Not going to lie
First time ive ever been to a launch where a flip was possible yesterday... was seriously thinking about just going for a flip... i was SOOO scared... and i wanted to just try it...and i was just thinking about doing it... and it just started raining... During/after the rain i was just so un-pumped up about doing it... just thought about it too much and it got to me. There is no foam around anywhere, if i ever try it i have to just huck hard and hope. Does anyone have any advice for me on how to just go for flips... because i mean i know i can do it... and im going back there this saturday.... and i just wanna throw one. Just talking about it now has made my heart beat fast and my hands sweaty. Anyone have anything that could help me get this fear out of the way so i can just try it.

Thanks.... Alot. !heart

Get some mattresses for the landing and flip hard and tuck, and DON'T bail out, it'll end up much worse than sticking with it. I can't do flips, but from what I've seen that's the way to go. And don't hit your head on the lip either, this Gopeder named Dane Underwood did that and got a major concussion and stuff, and he was wearing a helmet.

I got myself banned.
Theres a 80% chance your not going to try it. If you do try it, your probably gonna get hurt. Than you'll be hurt at the comp. Take a trip to TIC and try it in their grimey gross foam.

levon tryed without foam and landed on his head lol

hm, yea just go fast, pull STRAIGHT back or else youll go crooked and fuck up, tuck a lot and just look for the box again, even if you make 3/4, landing on the top of a box isnt gunna hurt, ive done it plenty of times. dont jump up off the lip or anything like that, just about half way up start leaning straight back. speed will keep you from hitting your head on the lip, just make sure you dont pull back like at the bottom or anything, like half way to 2/3 up the ramp lean back.

and i know people said it, but DO NOT BAIL, at least not off the lip. if your like mid flip and see the ground again and know you arnet gunna make the flip, then its fine to bail. but dont let go of the scooter off the lip or anything like that, and dont look forward at all after takeoff, levon did that and pretty much stopped rotating. hope some of this helps <33

Real simple once down Matt..Dead set the main thing is Comitiment!

If you look foward after you have already pulled pretty much get ready to land on ur head/face!

After you pull only thing you realy need to worrie about is to spot ur landing..I pretty much pull of the coaping as soon as my front wheel hits..

use ur back to get most of the rotation..Make sure u have a clear ass landing..No little GHETTO CUNTS riding underneath you

Main words..

1) Pull smoothly
2)Comit Completly
3) Rotate smoothly
4)I'd say back wheel 1st..
5)Boom!

Most of all tho Matt.

BACKIES ARE GAYYYYYYYYYYY....

U will soon join that crew^

Id also say that... Dont do it now, either do it after the comp or get pumped up by everyone and try it on the comp, you might duel Alex, haha, either whoever lands or goes to the hospital first.

Dibble. Listen to me. Just Huck and Commit. Once you huck your WHOLE BODY backwards, STAY THAT WAY. just dont move. youll most like bail out, but once you spin the flip part. your A OK.

but it would be smart not to get hurt before the comp.
