Today I will be demonstrating how to do a tre flip on a finger board, also known as a three-sixty kick flip. A three-sixty kick flip is a combination of a three-sixty pop shuvit and a kick flip. Finger positioning for the kick flip is your back finger hanging off just a little bit behind the back four bolts and your pointer finger right behind the front four bolts. But just the tip of your front finger on it. When you do this trick you want to pop and pull your middle finger towards you in a scooping motion. This will turn the board three hundred and sixty degrees while flipping the board, doing a tre flip. Once you have mastered the tre flip, then the next trick you want to learn is the faky tre flip. For the faky tre flip you are going in the opposite direction but your stance is the same as your regular tre flip. The finger positioning for the faky tre flip is exactly the same as the regular tre flip except in this case it’s actually a lot easier because you have momentum to do the faky tre flip. Nailing swiss tres are a bit more difficult. The reason for this is your stance is completely the opposite of your regular stance. For these two tricks I recommend not hanging your finger off the back of the tail. Instead keep it square with the board and to help turn the board three hundred and sixty degrees it’s helpful to turn your wrist with the board. It’s usually a lot more comfortable if your back finger is just square on the tail rather then hanging off. If you don’t turn your wrist with the board it might be difficult to turn the board a full three hundred and sixty degrees but by turning your wrist it’s a lot easier to flip the board. That’s how you do a three sixty kick flip.

The heelflip is a very difficult trick. To do the heelflip you want to make sure you know how to do an ollie and it helps if you know how to do a kickflip. Now, unlike the kickflip where you’re flicking your finger off to the side towards you, you’re actually going to be flicking away from you. This is going to make the board spin away from you rather than towards you. The finger positioning for the heelflip is your back finger right on the tip of the tail, so you can pop it nice and hard against the table. And your front finger right at the back of the front fore bolts. What I like to do when I do heelflips is kind of curl my front finger, just a little bit, right as I begin to pop the board. That helps me pop, and then kind of flick it away from me a lot more easily than if my finger was flat. The way I learned heelflips when I first started is try turning the board towards you, as if you’re doing a front side heelflip. The reason for that is it’s easier to flick the entire board away from you if it’s coming towards you like this. So as you pop it towards you, you can kind of just roll your hand off the side, making it spin away from you. Once you can make the board spin away from you as it’s turning towards you, then just work on, instead of turning it towards you just straighten it out a little bit more and before you know it you’ll go from having heelflips like that, to heelflips that are straight. After you’ve mastered the heelflip you can try a few variations. You can learn to do nollie heelflips, fakie heelflips and switch heelflips. For a fakie heelflip you’re moving in the opposite direction, popping off the front of the board and doing the heelflip. For a nollie heelflip you’re moving in the same direction as a regular heelflip, which is forward, but popping off the nose and doing the flip with your middle finger. For a switch heelflip you’re riding in the opposite direction again, popping with your pointer finger and doing the heelflip with your middle finger. And that’s how you do the heelflip.
