Some of the common mistakes you may experience while learning how to switch varial flip,
is that sometimes you'll find that that board, if it flips properly, still doesn't go enough
for the shove it and you end up stopping at about 90 degrees. Sometimes this happens:
you end up flipping the board, and it gets to about right here. Now, you want to be right
here to continue rolling straight. So what you're going to want to do, is to put more
shove it in there. One way you can do this, is maybe hang your toe over a little more,
or you do the pop so that you're able to push it over and get a better varial flip. The
other thing is make sure that the front foot coordinates with it, so that it ends up flipping
and slightly pushing the board over varial, just a little bit more. So combining those
two motions will get you a better shove it. The other thing that people have trouble with,
is just with any flip trick, finding the timing that you need for the board to end up flipping,
and making it all the way around and being able to catch it. So remember, the more practice
the better, and setting up in different foot positions and testing to see what's good for
you. Another common problem is just being able to do this trick, land, and roll switch.
And be able to roll switch long enough, so you can continue rolling switch in that position
comfortably. Sometimes people tend to do a switch variable, flip, land, roll a little
and then have their shoulders so far over that they end up turning the wheels back straight,
and turning it in to rolling straight. So this just may mean you need to get a little
bit more comfortable rolling switch. When you end up doing a switch varial flip, you
land and continue going switch. And that'll help you learn switch varial flips.
