time and cause a lot of frustration. The flip for the forward flip is more of a flick as it feels an awful lot like an ollie north and a kick-flip. as soon as you pop down hard on your board and hear the "SMACK," you are going to want to force your front foot up and out to the nose of your board ether the left side if you are regular in stance or right side if you are goofy. And flick out like an ollie north but to the point mention (close to were you kick a kick-flip but a bit higher up your board.) this will cause your board to flick forward and look very similar to a kick-flip which flies forwards. One major problem with the flick is if you don't kick high / forward enough to make the kick-flip; flip forwards, instead if you kick it straight out it will just flip lie a very awkward kick-flip.

4. The hardest part of the trick is trying to catch a board which is flipping very high. As soon as you have popped your board your back foot is going to get the hell out of there; far clear of the flip, and preferably try to keep it over the board. Your front foot is going to flick out and up very much like a karate kick, as soon as the board is spinning you are going to try to keep you feet over your board and prepare for the catch. As soon as you can see your griptape you are going to stomp down on your board and roll away with a smile on your face cause you just landed one hell of a trick.

Flip Tricks: Laser Flip

1. Put your feet into the varial heelflip position but closer together and slightly more angled. This is one hell of a spin for heelflips so be ready to really kick that baby. Being able to land decent varial heelflips is a MUST. (This trick is basicly a 360 flip but heelflip)

2. Pop your board like a varial heelflip but right away start your spinning and kick HARD with your back foot so it can spin the full 360.

3. This trick is hard to control and usually gets away or behind you. But just remember what you learned for varial heelflips and try and apply that to this. Doing this off a ledge might be a good idea since its kinda hard to get the full 360 spin heelflip.

4. Land on your board (Hopefully) and ride away. Thinking you arz da supa bomb digity.

Flip Tricks: 360 Flip (a.k.a. Tre Flip)

1. Have your front foot in the position for a kickflip (just behind the front truck bolts at a slight angle.) Have your backfoot in the positon you would have it for a 360 shuvit (Usually on the toeside corner of the tail - to allow you to spin the board faster.)

2. Begin to spin the 360 shuvit, as the same as the varial flip - wait till the board is about 90 degrees of the way round a shuvit before you begin to kickflip.

3. This should mean that the board is beginning to spin a 360 shuvit and a kickflip, jump high for this trick - to allow it more spinning time.

4. Jumping in the direction the board is spinning usually helps when learning this trick. Wait until the board has spun the full 360 shuvit and kickflip, then catch the board griptape side up.

5. Roll away and feel extremely proud.

Flip Tricks: Inward Heelflip

1. Place feet in backside heelflip position. Basically put your front foot like a normal heelflip and put your backfoot like you would for a backside 180. Pretty logical stance. No reason to complicate it.

2. Pop a shuvit with your back foot.

3. When it is at 90 degrees flip the board with your heel (kick your heel forward rather than towards the nose and out).

4. Tuck your legs up high so the board doesnt hit your legs. You almost have to wrap your flipping foot around the board (like a saran wrap) if you don't.

5. When you see the griptape side up slam your feet down hard over the trucks to prevent slipiing out and falling.

Flip Tricks: HardFlip

1. Roll at a steady pace, not to quick at first though.

2. You want the ball of your foot firmly pressed in the corner of you deck. And your front foot Facing slightly toward the nose of your deck.

3. Then bend your knees and spring up.

4. You need to sweep the board with your back foot around the back of you front foot. Your foot does not actually go behind your front foot but that is how it feels.

5. The sweep is kind of like a shuv it but you send the board into a spin.

6. The board does half a vertical and half horizontal spin.

7. The board may come between your legs so be careful. Your front leg will need to move and avoid the deck. The back foot also has to be brought outward then back over the board.

Flip Tricks: Varial Heelflip

1. Get your feet into your normal heel flip position first. Ok, now move your front foot atleast 2+ inches toward your back foot and then pivot your back foot with your heel coming inward towards your other foot. People do this tricks differently so find what works best for you. Knowing B/S shovits help.

2. Pop an ollie and start the B/S shovit but add the kick of your heel to it. Push your back foot down and away to make the board turn. This motion is something unusual for first timers and should kind of look like 1 movement even though it isn't. Your back foot is what spins the board the 180, your front foot adds the heelflip into it.

3. Flip the board 180 with a heelfip and try to catch it in the air if possible. Most people find that the board will land behind them. This problem can be solved either jumping higher kinda and into your board or by kicking alittle more to your front with your front foot.

4. Land on your board (both feet on the hardware) and ride away. If you can't get the board to pop high enough to spin the whole 180 try this trick off a small lendge or into grass. Skate on dude.

How To Do Varial Heelflips

Flip Tricks: Varial Flip

1. Have your backfoot on the corner of the toe side corner of the tail, so that it is easier to spin the shuvit required for this trick. Your front foot should be in the kickflip position.
2. Kick your back foot down and scoop the board in the direction you want it to spin (clockwise). The board should now be doing part of a shuvit.
3. When the shuvit has rotated round about 90 degrees, i feel that this is the best time to flip the board. Kick your front foot forward up and off the corner of the nose like a kickflip.
4. The board should now be spinning both a kickflip and a shuvit. It's probably best to jump forward when performing this trick making the board easier to catch.
5. When the board has finished the shuvit and the grip tape side has spun back round, catch the board wth your feet, bend your knees to absorb the impact of the board.
6. Roll away knowing that you have landed an excellent flip trick.

Flip Tricks: Frontside Heelflip

To perform this trick, it may be easier if you first master frontside 180's and heelflips.

1. Set up with your back foot like you would normally have it for a frontside 180. Put your front foot over the toe edge with only your heel on the board.

2. Hit the tail as you would for a frontside 180 but at the same time flick your heel over the toe edge so it spins the 180 and flips at the same time.

3. Continue your body movement in this direction until you have rotated a complete frontside 180 with your body. By this time, the board should have flipped all the way around and spun the 180.

4. Once the board has flipped, catch it with your feet. Keep the board attached to your feet and land in the fakie stance.

5. Ride away clean.

Flip Tricks: Backside Flip

1. Place your back foot in the postition you would have it to do a 180 ollie, sometimes placing your foot on the corner of the tail will help you to spin both the 180 ollie and the kickflip. Place your front foot in the position for a kickflip - sometimes placing your foot further up the board than usual will help you get your front foot out of the way when doing this trick.

2. Begin the 180 ollie, like a varial flip when you are 90 degrees of the way round, kick off for the kickflip with your front foot, give it a good kick so you can spin both the 180 ollie and the kickflip.

How To Do Backside Flips With Stevie Lopez

Flip Tricks: Frontside Flip

1. First off you need to learn 180's and kickflips.

2. This trick comes naturally for some people and others it doesn't. Anyways first off get over the fear of having the board credit card you, that only happens if you wuss out while your doing the fs flip and don't jump high enough.

3. Ok, now go up like your gonna do a frontside 180 but have your front foot set farther back than you would for a kickflip and your back foot applying pressure to the heel edge on the tail.

4. Pop the board and kick out with your front foot, like you would do for a kickflip but as your doing that kick your back foot out to turn the board.

5. Now just jump as high as you can and try to stay over the board.

6. Catch it and your set.

7. Most people mess up on the jumping high part, thats all you gotta do and you will do it, well for most people.

8. Also you can try and learn frontside flips easier by just going up on a small bank and kickflipping the turning 90 degrees instead of a full 180.
