Maurio Mccoy HIGH Kickflip Hack!

[@YUNGWAVY]

Im pretty alright at kick flips and this trick tip really helped me out too. Really seeing you break it down helped me understand this trick waaay better honestly bro! Don't stop making these videos!!

[@localjoe]

Thanks Wavy!

[@andrewfrazier9178]

Yooo my two favorite inspirations 🙌🏽 thank you both for getting me into skating. Still a noob but I’m totally addicted!

[@djjohnk]

yooooooo

[@WurznzwickaSchual]

every time he says Maurio Mccoy you have to drink a glass of vodka

[@jeffli480]

Letting the nose come up without putting pressure, then leading with the knee is probably the least talked about details that make then most difference! Maurio also is like a master of shoulder control, he keeps them so damn steady

[@loganm2766]

Yeah I’ve never heard it explained this way! Makes me excited to try it

[@maximustimmy]

Another thing to notice is that by the time he’s flicking his front foot his back foot isn’t even on the board anymore, he’s already popped it and raised the foot up really quickly. (Similar to how people do steezy tre Flips) The board then has to come up and the back foot which ultimately decides the height of the Kick flip

[@localjoe]

Good point! I'll try to cover that at some point!

[@maximustimmy]

@@localjoe definitely, that technique needs a video in itself. Keep pumping the vids out, always helping me get out and fine tune my tricks ✌️

[@abbeyglencircle]

Yes, yes, yes..... upper body is very important. Too many tutorial videos only focus on the front feet and forget everything else. Excellent video angles👍👍👍

[@localjoe]

Yeah staying close to in line with the board helped me jump higher!

[@PHeMoX]

I also think the whole 'crouching' aspect of _how_ you jump up and how you lean over your board (ie. where your head is at relative to the board) is severely underrated for how it matters the worlds. I landed my first flip tricks by staying more crouched after the flick. I don't even think 'crouched' is the right word, but definitely no extending of the legs.

[@sterlingsisemore4056]

@@PHeMoX I have this bad habit where I land with my feet fully extended and almost right next to each other

[@yungjit4456]

i feel like for me i pop way too high that my front foot doesn’t have enough time to adjust to where my nose is going and i end up air flicking or flicking down. the leading with my shins really helped me stop this bad habit and helped me get 10x more consistent with them. Thanks joe for resurrecting my kickflips 💀

[@mannysb_o]

Watched this video a while back. It’s the reason why I can kickflip consistently. Sick video as usual 🙏🏽

[@localjoe]

Great to hear!

[@christofferaikin7381]

The aspect of sliding your foot up without putting pressure makes a ton of sense. I’ve heard other tutorials where it’s mentioned that with most flip tricks you have to think to wait a split second before flicking/kicking and it’s because of what you’re saying here, that the board pops vertical and keeps going up until you flick. Gonna try these tips later, thanks g!

[@estronto]

After watching this and some of your other videos, I am subscribing! Really love the trick breakdowns..I am going to try this when I skate! Thanks buddy!

[@mo2heaven704]

Ngl I got some huge kickers…I always say it’s all in the flick! Like a slow motion flick, take your time and finesse it out

[@jacobestrada2812]

This helps a lot. I've been flicking in the wrong place the whole time!

[@enriquemeza504]

Kick flip trick tips are some of my favorites 👌

[@matanaltjeacovson4117]

I knew it was maurio from the thumbnail,great skater and seems to be a really nice person too. Also his kickflips are so good so thank you for analyzing it,i got my kickflips pretty good but there's always room for improvement. Thank you!!

[@rmhfpv9225]

This is the first time I've heard someone say to hold your shoulder angle which seems like a good tip. I hate the idea/tip of keeping shoulders parallel to the board because many awesome KFs are done with open shoulders, but making sure to hold whatever shoulder position you have is a good key. Mine are open and then rotate a bit closed which can throw the deck and feet off alignment.

[@thebayharborbutcher9115]

Yeah the squared off look is definitely not steezy but the key is you can open your shoulders a little bit as long as you don’t move them when you kick

[@4-Sight-Skating]

Definitely amazing slo mo angles on this one. I'm pretty sure I've been flicking too early. I've been trying to figure out why my flips were so low. Excited to work on this one too

[@localjoe]

You can do it!

[@4-Sight-Skating]

@@localjoe it's already been a huge help. I was flicking way too fast and early... I kickflipped like a foot higher 1st try after watching this. It was exactly the tip I needed. Thanks for the killer content. It's really a big help

[@enriquemeza504]

I'm loving the energy in the videos lately you look super motivated to make videos.😤😤👍

[@localjoe]

I'm glad dude I've been lagging on posting but I'm tryna stick to wed fri sunday schedule then some random in betweens

[@travismurphy-skatedad2465]

Great tip! Enjoying watching you improve your skills, both skating and editing.

[@MasterSplinter-cd1df]

Well done Joe

[@petetebond]

great analisys bro. Thanks.

[@localjoe]

Appreciate it!

[@maxochavez5854]

Good stuff on that flip up the ledge !!

[@orlandubeoulve8605]

Hey man awesome vid def helps but tip in return to you bend those knees more before popping I think you'll get higher pop

[@localjoe]

Thanks for the tip I've got knee issues so i can't fully bend my knees as much as I'd like to but I'm working on them!

[@orlandubeoulve8605]

@@localjoe damn my bad bro hope its gets better soon

[@Why.Not.W1llyy]

Fantastic content bro

[@Ellingsonmineral]

You should hit the rail next to the euro gap

[@localjoe]

Been meaning to just scurrd

[@DewahKickflip]

Jumping forward a little also helps.

[@jcooksey19]

I think another thing that you didn’t mention is how he is how far he is ticking as well. The lower you tuck the higher your tricks will be

[@danielm428]

Nice job! Yeah I really like Maurio's kickflip also.

[@theboochiestore]

take a shot every time he says mario's name

[@localjoe]

haha you will die

[@LuvAkero]

in my personal opinion the skater that helped me with my kickflip was jake hayes especially after finding his tiktok trick tips very helpful

[@ArtofClovis]

Same, if you watch his Ollie tip, then kickflip it helps, he also got me learning tres

[@LuvAkero]

@@ArtofClovis yeah I need to rewatch the Ollie one again cause I can kickflip pretty alright but Ollie’s nope idk why but there’s a mental block that just doesn’t make me commit to them as much as kickflips

[@ArtofClovis]

@@LuvAkero hmm you can't commit to a high Ollie over stuff? I can kickflip high but whenever it's over something 😬 I turn into a credit card magnet...

[@LuvAkero]

@@ArtofClovis lol I have always had a prob with Ollie’s and a prob with committing with any trick I do

[@thebayharborbutcher9115]

Yeah I just don’t understand how Jake puts his front foot so far back and still get such a crazy flick off the front of the nose it’s crazy leg strength

[@Andresseus]

Setting up is what fucks with my tricks. I pretty much do tricks with the same form/energy I use to jump rope and the tricks come out sloppy. Unless I set my eye on something (a ledge) my mind will automatically want to jump higher.

[@Jaaremu]

can you do jamie griffin's backside 360?

[@Wassuphomiee]

His back foot is popping super high and the other foot he flicks after which make is super high :)

[@Dewilkoro]

I’m stuck in the kickfilp and heelflip(january my first heel and kickflip) i can’t replace and can’t do it again…can you tell me how this possible i know the front treflip, inward heelflip, inward kickfip, hardflip etc and i don’t know the f@cking kicklip…

[@hoodedcobra1531]

I feel like you were flicking too fast instead of thinking it like an Ollie letting the board come up more and then engage the flick. I’d try and pop lil more and get that back foot up more. I can get my kickflips above my knee cap right where my thighs are. And I’m jumping high and thinking it like doing a high ollie. Plus your foot is too far back I’d place them right behind the bolts

[@smowfowk2461]

that actually the jump bro...and how much u jump high and how much inch u bend down....

[@underwraps.]

Nice video. Some good info there, I've recently started skating and uploaded a few progress videos one been my first kickflip. If there are any fine skaters out there that can help me improve my technique that would be absolutely awesome 🙌🙌👌

kick flip 50 ledge next

That'd be a move for sure!

[@TonyMontana-iq1vq]

You need to bend your knees more! You skate pretty stiff

[@localjoe]

Definitely agree. I have bad knees but I've been making some break throughs with getting them healthy again so hope in the future I don't stiff leg so much
