Skateboarding Varial Flip

Let us have a look at a particular trick called the Varial Flip. A varial flip is when there is a lateral rotation of the skateboard or rider. There should be a varial rotation of 180 degrees.

The varial flip is basically a combination of the Kick Flip and the Pop Shove It.
It is important you have mastered these 2 tricks before you venture to do the varial flip.

So to start you need your toes off the side of the tail like a pop shove it, so that when you stomp on the tail the board rotates. You have your front foot like with a kick flip, so that you slide your front foot off the front of the board at the same time as the board pops up and rotates.

The board spins and rotates 180 degrees around as you are airborne, and then as the board lands on the floor you also land on the board with both feet nicely apart and balanced so that you catch the board just right and keep your balance.

So this is the varial flip, or varial kickflip, and is not too hard to figure out as you should have already got to grips with the kick flip and pop shove it.
This is basically shoving it as you flip, rotating the board with your back foot and flipping the board as well.
You do not want to flip the board too hard, but just enough for the board to rotate in the air and drop so you can land on top of it.

You can go on to heel flips and so forth after you have got to grips with the varial flip. I hope you have fun with this trick.
The trick, once learned, can be done at will, and looks a real neat and cool trick for you to perform. Like all tricks, your technique and control with this is everything, and you must have your technique rock solid before attempting it.

Skateboard Tips

Here are some skateboard tips for learning the pop shove it. This is a neat trick to learn early on in your skateboard life, as it does not require you to ollie and is a fairly straight forward trick, although you still gotta master it.

OK, here we go with our skateboard tips for the pop shove it. It is so named my friend because you are popping your skateboard, and then spinning the tail of your board right or left, whichever takes your fancy.

Now you need your back foot positioned on the tail of your board so that you can shove the back down with your foot, but still have enough control to spin it as you are pushing down to the ground.

The trick is to spin it at the right time as the board is popping down, so that the board stays under control and does not angle to one side or the other. You also push to the side with your front foot so you are getting a good clean spin. What you are aiming for is to spin the board 180 degrees so that it lands back under your feet.

Once it has rotated a full 180 degrees you need to catch it with your back foot, and with bended knees get your front foot back onto the board again. Voila!! You have mastered the pop shove it.

You will find that you need to go at a reasonably fast pace to pull this off, otherwise it will be impossible to keep your balance. When you get the hang of it you will get more juice from the trick by popping the board up as high as you can and spinning faster. Great fun!

These skateboard tips will take time to get the hang of and learn but will feel second nature after a bit of work on the rough edges.
