So many people neglect the fundamentals and try to learn the cooler tricks first, but then they get stuck in a loop of never learning the fundamentals and never landing the cooler tricks, so they give up. Dont neglect the fundamentals. I hope you learned to kickflip.
@@ElliotHarvey-kv4fxI mean a shuv it is more important for mastering tres than Kickflip due to how similar the scoop is and such either way. Even skiddish said that in the full tutorial. I’m not saying that he shouldn’t learn Kickflip, but like with him closer to tres, more pop shuvs would definitely help him
Tre flip is all about explosion. Load up that tension between the back and front foot position and release the power into you back foot. If done correctly you barely have to try. A key tip is to train by doing high pop shove its because it's the same muscles in that back leg.
I can do Tres pretty consistently. They're not ugly, but definitely lower to the ground and sometimes sloppy. I've tried the high pop vertical method. It ends up just rotating too slow, on both axes (ak-seez) and lands half rotated and upside down.
I've done 'em off of reasonably high things and down small stair sets and it's always been a mystery to me. Impossibles were always my trick of choice.
I say this is every trick tip for these because it was the best tip anyone gave me. It must have been six months I was able to spin these perfect and id land lined up with the bolts EVERY time, however it would always be only my heels. Id see a lot of people landing too far forward but more feet on, so i have no idea how to fix it until a friend told me to KEEP MY SHOULDERS PARALLEL WITH THE BOARD , LIKE A KICKFLIP. A few tries later i got one, had em perfect in a couple weeks. And does he only own these shoes?
You should flick it tiny bit. There are people who can do this trick without using front foot at all. I’ve tried to learn it this way, the board does 360 shove but just half of kickflip so I end up landing with the board bottom up. After adding front foot I get full motion more often.
Front foot matters. It’s like a 30-70 being front and back foot. If it was ALL back foot the board would flip in heel flip rotation axis (if that makes sense) which gets your a 360 pressure flip (you can find this trick on RU-vid). The front foot is what counters that direction to go INTO the kickflip rotation axis. The front foot also is a piece that helps guide the path for the board to follow.
It’s actually as hard as they look, first of all, me and all my buddies where learning this trick back in the late 2000s and we snapped so many boards, it’s hard to train your mind to foot reflex to not land with both feet in the middle, then not to land with all the weight to the nose or tail, then to flick right, scoop just enough, to ride away with enough balance, place your foot in the right spot for your foot size vs board preference. It’s one thing to know the “right” techniques it’s an entirely other thing to put it into practice. Not to mention every one has different muscle development, muscle memory habits etc. It’s actually a very difficult trick. So I disagree with that sentiment. But nice trick tip 👍🏻
@@Skiddyskates well it true for the most part I use my back foot. But I notice the less I use my front foot the less control I have. I almost do a Ollie motion with my front foot as the board starts to go vertical. Not only does it help me pop the board but also control if I’m going up a curb for example at a weird angle and have to jump over.
@@Skiddyskates I just got done skating. I can better explain it now. When pressing down and scooping with my back foot. My front foot travels slightly up the board and flicks like a kick flip but flipping more off my big toe rather than pinky toe. Almost like I slight push it while flicking if that makes sense. Tbh it looks like you use your front foot the same. Like you front foot is the last contact the board has before it flips and rotates. I hope that helped explaining what I mean
I’m gonna respectfully disagree since everyone’s body anatomy is different. We should be showing the top common foot positions and common scoop approaches. So people can try all the combinations to see what works. If I had my foot at the same angle as my kickflip Id be over flipping each one tre. Same way there’s different ways people scoop (scooping forward, kicking the foot to your butt, etc) I give this video a C-.
