Wall Flip

[Diablo]

Do you have any simple notes for wall flip? Is it easier to do with two or one kicks from the wall? (sorry for my english :eh: ) And wich is the best wall for that?

And also what trick would be easy as a first tricks?

[Olzme]

It's mostly about guts and doing it properly the first couple of times. I gave up on it. I'm a loser... =(

I would recommend you to try wallflip with one step, and from a surface which has a good grip, and abit slant surface, like so. ===> /

That rock that is in my sig is not totally vertical. :F

Hm, I did my first ones on a vertical wall...

They arent as scary as you think, once you do about 5, you wont be scared at all anymore..

If your interested, here is my video of when i first tried them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOOYifJx9y8

And here's what they look like now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTiKXyb6pwk


Just, all you gotta remember is, DONT BAIL, if you bail you get hurt, like you will see in my video, i messed up my shoulder pretty hardcore.

Anyway, a good way to do it is do a count to 3, and on 3 you have to go, no matter what, despite whether you feel ready or not.. By the way, can you do a back tuck? I recommend learning those first.

Can you backflip? If so, here are some tips on wallflips:

Find a reeeally grippy wall, and push yourself upwards (plant your foot low) rather than just pushing yourself backwards. Use a spotter.

If you have a video of an attempt, that'd be useful.

Easiest = One step
Tip = Do not place your foot TOO HIGH on the wall. If you do, your step will push you horizontaly at best.

Our goal is to get height with the wall. place it so you can push upward, not backward.

I think that was my biggest problem, throwing my leg out and jumping at the wall and throwing myself back, i would get no height and would just fall to the ground.. Basically, you should try to get pretty close to the wall, so you can step up it... Think of it as taking a step up the wall as if you were going to take another step..

Thanks to all! I Think i can now head to the wall.
