I've seen a lot of kickflip tutorial videos, and I gotta say this might be the most useful one I've seen! It's filled with really practical tips that kinda break down the gradual learning process of attempting a kickflip! Great job, Jason! Your hot feet are not in vain

[@ksgjag]

This is so useful you earned this sub

[@NathanMcBroom]

"So just look like a fool, like I do!" - Jason Yup, that's the dream. Thanks for the tips.

[@serenari]

The vivid markings: Solid advice, thank you. I immediately noticed a difference in my focus and outcome.

[@GC-ji3ye]

Props on posting such a useful video. I’ve got my kickflips locked but it’s great to see a video where the teacher says “watch other videos” because that’s the key. Everyone’s kickflip is different and you need to see as many as possible to find out what fits/works with you. Good job, Jason. I’m one of the “front foot in the middle of the board” guys. I flick off exactly where your square is tho.

[@Coleman_H]

Great tutorial, Jason. The kickflip at 3:13 was so sick the way you caught it with your back foot. Super rad 🤙

[@Panch0_Villa]

I learned how to heelflip a while ago but got hurt trying it again lol once I recover I'll use this advice and learn the kickflip :D

[@Dave3rdEyeArt]

It takes a few years to really get them down, Kickflip is super important to learn

[@deanopascoe3112]

I landed a couple kickflips a while back and then sprained my ankle and have to re learn them

[@RegularJason]

Great tips Jason, I aspire to have kickflips like yours some day! Thanks!

[@pastasauce7929]

Thanks for the video Jason! Your tutorial is one of the best ones I’ve watched. I know how to kick flip but I still like learning as much about my tricks from other people as I can.

[@MRCHAN-hv2lm]

100% best kickflip tutorial!!!!!! (insanely good)

[@fanjacky4355]

Very useful !!!!

[@tyman7156]

thanks jason

[@SkatingwithAaron]

Great tutorial! Love your videos! I recently decided to get my kickflips down and made a video on why I suck at them to point out my problem areas that others might be struggling with as well. Like you said, I started making tutorials that I wish I had as a kid. I did the same thing with watching foot placement on VHS and then going out and trying it.

[@michaelcarroll5801]

I appreciate this. Been struggling with my health but skating is gonna be a good motivator for me because we all know how fun it is even all by your lovely self. I could spend all day skating man! I just get so tired so I'm trying to get healthier, cutting out sugar and stuff. For the love man!

[@herrreinsch]

oh man, that trick tip was golden.👌 It was motivational (some people forget that part, we all need a little bit of "you can do it". :P), fun, very logical and well explained with good cinematography..... and It was on a tennis curt too, no,... you don't understand, I absolutely love when someone skates on a tennis curt.:P man, I think I now have a new source that I can link to people when they want to land kickflips. :) ps: let's hope the youtube algorithm thinks the same.:P

[@JasonParkSucks]

Haha thank you so much! Glad you share an appreciation for the tennis court ground 😊

Good thing for youtube is you can change the playback speed and watch any videos in slow motion on youtube now it's awesome

[@chipotlesteakbowl3674]

I had “tried” kick flips before, but seriously tried for about 5 days during summer break with like 16 hours in total. Landed 1 in all of that and haven’t landed anymore, brutal.

[@monadamus42]

This is such a great video! Thanks for the Playstation markings, bro! I really appreciate this video! Cute shirt.

[@noahmichael6996]

Thanks for the tips man :) I'm refining my kickflip more before i do a varial flip BUT IM GETTING CLOSER

[@andersmcinnis9041]

This was super helpful, got like an inch away from it today! Please make more trick tips!!!!! :)

[@11bangbang402]

I’ve seriously watched countless videos on kickflips. I know how to do them but Im a year and some change of picking skating back up after 14 years of no skating. My kickflips are sloppy and feel heavy. Im 6’2, 235 pounds so my springy kickflips i did as a kid are hard to do. I’ve tried so many different tips from pros and other videos but this video really stuck with me. I still struggle with balance and weight distribution but I’m still progressing. Thanks for the video and detailed tips!

[@Sketchy_Adventure]

This is a good video because most people lead you to believe that it's different from an Ollie, but actually it's the same motion and all except for the foot coming off the nose instead of stopping at the nose!

[@themindfulsk8r]

Awesome dude this is helpful. Could you do a heel flip one? I’m still working how to push my front foot out or push it down or wtf

[@JonBishopSkate]

Amazing video. I never thought it was worth me even trying, but this tutorial makes me want to give it a whirl, after all what’s the worst that can happen?? lol !!!

[@slordigaard]

The upper body is underrated in most tutorials. Check the ollie - kickflip comparison at 3:03, the chest never moves.

[@surpriseshoveit3514]

Maybe your comment is the last little piece i needed! Never thought about the chest... I landed a lot of Kickflips but this could be the key to land them constantly 🙏

[@slordigaard]

@@surpriseshoveit3514 keep us posted! Most tutorials focus on feet and legs, but the movement of arms and torso are key too! I wish someone filmed kickflips from above the head. Birds perspective.

[@lizzard13666]

This is great, I'm just trying to learn kickflips atm!

[@Ryley280]

Good upload. I remember landing stationary kickflips as a teenager back in the day buy could never figure it out moving. Now I'm getting back into skating to teach my kid and I don't know how I ever did it lol its so hard

[@jasmineberryy]

thank you :]

[@jakezepeda1267]

Thank you for this and the visuals on the board. Im tempted to cut arcs into my tape for my foot to follow. Managed to "land" 2 shady ones today. My problem was not flicking backwards kinda, I was doing more of a bad Ollie North. I still have trouble, sometimes the board sticks to my front foot and flies in front or drags with it in a front shuv fashion, but I feel like I made some progress.

[@kanu_2021]

thanks mate

[@prufty1603]

smith grind tutorial?

[@hokupidot3346]

I've been at it for a year and still can't get both feet on the board. All these tips are golden but if I may add what helped me get the board to flip with more control/speed is 1) when I flick I draw a "J" with my foot instead of trying to hit it dead on 2) I try to move my front foot back before kicking forward; kind of like a wind up. It feels weird but when I film myself doing it, it really helps my foot come up before kicking out which helps keep my board under me 3) take breaks. I get frustrated easy and go non stop 20-30 times with like a couple seconds in between each try and get no where. Take my tips or don't but this is just what I've learned on my journey to landing the ever elusive kickflip.

[@thatanos3372]

Hey bro, Can you send me your video

[@shyboi7639]

Send a video

[@v2o3]

Hey Jason, thanks for the tips. Do you have any specific advice on how to get the front foot on? I can flip reasonably well and get my back foot on, but I think I'm kicking down with my front foot and it always ends up on the ground.

[@hectorvasquez4109]

Pls do treflip having trouble on those

I was the 700th view Jason ur most dope for including ur girl in ur videos and ur comity is always great I have a brother in Hawaii And I can’t see him and I’ve always wanted to see the ocean surf and skate over there

[@jannemeineke3815]

i like ur shirt bro :)

[@qspec2002]

Any advice on shoulder positioning? It seems like they need to be a bit more open and less square with the board to make the kick more comfortable (otherwise you are kicking behind you at an awkward angle, right?).

[@johnnyboy2653]

You need to align your spine to the angle of your front foot and not only for the kickflip, pretty much every trick, it's bs when they say to keep them square.

[@coryshane5892]

What did you use to add those symbols? I want to do something like these with different symbols

Yessss I've been needing a tutorial. Good stuff!

[@chasesmith8153]

I struggle to keep my board under me when kickfliping. I always seem to kick it way in front of me. What can I do that will help me with this?

[@PHeMoX]

Yeah that can have a few causes, one being not flicking off the nose around the 'square' as Jason showed enough. If that doesn't help try to adjust your timing flicking later or earlier and if that doesn't work try to lean forward to the nose of the board a little bit more. Not too much though, because then your front foot will end up in a downwards flick. Anyway, I can keep the board under me fine, I'm struggling to have the board rotate under me. And definitely is like 80% a commitment thing. It's funny, but to me the varial kick flip is less scary to do.

[@themindfulsk8r]

Yeah maybe you’re flicking too late??

[@merlinparsons4819]

Hey can you please do a pop shovit guild to this video help me so much to made me land my first kick flip thank you so much

I have a question, is doing a kickflip one fluid motion? Or do you like slide your foot up then kick it out, are you supposed to "kick" harder once you've slid your foot up?

[@fobbywillie]

Do pop shoveit too

[@OCrush]

Jason,how old are you?I ask cuz I'm 41 and havent skated in about 30 years but recently have seriously thought about learning again.Whats your thoughts on this?

[@tylerv8233]

I'm not Jason, but I am 41. I stopped for about 15 years and started again about 3 1/2 years ago. It's been super fun. If you decide to do it, just go at your own pace and enjoy riding and pushing around. It comes back and while I don't jump down big stuff now, there's still so much that I can do and having skateparks around is really nice. Oh, and warm up and stretch helps a ton.

[@OCrush]

@@tylerv8233 thank you for taking the time to offer some advice,I really appreciate it and will use it.Take care and be safe

Maybe you mentioned this and I just missed it, what did you use to create the colored shapes on your grip tape?
