Popping tre flips

[Vegeta]

How do you pop tre flips higher? When I do mine they feel like a really hard shuvit and barely get off the ground. the only time i can get some air on them is when doing them on a euro gap  or a bump, but on flat i cant even pop them over a board. I see people popping them into grinds, or over stuff and it just blows my mind how some peeps can tre flip 50 on a knee high ledge.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I've only ever learned them by just kicking my board like a hard varial which as a kid blew my mind after trying and failing them for so long by many people's methods of scooping, then flipping. I think it was just a case of being less conscious of the former and thinking more of the flick.

That's how I get mine to flip a bunch, plus I tend to put a lot of pressure on back foot and then pop it, flicking as hard as I can with my front foot to get the flip going. If I'm skating up a Euro gap or something then I tend get my front foot more on the board to flick it outwards with more force and get it flipping quicker.

Maybe try that if you're going up/over or onto something?

pop then scoop

I can mostly feel that on pyramid hips (on flat with old man legs is harder) but the more actual ollie action you will put into the pop, the more you'll be able to just suck your feet up and have the board come up along with them if that makes sense. Basically don't think of the scoop as something sideways and have it all be in the foot positioning, toes on the right pressure points, I know I lodge my front foot deeper and closer to the center of my board when I'm using the momentum of a bank to get height (pyramids again). Then once in place all you should have to do is pop straight down and literally just ollie, then just the ollie motion (dragging your foot up) combined with the flick at top should form the trick. You want to form it on your way up and catch it at the peak if not earlier (that's really talking ideally) even if that means sort of shiftying it on occasion. Aim for a brutal vertical spring, bring your knees up, think strong smack and rebound of the tail to then redirect by sort of flinging upwards. You kind of want a quick flip as well which is why on some good ones sometimes the board barely seems to really flip and looks like it barely detaches from the front foot (which doesn't mean you now have to be silly with your back foot).

This is probably especially valid for popping 360 flips over something by the way, maybe not into grinds, I've never tried that.

Maybe you can give us the lowdown

You basically dont scoop and just pop down hard and your foot positioning is not hanging over the edge as much. it is morre towards the back rather than close to the bolts. What I mean when i say you dont scoop is that your muscle memory is already gong to want to scoop if you are thinking about doing a treflip so now just focus 90% on popping down and 10% on the scooop and you should still be slightly scooping enough to get your full rotation.

watch jordan mourning explain it in this vid

You just pop it like your going to Ollie high than start the tre flip a millisecond later

Make sure you're popping them on the way up, not at the top of your jump. Also make sure you're popping down before you "scoop" to impart the rotation, thinking of it as two separate motions helped me.

Also found that a shorter board with a tighter wheelbase makes them less tiring to do over and over again if you're grinding.

At what point do I ‘ride away clean’?

Absolute myth.  Cannot be done.
