Hey everyone i am new to this site and im just trying to get some help with this trick. It's a varial flip. I can get the rotation when i dont try to put both feet on it but whenever i go for it I only get half the flip. This trick has really got me messed up because ive been trying it for so long and i really wanna get it down so i can move on to tre flips but i really need to nail this first. Does anyone have any advice that might help me to nail it? Thanx in advance for any comments

As Jamie Thomas said, "Skating is 75% thinking, 25% doing. Think about what your doing and how you could improve it, to make it flip.
Make sure your flipping up and out and not kicking the board down, this is a common mistake. Also try to flick it slightly later than you normally would, when the board has started to turn. It should sorta feel like your flicking it toward the outside nose. Its hard to explain. Good luck.

u need more hight so bend ur knees a little more befor you pop, and when u set u feet up 4 for normal kickflip tilt ya foot slightly and get the board 2 flip 180 by using ur toes 2 do all the work at the front, then suck your legs up asif u where doing a ollie catch and land

just think of it as a popshovit and then use ur front foot to flick it...when i do them i shovit really hard and flick it but i dont care how much it flicks as long as i stay above my board. u have to stay above ur board and pay attention to that. even if it lands upside down but u landed on it..ur closer to landing it ...after that just flick it harder.....prrrractice....i think theyre easier than kickflips for some reason
