OK,
I started skating about 13 years ago, skated for 3-4 yrs, and now I've started skating again (at age 25).
I couldn't tell ya why I stopped, but I'm glad to be skating again.
Anyway, I can consistently land varial pressure flips, straight pressure flips, and a straight pressure flip but with 180 rotation of my body.
I recently started doing a variation on my varial pressure flip that I think is pretty cool. Usually for a varial pressure flip I put my front foot just behind the front truck bolts, almost in kick flip postion. That gives a nice rotation that is very similar to a varial kickflip.
I have started taking a wide stance, putting my front foot up on the nose. This stance makes the flip go almost veritcle, and I guess looks like a hard flip. Anyway, for those of you who can do a pressure flip, try that stance and see what happens, I think it adds a lot more style to the flip.
I recently have been trying to do what I call "nollie varial pressure flips" but I guess its not the right name since you don't actually nollie. I just put my front foot up on the corner of the board, my rear foot is still on the tail, and then I can flip the board from the nose. I still haven't gotten a consistent flip out of it. Can any of you do this? Any tips on the stance?
