Learning The Trick

General Overview

A Backflip in a hafpipe with a 180 twist to bring you back.


Preparation

You should have experience doing Backflips before you try this trick. You don’t need to go huge for this trick, one or two feet about the lip is plenty.


Doing It

When approaching the wall, stay upright and relax. The most important thing is your take-off so if you do take off correctly, the rest of the flip should come automatically.

Set your spin as your feet pass the top of the wall. If you start too early you will probably land on the deck. Start your rotation exactly like you would when doing a backflip. Throw your shoulders and head backward and push your hips forward.

As you take off, pull your right shoulder back slightly. This will set your rotation. With shoulders starting to rotate, your head will be back next to your tail. If you want to add some style grab your tail.


Finishing

Halfway through the rotation look for your landing then rotate the last 90 degrees. Then stomp the landing and get ready for the next wall.
