pressure flips

[Skata G]

can any one help me with a pressure flip

[Fenix]

what exactly is a pressure flip? ive heard a few different things but im not sure on exactly what it is.

[aronsamma]

its a kickflip with your back foot. i dont know how to do it though

[Mr Nono]

its hard to explain but u make your board bouce you don`t pop the board you just put your toes on the heel side of your board and bouce back and land on it it a very weird trick

[flip sk8er]

i think its a kind of freestyle trick but im not sure.

you can also do another trick which is called a back foot flip or a late flip which is kind of similar except you ollie then kickflip with your back foot.

[FreestylinFreak]

i think its a mik of freestyle and street
i also thought that it lookod more like a varial flip than a kick flip
does any one out there have any idea how to place you feet for this trick!?!?!?!:confused:

Got this from boardpass.com for ya (I suggest people check out that site if they have trick problems.

Pressure Flip

Place your back foot on the edge of the tail and your front in the middle of the board just like an ollie. Pop the board with your back foot and slide your front foot forward to straighten the board out (just like and ollie). Heres the hard part, while in the air, kick your BACK foot out flipping the board with your back foot. Be sure to get that foot out of the way while the board is flipping. When the board flips in one full rotation, plant your feet on the board and ride away smoothly.

ive seen that other places too but i always thought that it was done on the ground WITHOUT an ollie. this is y i cant find a good just the way you put pressure on the bord that makes it flip. thats where the name comes from. what you posted would b more like the back foot k/filp flip sk8er was talking about.......HELP!!

:confused:

I can pressure flip pretty good and i learned what they are and how to do it at http://www.mtek.chalmers.se/~m95niri/
So i suggest to go there and check it out.

i think it may be called a pressure flip because you don't have much time to do it, you have to pop, level and kick out with your back foot, its really hard to do with an ollie....

[aronsamma]

no, its called a pressure flip because you put pressure on the side, and when you jump, it flips.

put you back toe where the tail begins to curve, and your front foot in the middle

have all of the pressure on your back foot

jump, push down, and sweep you back foot like a pop shuvit

the board should do a varial kickflip


i can do these, pressure ollies, and pressure shuvits. its hard to explain this trick without me showing you, but i think youll figure it out

[FreestylinFreak]

what do pressure ollies, and pressure shuvits look like????:confused: :confused:

[aronsamma]

pressure shuvits are old school shuvits (without a pop) sort of. it just happens accidentally when you try to pressure flip sometimes. they are really high though.

pressure ollies dont look all that much different than a normal ollie. the only difference is to foot position, really

[FreestylinFreak]

thanks aronsamma :D

i learned how to do non pop shuvits before pop-shuvits i find them easier to land too but how do you get the board to flip i think i have the footing right but all it will do is shuvit or 360 shuvit but it will never flip!!! do you have any tips for that

also at the web site that Chekos posted it looks like the feet are doing a body varial does that make the trick easier??:confused:

If any of you are fans of Rodney mullen, you'll understand how to "pop" a pressure flip. It's similar to Popping a flip from primo. You don't want to flip so much, it's just putting the pressure at the right time, and having good timing. I've flipped a nice nice fakie pressure flip once...I noticed that I put just enough pressure on it, to make it hit the ground, and the board will sort of bounce off...which gets the air. It's a tough trick...I don't think I've ever fully landed one though. If I land one or something (I think I'm gonna have to go work on these some more!), I'll be sure to get it on tape.

[aronsamma]

body varials dont make it any easier for me, but it might help to get your feet out of the way... make sure to snap your foot downwards on the way up while ur jumping. tell me if it works
