Ya, ive been practicing these both regular and switch but i have a problem. i keep landing them 90 degrees but i cant seem to get the extra 90 degrees and when i do get a full 180, i dont roll the direction i am going. i just stop dead. any tips for both problems?

Yeah, i had that problem when i was forst learning them, it's a *****. well things i find that help with the full rotaion are to mabye just carve in the direction your about to flip like the second before you pop also a bit of a wind up with the shoulders can help, i know i've posted this before but it (sorta) shows my little carve into it before i pop......

Well it's just all in the shoulders. turn your shoulders and your legs will follow just really concintrate on doing that. also when kicking the flip kick way more out than you normally would for a kickflip because then you have sorta already done a 90 when your kicking which makes things alot easier.

yea ive been having the same problem with the fs flip so i shall go try it later. what i might try to do is go for the trick moving a little bit faster because i have found that tricks are easier moving fast for example kickflips flip faster the faster you are moving.

I don't get it, for me B/s 180s were harder to learn, yet I learned B/s Flips way before I learned F/s Flips. Hmm. Wierd

wow thanks for reviving this thread for that insanely pointless comment.

but since i am here ill put in my two cents. i have an easier time doing fs flips the hardflip method(basically a hardflip body varial) instead of the kickflip way. so maybe experiment with ways to do it. i just recently tried the hardflip way and its better for me.
