The 360 flip is THE trick of skating today. It involves the board
rotating 360 degrees whilst flipping over once. The 360 flip is a big,
carefully defined "pop". You cannot move the board like you would in a
kickflip varial and still pull this trick off. To 360 flip move along at a
moderate speed (it is very hard to do this trick standing still) crouch
down then begin an action as you would with a pop shuvit. However as you
do this the front foot needs to be pushed forward, as would be done in a
shuvit then off the edge of the board to begin the flip. The back foot
needs to be pushed back with more aggression and precision than with the
shuvit. If the above is done correctly the board should spin and flip in
the air. Now we come to the three hardest parts of the trick.
The first is getting enough pop to stay above the board whilst in the
process of the flip ( so you can catch the board before it hits the
ground.) To do this make all of the actions clear and defined and don't
just "flick" the board out from under you.
The second trick is getting the board to spin under you and not way out in
front of you where it is impossible to catch. This is one of the most
common flaws and it is overcome be equally balancing the actions of the
front and back foot. This sounds a lot easier than it is as the front foot
usually just tries to everything by itself
The third is catching the board. This is pretty hard as it is coming
from behind you. I can't give any specific instructions on how to do this
but just get a feel for how the board spins and it will come to you in no
time.
