I've been skating for 15 years, could do Frontside Kickflips but could never do them Backside. After watching this video I managed to roll away with 4 of them. The secret is really in the back foot position and wind up really helped with the rotation. Still need a lot of work but I'm psyched to roll away with this trick after struggling with it for so long. Thanks Ben!!
So stoked when I saw this pop up. Love your content. First found you when seeking advice on plasterboard butt joints. You helped me fix my ceiling after we took a wall down during a kitchen Renovation. Now, your helping me learn how to backside flip again after 20 years off the deck. 34 years old and addicted to skating again. Cheers mate 🍻
Yes, but Ben would tell us something about the nuance of paint drying that we just hadn't noticed before, though it logically makes sense despite his ability level of paint drying being considerably higher than our own ;)
What you said about the back shoulder makes a lot of sense! I do that instinctively with frontside 180 tricks, but not backside. Gonna give it a go next sesh
Thanks for the wonderful trick tip. It is a real help for sure. I know you mentioned that this is one of your favorite flat-ground tricks. It is one of mine as well. But I was wondering what are your top 5 favorite flat ground tricks, and, if you have time, why?
thanks for saying you lost them for 15 years. I've been skatring intermittently for 10 and I really struggle with everything. I've probabaly made 1 year of progress which bums me out. hearing you lost a trick for a long time is reassuring theres still time to learn
Proper 90 degree catch Ben! It helps to think of the varial flip scoop to 90, catch, then land. I also sometimes do a regular kickflip catch on the nose like a nose manual and pivot the rotation. Depends on the day.
Back in the day its easy for me to do those in Banks & for some reason a Halfcab kickflip is easy for me on flat. Think i should relearn BS flips again later today. Thanx Ben great tutorial vid
Is that a DIY paint job on your deck? Your tutorials are so much better than Braille. Those guys rock but I'm more your age and your explanations are superior. Keep shredding mate. Respect from Scotland.
Thanks for this, I can tre flip and frontside flip 10x more often than i can land a backside flip. I dont know when but at some point i just lost them lol.
Watching your vid, youre like, back foot on tip of tail, yesterday i fixed my bs flip by standing more in center of tail. Then you go on to say that "if you ride a mellow board, its ok to bring your foot further in.
Just a quick note, you never get your shoulders around. Every time you land them you roll away backwards. I tried to focus on this for backside 180 and I was just twisting all funny. Focusing on the shoulders didn’t help me much. Thanks for the entertainment and advice though. I enjoy all your videos.
Don't stop with the science in trick tips. Knowing how a steep to mellow kick behaves differently is important I think. But that's just me who is trying to learn to skate and over thinking everything...
