Does anyone have tips or pointers on flips out of front tailslides, or atleast that position as I'm trying them out of switch slappy noseslide which I'm far more comfortable with as opposed to tailslides. The issues I run into is either A) I jump too far forward and land on the nose (which I guess means I should jump less) or B) I start to turn when I go for the flip out but my body underrotates compared to the board (probably due to the fact I learned 270 shoves out first so I became used to turning out that way). Some clips below of tryna film one the other day
My knowledge is coming from tailslide kickflip out to fakie but based on the kid that does noseslide flip out at the park, it looks like the principles are similar. Here's my tips, some may apply more than others.
Ollie into the trick with your feet, particularly your front foot, in the flip position. Adjusting on the ledge leaves a greater chance for fucking up your slide. Unless you're just that graceful maybe. Ollieing with my back foot more on the board means it lands on the ledge, in the slide, with better leverage for the pop out.
Your shoulders dictate the direction. Landing shoulders squared with the tails for the initial slide but pointing your lead shoulder as you get ready to flip out. For flipping out to fakie I start opening up my shoulders on the ledge, as in orient my upper body towards the nose. The opposite is true for landing to regular.
Go for the flip with momentum from the slide, don't wait until you run out of speed at the end. That momentum will carry the board with you as you flip out. The whole thing should be a fluid motion. It looks better and actually makes it easier, even if the timing is harder to grasp at first.
It seems like you have the flick pretty good, but either way, an exaggerated point for flick helped me a lot. Toes towards the nose, closer to the side of the board, further back from the bolts
Also, give it time. Some people maybe got flip outs easy but it took me a year and a half and focused, labored sessions to start really getting them.
