[BabyTreads110]

i can't get my front leg to stay loose enough to give it that nice little flick. tips?

[m4c27]

I finally landed muh first kickflip today partially cuz I watched dis video thru all muh classes but didn't land it, after muh friend showed me it n landed

[Duffelbag598]

Ugh its so frustrating!

[CrunkJoga10]

I can make the board flip but I just cant stay over the board till it completes the rotation. Any tips please??

[thejacobhughes]

@CrunkJoga10 What i did was practice in carpet for about a month then i practiced popping on concrete but landing in grass for about a month untill i finally tried it on concrete for a few weeks and i just landed my first concrete MOVING kickflip about a week ago it took 100 tries but i got it on film. Tips: just practice about 30 tries on each trick a day and by May 2012 im posotive that you will land a kickflip just practice as much as possible it will come naturally and progression is fast.

[thejacobhughes]

@CrunkJoga10 Yeah thats cool. Then eventually start trying them over boards, rails, boxes, PICNIC TABLES (Torey Pudwill) lol.

[krizzkrozzapplesauze]

I know how to kiccflip but i jus love watchin videos on em bkuz they look so clean and they are so fuccin basic lol

[TheSonorama21]

Australia looks fun :D

[messykaka]

i cant get my front foot on the board ive been trying for so long its rlly clean but i can only land with my backfoot

[MrLetsreplay]

I have a chicken foot which makes me not land them good i can catch it with my back foot sometimes but never been able to catch it with both feet on the board help?

[Eksnab]

@MrLetsreplay That's the worst, just swap out feet like if you can land with your back but not your front try landing your front not your back then both will get used to it

[TheLucassk8r]

lol i can sometimes double kickflip but i cant nollie

[TheOneAndOnlyBone]

omg you kickflip so nice. ive been trying to kickflip for a year now. i cant catch them, i land sloppy basically all the time, or i catch it when the board is upside down. fml i wanna kickflip like you

[krushfc99]

[TheOneAndOnlyBone]

@krushfc99 oh i will for sure, skating is amazing. just aggravating sometimes

[skaterboykickflips]

[kickflipb4chickflick]

@Hunterrrr11

na mate hes aussie

[pinoysijong]

how the fuhhhh do you flick .__.? my front foot just slides front, i mean it spins just not as a flick will do...

[picocsws]

can anyone help me and tell me why when i kickflip my backfoot lands in the middle of my board and my front foot lands right in front of the nose, i keep my shoulders centered with the board but i always end up landing in front of it idk how to fix it

[BoozeSkatingandWomen]

Try to flick later, wait for a little bit before you start to slide the front foot

[ISERGODT1]

when i try the kickflip, i dont pop/ jump with the board, so my board does not go in to the air, it just spins. why? plzz help

[iskanderaxan]

my front lands to on ground but i land back foot

[IDuman3]

my front always lands on the ground but I can always get my back foot to land on the board. any tips?

[TheApardee]

The best advice I'll ever get on skating is that you just have to do it. Seriously, skate every chance you can, practice for as long as you can, your muscles will fucking remember what works. Honestly, there is no magic remedy. Skate for the love, and that feeling when you finally get a trick.

[volcom9570]

Do a trick tip on how to nollie Kick and switch Kick Please!!!! those are the two tricks i alway have problems with

[Soraman12345]

i know how to kickflip, but getting consistent with its a bitch... My mainly mistake is that I focuse more on the pop than with the flick, causing the board to underflip and catching it on the trucks. Any tips?

[jaymaddox11]

thanks man i got my kickflips down

[surfanicboy]

Cool advice, I kno how to kickflip now

[planBsk8x]

I cant commit!!

[TheDubEntertainment]

Kickflips are easy - learned it after 2 weeks c:

[PatrickThomas11]

@TheDubEntertainment How the hell did you learn it after 2 weeks?

I'm regular and I've been trying for 6 months :(

I can spin the board sometimes and also sometimes land them one footed and that's only if I hold on to something in front of me!

Any tips I would really apreciate!

[NightmareLegend12]

[mihay988]

@TheConnor1999 haha

[EmoKid11134]

well ive been trying for two weeks every day and still have one foot landing on the board..... help

[tristanswim]

@EmoKid11134 that was happening to me too man. i would suggest making sur whatever foot isnt landing(for me, it was my back foot) so its good to focus on making sure that foot gets in the air high enough and is level with the other one

[JustShredKK]

@EmoKid11134 me too

[Zidanezable]

@EmoKid11134 i have that same problem but the reason for the problem is because, we are scared to land it.. nothing else wrong

[antmick3]

ye my half pipe bigger than yours

[Loxter123]

@EmoKid11134 COMMIT YOU CAN DO IT. JUST JUMP BRO!

[57stolenvoices1]

@EmoKid11134 not trying to put a damper on things but this trick usally takes an avarage of 3 to 6 months..it took me 3

[I3awe]

@EmoKid11134 u will learn it, it took me two months to get them properly, ive been skating 6 months now and check my pov video of kickflip

[stratofearless]

@EmoKid11134 exact same with me!

[slangwithjacob]

@EmoKid11134 least you have one foot..........

[killerkat1231]

@EmoKid11134 you're not commiting

[mrwonkaman1]

@EmoKid11134 me too

[marcpack1]

@EmoKid11134 lift your back foot

[ItsInMyBloodline]

@EmoKid11134 OMG same -_- i can get shuv-its without much effort and my ollies usually arnt that bad but a kikflip i always flp the board but land with 1 foot or i land with both feet but the board lands upside down UGH

[TheChurchBell]

@EmoKid11134 it's probably just commitment to the trick. even though you think your trying to do it. just try holding on to something, or doing it on grass first to get comfortable with landing on it.

[AcTivESkaTeR14]

@TheChurchBell

Pretty much, I think the problem is people are NOT afraid of slipping out. They are more afraid to landing primo, because if you land primo you just out of the nowhere just fall right to your ass with your heart skipping a beat. D;

[Lakaiiiiii]

@EmoKid11134 have you shoulders parallel with the board and try jumping higher

[zim3x]

@EmoKid11134

dont be affraid to fall, just keep your feet even in the air and finally u will get the trick :)

[Joegreenfrog]

@EmoKid11134 same thing happened to me. i have them now but i couldnt land them to save my life for the longest time. i actually ollied an 8 stair before i could kickflip haha. try them into the grass. its easier to commit and then when you land on them bring them to the street.

[FingerSkateBoards98]

@EmoKid11134 Just say fuck it i don't care if i fall, and even if you see the board isn't doing the right thing just commit, because ounce you comit you'll realize its like triping you'll only fall to the ground, and no matter how hurt you get the pain will last only a minute, if not a second. You only have 1 life so live like theres no tommarow and have as much fin as you can whil you live this life.

[Viru5Sniping]

@EmoKid11134 your most likely kicking down

[YTKimi]

@EmoKid11134 Yeah just jump up keep yourself over the board don't panzy out and plant your back foot on the floor as soon as it pops up (atleast that was the problem i had when i was learning the kickflip)

[cpelng]

@EmoKid11134 you may be trying as hard as you can to flip the board but you REALLY have to try even harder i think to focus on landing with both feet. Everyone does it a little differently but just really try and focus on landing. Don't be scared of falling, everyone does! that's skating for you. just go for it and get em down! cheers

[sk8ergirlx100]

@EmoKid11134 anyone who has this problem watch My kickflip tricktip

[youknowiaintghetto]

@EmoKid11134 just lean over the board a little

[PotatoDennis]

hey unsw lol

[MultiRobbyd]

landed first kickflip to day

thak you so much @MrSiaotong

[Corser8ify]

It seems so smooth on this video

[MultiRobbyd]

i land with my feet parralel to the board and shoot out every time

someone plz help

[MrSiaotong]

@MultiRobbyd its cuz when you set up for your kickflip your facing parralel to your board... face your board perpendicularly so when you land it your facing perpendicular to the board and not parralel.. i had thesame problem to..=]]

[MultiRobbyd]

what is the intro song with the boardword sticker thing

[mihay988]

2 Guys don`t have a skateboard...

[TheConnor1999]

@mihay988 and had a kid together.......

[XxSiRwAfFlEsxX]

i can flip the board and i jump high but the board like suctions to me and hits my feet like an ollie so i can never fully rotate it

[SMV600]

I can do the kickflip really well holding onto a fence. when i try to do it standing still on concrete, i can flip the board well underneath me. my problem is that i am getting my front foot on the board but my back foot isnt jumping into the air!!!! wtf! i cant get my back foot in the air and flip the board at the same time someone pleas HELP!!!!!

[re5crazy]

your scared you may not even feel scared but you are, believe me all you have to do is make yourself do it you seem to know whats wrong just fix the problem, the whole trick is one slick motion so it has to happen all like one jump in the air if your back foot isnt landing then it is probably because you are either to anxious or just not bringing your back foot up for the trick at all

[SMV600]

@re5crazy thanks man, i am managing to lift my back foot up now, gonna go see if i get one done, cheers!

[SMV600]

@re5crazy last night i m anaged to land one but i landed it with the nose up because i landed with my backfoot on the tail and my front foot in the middle of the board. But today i was trying again and i cant even flip it all the way anymore, im gettinjg worse and worse which is just pissing me off

[re5crazy]

@SMV600 i used to feel like that when i first started too, you just gotta keep trying pay attention hard to how you are doing it compared to how other people do it. when i finally got kickflips it was because of one small thing i corrected and from that moment on i got them almost every time..... so im sure there is just one small thing your over looking in the trick, just dont quit on them even if it feels like you have been trying them forever it took me forever but it will pay off believe me

[SMV600]

@re5crazy i finally found the problem, i was kicking the board but it is literally a little flick to get the board spinning. Need to train some more

[po0psh0oter]

@pricyy123 it's doing that cause you flicking to much towards the nose, practice flicking in the pocket

[99skateislife]

i want that sticker

[pricyy123]

everytime i go to a kickflip my board goes forward wen i flick it I NEED HELP!

[filthyforlife]

[po0psh0oter]

@christhesk8ter I can land like 5 out of 10 now but I broke my board cause I got mad a few days ago so now I can't :'(

[christhesk8ter]

i need a new deck some one ship me a deck

[po0psh0oter]

@improllyit I can get it spinning but it goes in front of me instead of under me, is it just cause I'm too tense and not relaxing?

[christhesk8ter]

i do the fence thing some times xD

[po0psh0oter]

When I try to kickflip my board always goes forward and no flip or it flips half way then falls to the ground like 2 feet in front of me

Help plz

[TheSkateScootGuy]

[skatingrules10]

@boardworld dude i still cant get a kickflip my foot gets under my board my other lands on it

[glitterworksstudio]

goddamn, my board always just flies away from me when i try

[skatingrules10]

@glitterworksstudio lean forward

[char680]

i hate it when pros say "once you can kickflip, take it to the next level and do double flips." like thats gonna happen after you first land it...

[mikemoknowslakai]

One thing that I recognized that loses your kickflips when you already got it before. Body weight transfer. Be comfortable with the weight when you were landing kickflips perfectly.

[skateboardingfishes]

wow thats a clean kickflip!!!

[XcodXx200]

Finally a tut that explains what you doing every other tut just say first u get on the board then u pop then slide foot to the right or left (goofy or regular) but this tut explains what ur doing

[rs0and0cod0legend1]

i cant flick right

[skatingrules10]

i keep landing 1 footed wat should i do

[damianhcase]

@skatingrules10 Take the board into your street and do them consecutively ... and the foot thing. jump straight over the board and dont worry to hard about the flip. worry about the landing and you should have some luck

[skatingrules10]

@damianhcase thanks

[Loxter123]

@skatingrules10 everyone does that. you just have to focus keep your shoulders straight and commit

[skatingrules10]

@Loxter123 thx

[Cool100Force]

i always end up doing a triple kickflip but the board lands like 2 feet away...
