Key points: Do not deadlift the tire Keep arms straight Hips back Drive through the tire Do not deadlift the tire If you are TOO CLOSE TO THE TIRE when flipping (i.e. deadlifting the tire) when you STAND UP you are in a bad spot and have to wrestle with the tire with your biceps. Also, a more athletic position starts with your hips back (in about a 45deg angle) and driving forward.
