Fakie 360 flip trick tip

Even though it might be easier to flip the board from fakie position, it's still an advanced trick. Landing in fakie can be troublesome as well.


(Video by Switchfoot)

1. 1

   Start riding fakie in about the same position as for a varial kickflip, but put your front foot more towards the tail.
   
   



2. 2

   Crouch down a little and lean/turn a little in the direction of the rotation.
   
   



3. 3

   Pop the board and at the same time shove it with both feet.
   
   



4. 4

   Immediately after that, slightly tap the heelside of the board with your front foot to make the board flip.
   
   Let the board rotate 360 degrees.
   
   
   
   
   



5. 5

   Catch the board in the air. Then bend your knees a little to absorb the impact and ride away fakie.
   
   

Tips

•
