it helps to drop your arm. if you spin right, then drop your right arm and follow it around.

Flat 3 (whack flip) is essentially a backflip tweaked over one of your shoulders, rather than throwing straight back to do a backflip look slightly left or right (depending on which way you spin) and throw backflip. It also helps to grab japan because it pretty much automatically throws you into flat 3.

if you spin left, sweep with your right arm and gram right hand safety. also stay over yourself, don't try to lay them out. i like to think of them as a 90 degree spin, lincoln, then a 90 degree spin back. hope this helps

could you explain more on the 90 to lincoln to 90? i can do lincolns amazingly i just don't see how adding 180 degrees of spin in there would make it a flat.

The easiest way I found to dial my flatspins is to concentrate on throwing my knees over one shoulder. sounds overly simplified but thats it.

This applies if you throw them to the left. Reverse if you throw to the right.

First, make sure you have backflips on lock.

Then, instead of looking straight backwards, try looking over your left shoulder while grabbing your left foot with your right hand. This will help your body follow your head in the spin, and it should come around within a couple tries. The grab is key, I kept getting lost/panicking in midair, but the grab made the rotation so much easier.

Yeah i tried this once and i got it. it was sloppy but all it needed was improvement. But the thing is every time i tried this again it turned out weird but maybe i just need to focus more.

Just a backflip and reach for your opposite foot like you are going to grab Japan, throws you straight into it.
