bagre15 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I know it's not a trials move, but some trials riders have nailed it, so I'm really tempted to try them. I have a pretty good flipping base, since I'm a gymnast, so I would like to know what's the best and safer way to try them? Should I nail backflips first? Any tips are welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'm not 100% but I'm guessing Tf is not the place to ask for this sort of advice... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Basically if you learn them into a foam pit - you're a pussy, if you learn them onto a resi - you're a pussy. Go to your local concrete park, boot it at a nice quarter, pull back, twist, land, get bitches. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Learn flairs. Do them off trees. Get that cash money. EDIT: But for serious, get ready to get friendly with both your rear wheel and a spoke key if you're going to give them a go. When Ali learnt them on the resi at Corby he pretty much annihilated his back wheel from doing it wrong. This also reminds me that somewhere I've got some footage of Ali landing a flair at Corby, might have to put that in Clean 002 as the obligatory "token flip" you need for street videos these days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to your local concrete park, boot it at a nice quarter, pull back, twist, land, get bitches. I'm considering learning it in a dirt quarter Learn flairs. Do them off trees. Get that cash money.

I would be very pleased to watch the clips of Ali C learning it Edited May 9, 2012 by bagre15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 i would also like backflip practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I would say get your backflips pretty dialled first and wear a lot of padding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagre15 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I would say get your backflips pretty dialled first and wear a lot of padding I will try to find a foam pit to practice backflips, for me they look much scarrier than flairs. In my opinion is much easier to faceplant or fall in your head in backflips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt24. Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I'd love to see some one fall in there head..... probably more than watching a flair to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanonza Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I would only use a Flare if I was in trouble out at sea, oh you mean Flair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
