ive been wondering how to varial flip

i can kickflip on the spot but all my friends ask me if i can varial flip
help, bobby

Answer
If you can kickflip and backside shove-it decently, you're ready for the varial.. what you need to do is angle your front foot a bit more than you would for a kickflip, pop and do a shove-it with your back foot, but flick it so it flips. Kinda hard at first, but don't be afraid to put your feet on it. practice it.. good luck.

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.

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.
