Question for people who can 360 flipā¦ can you pop shove it really well?
Total opposite of what you asked, but I could pop shove and 360 pop shove pretty well. At least I used to do quite high ones with a catch when I was skating every day (long time ago). But done maybe 3 proper 360 flips in my life. Totally different trick.
Interesting.
Iāve never been able to shuv the board backside, it just feels impossible and unnatural, unlike frontside, which I can do relatively ok.
Butā¦ I feel I canāt spend a lifetime skating and never land a 360 flip, so Iām committing to learn them and wondering if working on a solid backside pop shuvit first would be wise.

Probably would help. Properly popped shoves are more of a vertical motion than a tre which needs a nearly horizontal scoop. Even if you do a 360 one, youāre still mostly popping almost vertically down, at least if you want some height. But I guess itās still mostly the same movement so Iām sure if would help. But it feels very different. Maybe Iām just weird though.

Im not a massive fan of tre flips because they donāt feel like anything else. You could spend a lifetime fucking about with shoves, 360 shoves and shove it flips but theyāre a completely different feeling to all of those
The best I can manage as a description is hang your back toes and try to get that foot on the edge of the rail as much as possible. Scoop the tail and try to get it to the hit ground (which is the weird tre flip pop).
I have no fucking clue what the front foot does. It feels like it does a quarter of a mob kickflip
Used to be able to tre fine but since ankle wreckage canāt seem to get them down consistently.
Have watched about 1000 tutorials on youtube, I think you just got to keep watching and trying until you find a technique that clicks

I do them (badly) in the style of Conhuir Lynn with both feet pointing forward. Its all in the back foot the front doesnt really do a huge amount.
Nothing like a shove it.

Iāve only ever managed to do them out of kickers or on driveways. Probably only 3 ever on flat in 25 years.

I can do both and theyāre pretty different.
360 flips could be the best feeling trick. Those or backtails.
Thereās many different techniques for 360 flips, just try loads of different foot placements and see what works for you. As others said, the front foot doesnāt do much, itās all in that back foot scoop.
Treat yourself, learn them!
