sweet thanks man can u do it ? was it hard the first time ?

 

[Kenny O.]

no, i hate flips But everyone that doesnt have a foam pit, ive seen use either of those.

 

[kyle christensen]

uhh yeah, if you try them make sure you push your legs out when you go off the ramp and huck it. dont get lazy just keep rotating

First of all, I am suggesting you don't TyPe LiKe ThIs...it makes you look like a wee little noob, which isn't good. I haven't done one, but I've heard that you huck it at the top of the ramp, don't lean back when your actually going up the transition or you'll manual up it and smack your head on the lip. Good luck

I suggest getting some kind of thick mattress and buying a bunch of foam cube and putting them in a net than throw that ontop of the mattress. Its not that safe though, I'd wait to take a trip to a park with a pit to try them.

thast wat i say all the way to the jump then hopefor the best

 

[ojfross]

i say just go for it.

 

[brandon kilbury]

alllright, id suggest a ramp into a lake or pool or something, if no water, maybe a snowbank, if none of those, just go for it on a ramp and commit, 9/10 times you wont get hurt as much if you commit than if you bail.

dont manual up the tranny, sort of follow it, instead of keeping your head up while you go up it so you go forward, keep leaning back with the tranny so you come off it with a flip going, but you wont hit your head. tuck up and if you make at least half the flip youll be able to see ground agian and save yourself

[Cary Mosbrucker]

[Kenny O.]

haha yup looks like he did

Ive done the flip two ways, i dont know the correct terminology but its like this:

BMX flip- usually done off tables and such but good for anything and looks cool, the rider pulls upwards while barely bending his knees and tossing his head back, ive hit my head on a 3 ft doing this but with the helmet it didnt hurt too bad

/\You dont start this until your front wheel has hit the coping and dont lean foward with the transition, stay perpendicular if you know what i mean

Tuck flip- Good for anything except small kickers. Basically the BMX flip except instead of pulling super hard pull at a medium force and pull the scooter up while bending your knees a lot for fast rotation, it takes some getting used to cause youll most definatly lose teh scooter but its easier to pick up

/\Some people start this like the BMX flip others start when half the scooter is out, its all personal preference


To me the tuck flip is safer and easier for someone without access to a pit

sweet thanks evryone ay i didnt even change the title i guess it was just scared of him haha well any way im lookin forward to tryin it i myt go wif the pool first to just get the rotation then go straight to the ramp
