Today, I learned oldschool varial flips and m80 flips. I noticed that all an m80 flip is is a old varial flip caught at about 90 degrees and pivoted. Why are old varial flips and m80 flips considered 2 different tricks? It's like the two styles of hardflip.

because you are oding the m-80 wrong  the board should stay flat as in an ollie flip, so you do your 'classic' flip, land on the nose and pivot like a kickflip nose pivot if you will.... it should stay facing on direction the whole time until you land on the nose and pivot to fakie/switch where as the varial flip does a shuvit type thng and flips... |

I suppose I just do it a weird way  When I do a regular classic flip, I end in switch. I can't do them to my normal stance. I set up and flip it and it spins backside (from a goofy stance POV)....... Alright, time for a weird thought. If an m80 flip is a classic kickflip revert/pivot to switch, then was a doing a switch m80 flip? I flip it like a regular footer does, but I catch and pivot it back to my normal stance (goofy). |

I'm pretty sure everyone does old skool flips with a body varial, thats why people catch it in pivot - so you end up riding regular again.
On a side note, has anyone done a new skool m80? (kickflip bodyvarial pivot) I've been quite close before when I've tried.

I don't understand. I'm completely confused. And a newshcool m80 flip? The way you described it it sounds like a sex change revert....... I'll have to try it sometime. |

Newschool m80 flip? Sounds like that's worth learning. Finally, I've found something worth spending my time on.
God bless you snuffblurry

Alright, to take the easier way to finishing this I'll go out and get footage of what I'm doing.
