its moreso committment..to keeping yourself above the board
many flip tricks have a tendency to drift away...but its because the lack of committment on the riders part..to staying above the board and committing onesself to landing(or falling)
try a few, dont be afraid to fall(it happens)...i'm betting you will see what i mean |

start with just doing 360 shove-it's to get the timing of the rotation and to focus on landing on the board properly.
move your feet to your kick-flip stance and continue doing the 360 shove-it's to get familiar with your footing and timing.
now add the ollie emphasizing on the shove-it part instead of the kick flip and you should be landing at least small 360 flips in no time.
hope that helps... |

Hold the joystick to the left, and when you just pop up, press "A" three times and "B" twice.

I was gonna say, "Not be me" but I like your answer better. |

| The Scoop and flick are the easy part ,at least for me .I tried 'em for almost 10 years but landed consistently w/out front foot , just the back foot catches.The secret as it was told to me was as you ollie,hop forward.that was the missing link, i landed my 1st one that day, a couple more nothing special. i'm 37 and flip tricks never were part of my repetior.so I've made a party trick out of it. tre-flip one-foot w/front foot on deck of ramp or bowl, to staple-gun(aka "dog piss" in)! |
