Question
Hey man I have been tryin this trick called a pressure flip, which is similar to a kickflip which i have mastered. The problem is i can only get the board to do the pop shuv it and not the flipping part. I have done what others have told me but it wont work. Why?

Answer
There's not much I can tell you because I've never really tried pressure flips, to be honest (some expert, I know). But from experience with other tricks, the best advice I can give you is to try putting your feet in different positions to allow for easier flippage. Practice it till you can't stand up and you'll figure it out. Sorry I can't be of more help, good luck.

Expertise

I have been skateboarding for around 7 years; I have extensive knowledge on street skating, including all sorts of flip tricks, tips on popping higher ollies, grinds, slides, rails, ledges, and park skating including transitions.

Experience

Before you email me asking "how do i kickflip??" you should practice it, what can I do, magically make you learn it? All I can do is give helpful tips, so try to ask serious questions, please. Also, I can and will not sponsor you, so don't bother asking.
