FELIPE GUSTAVO SECRET 360 FLIP HACK 

The way you break down tricks (even ones you don’t have yet) are extremely helpful, and I’d consider them trick tips. One of your videos you interviewed someone and they said “try different things, even if you don’t think they will work.” That was huge for me. When I’m struggling with a trick that pops up in my brain to try it a different way. I appreciate the work you do with your interviews of Pros and how you look at tricks. Keep up the good content!

I don't think of it the same way as you described in the video, but I end up doing the Felipe Gustavo technique with this train of thought: - Set up back foot with toes hanging off the edge. - Focus on popping *down* with back foot, and the scoop comes naturally. If I focus on the scoop (i.e. do it too much sideways) I'll sometimes scoop and not pop, which causes the tre to be really low and over rotate the shuv. Also, to make myself have more of a front foot catch, I'll focus on popping *first* and then, when the tail hits the ground, activating the back ankle to push the board forward (i.e. toward the direction I am moving/leading shoulder). Think about the internal rotation of the foot for someone who is "pigeon toed", where there toes point in toward each other. The back foot will pop (toes down) and then the scoop is rotating the back foot into pigeon toed rotation (toes inward). So, I try to minimize the scoop from my knee and maximize the scoop from my ankle.

Hey Local Joe, I loved your video and the way you study skateboarding, I saw Felipe Gustavo competing in Goiânia/Go-Brasil in mini-ramp when he was 9, won and already with Switchstance well developed for his age. In the technique for 360Flip, what the elders taught us was, that instead of kicking back 3:35 pause (towards the butt); kick forward towards your front heel. Watch in slow motion F.Gustavo's movement kicking forward the 'tail' 0:01 (0.25 playback speed) and the back heel doesn't go towards the butt. Now look at the image paused at 7:13, and see all your leaning, you are pushing backwards, now look at the image paused at 6:55 and see how the back leg 'kicks' forward towards the front heel. My tip is to focus on the most upright posture possible and kick the 'tail' towards your front heel. 10:56 Man, you make people work their minds and weigh skateboarding and that's really cool, maybe get advice from Physiotherapists on Strengthening Exercises and Muscle Explosion, bring these tips to your channel, always remember to stretch and warm up, it helps to conserve the bones. I have operated on my knee three times before I am aware of 'warm up, strengthen and stretch' before and after each session.

I don’t think you need to be “good enough” to do trick tips. Everyone does them differently and it’s all about giving another perspective ppl may not have thought about - what you share might be what helps someone finally figure it out. Been trying to relearn tres recently and how you described it here is really helpful and makes a lot of sense. Gonna give it a go and see how it works for me. Keep it up! 🔥

I think his technique has more to do with his board size he rides a 7.75 which usually has a length of 31.5 or smaller, tricks are a lot easier to flip at that size and which gives you more time to focus your foot placement for more pop, just my opinion

Congratulations on 10k from Brazil dude! What clicked for me to make the 360 ​​flip pop was it put more pressure down and center than to the sides with my whole body. Put the weight of the body to apply pressure to pop it. I don't know if it makes sense but for me it did 😅

There is a video by Ellis Frost where he explains his way of doing treflips, it's seems to me that Felipe is doing the same thing

Dudes...save your time and just pause it at 0:38......saved you 11 minutes....

I kinda to the same thing with my pop shove it, And I could get them pretty high and what I’ve realized is puttin your foot higher up on the tail (farther away from the pocket) and I’ve just got used to popping the board straight down with a nudge at the pop and I rlly feel thats how u pop scooped tricks high and now I’m gettin a little more comfortable with tres and have done a few I’ve been applying that to it so far and it’s been I’ve noticed I’m gaining more control and getting the consistant full rotation

Felipe does his tres only with the backfoot and its pretty damn hard 2 explain .. he kinda scoop wit his backfoot an get with his backfoot toe under the board when it pops than he flip it with hit toe and get it up with his backfoot .. no flip with front foot at all .. we got a guy back in the days who does that g treflips .. those guys who treflip like this can treflip while standing with front foot on the nose or heelflip position the dont use front foot at all

This is 100% facts, glad to know Felipe Gustavo does 'em my way, lol. I've done all kinds of different tre flips throughout my years skating but this is the method that works best for me. Pinching the tail before popping makes it so the board is forced against your front foot, so you literally don't need to worry about the flick. As for hampering the scoop with your front foot, what also helps is have very little weight on your front foot and be standing more on the tip of your toes than having your full foot on. Only disadvantage to the no-flick, forward and upward-scooping tre is that it's much easier on smooth surfaces - gritty ground means you have more wheel friction to overcome with the scoop

Most important is that you have your toes really hanging off the tail. And if you watch Felipe you see he‘s pretty much doing them only with his ankles, whereas you tried to spin the board with your whole leg. It‘s also a tension thing, I figured out if I put a lot of tension on the pop spot even before I pop I get them faster and higher. Don`t know if that makes sense, but I taught a couple of people treflips before and the tension thing was a key to a lot of them. Other than that like you said, the tail has to hit the ground on that diagonal spot, pretty much 45 degres off the middle.

Pop down and scoop. Your tre flips are just being scooped. The front foot doesn't get out of the way. It actually helps push the spin around.

This is the secret. People dont believe me when I tell this to them

thanks for the tips. also please consider the size of the board that felipe uses and the tightness of the trucks

Aye congrats on 10k homie!

I can't help it, my 360 flip always has a massive pop. This is why I cannot stay above it and often my front foot is in the way as you have said in the video. I would realy like to know how to 360 flip but just a bit above the ground so I have a chance to land it.

Thats mad bro

These are clisscal tre flips. The gustavo tre flip is the one with the back foot doing a sort of backward kick. Everything is on the pressure of the front foot, same as a no comply. release the pressure of the front foot and the board flip.

In the clip by the yellow ledge he’s sneaking a toe under the tail. Essentially an under flip.

GOD ALMIGHTY Loves you all give your life to JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY Before it’s to late and live for GOD ALMIGHTY NOT FOR THE WORLD. GOD ALMIGHTY bless you my friends HALLELUJAH

I always wanted to 3 flip like felipe Gustavo ever since i learned how to 3 flip 10 years ago thanks so much for this lol

While you were explaining the motion for the tre flip I remembered something that almost perfectly resembles the technique that Felipe uses. If anyone has ever used a handboard and learned how to do cheater tre flips they’re basically this same idea you pop on the corner of the tail and you almost don’t even have to do anything to the board it’ll kinda just do the tre flip for you. Obviously that doesn’t completely translate to full size skating but just an observation

Got back into skating after 15 year break and 0:08 - 0:09 the back foot when he does this motion with the foot and the toes are literally pointed at the ground it brought this truck back for me it feels like a spring loaded and I wasn’t even really trying just hard pop and doing that motion with my back foot brought it back I was doing the really hard scoop behind me before thanks for the video !

Steve olson's shortys part taught me this... he flipped it so vertically that after the flip the board would smack his front foot... haha i just low key showed my age lol merry christmas!

Kudos on every post Local Joe. I appreciate how anything can be applied when it comes to technique and tricks. That being said, *never* compare yourself with others skaters.(talking to up and coming skaters). Every (pro)skater has his special natural ability. Everything is within the details, from their physical attributes, weight, board size, to truck tightness. With time you will find what style and trick selection will compliment your ability and expression through a skateboard. Influence is great but to me embracing your uniqueness is greater than becoming a carbon copy. Enjoy yourselves in the next session 🦾.

Pop it vertically just like Shane

That’s how it is when ur that focused sadly I’m the same way u enter the utmost tunnel vision lol….all I want to do is land tre’s riding forward…I’ve done it riding fakie n it’s satisfying but still not the same I wanna master that scoop too!

Looks like his front foot is also playing a big rule and its kicking early and up higher and forward.

Ellis frost has this way of tre flips dialed in check him out you will be spamming them left and right

Its about timing between the pop in the back and light flick in the front.

i think you are on to something ..... great breakdown

Nice picture behind you! What a scenario!!

I learned treflips from Bryan Herman and wheel base matters big time

Gonna take this to the lab today

He’s kicking it.

Just pop scoop flick land

ur like bill burr if he skated

Amazing Vista bro

bwahhhhh nice breakdown

Love your back side bigs I been trying for a bit always land like almost 180 but when I land I roll away some times like I'm skating a bank any tips

i have problems with my back foot landing back on the board, i have a very consistent scoop and my front foot could catch it mostly. i still don’t know exactly how to fix it if someone have tips for me please help 🙏 thanks

I mentioned this in a previous treflip video and it seems you’re getting the idea down. Your scoop should be down and like forward/under you. This is what actually allows the board to come vertical off the ground to get the full spin, then you slide your front foot up, then flick away, and the board just flicks off your foot very easily the better the scoop. Notice how you said your focusing too much on spin the board rather than the actual pop, and it’s waste so much more energy. But your tre flips aren’t gonna look good or be consistent if you can’t figure out the pop/scoop. I have some RU-vid shorts on my channel of me doing some treflips, check them out and watch how I move my back foot, it might give you an idea

I want to learn this tre

It’s more of scoop downward (pushing the board directly downward) instead of scooping in a half circle motion (same reason why Aaron Kyro’s tre flip is so low and then Jonny Giger’s tre just blasts off

That’s the perfect tre technique example before Felipe goes into crook. If you study the scoop, it’s all ankle, no leg. Flick same thing. Whenever I use more than my ankle to flick a tre, I miss my flick and my foot gets in the way.

One thing Felipe is amazing at is the front foot catch. His tres are super effortless with his front foot not doing much, then he catches perfectly with it. I always back foot first atm

Good job man

fuck yeah

it wasn't till someone showed me the quick micro squat prior to scooping that I started landing mine. The whole body crunches down before the scoop but less than lets say an ollie

How you liking the Glider? Been skating mine my for a couple weeks. I love it!

I’ve tried to get my tre flips stylish like either Felipe or Shane but throughout the years I’ve learned that everyone has they’re own way like the body just operates differently then others. I have a pretty good tre too but I tend to curl my back foot under as it’s comfortable to me. I struggled with tres for a little while after switching up my technique. Now they’re back but I don’t recommend forcing a different style too much lol. The more you do it the more your style will show

Yes,it’s in the board size for sure,not just technique.both determine even how they look and how easy they are executed.

Nice video man. If I look closely on felipes technique I see that he does not flip the board with his front foot. Instead he pushes it, like you said, kinda crooked and pops it up but I also see that he makes contact with his toe to flip the board. His front foot just goes straight up. Man I can't wait to try that...

You look like Ed Sheeran

Also pros ankle scoops are insanely strong and that’s why their leg has literally zero effort.

One way I do them is to feel with your toes on the back foot where to pop of the board starts to come up. Smash it down with your toes with no heel touching. Perfect every time

Nice video man,felipe has insane tre's. Also,today i landed my first nollie kickflip and got 4 in total,gonna work on those,would be cool if you make a video on them

its more of a timing issue, if you wait for your body to go up in the air before u pop (i happens in a couple millisecons tho), you'll release weight (and thus increase ernergy output) in your board scoop

Congrats on the 10k my dude! Setting up a fresh Ishod twin tail today so I'm gonna try some of your tips

I dont have a great treflip but i have been working on them a lot lately and what i have figured out for me is i do like a varial flip flick with my front foot basically straight sideways and down a little. It doesnt even look like im flicking it but when i do that it puts the right tension on it and it makes the scoop feel so much more effortless.

One huge thing you missed is how Gustavo does his back foot after the pop - the corner of the ball of his foot and toe scoop under the board almost like the motion for an impossible - it’s borderline a cheater 3-flip. That’s how he gets the height, because he scoops it up higher on the side of the corner of the board! *Very similar to how mike mo would do the impossible flip.

a thing that nobody talks about is the fact that Felipe use a 7.75 board, what makes him flip the board so fast, plus that Felipe workout his body pretty often, what gives him a extra scoop/pop to do flip tricks that fast

Damnn, that down and up scoop looks like the way

Insane breakdown of Gustavo's way of tre flipping. Love your content and dude you get better every day! So sick to watch your progression !

I love the way you explain tricks man. Now it makes more sense to me 🤯

im gonna try this next time

Your a legend g🙏 luv ur vids

thats a cool little park there

something i learned about understanding the scoop of tre flips was by practicing one foot pressure flips (with your other foot planted on the ground), aaron kyro does them all the time, but i can almost guarantee practicing that will help your tre flips.

it look like it popped more with that technique for you

pls try some freestyle!

congrats on 10k

Biggest clickbaiter out there

i feel like i keep getting click baited into these terrible videos of you basically not helping anyone learn anything.

Hell yeah let’s gooo joeeee ❤️ tres gonna get buttery soon !
