Back 3’s
« on: April 26, 2021, 03:12:31 PM »
Curious to hear any tips on this one.  I’ve come close, but do not have them dialed by any means.  It’s such a cool trick and when I started skating (early 90’s) they weren’t that common so I never learned them as a kid. 

Where I’m at:

I can do the backside 180-pivot around thing, but I want to learn to scoop them all the way around, or at least minimize the pivot. 

Anybody advice for learning these? 

Shalom-

I can successfully get the “impossible” method/version on a pyramid but when I try on flat it falls apart.. I’ll either land with my front foot way off the board or lose the board mid air and it flips. What’s a good tip for getting that last 90 degrees and landing straight when doing em on flat??

Many thanks sir.  After Lurking forever, then finally deciding to post something, I had to put some respect on SLAP and come correct with a decent name

This was a good post.  Thanks man.  Confirmed my suspicions.  I suck at impossibles too since it was sort of an illegal trick when I was a kid, but I can do em and I tried a few today to get that scoop motion.  I’ll keep at em, then try spinning with it.

Scoop is identical to a tre flip. Also pop straight down/jump straight up when scooping.
The most important part to me is keeping my shoulders and hips aligned in air. Trick feels completely awkward and I lose my bearings in midair if my shoulders are slightly ahead of my hips/vice versa.
Edit: don’t forget to wind up a bit

swing shoulders/arms before the pop?

1) This guy has em dialed in instagram.com/p/B_IHlXQl0M_/
2) I am slowly starting to figure them out. What really helped me was trying them out of a bank (More airtime => getting around becomes easier)
