Backside Nollie Flip
April 25, 2007
Welcome to the world of tech. It all starts here. The key to nollie flip fs noseslides and nollie flip backtails and just about any other ultra hard move. Perfect for the middle of a line to let people know that you mean business and something, which separates the men from the boys when thrown down stairs. Pre-prepare yourself with a long list of your favourite profanities for the learning session on this. It's a [expletive deleted].
1. For this trick it helps to get your front foot a little further towards the toe edge than its half cab brother. The ball of your foot wants to be sitting in the centre of the nose whilst you are crouching to build up that pop.
2. As you begin to stand you are going to need to give the nose a fair whack without a decent amount of pop you can write this trick off the ‘will learn’ list . It is generally much harder to flick around than regular tricks as you are flicking off of your weaker foot.
3. Your back foot wants to be way over to the heel edge around the bolts. Not much more than your toes should be on here. Even the seasoned Backside Nollie Flipper never pushes their toes further than the centre of the board.
4. As your front foot pops it is going to need to come up quickly to give the nose enough room to get round. Your back foot needs to come out with your toes dragging just above where the flat of your board rises to form the tail it’s the toes which create the flick. As the board turns over your back foot needs to be extending to scoop those last few degreess.
7. Both feet reconnect with the board at the same time. This is where the tip toes point out for the scoop mentioned a moment ago.
8. Compress and let the shoulders follow the motion of your body.
9. Turn your head so that you can see where you are heading.
10. Smile. It was fun. Right?
