V-flip help. I've been trying em inside out, getting close but can't get behind it enough. Any tips? Lean back more and kick out instead of down? Help? Crying or Very sad

Thanks lo, just looking for some quick tips from someone who's been down this road

seven11dmd, Are you having a good summer, riding season is only a week or so away then everything "fall's into place. Come down and ride.

Do you practice on the trampoline? Thats the best way to learn.

Raven, I had that problem for a while, and I was looking at it the wrong way. I think you are trying to kick it too early, pop the shuv and wait 1/8 of a second later to flick it... try it and tell me what happens

Nick and Vance, thankyou, I practiced on the tramp a bunch. Owned them there and tried a few on the water, ate shiat, then i remembered what you said Nick and I was like whoa, almost had one, a big one and it felt sooooo good. A few tries later and Booooya, I've been riding hi all day from that biatch. Thanks for the help guys. I can't wait to get back out there.

wakemitch, kyle41, thanks alot guys I wish I had them on tape. Kyle41 the V-flip came alot easier than the kickflip, read Nick's previous post and go after that joker. Good luck, I have been filming some, I have tried to upload some stuff; but I always get "the extension mov is not allowed." Dave says it must be something in my codecs. I don't know what is a codec or what the problem is. Suggestions?

Thanks for the support guys! I can't wait to get back out there. Afro

Peace

The codec is what type of compression you use on a video to reduce the overall size. Try a very generic one something like divx or sorenson and you should be fine.
