TIRE FLIP

Tires are also easy to acquire because after they are used, they usually end up in junkyards. Tire companies pay a lot of money to have used tires recycled, so they are more than willing to give them to you for free.

  1. Set up a 100-foot course.
  2. Start with the tire upright on its side, as it looks when it is on a vehicle.
  3. Begin by using a split stance with the dominant leg in front and forcefully push the tire down. Use the push to gain some extra ground.
  4. Squat down in a sumo deadlift stance, with the hands in between the legs. Reach the hands underneath the tire and try to position them between the treads.
  5. Inhale, lean the chest into the tire, and forcefully stand up, bringing the tire up with you as you exhale. You can either use a knee to keep the tire moving upward or shuffle both feet to the side and drop down as if going into a power clean position
  6. As the momentum keeps the tire moving upward, quickly change the hand position so that you are pushing against the tire to flip it over.
  7. Quickly push the tire over and down and begin again. Make sure that you flip the tire over the finish line and not up to the finish line, because in competition the tire has to cross the line.
