How to Kickflip | Skateboard Trick Tutorial | Slow Motion

[@matroxman11]

A couple little things that helped me start landing these more consistently was to keep pressure on my toes, really focus on popping well, and lean back toward the heel side of the board just a little bit after you pop. It really lets you see the board rotate and I found that it helps me not catch the grip too much and flick my board out in front of me. Keep a solid amount of weight on that front foot and don’t forget to pick up your back foot as soon as you pop. The trickiest part was probably committing to landing with both feet on the board. Good luck and don’t give up!

[@Skiddyskates]

Great advice! Thanks for taking the time to give some helpful info. I’m sure it will help some people out.

[@anglegrinder4630]

Popping good is what screws me up because its an unatural motion to kick down but jump up off something that doesnt help your spring at all its all on you

[@surfskate_mom]

Finally a kickflip tutorial that also shows some beginner/intermediate skaters 😊 and girls.

[@oldbonz]

This is such a better description than the other billion of Kflips tutorials I have watched. Thanks and I'm going to learn them this year now!

[@Skiddyskates]

I hope you do! Tried to keep this one short and sweet I’m glad it is helpful.

[@keitham75]

So glad I came across your channel!!! My son and I just started trying kickflips (without much success). Can’t wait to try again applying the concepts from this video

[@JerrySeinfeld-kn4hy]

I kept getting stuck on the one practice step you see on Braille and other channels about standing still and just sliding your foot up and flicking over and over. This video helped something click in my brain to where now I can easily flip the board without having my front foot going straight down. The way I interpret this video is that having that front ankle "flush" (for lack of a better word) with the board as it makes its way up from the pop really cuts down on the amount of movement that is required. I started paying attention to the point where my ankle felt "parallel" (I need a dictionary) to the board and then just sent out a small ankle flick that would produce a nice spin each time while my front foot was still in the air. That almost upwards motion of the ankle flick is what keeps my front foot up. The sliding the foot over and over made me feel like I needed to extend my front leg really far like a karate kick. I feel like that is probably still the right way to get really solid kickflips, but the info at 2:48 really helped me once I marinated on it. Thanks for the help!

Great tip! One thing that really helped me learn kickflips properly was making sure my shoulders stayed fully square with the board throughout the whole trick. When i started doing that properly my front foot really started gripping to the slide up the board which helped get them a lot higher. Also you have a very beautiful kickflip!

[@JohnnyMac727]

Literally one of the best Tutorials ever very in depth and detailed and explained in a way where even someone who is just beginning could understand…. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into you’re videos it’s helped me and so many others out there

[@YUNGWAVY]

love these videos! you have a nice editing style! I hope to see more. Your tricks are so clean

[@Skiddyskates]

Thanks for swinging by and leaving a comment. Editing these is always a lot of fun. Maybe we could make a video together one day.

[@studderist]

this video was posted right when i figured out im ready to learn kickflips, it's like a message from the skateboard gods telling me i'm worthy enough

[@Skiddyskates]

Haha yes, you are worthy.

[@Dubnlove]

He's back!!! It's time to skate ! Your tutorials help so much!!!

[@chrismaggio7879]

It was magic to me watching the board rise and spin. It was just too quick of a motion to actually catch the technique... this was sooooo helpful. Thx!

[@axstnn3649]

Bro I’ve been struggling so bad ant advice?

[@kizashikaze9066]

A few things that helped me out a *lot* when I relearned kickflips (after not doing them for 20 years lol) - Like Skidish said, wait until you pop before you flick! - Jump back juuuuust a little bit. This helped greatly with my front foot - Be patient when you're in the air over the board. - Keep your backfoot at least in the same line as it was when you popped. - Jump higher, let the board get more vertical before you flick, and tuck your back knees in when you're going for bigger flips.

[@georgeingram2763]

Great vid dude, I think this is the only video I’ve seen where you specifically say you have to WAIT until you do the flick, not flick straight away. For me the feeling is like waiting until my head is over the front of the board before the flick.

[@kenziekronic]

Kickflips are so fun but also a huuuge challenge to learn. Learning how to commit and put both feet back on the board was the hardest thing for me mentally. Just gotta trust yourself 😊

[@Skiddyskates]

The way you flick your kickflips is pristine.

[@ryanrixon332]

Duuuuuuude! I discovered the waiting to flick bit by accident today! Soooo helpful! Haven't seen other people mention it.

[@mikemoccia4965]

Just found your channel, thank you, the way you explain and show things is really helpful to me. Hope you start making videos again/more often, even for basic things like ollie and top 5 initial tricks :-)

[@DeanRollin]

Bro I remember seeing your videos a few years ago and commenting thinking that you needed way more attention and you got it bro congrats on 80k 🎉

[@Skiddyskates]

Thanks! never thought it would get to 80k but im glad to have helped so manny and I have learned a lot in the process. Thank you for sticking around

[@Skateboyprime]

I will try a kick flip and will post my fail kickflip so that i can learn from my mistakes. Thanks for the tip Mate !

[@HaydenTooFaded]

babe wake up skidish skateboarding posted

[@Skiddyskates]

Haha This one made me laugh

[@The_world_at_large]

Just started getting consistent, what helped it all click was Wait to hear the board pop Make sure sure you bring your knee up on your back leg

[@Imtired93]

Loved your video mate. Do you do skate vlogs? If not, o think that'd be a great way to expand your audience, i think people would really enjoy them!

The nose of the board? It’s an FA they do have a really big nose.

Binge watching your channel, I dig the way you format🤙🏼😎 Struggling with flip trix, Ollie’s are good on and off curbs, but I’m not squatting enough, working on muscle memory

[@Hey12989]

I've found that if I just focus hard on where my front foot is going it helps my flick a lot

My problem with kickflips is that im always landing before the board and cant get the flick consistently

Please help. I always land with my back foot. The front one lands very quickly on the floor while the board is still flipping. I tried almost everything and can’t get it done.

Ignore the 3 steps and do all the steps in one like a karate kick,I think the steps is whats confusing people because its not 3 steps its 1 step with 3 things you do(spring,flick,high crouch)

Don’t learn to catch with your back foot. I did that and now I can’t catch with both my feet. Or my front foot. Ik im doing the flick wrong but landing on my back foot started that bad habit

[@Skiddyskates]

don't catch with your back foot? This is interesting
