Are you an intermediate to advanced skateboarder? Would you like to learn a new move that will impress your friends and even strangers? This trick should do it. The 360 flip, often known as a tre-flip, is a flip trick on a skateboard. The board rotates 360 while doing a flip.

Steps

  1. 1
    Know how to do a kickflip and BS shove-it. Although many skateboarders learn it without first getting 360-popshoves.
  2. 2
    Place your front foot in kick flip stance, at a 45 degree angle about two or more inches from the front bolts[1]

  3. 3
    Put the ball of your back foot in the curvature of the tail otherwise known as the concave point.
  4. 4
    Tilt your back foot up a little bit; this will help get the spin.
  5. 5
    Pop and spin at the same time, then just kick your front foot forward and out like a kick flip.
    • Pop and SCOOP the board. The key to this trick is the scoop. Just try to get underneath the board, but not too much.[2]
    • After you scoop the board up, at the same time, flick the board with your foot like you would when doing a kickflip.[3]
  6. 6
    Jump higher than the board by at least two inches.
  7. 7
    Watch carefully and wait for the right moment to land. Wait for the board to come around to the grip tape. People usually don't wait for the griptape they just know the time to catch it.
  8. 8
    Land with your knees bent.[4]

    A 360 flip is a kickflip with a 360 turn to it, so after the trick your board should be in the same exact position it started in.

    How do I get the full rotation?

    By your foot position. You must have the exact foot position and most of all the scoop. Its all about scooping your board right.
