How to
360 Double Flip
The short answer
A 360 double flip is a 360 flip that flips twice while the board spins a full 360, also called the double tre flip. The setup matches a 360 flip, back foot at the tip of the tail with your toes hanging off the toe side, and your front foot in kickflip position, a little further back and more angled. Pop higher, scoop hard and flick harder off the heel-side corner, then stay tall and wait for both flips and the full spin before you catch.
Back foot at the tip of the tail, toes hanging off the toe side, ready to scoop. Front foot further back than for a 360 flip, at about 55°, heel hanging off the heel side. Pop higher, scoop hard and flick harder off the heel-side corner so the board flips twice while it comes around.

Troubleshooting
Why you're not
landing it.
You catch it after one flip
- Why
- You're catching on regular tre flip timing out of habit.
- Fix
- Wait an extra beat and watch for the second flip to finish before you commit to the catch.
It flips twice but doesn't spin all the way
- Why
- The flick is outweighing the scoop.
- Fix
- Scoop harder, since the scoop drives the 360.
It spins all the way but only flips once
- Why
- Not enough pop height or flick for the second flip.
- Fix
- Add height to the pop before adding more flick.
The board clips the ground
- Why
- Two flips and a full spin need more air time than a tre flip.
- Fix
- Pop higher and keep your feet up through the whole rotation.
DrillGet your 360 flip consistent first, then 10 attempts at the 360 double flip on grass, popping higher before flicking harder.

FAQ
360 Double Flip
FAQ
What should I learn before a 360 double flip?
A consistent 360 flip. This trick builds on the same setup with a higher pop and a harder flick.
How long does it take to learn?
It's one of the hardest flat-ground tricks, often months of work on top of a solid tre flip.
Why does my board only flip once?
You likely have enough scoop but not enough pop height or flick. Pop higher first, then flick harder.
Why is it called a double tre flip?
A tre flip is a 360 flip, and this one flips twice during the 360, so skaters call it a double tre flip.
