Learn to Kickflip in Two Hours

[michael14kim]

Dude its hard to fakie kickflip



[frodude321]

5 out of 6 times is like a B lol

[OneThatSkates]

You have to commit, for a kickflip. I had the exact same problems that everyone posted. Pop, flick, JUMP. JUMP JUMP JUMP. No commitment = No landing.

[runewarrior8]

here are my problems with my kickflips;

1. my board only does a half rotation.

2. I always end up with my skateboard between my legs and my legs spread out.

3. when i do get decent rotation, no. 2 above always happens.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

[DeckInTheHoods]

landed my first 2 kickflip today! thanks buddy!

[behlboy90]

can anyone give me a link to the song at 2:40?

[mfboarder11]

I really need some help, Ive done pretty much ALL of the stuff you said in the video but its still not coming. I flick it right, I jump, but its extremely inconsistent and i cant land it at all. help me please!

[Mirozenx]

@mfboarder11 it's easier when you're moving, go along at atleast 3-5mph, go to ollie and literally as thomas said in this video flick your foot don't even more you're leg, jump high and wait for the board to spin. When you see your griptape, slam you're feet down and ride away. When you flick it should feel as if you're almost flicking backwards rather than diagonally. Try and kick right in the little pocket where the nose meets the board. Hope thsi helps and goodluck

[mfboarder11]

@Mirozenx Thanks ill give that a shot. so LITERALLY just flick with your foot, no leg? (well mostly no leg) and also I need to jump higher and just wait for the grip tape then slam it? these are my main questions but also, I seem to land with one or the other foot on (or just completely miss the board altogether.) help with these additional q's if you can thanks

[LANDRAIDER1000]

@mfboarder11 try to concentrate on keeping your shoulders square.

[Aleesunespia]

i cant do the first ''easy'' way xdd

[lovelifeanyway]

it worked for me. i saw instant improvement. Haven't landed the beginner one quite yet but i tried for fifteen minuets and and i know i will have it by tomorrow. you're a good teacher!

[hack504]

BAD BOY!!!!! BAD!!!!!!!!!!!

[LanOsb133]

How i learned to do my kcikflips is like a pressure flip. Just put alot of pressure and have alot of my foot hanging off the board and just do an olie but with alot of pressure on my front foot. I dont kickflip like that buut thats how i learned it :o but then again im a size 14 mens.... >.>

[QboyXD]

GOOOOFYYY YAAAY XD

[priyen1000]

it didn't work for me

[girlboardnation]

When i kickflip I end up sex changing, can u help me?

[skateboardscience]

Great video:: thanx man for good coverage of the kickflip and what not to do. When I practice kick flips (still on ollies), I will definitely make sure the board doesn't go vertical. "bad, bad for you"

[Smexican97]

So ialways land wit my back foot on but my front foot off and im super close to landing help?

[SmithDarian]

@Smexican97 your just not committing enough,and you have to jump higher so you can have time to bring your foot pack,also flick out and up don't flick down

[mfboarder11]

@Smexican97 SAME WITH ME! ITS really really annoying huh?

[XManiiAkX]

Do you need long hair to pro a better skater?

[erick270398]

nice video buddy, thanks!

[199bmx]

I can land kickflips but my body does a 180 while my board faces the same way

[MrFilipino100]

@199bmx dnt kick so much then, Don't force your body to turn.

Try just keeping your shoulders over the bolts.

Or you can just make it into a disco flip.

[RRguitaristTC]

[FerraMurder]

5:55 -It's baaaad- lol,thanks for the video,it helped a lot!

[skateboardscience]

I love the part where you say "bad, bad for you". Makes me really remember what to avoid when practicing. I'll be really padded up, shin pads and all lol.

[christhesk8ter]

i like falling because everytime i fall ifeel closer to my goal anyone who thinks im right add usb comment my channel thanks

[NuckyNils]

i like the part where the board sqeeks....

[1am3p1c]

I just did it :)

[tkriptonite]

@skaterchu100 I just watched your vid and the problem is..........you need to jump higher! Because as soon as you lift your back foot up off the tail and the front foot flicks your back foot is alredy on the ground. So basiccally what your doing is popping the board then spinning and reaching out with your front foot to stop it. So what you need to do is jump high off the board!! Hope this helps more than my last post!!:)

[SheikhJunt]

No top comment! This is my chance!

[funnycactus22]

i couldnt kickflip and i kept on trying over and over and over again but i saw this video and i am soo close execpt most of the time i do heel flips by accident can somebody plz help me

[tkriptonite]

@skaterchu100 I had the same problem at first what you have to do is bring your flicking foot in a little bit faster and try to catch the board with your back foot first that way you have more time to get your front foot on the board and you will also have more of an idea were the board is. Hope this helps!

[tkriptonite]

Crazysoloreversevids thanks for your help!! But I think that I am actually jumping TO high cuz I can't seem to get enough time to slam my feet back down. By the time I bring my flicking foot in the board is already on the ground. So I just thought maybe I might not have enough pop??

[SkaterChu100]

Hey whenever i do a kickflip my front foot always lands on the floor and I keep watching videos and I can never get it. Please could you help, I also got a video of my kickflips to show you what I do wrong

[tkriptonite]

hi, I'm just wondering, I can getb the board to flip and land on it but for some reason the board hits the ground before my feet are on it? Does anyone know why??

[crazysoloreversevids]

@tkriptonite basically what your gonna need to do is put your back foot right on the tip of the tail but make sure its square, and focus less on your front foot flicking and more on jumping high in the air stay over the board and smack your front foot on and your back foot just behind the tail, then once you can do that everytime start to try and jump AS HIGH AS YOU CAN!! seriously this really helps ok hope i helped message me back if i did greetz :)

[somethingaboutskatin]

Your an idiot

[saleenmustangzz]

that is really cool good job [;

[sammylime]

holy shit dude ive been trying for like 8 hours today and couldnt get it and like 10 minutes after i watched this video i almost got it :P

[ElCholoProductions]

i hate the sketchy sound of your skateboard

[Styluuh]

@ElCholoProductions it means the boards new

[TheGeeksoldierz]

hey, i followed this, and i can get one foot on doing it with my foot lower down, but when it is higher up, it flips half way and nose goes into ground and tail get dangerously close to hitting me in the balls.. any help?

[10gannon]

My feet always end up on the sides of the board? WTF please help

[Sami1234579]

04:53 this is gay...it's homosexual...ahahahahaahahahah­a....xDDD

[peoplecallmepro1]

[MInecraftFan245353]

[StormSk8er98]

[sangbinkim123]

[sangbinkim123]

[XxCODownagexX]

[ProfessionalIdiotsXD]

@tripleTturbo lean forward more

[tripleTturbo]

How do you not kick the board in front of you when you do it? That's my biggest problem.

[barcalays]

dude you need to buy a new skateboard its going to break soon my friends board had the same sound and when he started to grind it cracked

[skateeea]

Hey just had a pretty fun session with a friend in Hamburg, Germany!

If you think it's fun to watch pls comment, so that i know weather it's worth it to film skating ;)

[skateboardscience]

You are a true follow up to Tony Hawk. Lots of potential in teaching, which is similar to Tony's style, like the fun presentation and lots of cool humor. I hope you keep on with this. I will let you know if I can land a kickflip in two hours.

[markosfff]

Stop at 5:58, enjoy (:

[Kasamuu]

You just earned yourself a sub. plus one question: when your doing the kickflip r u supposed ot fully be in midair while the board spins ( like backfoot in the air aswell?)

[bruins3331]

Does it have to be a good board cuz mines kind of bad? Someone please answer

[Wirudeivisu]

@bruins3331 Not really, but it kinda helps.

[MattMineCrafting]

@bruins3331 If its flat dont use it :D has to have to little curls near the tail and the nose both sides buy a speed demon :D Good ones

[tart434]

[FELIX0123]

who tends to fall back when they ollie or do any tricks or have the fear of banging ur head on the floor o.O

[OutlawRepresent]

@FELIX0123 i think the answer to your question is pussies

[AUSSIEskater223]

@FELIX0123 i use to have that on pop shuvits and kickflips but just do them next to grass and slowly move away for shuv its and for kickflips just commit if ur scared of cracking ur head open just put a helmet on and if u slip back what i do is just tuck ur arms in and just fall back. and try to touch ur neck with ur chin kinda and dont let ur head hit the ground. thats what i did and now i can kickflip easy.

[TheGeeksoldierz]

@FELIX0123 only when i go to ollie up things

[GEOskater12]

[yopolopogus]

[Riggerzisindahouse]

@XxatosennimxX I'm not afraid of falling, its that my back foot refuses to come up ://

[XxatosennimxX]

@Riggerzisindahouse yeah same thing happens to me some times. before you kickflip ollie a couple times to get the felling of jumping up, maybe that will help.

[FlaminSoldier13]

[jo3yepicness]

Give every one a tip hold on to a pole or fence when doing your first kickflips because you can hold yourself in the air get your flick right and landing right then move stationary then moving i starting stationary then moving and took two years and about a month ago i tried holding on the a basketball goal and started landing them just keep at it

[supercooldudeman1999]

Wow I am so close to landing a kickflip now, I have no idea how but I am, if you're having trouble as in flicking be4 popping, you can move your back foot a bit forwards :)
