How to Do a 360 Flip on a Tech Deck
In order to perform complex Tech Deck tricks, it is imperative that you first master the 360 flip. The 360 flip is a controlled movement of the tech deck; more commonly referred to as the fingerboard, in such a way that the tech deck rotates at an angle of 360 degrees after it is flipped up in the air.
The tech deck then lands back on the ground in the same position as it was before being flipped in the air. Here is how you can execute the 360 flip with your fingerboard accurately.

Sight a point along the tech deck which is in the middle of the tech deck logo and the front wheels. Place your index finger at this point. As for the middle finger, you need to position it at the rear of the tech deck in such as a way that a small part of your finger is hanging off the tech deck.

The tech deck now needs to be lifted in the air and it needs to rotate at an angle of 360 degrees. To accomplish this, apply pressure on the tech deck with your middle finger. You can apply more pressure if you want the tech deck to rotate faster and go higher up in the air.

In order to make the tech deck flip in air, you will need to straighten you index finger when the tech deck reaches at angle of 90 degrees after you have applied pressure with you middle finger. Be gentle while straightening your index finger because if you are too quick executing this move, the tech deck will probably flip more than once.

You need to make sure that tech deck lands in a controlled manner and does not flip or rotate more than once while it is in the air. You can ensure this by taking your fingers back to the tech deck. It will take both of your fingers to control the movement of the tech deck which means the trick will fail if you try controlling the tech deck’s motion with one finger.

You will need to master the 360 flip on flat surfaces before you can perform it on surfaces such as rails and ramps. Bear in mind that you may have to practice for long hours before you can master this trick so do not get frustrated if you cannot get it right initially.
