mrwhiteout1 How you do that? I tried but can't get my back foot on
@bruc8509 жыл бұрын
Fabio Bruno try and imagine youre trying to tuck your backfoot's ankle in your crotch. like, suck your backfoot up so your leg looks like its curling up into your crotch, if done correctly you should have a fairly decent backfoot catch. once you get the flick timing down and in-sync with your pop and catch, youll have them better than ever.
@FabienBrunod9 жыл бұрын
Thank you, I've got already the back foot catch but not that high
@imanilusions55455 жыл бұрын
He means to let your front foot slide up enough to carry the board up high, then flick. As you see if you pay attention Lizard King has his foot set up in between the front bolts and the middle, while most people have their kickflip position right behind the front bolts. Having your front foot slightly more to the middle of the board allows him to carry his kickflip up before flicking. Depending where you have your foot is how fast you slide your foot up though. People put their foot right by the front bolts but still have a high kickflip. Thats because they slide their foot up slower than if it was toward the middle of the board. Also you dont want your foot down too low. Or else you'll just be completely uncomfortable and look dumb and like you dont know what your doing. (God i hate doing long comments, it makes me look like a smartass)

@anthonygonsalves70208 жыл бұрын
That flick delay is the essence to most flip tricks IMO. Really helps, like Lizard King said, to do your tricks with tons of pop and it literally looks so much better when you get used to it. That's how I do my heelflips (Also a heelflip kid. I do them all day long, but I kickflip once in a blue moon).
@GokuvsVegetaandBuu8 жыл бұрын
bro I'm the same way. I tried doing this method to kickflip and even though I can't get it even close to the consistency of my heelpflips, I've definitely gotten more kickflips the Lizard King way.
@anthonygonsalves70208 жыл бұрын
Daniel Wondal That's what's up, bro! My kickflips rotate very slowly, so I don't get enough pop, I end up stomping it primo. When I initiate enough pop, it looks like I'm in the air forever, mad hangtime, and end up catching them close to the ground haha. I really need to work on that, I dont think i'd be able to do kicks anywhere but flatground until I get them better. My heels, I catch in the way up...its such a good feeling.
@jimster8058 жыл бұрын
you mean where the board flips and you catch it while you're still coming up and then just stomp the rest of the way down? almost orgasmic. Depending on how my foot are set up right before i heelflip, i just know wholeheartedly that its going to be a great heelflip
@GokuvsVegetaandBuu8 жыл бұрын
jimster805 I love that early catch, something about it man.
@anthonygonsalves70208 жыл бұрын
jimster805 Yessir! That feeling is crazy good. Especially, as well, because you simply KNOW you got the trick and you can focus on the next one or continuing to ride. Also, the thud sound when the board hits your foot before you stomp it down. Love that shit. I caught maybe two kickflips like that just recently, trying to really take the time to re-learn them and get massive pop without kicking the board away (my foot catches too much grip).

@pleasantvalley98989 жыл бұрын
Along with the delayed flick I have found that it is allot easier to land and launch kick flips if you step laterally backwards while popping into the trick. Almost as if you were to step up stairs backwards off your skateboard. and if you want Neen Williams style heel flips step laterally forward when popping. (Imagining you are stepping forward off your board up imaginary stairs.) if you look closely when Lizard launches into his kick-flip his whole center of gravity shoulders and all shift forward in a perpendicular motion. If this sounds confusing to understand please comment on this post or thumbs up, ill post a video showing how Neen Williams, and Lizard king pull this off with ease. I am not trying to do this for attention I just really think there is a fool proof method to skateboarding basics. ( im not good at physics but i can summarize)

If you put pressure on the ball of your back or front foot almost like standing on your toes and then flick, it will help flick faster and be popped higher. But postponing the flick helps a lot as well!
