Tire Flip

Setup

1. 01Stand close to the tire with feet about shoulder width apart.
2. 02Squat down and work the fingers under the tire with an underhand grip.
3. 03Set the chest against the tire and drop the hips below the shoulders.
4. 04Brace hard with a flat back before driving.

Execution

1. 01Drive through the legs and hips to lift the tire at roughly a 45 degree body angle.
2. 02As the tire passes knee height, pop the hips and step in.
3. 03Flip the hands from under the tire to a pushing position.
4. 04Push the tire over aggressively and step through, then reset for the next flip.

Checkpoints

• -Back stays flat as the tire breaks from the ground.
• -The body drives at an angle into the tire, not straight up.
• -The hand switch happens fast at chest height.
• -Every flip starts from a full, braced setup, not a rushed grab.

Common mistakes

• -Curling the tire with the arms instead of driving with the hips.
• -Rounding the lower back at the pick.
• -Standing too far from the tire and losing leverage.
• -Slow hand switch that stalls the tire at chest height.
