Trick Tip | Chris "Compton" Nichols Meet CCS Am Project rider Chris "Compton" Nichols who's here to teach you the mechanics and finesse behind the always popular 360 flip. This isn't the first time we've had a skater break down this move, but it's always worth another look as it's one of the more common tricks you'll see out there and also one of the trickest when it comes to technique and execution. As any solid tre flipper will tell you, this trick is all about the scoop of the back foot—the front foot is more for guidance and the catch. Compton explains more in this edition of Trick Tip.
