[fishing79047]

i can never stay above the board

[Jordanskater1]

Everytime, I try one of each of my feet land on the sides of the board:(.

[RedOctane9]

someone please help me on kickflips!! i dont know why the board goes behind me when i flick, and when i mean goes behind me, i mean like directly behind my back, not like behind where my backfoot is but directly behind my back

[SkateDK99]

@RedOctane9 don't jump forward, Commit and jump high and you should be good

[spitfire4599]

i skate goofy too, but i don't land on both feet :p

i got the back foot landed but the other one, i can't bring it back onto the board.

help?

[xXEPICSCREAMXx]

@spitfire4599 i had same problem, all you need to do is try and aim for your heel to be covering half the board at the opposite end that you flicked and pop a lot harder, after a while you will land it

[SkateLessions]

can someone please help me i keep landing them on 1 foot and my other foot goes back

[guitarramaniacx]

@SkateLessions i can help you :D you land them with your front foot or back foot???

[SkateLessions]

@guitarramaniacx yea i do the the kickflip but land it on one foot and my other foot goes back

[MrFilipino100]

I love how i always see "Thumbs up 4 goofy" on every video that has a goofy rider o-o... it's weird haha. Anyway:P i thumbs up'd :]

GOOFY FTW:D

[guitarramaniacx]

TIP.. if you land only with your back foot try to put your weight into your front foot and flick it UP not down

[MrFilipino100]

@guitarramaniacx I seem to land with my front foot more:/..

And sometimes, well... most of the time... I try to flick, the board goes too far in front of me.. or sometimes i can just shoot it straight out:/

Anytips?

[guitarramaniacx]

@MrFilipino100 try to pop harder and dont forget that a kickflip starts like an ollie.. if that doesnt work...then maybe you are flicking with your entire leg...dont do that xD you only need a nice little flick with your ankle.

also watch slow motion kickflips... that helps a lot

.....sorry for bad english

[MrFilipino100]

@guitarramaniacx ok that helps a lot more. So, i do an ollie, then flick my ankle to the right? (i'm goofy)

And i think that was my problem, i always just extended my leg. that and... when i started, i didn't know how, so i started just by kicking down... lol, it started a bad habit:[

Sometimes, it feels like i do them wrong tho:/.. with just the flick that is. But thanks it helps a lot:]

[JDominate1]

every time i try i do a pop shuv it or ollie this shit dont work for me

[TheRjr33]

i just got those shoes yesterday at Skate Park of Tampa

[mysterysk8er6731]

everytime i kickflip the boards do the kickflip motion but my feet just go down so i can catch it can someone help me

[MrFilipino100]

@mysterysk8er6731 Try jumping higher. That might be your problem

[Burnieceproductions]

[SkateDK99]

Wow he got some steezy ass kickflips

[kcool42]

Thanks it helped me alot I'm a legend at them now jokes I'm ok so thanks for the help :)

[undergrd2001]

My Kickflips went from late kick flips to kick flipping over skateboards and up stuff.. really gooooood video.. only took me 20 min to get it all figured out.

[gibs9105343]

gt eany tips for landig my back foot insted of my front first ?????

[Mister420Skate]

The one foot landing problem that you people all complain about is probably because you don't get the board, or your body high enough off the ground or your just pussying out. Commit to the trick, and you'll land it.

[Enjoi304]

I hate kickflips

[Esk8XjF]

@Enjoi304

Hell yah I hate um to i can heelflip But cant land a kickflip for shit!!

[MrTanyoub]

[g0stface23]

[SkatingThe805]

@JedMonkey1 goofy people naturely buttery

[ChrisHaslamBCBeast]

any tips for keeping it straight? mine always go Bs thats a plus for bs flips and varials but my tres arent gonna be clean unless i learn these PERFECT

[guitar9maniac]

@ChrisHaslamBCBeast put your back foot farther back on the tail. like more heel hanging off. that works for me

[ChrisHaslamBCBeast]

@guitar9maniac thanks i will try but i will loose my balance like crazy man. but hey if i get em like that ill fix em later right?

[guitar9maniac]

@ChrisHaslamBCBeast yeah also keep your balance square over your board. make sure you're not leaning too much one way or the other, just crouch straight down and keep your back straight. then to make up for the unbalance of foot placement, put your front foot up farther on the board like less heel hanging off. it works for me, you could try and tweak it around whatever works for you.

[ChrisHaslamBCBeast]

@guitar9maniac thanks man and i landed my 1st decent tre flip yesterday and my kick flips are getting better i just cant get my back foot bolts i usually land tail slap or manual type thing

[guitar9maniac]

@ChrisHaslamBCBeast nice me two i just learned tre flips and bs flips. but basically with a kickflip, make sure you flick and don't ninja kick, that helps a lot for me, i land bolts every time when i do it like that

[ChrisHaslamBCBeast]

@guitar9maniac thanks man

[guitar9maniac]

@ChrisHaslamBCBeast yeah no problem, ill try and come out with some good trick tips on my channel. now that i have a normal camera

[One1Two2THRiCE]

everyone gets thumbs up :)

[bobspie4]

hate this trick. cant get it on lock. i can 360 flip buttery ass hell but cant kickflip good

[lycanchill]

try directing ur flick more down than toward the curve....it helps keep the board under u. but thts just to learn it, after that is when u have to train urself to flick at the curve or concave

[OaWaScHlKaKtUs]

I just can't put my feet over the board again after it flipped... any tips?

[skatedailyordie]

everybody needs to jump

[J0shFrazier]

fuck all that stationary learnin on the grass bullshit, fuck dat nigga move! lol

[matt1jordan2fun]

[maxplanb97]

[aguyngaw]

[AndyMcArren1356]

i give my board a strong straight flick and nice pop and IT DOESNT FLIP ALL THE WAY it just flips 12 degrees and than rolls back

[HelloItzHassan]

@AndyMcArren1356 well your not really flicking try flicking with your ankle and not your whole leg it will flip better

[Extrodus]

your videos sound is horrible, get a better microphone that doesnt record the wind as much.

[snipplezskateteam]

[girlMccrail]

@wwwskatewarehousecom i can do em but i need help with getting back foot back on

[Liadoc]

Can't catch with my front foot?

[AsianMinority67]

[themoneymanification]

[MultiVans12]

i tried to do it but the board doesnt flip all the way.how do i do all the way around????

[damonkey15]

@MultiVans12 Flick faster!

[RapidHate]

I have a problem with that, when I do my kickflip, my front foot hits the ground and I land with my back foot, and help?

[DrawnHere21]

@RapidHate i have the same problem ive been workin on kickflips for like i dont know 5 months now? ughhh

[sk84gabs]

@RapidHate just try to catch it with the board backwards try it stationary first once you keep landing it backwards all you need to do next is to flick it harder and jump higher

[IAWAskater]

@RapidHate Put your foot higher up on the board closer to the bolts and only flick it a little. Reply if that doesn't help.

[damonkey15]

@RapidHate the reason your front foot hits the ground is because you are flicking down when u should be flicking up and out.

[StayGoldRollReal]

I focus only on my front foot when it comes to kickflips and etc. My back foot just catches it naturaly.

For all those with kickflip trouble keep tryin and remember to jump straight up,not bac or foward

[AdioX321]

i land my feet too close together, any tips?

[tylerboy1333]

@AdioX321 yeh i had the same problem.. i always put my feet together when landing.. just try to keep ur front foot still out there

[SuperKarlos1000]

I land with 1 foot only :S

[gvegHD]

/watch?v=GAe3W-Iiy3g

[ReaganSmashObama]

A good tip right here, keep your shoulders parralell to the board like you hand is above the tail and your other hand above the front bolts and jump straight up.

[crazyfudgey]

@ReaganSmashObama thanks man thats a good tip appreciate it

[theniggerguy1]

[FisherandVaderINC]

[sk8josh619]

[bboydisaster1]

My front doesn't seem to want to go back on the board. It hits the ground before my board so my back foots in the air and my front foot is on the ground. I have no trouble with my back foot landing on it though. So can any one tell me what to do?

[iheartrealhiphop]

@bboydisaster1 im not trying to like talk down on you...but DONT BE A BITCH lol you just have to committ and make that trick ur bitch

[AdioX321]

[CPPS0111111]

@AdioX321 same, watch my vid and see if that what happens 2 u

[audiozama]

I need help with bringing my front foot back in to the board because I always land with my back foot and not the front.

[capranica]

@audiozama that always happens to me to, i wonder why

[CPPS0111111]

@audiozama Same!!

[youngfreezy328]

i can kickflip but i want to do it higher

[SHOCKdrumer]

for the slide r u suppose to slide on an angle or only flick when you reach the nose curve? 

[skatenoob17]

whenever i try to kickflip i land behind the board what am i doing wrong?????

[theartisofalltime]

man, they make it sooooo easy but its to freaken hard

[malikjones18]

@theartisofalltime ikr haha

[TonyTheTigerSkates]

what shoes are those??

[11JD07]

Everytime i do the board doesnt flip all the, it goes to far in front of me or out to the side, and i cant get my front foot on the board

[Mrbrightguy05]

@11JD07 i had the same problem , you have to flick out so you can bring the board up and then kick down so the board flips

[DrawnHere21]

@11JD07 i have the same problem dude well i think cause i can only land with my backfoot and my front foot lands way before it completely stops spinning

[h3ll0imapker]

@DrawnHere21 it sounds funny but try to pop slide kinda like an ollie then flick out and JUMP and bend ur knees while jumping then land and bend roll away(like literally jump ull get above the board to land it) 

[bladeshreaderx]

windy! ha good tip though :) !

[cassidy99]

DOnt have MOB kickflips they're sooooo poo

[Almosteasyese]

HEY i need sum help i used to be able to kickflip in 3 to 5 trys on my tony hawk board and my bootleg chopper baord, but i broke both now i have a baker deck and its a lil heavier it flicks but its heavy and my best now is 20 trys, any tips to get my kickflip back? its been 5 days and i still aint used to it.

[ShawnIndustries]

@Almosteasyese It may take time to get used to the board i used to have a tony hawk birdhouse, but i broke the tail off, so now I have a planb. First on your new baker board make sure u can ollie high enough so u no its not u instead of the board. Then the main thing is your foot placement will probably be a litt le different now.So try to move your front foot a little more to the middle of your board and flick out quickly but jump a lot higher than u usually did.

[Almosteasyese]

@ShawnIndustries iight man, thanks, i can ollie like nothing its just when i finaly flip it my flip is messed up and My trucks are also pretty heavy so im thinkin bout gettin sum thunders to lighten it up.

[antigravitydawgz]

i can rotATE it ut after that the board is almost vertcal and like 5 inches away from me can anyone tell me what to fix?

[YODEHone]

My kickflips are extremely low any tips?

[sk8tergoofy]

practice your ollies very well untill you move up to kickflips.. the higher is your ollie the higher your kickflip will be

[NuggetCaptain]

why is everyone goofy on youtube?

[capranica]

Kickflips can be extremely easy or very difficult depending on how you prepare yourself. Before doing kickflips, do a couple of ollies and a few pop-shuvits to warm yourself up.

[DJRaaban0606]

tyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyy

[schtief95]

[mosquitoskateboarder]

[PureStr8Vids]

same here

[thevisionneverdies]

Okay can anyone help me here?

I need it desperately

I have my heelflips down, no trouble, no "chickenfoot" things like that

and okay I understand the concept of kickflips but

I can never get my front foot on!

I land with my back foot over the bolts but my front fot just does not want to go on, even if I try and force myself

if anyone can help further I'd appreciate it

[munchkinmonkey100]

@thevisionneverdies practice practice practice. just don't chicken out and just concentrate on your getting your front foot on, forget your back foot cuz that will go on naturally. hope that helps

[PlanB027]

@thevisionneverdies haha im the opposite i have my kickflips down really good. but i cant get my heelflips because of the same reason my front foot just doesnt want to get on :/ i used to have them but its kinda weird that i get them for a while then somehow i sprain my foot while doing them then i cant get them..and thats happned to me like 5 times.. oh well.. heelflips just aren't for me.

[hiphopsucks96]

I think that if you don't concentrate on the pop, and just jump and focus on your front foot, you can do it. The pop would be an afterthought, and you could possibly jump off your back foot slightly to get the pop. But JUMP, and flick quickly. As you get better at flipping it underneath you, slow it down by sucking your front leg up and angling it more, and then flick quicly as it gets to the concave. Well, there you go. Hope it helps!

[masterded101]

you are such a looser

[12Shame12]

dude i really love ur shoes! and thnx for posting this i really needed help on my kickflips!

[jerkengerken]

visit my channle and vid i need help on my kickflips

[DGskaterK]

kick out

[strideguy11]

ppl always leav out one important thing, when u flick it u have to kick the pressure down. just flicking wont work, u hav to flick down

[ZenLN00]

not everyone flicks down..

[Skatemoreforfun]

Nope. Don't flick down, flick straight out.
