Just to be clear, in this guide we're not covering how to do flip tricks because you're probably pretty good at it. We cover the art of front flips and backflips to spice up your line of tricks so you can earn top spot in competitions! Controller input is sometimes easier said than done, but in theory, here's how you perform flips:
- Pull the left or right trigger (don't hold both as you'll only do a double take).
- Tilt the left thumbstick forward or backward depending on the flip you want to perform.
- If you have trouble getting the skater to tip over, you can try doubling the stick. It sometimes records a little better.
