ok i have the full 360 rotation but it doesnt do the full kickflip rotation...and when it does the full rotation for both parts it shoots out away from me (i can varial kickflip so im trying tre's now)

obviously you are popping instead of scooping.


Just go outside and practice.

what does it mean to scoop..pop and slide?

-_____________________-

You obviously don't even understand the basics of the 3 flip..

Just go watch Stefan Janoski's trick tip for it..
and then get outside and go practice.

oh ok

Rofl. As funny as stefan janoski's tricktip is, that's not going to teach you how to really tre. Lol.

Yeah^ But then again, Sk8r07 here is hardly ready to be learning it yet. lol

You have to scoop/pop hard, apply minimal flick, and jump over the board, because when you're learning, it'll fly out from under you.

Practice is the key. You won't get anywhere without practice so instead of comming here saying you can't do practice. I know I may sound harsh but you want to get sponsored but aren't willing to try? Come on.

scoop = pop and scrap the board against the ground in an upward motion

Ok guys i just now took a video of me attempting a tre and here it is..please tell me what im doing wrong....this is my fav. trick on flip tricks (although i cant land them yet)


i practiced them for like 2 hours today

Fakie? ..

yup that is the way i do all my tricks now..nothing but fakie..everything is alot easier fakie

your not scooping enough (or at all?) and if you dont know how to fakie bigflip, learn them first, they help, fakie 360 shoves are important to know too

I learned fakie big flips after?

Dude learning fakie tres is hard wait until you try to learn reg ones...boy you're in for a surprise.

i can do the fakie 360 shuvits..what is a bigflip
Merging doublepost
yea i know but i can spin it better fakie and i can do EVERYTHING

well, i wouldn't say that. i couldn't fakie 3 shuv when i learned fakie bigflips OR fakie tre's. BUT if you're going to do it fakie, fakie varial may be of use so that you know how to ride fakie, scoop, flick, and land. now just add scoop, but i won't leave you there.

first off, if you're going to youtube to surf the web for trick tips, you probably shouldn't. really, you can become your own teacher, and learn MUCH MUCH more. if you're going to watch a tre trick tip, i promise you, all you're gonna get is "roll at a good speed, front foot 45 degrees, back foot toes hanging over. pop, scoop, flick, stay over, land. you won't learn anything else. just where to put your feet, and its better to learn that yourself, so you're comfortable. you can figure out how to do it (scoop/flick).

sooo first off, i'll teach ya how to do it w/ troubleshooting and whatnot, so that you can actually learn, or at least i hope so.

Foot Position---

front foot, you need to figure out where you need to put it in order to actually get the flick, it's not the same for all people. some put it like a kickflip, but i never get the full flip when i do it like that; so i just put it in the middle (i get made fun of, but i can do it haha, and better than those that make fun of me). Back foot should be on the very back of the tail, with your toes hanging off as i mentioned, and you should curl them to help get the scoop.

here's where you can learn something, rather than just learning the foot position :)

Executing It---

Make sure your feet are in the correct position, and you're ready!
pop the board but scoop it like its mint chocolate chip, i think something helpful is "try to kick yourself in the azz almost with your scoop." pay attention there. go back and read it again. do it.

now that you read it again, you did, didn't you? good. you're now ready to flick. wait till about 45-90 degrees, and give your board a bit of flick ( not as much as a kickflip, idk why but you dont have to flick it as much).

jump up and forward a bit, like a shuv-it. this is crucial, it's impossible to land it if you don't jump forward, so don't bother just trying to flip it to "get used to the feel." it's a waste of time. just jump.

when you're landing, don't be discouraged, you won't get a perfect landing the first time. just keep going, keep trying dude.

i hope i helped you, let me know if i did help, my goal was that exactly ^^

(p.s. i didn't mean to be blunt at all in it, so i hope i didn't seem mean lol)

good luck!!

(holy crack this took like 15 minutes haha)

EDIT: NO, IT TOOK 18+ BECAUSE I STARTED RIGHT after ZOMBIE's post hahahaaaaaaaaaa gosh i hope i helped xD

its a fakie tre with a body varial, youtube it. its way eaiser then it sounds

thnx dude it helped alot now i can keep it under me and i almost landed it!!!! +rep for you


(p.s. i almost did a 540 flip in the process)

In that vid you arent even scooping you are just popping.That causes the board to like fly out of control.

Theres NOTHING WRONG with poppin' your 360flips! I can pop a 360flip easier then any scoop (plus they get more air).

Here's my tip:
If you stand next to your board, and put your back foot on the tail, in the farther position away from you, and press down really hard on the tail, the board will naturally perform the 360flip. You will see that with this rotation, no ''scoop'' is needed, and scooping will only hurt you when you want to take it down steps/curbs or up objects like steps/curbs.
So, once you ''see'' what i'm talking about, you go ahead and get on the board with that back foot in mind (where you saw it flipped the board around 360flip). You set your front foot in the middle, moreso like an ollie position, but tilted forward like a kickflip (just not on the edge). When your ready to go, you squat down, appling pressure to both feet, and then release the front foot while pressing down on the tail. It will 360flip and then come right back down on it.
This way will prevent the board from ''traveling'' away from you. Good luck :)
