Freestyle Tricktip 62: Latte Flip

Here's a good and obscure one for this week. The Latte flip came out of that weird time in the early 2000s where a new generation of freestylers were finding each other on the internet and sharing postage-stamp sized videos of the stationary tricks they were inventing in their garages over 56k dialup connections. It was a glorious era for bizarre and disgusting flip tricks, but this one - basically a heelflip out of heelside rail, invented by Jeff Ryker - has always been a favourite of mine. I'm not sure why it never caught on.

Also, fun bonus fact: Jeff Ryker also figured out how to do an ollie kickflip from toeside rail. That one's called a mocha flip. The guy really loved his coffee, obviously.

The in-depth breakdown and photo sequence can be found on the website at https://freestyletricktips.com/rail/l... for those who find stills and text easier to follow.
