[bilbobrownskate]

[delanostockhoff]

[856756abbz]

[bdog908]

Tcuniverse I have the same problem

[jackratty1]

this is such a good tutorial even though i cant kickflip this helped me a lot

[TcUniverse]

When i kickflip i can never get the flick foot to land on the board. My back one does though. Help?

[Lady88Vampire]

nice...

[pryorattack12]

Yo, can you tell me a way to get a kickflip higher because i can do the whole kickflip, but there not high enough and some times (most of the time) when i do the kickflip the board bounces on the ground

[OoGaSpiKe]

alright so all of these videos dont help me. i cant get the board to flip. the board either goes forward or turns sideways, it never flips. i dont care about landing for now. plase respond

[Langfordhockey16]

Good vid i like how u explained the probs but my main prob is that i dont understand how to flick my leg and how to move them out of the way in the air

Please respond

[Harry00Long]

Thanks man best how to kickflip video

I'v seen that explained almost every problom

I have im gonna go try it again this morning

I kept my self over the board 3 times and

Almost landed it my backfoot is the prob

[venetask8ter]

ok so time and time again I've watched "How to kickflip" videos and all tell me the same thing. Maybe you can help me out though. So when I flick my foot my front foot always lands on the board and my back foot lands on the ground. I am fully committed about landing the trick but I can't seem to get my body over the board and I would really like to know how to fix this. sometimes I even flick the board to far in front of me. good video tho and It would really help me out if you responded. thanks

[TrickTipswithTyler1]

@venetask8ter trust me when i say practice in a carpet. it sounds gay, but if your one of those kids that needs to learn tricks stationary, staying still on concrete is hard cuz the board tends to roll in the opposite direction that you want. it stays still however on the carpet. so just experiment with your footing, weight distribution, the direction you lean, etc. until you get them down

[venetask8ter]

@TrickTipswithTyler1 well for me...it's a little easier to flick while moving...the problem I have is that my back foot doesn't come as high as my font foot causing me to not have my body over the board and I have no idea how to fix it.

[drrtleo]

clean

[SuperCristi21]

[TrickTipswithTyler1]

[drummerboy728]

About how long did it take you to learn this. I have been practicing for about a month and still only land it with one foot, I stay over the board but my front foot doesn't get pulled in fast enough.

[skatemesh]

[Skatinmyosiris]

Everytime i try to kickflip the board either doesn't flip all the way or it just pops and i end up doing a ollie north or sometimes i just do it wrong

[TehK0Bros]

i land with my backfoot clean but frontfood lands like a inch away from the board on the floor but this is common to new skaters ive been skating for a week

[sk8mansteven13]

nice tip but its weird i could land my heelflips but i still cant land my kickflips... wat should i do????

[TrickTipswithTyler1]

practice.

[O1L3Rfan]

same. i would say just practice all the tinme for hours till u get it down

[2bad4god443]

tyvm for this nice! 5* rated ;)

but i have 1 problem, i always land with the backfoot and the frontfood is on the ground? Whats the problem?

[DurhamSkateboarding1]

try leaning more over your board, i think your leaning too far back.

when you lean back you basically shooting your board out a little bit, so your front foot wouldnt be able to catch it with the back foot, so if you lean farther over the board, and jump simultaneously with both feet you should be able to land on it.

[2bad4god443]

oke tyvm ill try it tommow ;)

[DurhamSkateboarding1]

alright dude, good luck.

[2bad4god443]

yo ill tryed ur tip and it was quite good. But now the board doesn´t flick enough. ill tryed to jump forward, to jump back to jump extrem high with both foot. The problem is when i try to jump i only jump with the backfoot the frontfoot stays on the ground. i cant jump simultaneously with both feet. Can u give me a tip how i can do it? This really sucks. i just cant kickflip. i can ollie 50-70 centimeters high, can do shove its, bs 180s, fs 180s .... but i just cant kickflip

[DurhamSkateboarding1]

if you wanna flip it more, try either slanting your front foot at more of an angle, or move your front foot farther back or down on the board, or both. you'll get more of a flipping motion on it.

[2bad4god443]

oke thanks i tryed it. Ill get the flipping motion and im with both feet over the board but now i land like 1 inch away from the board with my front foot? Backfoot and front foot land at the same time but the front foot at the ground?

[DurhamSkateboarding1]

uh, just commit to it more. aim your front foot towards your board in the air when your landing.

[TrickTipswithTyler1]

practice on grass or carpet. practice landing on it with your back foot, but practice keeping your front foot in the air. then eventually try bringing your front foot on the board with your back foot.

[O1L3Rfan]

im there with u too. but i can heelflip :D

[TheAnarchist7]

dude, great vid, 5/5 and subscribed, should i practice standing still or moving?

[TrickTipswithTyler1]

try moving

[alexsteel01]

@TheAnarchist7 i did it still and i know i can do it almost every tiime moving

[TheAnarchist7]

@alexsteel01 k thanks.

[Barringtonastro]

@TheAnarchist7 definitly moving you get more pop

[TheAnarchist7]

@Barringtonastro Lol, thanks, but I just knocked 2 1/2 teeth out trying to ollie over this board-high piece of cement plsu a ledge with grass so about a foot high and 3 foot long, this ledge my board got caught and I face planted into asphault. And my parents spent so much money on braces and all that so my dad will no longer let me skate...and I wanna die.

[brucelee9100]

first standing stil

[Beltdude318]

Great vdeo man i faved it 5/5 The problem i have is when i kickflip the board rotates the right way but the board lies wa from me could you give me a tip please

[okiskatemontage]

This was excellent and very informative. I'm going to refer all of my beginner friends to this tip.

[TrickTipswithTyler1]

thanks bro

[4llvar]

this helped me alot...especially that you said to flick with the ankle and not the leg, ive heard the opposit but this works best to me:D

[TrickTipswithTyler1]

people who flick with their legs are dumb. its all in the ankle.

[motherlover2012]

pretty good kickflips

[1080portal]

nice bkfoot catch man.

[mcadamskater]

um mi think this is gonna help me out alot, i can only land with one foot but ill try jumping up straight

[TrickTipswithTyler1]

just practice on the carpet getting used to landing on the board. try to land it just with your back foot. then try to land with your back foot, but keep your front foot in the air, so you land on the board with y our back foot before your front foot hits the ground. then eventually try to bring your front foot onto the board. thats how i first learned them.
