Welcome back to my blog about skate tricks. This week I will be talking about the big flip. The big flip is a combination of a big spin and a kickflip. If you want to be more specific it is a pop shuv it, backside 180 and a kickflip all in one trick. This trick will take a lot of time to learn. It is a very advanced trick and I am surprised I even landed one. Last Weekend I skateboarded with Logan, Lucas, and Kalin and Logan filmed me doing a big flip. I was very proud of myself for pushing myself to do this trick.
For the big flip you have to have big spins and kick flips down. It helps to have Tre flips or 360 flips down too but in my case I cant do 360 flips and I landed this trick. Right now I am actually trying to learn tre flips. The big Flip is probably harder than the 360 flip though. Another thing that helps with the big flip is varial flips and backside flips because you will need to put both of those in one to land this trick. I think that the big flip is a lot easier to do while moving, just like the big spin. I would also make sure that you have your kickflips down as well because you need to do those in the big flip.
Last weekend when we went skating we skateboarded La colina jr high. This is a very fun skate spot except I am really bad at impact. Impact is when you skateboard off of something high like stairs or a ledge. I am really bad at this. I want to get better though and do well because impact skating makes really good clips. Big flips off of stuff is really hard. I wasn’t suprised when I couldn’t do it off of a high ledge. I really want to big spin a ledge. If I ever go back to La colina I plan to big spin that ledge. Thank you for reading my blog about Big flips.
