It’s a good one to have in your repertoire to out every once in a while and impress someone. They can seem intimidating to people who haven’t done them before, but pressure flips are pretty easy to master if you know what you’re doing.
Why is pressure flip called a pressure flip?
A pressure flip can refer to any flip trick flipped solely by the popping foot. The front foot (or backfoot in Nollie or Fakie) does not flick or do anything to cause the board to flip. Most commonly “pressure flip” refers to the pressure flip variation that resembles an inward heelflip.
Who created pressure flips?
Like most things skateboarding, the pressure flip was probably invented by Rodney Mullen, but it rose to mainstream prominence in the heady days of the early ’90s. Pressure flips were the ultimate subversion of the new; a flip trick performed without the snap of an ollie.
Is pressure flip harder than kickflip?

Is a pressure flip the same as a hard flip?
A pressure flip is a basic flip trick which involves applying pressure to the back end of the board with the back foot. The front foot in a pressure flip does not do anything. On the other hand, the hard flip makes use of both feet. The back foot does the pop while the front foot makes the kick position.
