Ok, first off, I searched for a while before making this thread.

Now, Does anyone know how to do an umbrella flip? I see kids doing them and they say it is just a two handed donoflip with a 180. But the scooter doesnt go over there head at all. In an umbrella flip, is the scooter supposed to go over your head or what?

So in short, can anybody give a short simple tutorial on how to do Umbrella flips, I wanna try some soon

Thanks :)

lol.
on flat, try a 180 bri but pull the deck from your left side and flick the deck out a little with your feet to the left.
dont literally try it, well you can but just the motion lol.
it's meant to go over your head, but with umbrella whips etc. its too hard and you get the motion of it but it doesnt get over your head.
EDIT: try a 180 whip to bri, you'll notice the deck swing in the rotation.

it is supposed to go over your head, but sometimes you cant.
just look up videos of whip to umbrella flip, and compare them to a normal umbrella.
 
i love umbrella flips because when you learn the motion they are super easy and feel super nateral and smooth. all you realy need to do is is bri flip from your left to your right or right to left what ever feels the best. the deck will naturaly go over your head if you do it right
HINT:watch out for your middle pole on your scooter not soo much the deck

first get bris, then learn bris that are kind of tweaked to one side, then keep tweaking them more and more and youll learn the rotation, make sure to kind of duck your head when your learning
