HALFCAB FLIP.
BACK TO TIPS MENU




01 For this you need to be comfortable with fakie kickflips and fakie 180s (half cabs). Start by riding fakie with your feet in a kickflip position. Have your back foot slightly more over the toe edge.




02 Like a standard half cab - coil the opposite way than you want to 180 flip round as you crouch. This should be done with your upper body, and try to stay over your board.




03 As you pop and your body rises, let your upper body uncoil. As you're popping your tail your torso should be facing the way that you are riding which will help your legs to follow your upper body and actually get around 180 degrees.

 




04 As you're rotating keep your eyes on the board. If you've not popped high enough, chances are your board will hit the ground before you've rotated a full 180 or flipped the board fully.


 




05 On flatground, your board will come back to your feet after the flip about the same time as you complete your 180. Be sure to give it enough room to flip before stomping down on it.As you come to the point of putting the front (although it's now the back) of your board down first, be careful not to lean over in that direction or your weight distribution being uneven will cause your board to shoot out from under you.





06 As you catch the board and land, you'll be riding normal stance which makes it a bit easier. Don't worry if you don't get the full 180 right away, that will come with more power in your rotation and more coil. As always, aim for the truck bolts as it's easy to land with your back foot right on the tail with this trick. Good luck!
