360 Flip

When trying to learn the 360 flip (also known as the 3-flip and tre flip) it really takes hard work and dedication. Ensure that you have the varial kicflip down pat, and that you can spin a 360 pop shove-it. So you have a good feeling for the board spinning and flipping under you. Then take it to the next level.
1) Scooping the board. Your back foot should be have your toes hanging off the tail where the concave is, so it’ll be like your feet are grasping the concave like a hook. Once your in a good position you must scoop and scoop hard.
2) Your front foot should be in a angled version of the kickflip position. When you scoop, shoot your front foot straight and flick your ankle. NOT side but straight, that should center the board under you as it spins and flips.
3) Jump high, to give the board ample time to flip. But ensure that your feet are in a position relative to where you will have to catch the board.
4) The land, which is the hardest part. Make sure your feet are apart so and over the bolts. Watch the board, and let gravity do its job. When the board has finished flipping and you see the grip, land. You won’t get it the first try but you’ll get in time.
The 360 flip is just like the kickflip just practice and practice, and you’ll land it soon.
