360 flips suck
« on: January 28, 2009, 03:04:14 AM »
So, every time I try one I either land it, break my board, or roll my ankle. What the fuck?

Why does this happen? My short ass legs don't have the power to pop them high, especially not after I've been off my board for 4 months because my my ACL surgery; but damn. I just can't get them down. Period.

How the hell can I get my popping higher? I can ollie pretty much 4 boards interlocked which ain't shit but my 360 flips barely clear the ground.

try putting your front foot back a little further and don't flick your foot too hard.
I feel the trick is in your backfoots toes

no such thing as too stubby for 360 flips.
just wrap your toes around the side of the tail and just kick it behind you.
your front foot doesn't even have to flick that hard...just leave it out in front to catch your board with.
DUH doodoo head.

the key to this trick is to not really try that hard.

maybe post some footy of you trying it so we can know how to assess the situation.  it might be your upperbody being turned too open or you're not bringing your back foot up.  without seeing, no one can really give you sound advice...

I can land them sometimes, I just get hurt or break boards A LOT. I think its all in my weak legs from being short, fat and lazy.
