hey guys i need some help with butterflips see i get into the right stance and everything yet the one thing that is going wrong is when i do the flip it shoots off infront of me. it does the flip no problem but it always shoots infront of me. can anyone give me any pointers to guide me?

your probably pushing down with your foot donw to hard try and do it nice and soft to get the flip and grab and putt your foot on the truck

Here dude this should help you... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c56gEXfj_MU

This is a good explanation too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQq9PhwxHRI Just practice the amount of pressure you apply with your foot and even the position where you place your foot. You'll have to have to experiment and find what combination works for you.

hmmm well then i am a bit stunned. i landed what i thought was a butterflip today and got some footy. if this isn't a butterflip then what is it called.

to point out i do double flip because i am used too used to do double rail flip thati find it hard to do single flips in rail.

^That would be a cooper flip.

sorry but I dont wanna start a new "help" thread but I also have a question. On TS railflips (or whatever its called when the griptape is behind you) is it normal that you can only use the tail to flip the board? cause when I tried using the nose it didnt work it all.

^If the grip is behind you then it would be HS. As for the railflip, what type of board are you using because different shaped noses and tails will affect railflips.

I'm guessing your using a street deck. On my street deck I can't do HS rails at all with the nose. The noses on street decks typically come up higher than their tail and for rail flips, the lower the better.

I dont know if its good enough to see the shape of the nose though

Thats really square... how did you get it like that? its pretty good man

It started out as an small ATM blank but as it grew up I guess I just did stuff to mess up the tail and nose so bad its kind of blunt

ruin my thread by putting ur stuff on there not even about me anymore!
