Tre Flips

for some reason every time i try a tre the board rotates fine just lands pretty far behind me so i can only land my backfoot on the nose of the board.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Parker, if you're at a high enough level to even be attempting 3 flips, then you're at a high enough level to teach yourself how to correct that problem.

soy escuala, today was the first time i've started attempting them but even after trying like 50 times i still couldn't fix the problem so i'm guessing it's something with foot placement

can you frontside flip? backside flip? hardflip?

thats a common problem, what you need to do is simple.. lean back more and kick it more in front of you.. dont jump strait up with it like you would on a trampoline. just lean back more.

learning new tricks is so self explanatory, if the board is falling behind you.. what should you do? kick it out in front of you more. Cool

Parker, also, if you keep your handle in a little more, you will not be dragged forward as much. hope that helped..

McLOVIN, thank you, 3 flips aren't a huge deal on a skateboard, countless numbers of people 3 flip with ease

The key is getting enough time in the air. Try them like this and you will have more luck, guaranteed.

Its all in the back foot. Took me a minute to figure it out. My advice is drink a few beers before you give it your all, cause learning hurts like a mofrucka

wakeskating or skateboarding...doesnt matter. like soy said if you trying a 3-flip and cant figure out that you need to scoop it in front of you more than you might not be ready. if its falling behind than its probably because you spinning it straight back instead of out behind you butt and towards you lead hip more
