[Zcoobs]

[tonyvaldez41]

[JMayo12345]

I have trouble getting my bak foot to get back over the board, Any advice?

[guitargrinder1]

im 10 so i have unstrong legs and so i need 2 know how 2 get da full spin

[skatemerika123]

@guitargrinder1 You've gotta just keep trying man, don't give up. Even if you can't get close to it, keep trying them whenever you skate and it'll just be a matter of time until you've got them PERFECT! Trust me!

[guitargrinder1]

@skatemerika123 thanks man

[CnCProductions1]

@guitargrinder1 look up Niga Huston-9 years old and then tell me u have unstrong legs

[sh1tmanthebarbarian]

@guitargrinder1 drink milk

[DREwestcoast]

for some reason my back foot can't seem to stay over the board at times

[sk8rsf0rlif3]

Heyy man thanks I've been skatin for about 9 months now and that helped out alot I can land then just not everytime but most of the time thanks again

[smoothskater007]

hey dude im just kinda scared to land on the board,but all else is good like the flicking and the scooping but im scared to land it.any tips?

[skatemerika123]

@smoothskater007 Well dude, its just a matter of commitment. If you make sure that you're leaning forward when you land, you shouldn't slide out at all if that's what you're worried about. Also, if you're on a smooth surface, they're generally easier to roll away from if you have a little more speed than normal.

[SethBadco]

i land 270 everytime:( and everytime i get full 360 rotation it flys out in front of me

[belsondaniel]

LOL toes are like little fingers

[GrafKaz]

nice vid

[muksuilija]

pls help me :0 I land my tre flips with my backfoot on the nose and my front foot next to the nose :( why is this? if i land with both of my feet on the board i never have enough flip.. how could i fix this? :)

[sk8r4christ730]

Thnx for the advice but I can get the rotation no problem I just can't land on the board

[AlmostSkater210]

i can get my rotation and land perfectley, but when i land i land on my nose, and its almost like a 270 or a little more. any advice man?...

[NikeSBsteeze]

i keep doing a varial flip any Advice??

[skatemerika123]

@NikeSBsteeze Yeah man, its not so much about the flick, as it is about the scoop. You have to really scoop it with your back foot. Watch 0:40 and onward in the video for a detailed description. Try that out and then get back to me about whether or not it worked.

[20OurBand09]

i have a problem with my landing . i get the flip perfectly but when i land it its always on the nose.

[skatemerika123]

Scoop the board forward like I show at 0:52 in the video, try that and let me know if it helps at all!

[lucianobrunoldi123]

I have problem with my flick sometimes i land with the board upside down any advice otherewise flick harder

[skatemerika123]

@lucianobrunoldi123 Yeah, try moving your foot further back on the board, for instance, if your front foot is up by the bolts, try moving it to the middle of the board. Make sense? Try it out and let me know if it helps!

[lucianobrunoldi123]

@skatemerika123 Okay ill try it and let you know as soon as it stops raining

[benjmorris]

I know what you meen by the subsciption

[TheSneakerPhase]

It look like 5 people don't like tre flips aha...

[nichterig]

fucked up sound

[haQzigs]

you have the smoothest treyyz i know!

[skatemerika123]

@haQzigs Thanks alot man, this was like 2 years ago though. I should make another video now and show you guys what they look like now (way better)

[haQzigs]

@skatemerika123 yea but they ''was'' 'are'' smoth like it sounds like you newer scoup you do it so simple :)

[skatemerika123]

@NoJamforyou Sorry but that's something that just takes practice. Don't worry about front foot catch until you can do like ten normal tres in a row with your eyes closed. If you can do that, then you will be comfortable enough with them that you can start adding some of your own style to them whatever that may be :)

[decan567]

MAN WTF ARE U PEOPLE TLKN BOUT THIS IS NOT A TRE FLIP A TRE FLIP IS A 360 FLIP 360 DUMMYS

[skatemerika123]

@decan567 lol dude IDK what YOU'RE talkin' about, but that's definitely a tre flip...

[DannyMetler]

@decan567 lmao wtf are you talking about? a 360 flip 360 flip is a big flip

[skatemerika123]

@NoJamforyou You have to be careful to not flick harder when you pop/scoop harder. You want it to flip the same, but higher, so just alter your popping/scooping motion without changing your other motions if that makes sense. Also, jumping higher helps too. It may seem kinda obvious, but thats a huge part that alot of people overlook.

[XFallenScreamoX]

hey i need alittle help lol. when i try tre flip, my board flips and spins perfect but i cant seem to land it. my board goes flying in my back or too much in front..

[skatemerika123]

@XFallenScreamoX I'd be happy to help you, but try reading through alot of the comments first, because this kind of question has been asked multiple times. If you read through them and don't find anything, then send me a message and I'll go into detail for you

[XFallenScreamoX]

@skatemerika123 hha no its ok i found out what my problem was ; i was kickin it behind me but then i tried kickin it in front of me and landed it with one foot x)

[conetto43]

Haaa i know that skate park at the end. Some locals there are just plain assholes.

[skatemerika123]

@conetto43 Haha I totally agree, which is why I dont skate there anymore

[haQzigs]

cant get the right flip but i almost always land perfect

on the other side of the griptape please give me a tip ?

[skatemerika123]

@haQzigs So it's doing the spin, but not the flip? You just need to flick a little harder then. Also, if you position your front foot at a more perpendicular angle in relation to the board, you can get more flipping power.

[MrSkater659]

i can get the full 360 but i always land on the nose or do not flip all the way........ what can i do

[2plus2equalsu]

that was a REALLY good explaination of the scoop, subscribed

[TheSkejtaren]

thanks man i can them already great ! trick tip

[andythe3]

i always land on the nose or infront of the board how do i stay over it

[skatemerika123]

@andythe3 You have to scoop the board forward like I show at 0:50. Try that out and let me know how it works

[Badachelli]

Most of the problems people have with tre flips are due to them not WHIPPING THE FUCK out of the tail. Its ALL about the 360 pop shuv it part. ALL. ABOUT. IT.

It'll feel odd because most of the tricks you learn (kflip hflip pop shuvit) dont require that much force.

[2000Benjim]

thankyou!

[TheDLPST]

ok i can get the 360 fine but i can only flip it halfway. can you please tell me what im doing wrong?

[skatemerika123]

@TheDLPST Try different front foot placements. Putting your front foot more towards the middle of the board rather than the front bolts may help. Also angling you foot so that it is more perpendicular to the direction you're riding helps it flip faster

[519homie]

Nice tre's man, and your kickflips are better than mine so...haha

[MrThemilkman369]

Hey man everytime i try this i usually get a varial kickflip what am i doing wrong?

[MOMOg33]

@MrThemilkman369 You are not scooping it hard enough

[teamjacob22et]

ok i havea really important question - i skate goofy and i can bs pop shuvit and heelflip can i do tht instead of a fs popshuvit and a kickflip plz write back

[MOMOg33]

@teamjacob22et well a tre flip is a 360 bs shuv and a kickflip alright and a lazer flip is a fs 360 shuv and a heel flip ok and an inward heelflip is a bs shuv and a heelflip but it looks nothing like those two i said earlier

[4123864]

Dude I need help pls I jus got bak to skatin again from 7 years of chillin n Now I can't do anything I'm tryin to kickflip I can flip it but I cnt land the fuckin trick can u help me pls

[MOMOg33]

@4123864 just keep practicing thats all you can really do but mike mo has a video that teaches you how to kickflip watch that

[DOMOxRAWR14]

LMao. this nigga just kicked that shit like nothing. Nice!

[skatemerika123]

@DOMOxRAWR14 Haha thanks, but I'm white

[Angeloskatemontage]

@skatemerika123 dude tomarrow im gonna practis my tres there not good but your are hella nice! good job

[hotdog424]

i try the treflip i get it on my back foot help 

[skatemerika123]

@hotdog424 Lol someone asked the same thing an hour ago. I'm gona ask you what I asked him: do you mean that the board is landing behind you, or that it's all perfect but that you just can't seem to get both feet on?

[hotdog424]

@skatemerika123 when ever i try it my back foot get on it first

[skatemerika123]

@hotdog424 Alright I'll try to help you. Do you think you could post a video response so I can see exactly what you're doing? That way I could help you much more precisely. If not, it's ok, you're just going to have to be more specific in your description of what is happening currently

[hotdog424]

@skatemerika123 ok i put my foot placement like you then when i scoop and flip i jump in the air and my back foot jets on it first

[skatemerika123]

@hotdog424 Ok, sounds like you might be leaning too far back or that you aren't popping it enough. I mean, if you're landing it, then I don't see the problem. Sure they're not gona look like Prod's or whatever but as long as you're landing them, the rest will just come with practice.

[hotdog424]

@skatemerika123 ok thanks man

[MLhomeskillit]

okay so whenever i do tre's i can get the full rotation and the flip easily but when i land i only get my backfoot on...any advice??

[skatemerika123]

@MLhomeskillit Ok, do you mean that the board is landing behind you, or that it's all perfect but that you just can't seem to get both feet on?

[MLhomeskillit]

@skatemerika123 i just can't get both feet on..like my board kinda goes behind but just enough stays so i can only get my backfoot on it, do you understand what im sayin??

[skatemerika123]

@MLhomeskillit Ok yeah, then you need to scoop it forward more like I show at 0:50

[MLhomeskillit]

@skatemerika123 alright, ill try that, thanks for the help: )

[OziPlay]

That's so awesome.

[ytperson82]

ur tre flips are so fucking amazing

[skatemerika123]

@ytperson82 thanks dude

[muckcityskateclan]

Nice vid. Mostly always land on my nose when I do them. I have some vids of me trying them. Comment and help

[skatemerika123]

@muckcityskateclan Alright, easy fix, you just need to scoop forward with your back foot a little more. Watch 0:50 for an example

[hotdog424]

@muckcityskateclan yea dude same thing happeneds to me i fuckin hate that

[guitarhero232]

when i do the kickflip part of the tre flip, i always push it down to the ground or really far away from me, not kicking it around, HELP?!?

[Extremesk8er100]

my back foot stays on the ground but i can land it with my front foot i need alot of help please

[SubscriberKid1]

thanks alot man i always landed on the nose but i never scooped forward i alwayzed scooped back so i landed on nose

[TreFlipuh45]

Mine are better.

[skatemerika123]

@TreFlipuh45 Notice the date in the video...like 2 years ago or something. Lol mine are a lot better now too, I would say my switch ones are better than the regular ones in this video. Besides, did I ask you if yours were better? Not really seeing the point of your comment....

[airsoftsk8ter360]

now i know why the board didn't scoop. thanks alot dude!

[jumbobelly645]

i like da vid

[melroseforlife]

i cant jump with the board and it goes to far in front of me

[4everwerd]

cnt tre flip because i do impossibles and im so use to my back foot staying on the board

[TimothyLinkous]

I can't get it to flip all the way Please any tips?

[skatemerika123]

@TimothyLinkous Yeah, experiment with different amounts of toe on the board, and at different angles if that makes sense. Also, if your foot is up by the bolts, it wont flip as much as if it is positioned more in the center.

[yomom1324]

codyandcindy its that your not flicking diagonal the more you flick side ways the less it spins :/

[shaggy13241]

smooth like butter

[jermelle121]

Nice vid clean tre's

[planbsk8er20]

nice tres, could you look at the vid on my channel and see if you could tell me wat im doing wrong ? i either land on the nose or i bounce off after landing thanks

[maskeetsk8er11]

buttery tres son!

[skatemerika123]

@maskeetsk8er11 thanks mang

[codyandcindy]

my problem is that i either kick too much and the board stops or i dont kick and it flys away, any answers for me?

[skatemerika123]

@codyandcindy You don't really want to kick it, you want to give it a little flick as it starts to turn. The thing that will help the most is to just keep practicing and practicing

[bizzyvictor]

you dont need to know pop shivits to tre.... look at the buttery ass family tree its all there.

[TheSFAweaponer]

what size is your deck ??

[skatemerika123]

@TheSFAweaponer I ride an 8.06 Real to be exact

[chickennuggets143]

@skatemerika123 does it seem any different than an 8

[skatemerika123]

@chickennuggets143 Not really. To be 100% honest it feels slightly slightly bigger if you've skated an 8 for a long time, but the adjustment is really easy and I like it better. But recently I went back to a normal 8 and it took me like 2 min to forget that I was riding a slightly slightly smaller board

[Do00oDb0ard3r]

every time i try and tre flip it goes into like a impossible thing...can someone help me pliz

[xSBVxNINJA]

uhh i just can't seem to get it...but i'm geting there. this vid helped.

[BIGLUU147MEXICO14]

lol ha YEA I Knw i feel you it took my a while to get my heel flips but i got them down .!!

an yea but i mean jux keep it up man nice .!!

[BIGLUU147MEXICO14]

dude yu got that trick in the bag yo their clean yo .!!

how long did it took you ..! ?

[skatemerika123]

Hey thanks man, they're actually quite a bit better now believe it or not. Uh, it took me about 8 months from the day I started skating until the day I filmed this.

[ImChrisRawrXD]

@BIGLUU147MEXICO14 lmao. How long did it took you? Learn how to spell bro.

[NYYGecko44]

thanks!

[rehman1995]

same i can fakie tho

[sirpepic]

i can get tres already and ive been learning for 2 days

[progamer55555]

wats with the annoying tapping thing behind the camera ever few seconds...its pissing me off.amazing 3 flips tho :D the wierd thing about me is that i can only do them NOLLIE but not REGULAR haha

[SMJTSkateboardingTV]

Sick Tres dude .

[bradlovestosk8]

i personally think tre flips are easier then kickflips i can land more tres in a row then kickflips lol but nice vid and sergio you need to get the basics down before you go for the harder tricks

[skatemerika123]

@bradlovestosk8 yeah for sure dude, tre flips are way easier once you have em down. But that's the problem, they're much harder to learn than kickflips

[ZooYorkxIMxBrent]

lol i finally saw someone that kickflips a little late like me =)

[theDMskategroup]

it's james

[ricecookermachine]

thanks alot,dude,,, it really helps alot! specially on the back foot position....

[bmwm5507hp]

ok dude i read ur info to the vid it helps man!!!!

[inagrand]

whats with that tapping behind the camera..?

[sergio300098]

nah son it doesnt work like that u dont need to know pop shove it , kickflip to learn a tre flip u dont need to know any trick to learn a new trick dude its personal preferance

[skatemerika123]

My whole purpose in saying that is so that people don't tryin to learn tre flips before they can even ollie up curbs...SON! So don't go telling me how to run my trick tip video

[itzNikTheNik]

i need help, i can get it to flip perfectly but i can only land it with my front foot, my back foot always touches down before i catch it with my front foot

[frogface4452]

then try to keep ur back foot up just try to focus on keeping the back foot up after u get the flip done

[ErRoNED690]

thats so nice,.. i tran that trick but i land it not

[michaelk123eh]

every time i try a tre flip i always get a varial never anything else but a varial and the more i scoop i dont get anything more then a varial

[skatemerika123]

It's cause you're flicking way too hard. You have to let the board get to like 75 degrees and then give it a nice smooth flick.

[SK8facts]

help i try to 360flip but when i try to put my back foot it f&/* up every thing.

[skatemerika123]

Ok, I'll try to help you, but you're gonna have to explain what's happening a little better

[SK8facts]

ok ill put a video soon thanks.

[misfitemo]

me too! every time

[OmnisushiFTWJohnO]

Sounds weird but...trust his description

Its in the thought of picturing yourself landing it

:)

[Snoodyboyz]

i got same problem doing a varial .. but anyways im out for skateing now..

[jarisk8]

DIRTY... UR 360 IS BAD, IS BORED

[SCHWERDTy2009]

how come i can 360 shove and kick flip and a TON of other sick ass tricks but when i try to trre i always do a fucked up varial......

[skatemerika123]

Because you're timing is off for one, and because you're popping it more than you should be. You have to scoop it forward like I show you in the video. And for the timing thing, you have to scoop and kinda let the board turn 90 degrees before you even flick.

[NorrisRochelle]

yea i do a varial kick flip in stead of a tre flip I cant land varial kick flips perfectly but i can do a tre flip want me to show u a video so you can tell me what im doing rong?

[skatemerika123]

Yeah sure that would help

[NorrisRochelle]

kk ill make it now

[NorrisRochelle]

i made the vid im sending it to you now

[10025276]

you should also try to apply

pressure when you put your foot in the pocket

[AngelTheNerd]

because your popping not scooping. and your front foot is flicking upward not out.

[randomskater95]

this helped

[ferrarix24]

Dude those are some sick trays!(:

[skatemerika123]

Thanks dude

[ferrarix24]

Are you Sponsered?

[skatemerika123]

Naw man, I might be able to if I made a video, but I don't have a good enough camera. Lol, this video was filmed with my phone

[xXxTTBonexXx]

thanks!!!!!!!!!

this helped so much

im not kiding. thank you!!!!!!!1

[MrDavidjamie]

i find these hard to get the full rotation

[skatemerika123]

When first learning them you really have to pop/scoop with all your might

[unknownskater1001]

thanks skateemerica123 your relly big tip rreally wokz thank lol

[skatemerika123]

Thanks for verifying that man! No one ever believes me but it really works!

[BeeEigen]

nvm lol the shadow messed me up lol

[BeeEigen]

anyone else notice that at 0:49 he pulls his griptape off?

[skatemerika123]

Dude, what are you talking about?

[goofyskaterenjoi1]

nice tres man keep it up

[fuzzyblob123]

i saw it he just kinda pulls it up with his hand

[europefan1]

Wh00t?!

[andrewcayas12]

steezey treys nigga

how do you get the full rotation

when ever i try it goes in to varial

[planBskater858]

scoop very hard the exact way he says in this trick tip. it should work. i just learned them yesterday from this tip

[andrewcayas12]

thx

haha

i got the full rotation

and landed kinda sketchy though

[letsfly875]

every time i try to kick flip i get the rotation of the board down but i can never get my front back on

[dan960bml]

how do you keep the tre flip from hitting your feet?

are three flips and tre flips the same????????/
