[@ufotofu9]

I think that the most common mistake amongst people learning kickflips is that they lack the commitment to stay over the board after popping and flicking. That is to say, at some point there mind convinces their body not to wait for the rotation to finish and land and so they simply don't fully intend to land the trick in the first place.

5 tips I have for better kickflip. 1)Look at the center of the board 2)shoulder parallel to board 3) lift back foot high enough to let the board flip. 4)Watch the flip 5)Stomp with most of your toe part of your foot when you see grip. That's what works for me and it looks like this guy does the same thing. Also for higher flips delay flick after you pop. 😉👍

[@aiden_macleod]

I wouldn't say the best, because a lot of things were left out, like the psychology, location, and general technique. It's great for tips on not what to do, but he just skimmed over those things. For instance, he said never flick your front foot down, but never said the correct way, just showed himself doing kickflips "the wrong way" over again.

This vid was done so well, its really helped me out. Thank you bro! Subbed.

[@spitfire4599]

This video helps a lot. Even though I've been on and off with skateboarding I still want to at least get the kickflip down. One of my problems was listed in this video and it's the "Flicking Down". I try my best to flick upwards and out but the ankle stays in the habit of flicking down. I commit when I do this trick, but that's just my biggest flaw in learning how to kickflip. If anyone's scared or nervous on landing the kickflip itself, I'd recommend doing the old school kickflip first so you'd get the feel on how to land after the board flipped. I've been skating for a couple years, and most of my friends have gotten passed my level and upgraded their bag of tricks. Hope to get back in the game soon. Keep it up with the videos mate! Subbed!

[@philglasz]

Great tips and great footage (dat wallie up nollie flip down was dope)

[@datguy9408]

I never noticed how huge that pyramid is at that skatepark, I definitely need to go there again.

[@wanton_chips3638]

I grew up playing piano a little, I was always taught to learn sheet music one hand at a time. Most trick tip tutorials are basically stopping there, just one hand at at time. Therefore, people go and practice their tricks not realizing they are trying to "play a song" when only one of their hands is playing the notes properly. The last tip he mentions I believe is the most overlooked tip in all trick tip videos, even with ollies. They always chalk it up to just this mystical "timing" that you need to get a feel for. Tricks are like songs, you can make the board flip properly without popping and the song will never be complete. Play both hands together after practicing both hands independently and it comes together, sloppy at first but then consistently after practice. Sometimes the hardest part about learning certain songs is when the two hands are difficult to play simultaneously even when one hand seems very simple on its own.
