Laser Flip

THE LAZER FLIP

This is a hard trick and before being attempted i would reccomend getting these tricks down:

1.F/S 360 Shove it

2. Varial Heels

3. Heels

If you ahve these down very well, you're ready to go.

FOOT PLACEMENT

FRONT FOOT – Exactly like a varial heel! Your toes hanging off slightly with the ball of your foot on the edge of the board. About halfway on the deck. Make sure it's about half way or it will be hard to get the spin.

BACK FOOT – Like a Frontside flip. Your toes should be on the opposite edge of the tail as your front foot is on the deck. You will want your toes to be on the VERY edge of whatever edge of the tail your foot is on.

THE FLIP

It's very hard to do this.

What you will want to do is two things.

First, you will need to pop and scoop with your back foot your ABSOLUTE hardest to get the f/s 360 shuv it. This will be very difficult but when you dod it, make sure to suck your legs up as high as possible.

AT THE SAME TIME

You need to slide your font foot diagonally off the board in a heelflip manner. This will give the board the heelflipping motion.

The most important thing to remember here is to JUMP AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE so the board doesn't get caught in your legs.

THE CATCH

The catch for this is vrey simple.
You will catch the board with your front foot and just as it is being caught wih your front foot, stomp your back foot down so you can land the trick without the board flipping any more.

*** THE BOARD WILL ALMOST ALWAYS LAND BESIDE YOU SO AS YOU FLIP THE BOARD MAKE SURE TO JUMP IN THE DIRECTION WITH THE BOARD TO MAKE IT EASIER TO LAND ***

Trouble shooting

Problem – The board always gets caught in my legs!

Solution – Jump higher or suck up higher!

Problem – The board lands beside me

Soltuion – Make sure you jump with the board to put yourself at ease!

Problem – the board doesn't get the full heelflip

Solution – Be sure to slide your front foot off in a diagonal direction and not straight off!

HOPE THIS HELPS!
