Prerequisites: Skills to Have Before Attempting the Triple Flip

Before even thinking about a triple flip, you should have these tricks mastered:

  • Ollie: A high, clean ollie is the bedrock of virtually all skateboarding tricks.
  • Double Flip: Consistent double flips will give you the rotation control needed for the triple.
  • Pop Shuvit/BS Shuvit: Understanding board rotation in both directions will aid your spatial awareness.

Step-by-Step Guide to Nailing the Triple Flip

  1. Foot Placement: Your front foot should be angled slightly towards the nose, just behind the front bolts. The back foot sits in the pocket of the tail, ready for maximum pop.
  2. The Pop: A solid, forceful pop is critical. Drive your back foot down hard and immediately begin to slide your front foot up the board, initiating the rotation.
  3. The Flick: As your front foot slides, flick it out and forward off the edge of the board. This generates the first two rotations. Focus on a quick, controlled flick.
  4. Commitment: This is where many skaters falter. Once you've initiated the rotation, fully commit. Bring your knees up to your chest, allowing the board to rotate beneath you.
  5. Spot the Landing: As the board completes its rotations, start looking for your bolts. Aim to land with your feet over the trucks.
  6. Stomp and Ride Away: Absorb the impact by bending your knees. Ride away clean, keeping your weight centered.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Hesitation: Doubt can kill a trick. Commit fully once you pop.
  • Under-Rotating: Not flicking hard enough leads to incomplete rotations.
  • Leaning Back: Shifts your weight backward, making landing impossible.

Tips for Faster Progression

  • Practice Over Soft Surfaces: Grass or carpet can help reduce the fear factor.
  • Use Visual Aids: Watch videos in slow motion to analyze foot and body movements.
  • Break It Down: Practice the individual components (pop, flick, rotation) separately.
