Skated for around 14 years constantly, landed only a handful of 3 flips in that time. Idk I always scooped to fast never got the flick. Doing them fakie was easy but rolling forward was another story.
dawg, i've had your tre's & nollie bs heels memorized since the early 2000's. its so good to see you, bro. you're different as a human being in general. like my heart can't see nothing but pure when you're in sight, man. god speed & truly, thank you for being you, Paul.
🔥🔥🔥, and if you get the chance, please tell Shane O’Neill that the fans are still waiting for that 360 flip tip video he promised us 12 years ago on RU-vid 😂
Nice! Enjoy my dude and be patient at our age lmao. I'm 36 and I started skating last year. Hardest thing is being able to consistently get out there. I think I've got and lost my kickflip and heelflip like 6 times because I'll take too long of breaks. Prevents me from progressing to other tricks and it gets frustrating but it's so fun.
If you got the scoop but still cant seem to get it, focus on flicking your FRONT FOOT the little "tappy" from the front foot is usually treated as an afterthought but its actually super important for making the trick happen.
For people only getting half a kickflip in: don’t just scoop your foot/leg backwards, try to give the tail a little nudge with your toes by twisting your foot a bit. This made my treflips consistency go up by miles. I’m regular, so i twist my backfoot anti-clockwise a bit. I see most pros do this, paul included, but often people don’t talk about it. Hope this helps :)
I am regular too and I'll try to do your method I've been getting half kickflips consistently and can only do an actual tre flip by landing it with one foot.
Wow, the fact that Paul included the 360 flip over the hip to accidental tail slide means he was more interested in teaching others how to do the trick then trying to show a precisely landed tre flip. We’ve already seen he can do that, and switch. I think it’s humble of him to share his key ingredients and to laugh off everything else. Thank you for sharing.
Putting my scooping foot closer to the pocket really helped, it's an awkward position if you're used to having your foot closer to the tip of the tail like I am but this new foot placement keeps the board under a lot better.
Much love and respect to you and your channel Paul Rodriguez. Thank you for what you do and everything you have done and your contribution to skateboarding, videos, design and the culture. We love you man. Your a living legend and a huge inspiration to me and countless others and a gift to humanity.
the crazy thing here is, last week i went to sleep idealizing tre's and was like "oh man, i wish P-Rod could do a tutorial, i would literally give anything to see him explaining", today i woke up and faced this, this feels like a dream and i still can't believe it!
Dope! I'm 28 and been skating since I was 14 and I still have problems landing trey flips!! I can form it every try and mostly when I try to actually land it the board either doesn't flip all the way or I land away from the board!! Still practicing tho 🙏
LOL, I have an easier time with Nollie 360 flips than 360 flips. I always seem to miss the flip for some reason. Was not like that when I was younger but I suck nowadays. Still, I always had a bad 360 flip, I would put my legs super close to be able to do it perfectly, etc...
Thanks so much for this P-Rod ... been trying to learn how to Tre consistently for 10 years now (not joking). Technique is fundamentally wrong. Definitely some actionable hacks in here from the GOAT!
Something somebody told me that really helped me when I was learning them was pretend you're trying to kick your front foot with your back foot. That was such a huge help.
I like to keep my back shoulder that's over my scoop leg lined up with the bolts.. helps me always land straight. Before my scoop leg would never land on the board. P ROD you're looking young and healthy bro!
Just spent 3 hours earlier today and yesterday trying to get this down gotten close but with this video I can already tell ill have it down very soon thank you legend!!
when I was learning them it was all scoop no tappy, or all tappy no scoop. it was a matter of remembering to "tappy" along with the scoop simultaneously which my brain had a hard time comprehending for the LONGEST TIME! my tre flips are still the most inconsistent flip trick in my bag. since I stopped skating for years (personal issues addiction n whatnot) when I got sober n got back on the board I lost all my consistent tricks from years ago (fs flip, bs bigspin, hardflip) but for some reason I started doin all my most inconsistent shit more consistently (tre flip, inward heel, bs flip) and for some weird Ass reason I lost my bs bigspin almost entirely, but I can do them switch which I was never even able to do back in the day...at 32 relearning flatground with a ollllllld unrepaired acl tear is hard enough. idk what ima do when I start relearning on a box and low square rail lol..im not even sure If il be able to lol. I may just be stuck trying remaster flip tricks on a lil 3 stair.
I remember when Scott Pfaff taught me these. He basically explained it the same way. Except he was regular footed so it took some extra practice to get it down in stance.
As someone born in the same year as Paul I have no idea how he is still doing what he does lol. I can do a tre flip sitting still on the carpet but its been years since Ive done one moving. Getting old sucks!
To get a good pop apply pressure on your popping foot and flicking foot (preload is what they call it) it applies to most, if not all flatground tricks
Back when I used to skate all the time, I could land any flip trick except a 360 flip even though I could do them nollie, switch, but never fakie or normal. I found out it was about the push of my left foot that it had to inmediately go back with the same force than the pop and the front foot will literally do nothing except going up. That's how I learned 360 flips.
You’re the only person ive ever heard have my same issue. I could literally do any flip trick, except regular 360 flips. I think it’s because i learned how to Impossible very early, and thats what my back foot wants to do naturally when i try.
