Thanks Ben! This video will motivate many of us. Nice idea to have two skaters with different 360 flips + slowmotions. I hope we will have the chance to see a new vid from you giving many more tips for this amazing trick!
Something I learned from listening to jeremy wray is that any flip trick you want to get more height from, you have to put more of you're sliding foot on the board. It extends your flip and allows you to bring the board higher up with you as you flip it.
Broke my hip 2 months ago from skateboarding to soon at the park... been watching your videos and been learning alot with the way you explain the tricks! Much appreciated for your work keep it up and stay blessed
@@justkeepskating8888 I have been doing better than my doctor expected :) it helps being 19 years old and healthy haha its givin me a passion for skateboarding, got some unfinished business. Thankyou :)
I know everyone says to scoop hard, but after getting used to the scoop, I have to scoop really light, or it over rotates. Thanks for the video Ben. Rad 360 Flips! 🤙
Love your content ben, but i feel like there wasn't a lot of information in this video. It basically just said where to put your feet and you need to scoop. There's so much more important stuff about the position of your shoulders, leaning back/forward in order to keep it under you and so on. I don't think this would have helped me a lot if i'd still struggle with those. (Just finally got them switch)
I agree. Obviously, I want to say thanks Ben for this vid and for the support of the poppy 360flip fellow skater. Yet, you are right Kevin, treflip tutorials deserve more precision and accurate tips from long time skaters. Personally, body balance is essential to launch and land the trick. Thanks guys!
The 360 flip has been my "go to" trick for decades, and I can say that there isn't much more to say about it than this. It's literally all about the scoop.
@@uraveragegreatgrandfather except a lot of people never land one because the open their shoulders while popping etc. and the learning steps are not mentioned as well. This video gives almost nothing. Scoop hard and flip... There is way better trick tips out there and before you come at me I skate for a long time and know how to tre.
Awesome! I thats my trick in progress right now. You should should check out Ellis Frost and his recent tutorial, he 360 flips using only the back foot and its actually a really easy technique, weirdly. Just hangs his toes way over the edge with the scoop foot. Front foot literally doesn’t even matter.
360 shuv so much scarier than a 360 flip lol. I would never even try a 360 shuv so definitely agree on just trying to 360 flip even if you can't 360 shuv!
have you considered adding a first person view camera for these series? especially on fliptricks and certain balanced grind like back smith and back tail this would be hugely beneficial. its an investment of course but yea.
Looks like Adriano really drives his back foot forward when he scoops them. I see most people scoop dragging their foot down behind them which keeps the board lower when it spins.
I haven't done them in years.. but I do them best on a older board.. like 91 shape.. same with impossible s... some thing about the square tail helps me... same here .. took me a long time to learn back in 91 ...I had them on lock by mid 90s.. but yea they weren't great like today's standard lol...I never get how ppl throw that back leg out now days Haha.
360 flip! Such a pain in the a**. I use to do it easily in Fakie, then a star doing Fakie bigspin flip and now it’s seems like it’s impossible to do a regular 360flip. Wathever, i try to relearn it
I'm stuck for months now on easily getting the shove it rotation but getting only a half of kickflip rotation :/ but when I try to land only with a front foot - I can
i have the opposite problem. i pop them too high and don’t have enough air time to catch it on flat, and i think it’s mainly because i don’t flick i just use my back foot
My problem is I pop then too much I can pop a tree flip over knee height easily but it takes so much energy out of me and I cant find a way to do those effortless tredlips nyjah or nick tucker etc
For real guys the front foot is pretty important. Everyone says it isnt they talk bullshit. Ive learned this trick a year and the scoop was easy got it after few days. But the back foot never comitted. And one day i though like make the scoop but concentrate on the Flick from the front foot and then i landet it perfectly
I can pretty much 360 shuv (maybe like a 325 lol) but I don't think I'm even near a regular kickflip. Crazy how everyone's progressions are so weird and different
Huge love hate relationship with these, i can pretty much flip them every try, but I find it super difficult to get the back foot back on, which doesn’t seem to be a common issue....learned them a few years ago, but I keep losing them and then having to re-learn them, except for this one afternoon a few months ago where I had them on lock almost every try....and then I lost them again the next day -.-
I have the same issue as you. I can form perfect treflips right underneath me and get that front foot catch, but my backfoot always lands on the ground before the board finishes the rotation. Every time I try to scoop the trick and lift my back foot up while keeping it over the board, I lose the ability to form the trick, or the board lands primo, or it hits my back knee, or I land it with the board upside down, or I stick it but my shoulders turned frontside slightly and I slip out and eat shit. But then when I don't make a conscious effort to put my back foot on, it does a perfect tre-flip. >_< biggest facepalm.
in the same boat as you man, this is a trick I'm genuinely pretty good at, but I tend to lose randomly for whatever reason. Last time I got them back I was doing them differently than usual and found that they were way more consistent and didn't take quite as much effort. Just hung my toes off more, built pressure, and popped straight down and for whatever reason they were immaculate....... until I lost them a week later.
most of the time thats normal for people who are new to 360 flips. I see it a lot because people also try to "scoop" with their upper body because they dont have the power to get the rotation out of their back foor yet. If you need your upper body to get the rotation, you are doing something wrong. Try getting the feel for the back foot and practice flipping the board. If thats your only problem, it wont take long before you nail every single one :) Keep trying!
I subscribed to your channel but I think I've been missing videos because I forgot its yours since it doesn't say ben degros. You should put t in the thumbnail
I'm not making fun of you, I swear, but I dig the northern pronunciation of "pop" that almost sounds like "pwop". Every time you say it in a vid, I repeat it like 6 or 7 times involuntarily.
Not very helpful, but the footage is fantastic. Would've been good if you addressed some common problems people have when learning this trick, like not being able to keep the board underneath you, or only landing with one foot, or landing perfectly on the board but it only flips halfway, or doing a perfect rotation but for some reason the body does a sex change, etc.
