I no you drop your shoulder and what not but wat do u do with your feet? do u pop off and keep them bent or what? and what would be easier/better to try them on a 3 or 4 ft quarter or like a 5 or 6 ft quarter?

do not post in this if all your gonna do is say search or lock or whatever, this site is to help and what not remember

well i notited alot of your feet/legs depend on frontside/backside
like murphy flairs frontside and he stays in like a ball and tanner flairs backside and doesnt really bend his legs much
but then again twan does them backside and curls up.

and from what i have seen some peolpe choose like vertish walls for their first flairs. (BK, KC.) and yeah.... thats just frm watching people. im too much of a bitch to ever try em

Dude I want to learn them too and the people I ask say tuck your shoulder, lean back and spin but not to fast and most of all GO FOR IT AND NOT PUSSY OUT!!!
I've heard it sucks to over spin so watch out for those but I'm learning them in a 6ft halfpipe

Try it on a 6ft. quarter. Decent speed as your going up the qp start leaning into it once you hit the coping pop off and look over your shoulder. Almost immediately you'll see where you are/what your doing. And keep yours knees semi bent.

Yeah, just look over your shoulder. Got advice from Tyler.

Jake, let's try them with Dominic. We are probably going to do it at some park with wood ramps.

Ew. i still don't drop my shoulder.
i start flipping then just do a 180

if you have backflips down you can flair, just start spinning more and more
and you'll get them

if you can, learn them first on a quarter to bank
and eh, i flip before hitting the coping usually, unless i'm really hyped.

find a qp thats not too steep and not too mellow.
ie. find a qp thats perfect for you, that you really like.

go at it with decent speed, once again a comfortable speed. honestly, you'll know if youre going too fast,
cus youll tell urself "wow im going too fast" lol.

pump at hte bottom of the qp and pop off the coping.
think backflip, but pull back at the same time. when
you feel like ur perfectly upside down, turn ur head, or
as some say 'drop ur shoulder'.

it will natrually turn u enough to land, or at least land
in a 90.

with your feet tho...some people pop off and straighten
their legs or keep them bent up in a ball. dont think about
that at all....just think flip, drop shoulder (turn head)
and keep ur feet on lol remember to pull out (im sure
youve heard that before ;) )

i learned on a mellow 5 ft qp...and it was the only one i could EVER
do it on. randommmmmm i tried on everything elsse...nothing aha

Go up with the speed of liek a foot high air
lean back earlier than you do for a backflip just nnot fast a slower motion then not on too much of an angle hit the coping then look over your shoulder and kind of pull up a little thenspot your landing

try it on a 5 or 6 foot quarter
