my advice would be to learn them on a vert wall or some pretty big quarter, learn them under the coping because with something that big it should be steep enough to pop out and land a little lower without having to pop off coping. Im by no means amazing at flairs, but of all the obstacles ive tried them on, big quarters-under the coping have been the easiest to get consistant.

as for the trick, just pop off pretty much the same as you would if you were gunna backflip to fakie, but drop your shoulder to whichever way you want to spin, after a few goes you figure out the flip and everything and its just getting it dialed.

and for you jon, it might help to approach the quarter with your front wheel sideways, just a thought

like brandon said big qurter under coping drop the shoulder dont think about sspinning at all it nothing like that commit and look for your landing illl try and teach you next time you ride if you havent done it by then

haha thnx, qp- bank im scare shit off incase i were to over rated and hit the edge of the quarter or sumethin. they look so fun, rahmel does thm all the time and if he messes up he just slides down, never got hurt, where should i drop my shoulder? as soon as my back wheels pops?
