## 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.

## Where your feet go

- **Regular:** 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.
- **Goofy:** 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.

## Step by step

Each step is a part of the trick Skate AI scores when you film a try.

1. **Set up:** Same as a 360 flip. Back foot at the tip of the tail, toes hanging off the toe side, ready to scoop. Front foot in kickflip position, a little further back and more angled.
2. **Pop:** Pop higher than your normal tre flip to buy time for the second flip.
3. **Scoop and flick:** Scoop hard and flick harder off the heel-side corner, both at the same time.
4. **Wait:** Stay tall and wait for both flips and the full spin to come around before you catch.
5. **Catch:** Catch it with both feet once the board has finished, land over the bolts, and roll away.

## Troubleshooting

### 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.

## Drill

Get your 360 flip consistent first, then 10 attempts at the 360 double flip on grass, popping higher before flicking harder.

## 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.
