Yeah I went there, the dirtiest flip of them all. The one nobody likes to talk about. I set up a Heroin little egg deck and it occurred to me that I might be able to do pressure flips just like I did 30 years ago and after much concerted sweaty effort I landed a couple so now it’s over to you.
Updated cos of music bollocks. Pressure flip first this time
Firstly there’s no way I’m tightening my trucks. I’m a proper princess about my setups
I bugged @franc for tips on these and they just don’t really make sense to me. I always end up popping the board
I promise I’ll give it a go just for you mate. I used to do a sort of pressure hard flip, might film one and see if it passes muster
Someone once told me they’re closer to a hippie jump than an ollie in that you sort of just jump off the board but poke one side down with your back toes at the same time? Happy for any tips
In my youth I used to think I was doing hardflips but was actually doing these and would try them down steps, once I learned my mistake I can’t remember ever trying one again
You just apply loads of pressure to the edge of the deck and push it down so it touches the floor and bounces around under you then you just stab your feet at it and hope for the best.
