Tire Flipping Pointers


Always pick a tire that you feel is the right size for you.  If you don’t know what size of tire to use.  Always go small, it’s better to be safe then sorry.  Then you want to get a good passion to start your flips.  The first thing is to be 14 to 20 inch. behind the tire and squat down into a football stance keeping feet, ankles, knees, hips and shoulders aligned.  Hands firmly gripping under the tire with chest and shoulders agents the tire.  Always keep a slight bend in the arms.  You want to explode using your legs like you would with a clean, but at a 45°Never try to lift the tire, using a deadlift or curl.  This will only set you up for injury.  Some people will use there knee to help them after they have gotten the tire up high enough to get there knee under it.  If you don’t have good technique find a personal trainer to go over proper lifting techniques, so that you don’t injure yourself.
