Freestyle Tricktip 27: The Flamingo

The Flamingo is one of those tricks which looks fairly simple until you try it. I used to watch Stefan "Lillis" Åkesson glide around on one foot and think "that can't be that hard?" I rapidly found out I was wrong - and understood why so few people were doing it back then. Of course, now it's had somewhat of a resurgence, with folks like Mike Osterman and Josh Dunstone making this a regular part of their trick selection. Good foot placement, balance and confidence are key to making this one work. Well, that and repetition. Stick with it - there are few feelings more oddly satisfying than gliding around on one foot. The in-depth breakdown and photo sequence can be found on the website at https://freestyletricktips.com/oddities/flamingo for those who find stills and text easier to follow. Anyway.
