To avoid this, make sure to bend at your knees and hips, keep your back straight, and use your legs to lift, similar to a deadlift. Your hands should grip the tire underhand and your chest should be pressed against the tire.
- **Explosive Power**: Tire flipping is not just about strength, but also about power. Use your legs to drive the tire up and push it over with your arms. This should be a quick, explosive movement. Avoid the mistake of trying to lift the tire slowly and methodically.
