Underflip?

[JetManiac]

At world finals the announcer called a trick an "underflip." Is this like a 'flair' in BMX?

Does anyone know how to do this trick?

 

[madscientist]

backie w/ a half twist.

same as flair

 

[stanton]

its actually only a 1/4 turn flip.

that version of the "underflip" looks like an off axis flip
ive done it in surf, just not on purpose lol

for me that was the prelude to a flatwater backy. its easier because you can hit it faster than a flip.

How to do it ... ?

hit the wave or wake at an angle like your going to do a barrell roll.
Accept ahead of the wake, drop throttle grab trim and throttle off a flip.
(DO NOT Turn the F#*%$ bars
in the surf or off a boat wake just do a backy at an angle instead of head on ..... sound good?

I like how you make it sound easy.
Ha

Good description though.

Is it possible to do a Flair (Back flip 180) in the surf straight into a re entry? If you found the right wave? If guys can do a barrel roll to a re entry why not a flip 180?

I think Parrdaddy was doing his flips like in the video at the Red Bull Fishbowl in Palm Bay.

 

[IKSTEJ]

Funny you say that .... I was discussing the possibility of it just the other day.
I think its totally possible .....
