hoverflip

[Paul]

theres already a lot of talk about it in another disscussion but can someone plaese explain HOW to do a hoverflip. I;ve been wanting to do one for a while but i dont know exactly how to do one.

didn't thumper say it was like a misty flip in vert. it looks like a cool rotation. i'd try it if i could.

[Paul]

a misty flip in a vert would be a McTwist i think. becuase i misty flip your going upside down with a 540, or 720 if your daring, and a McTwist is exactly the same. A hover flip i dont think you go entifly upside down, from what i've seen it lookslike half a frontflip with a flatspin thrown into it.

[KYSkater]

i dunno...i couldn't really tell what kind of rotation it was, cause i'll just sit there and watch it then rewind it to watch it again and again. i just can't figure it out either.

a hover flip is just a front flip with a 180 in it, people do them on slightly different axises sometimes, they get called different things, i do what i call a mctwist but arlo called it a hoverflip, and like thumper said in another post, he calls his a misty. nice looking tricks though in my opinion.

their is a difference you can call it what ever you want to call it im not the kind of person to tell someone their wrong for calling stuff other things.

For a while i called a hurricane cess slide a geo slide until i learned what it was but i still call it a geo slide sometimes.

but im not trying to start a fight or anything or try tyo make anyone mad.

a misty is a backflip 180
a hover flip is a frontflip 180

now you can call it what ever you want but the technical definition and list name of the trick is a hover flip where it is a frontflip 180.

[hcb101]

however i will make one note that different variations of the trick spin wise and style wise make for different trick and names

[Rich Parker]

seriously, a misty is the term generally used for when its done on park/street, but it is deffinately front 180 and i think you would find it hard to find many people who disagree. But hey call it what u will, back flip 180 = flair btw

i thought mistys were front flip 540s

If you've seen Eito do a Mctwist that is a hover flip. My flip is simular to a hover flip. It's basically like a misty flip on vert. Is a completely sideways front flip 180. The front flip is a 360 dregree rotation plus the 180 so it's a 540 spin in all.

[theboringlife]

i do a kind of 180 to frontflip which i just call a flair as it has changed over time into something different.

well a front flip with a 180 spin is a 540 all together.

[sam]

ooooh, it all makes sense! in that case I can misty flip :mrgreen:

[Anonymous]

i agree with you 100%
but no a front flip with a 540 is not a misty if im wrong im sorry i cant remember it but a guy at the park the other day was pulling front 540*'s and 900*s he said that it was a rodeo flip. but i could be wrong.

[sam]

yeah, never mind i learnt the 540 version as well :mrgreen: I just cant 720 now

[hrisi]

and i thought misty is frontflip 180 from fakie (like bio),thats what we call misty, and backflip 180 is flair like rich said...
