0:55 2 Ways to learn the forward flip
USING OPTION #1
1:35 Option #1: For those unsure about evading tricks (safer option)
----1:38 FIRST: Try to get the rotation, make it flip vertical
----1:52 SECOND: Get your front foot to land somewhere back on the board
----2:05 THIRD: Land with your front foot on the board either 3/10 or 5/10
2:25 Getting the Forward Flip Rotation
----2:33 Foot Placement (mentioned in previous video)
--------2:38 MY RECOMMENDED FOOT PLACEMENT
3:15 Popping/Flicking the Forward Flip (Have this in your head when practicing rotation)
----3:15 DO A KICKFLIP + 3 Differences
3:38 The rotation business is done for Option #1
COMMON PROBLEMS
3:51 Problem #1: Slow Rotation
4:18 SOLN #1: Be good at ollies and kickflips
4:28 SOLN #2: Drag properly
---- 4:34 IMPORTANT NOTE HERE
4:41 SOLN #3: Pop the board hard/solid
4:46 SOLN #4: Try popping the board vertical
5:15 SOLN #5: Flick Outwards
5:32 Problem #2: Nose smashes the ground
5:42 SOLN #1: Flick Outwards
5:49 SOLN #2: Try popping the board vertical
6:13 Problem #3: You forward flip looks like a varial flip (I DO NOT COUNT THESE AS FORWARD FLIPS)
(ps: didn't have my slow motion camera on me at the time, haha)
6:31 SOLN #1: Drag AND flick straight outwards
6:40 SOLN #2: Have your front foot fully on the board
6:54 SOLN #3: Get your toes to hit the toe-side edge of the nose instead
7:16 Problem #4: You get NO pop in my "recommended" foot placement
----7:29 Why this may happen #1
----8:26 Why this may happen #2
You start leaning after you pop:
7:43 SOLN #1: Distribute your weight EXACTLY like a kickflilp
----7:59 SOLN #1.1: Keep your center of weight between your feet at all times
You flick too early:
8:40 SOLN #2: Do a lot of kickflips
9:09 SOLN #3: Try popping vertical on you
9:35 Problem #5: Your forward flips mess with your kickflips
9:48 How to counter this problem
9:55 Work on kickflips again, relax
BACK TO OPTION #1:
You have a somewhat consistent rotation (3/10 is fine along with landing with your front foot)
11:52 Why we did this
12:08 You should be able to predict the outcome of any flick (helps loads for safety)
12:43 TIME TO LAND USING OPTION #1
12:48 How to land the forward flip/keep the board under you
13:55 You feel like you flicked the board weird
14:10 The downside of Option #1
LAST COMMON PROBLEM
14:42 Problem #6: You can't keep the board under you, the board moves ahead of you
14:51 SOLN #1: Do many many many kickflips, trick your brain
----15:19 SOLN #1.1: Use your weight distribution that you use for kickflips with your forward flips
15:37 The only differences between the kickflip and forward flip
USING OPTION # 2
15:45 Option #2: Those who want to get right into it
----15:54 The downside of Option #2
16:08 Getting started with Option #2
16:20 THE FULL SUMMARY OF THE FORWARD FLIP (for Option #1 and #2)
17:48 The GOOD/BAD of Option #1 and #2
18:20 A good way to learn: compare your technique with mine, see where we are different
18:53 My train of thought
