Bro I always flick down, and because of that my first flip trick was a double kickflip. Not a normal kickflip a double kickflip.

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.

Away Right It Flip Just Many Too See Motion A Are Flip And Pop The
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. 😉👍
just landed my first kickflip! what i've been doing wrong was I was flicking straight/down and could never get my front foot back on the board on time, so I started flicking upwards and it finally happened! got 2 today :-)
Can you make a video on fear? I think that that would help a lot of people. And it's awesome that you started uploading again. I'm always looking forward for your videos!

Your kick flips are clean man. Nice pop, great extension with the front leg and you catch it high. Good stuff

Bro, Just getting back into skating after 18 years away. I could do kickflips before but this video helped me so much on getting a more advantageous foot position, and better catch. Thanks a million dude. I subscribed.
1st tip really helped me, thank you!
Very cool, thanks! That last tip especially!
I used to land kickflips nearly every time, then I had a long break from skateboarding, and now I have to re-learn it...

I've never heard anyone ask for a thumbs down. That's hilarious.

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.

Great tips, straight to the point. Nice video!
1. Feet too close together 2. Opening shoulders up 3. Hands on ground 4. Kick or flip down with front foot 5. Separating pop from the flip
I've been skating since i was 8 years old, I must say great tutorial, clean flip , clean catch, the way it,s meant to be done ;) I'd add one thing though, nevaaah learn new tricks while standing still!! always try to be in motion even if it's only a little bit.
I like how you brought up the point of the frustration that some people have searching for good tutorials and then running into the problem of a vlog skater wasting your time with a suggestive title.
Great tips ! Thanks for sharing !

Kickflips are one singular synchronized fluid action. I didn't really learn anything new about kickflips here, but now I got an idea on how to do double and triple flips. You got a like, my man.
Just hit my cleanest kickflip. Step 5 helped a lot! Thanks dude!
awesome as always , but i feel like u should cover a bit more advanced stuff. there is alot of beginner stuff but not much in the ways of starting to flip into grinds and other advanced tricks.

good tips, nice kickflips, i'm starting skateboarding again after an 8 year break and it really helped me getting my kickflips nice and high again , thanks !
subbed. thanks man! I think #5 is my biggest problem. gonna try to smooth it out.
Those are some gorgeous kickflips! Also, shout out to San Antonio and Ladybird Johnson Park! Love that place!
just recently started skating again after years and turns out my back foot position screwed my kickflips when i was a kid for years!! closer to toe edge for me personally .... great video thanks man
thank you man! you're the best🔥🔥
Thanks for the info,just started trying to skate.. at 42 years old. Tried in the 90s but kept breaking boards and couldn't afford it. I also didnt have a good grasp on how the tricks were done. These videos help alot of people
i been skating for like 17 years. and i stopped for a few years. now im skating at my 32 years of life. and your videos are really coming handy for me to get back on track. greetings from mexico
Took a few years off from skating got back into it recently. Had to relearn kickflips love these videos
Straight to the point. Thank you
the last tip, very helpful. Thanks
Great video.i just started skating again after 15 years.i used to be pretty good.now I totally suck,so fun learning everything again.(but painful) keep these videos coming please,helpn me a lot.
great tips man!
I learned how to kick flip crappy and videos like this help people understand that it’s not separate but a fluid motion and the front foot placement has helped me allot.
Thanks bro! Shoulders being aligned and synchronizing the pop and flick are my biggest issues. Its hard to reteach the body to do something different after many years of the wrong methods.
Much appreciated for the tips
your tips are so helpful. shout out to u from morocco
Thanks for the vid man, if you could do a similar video but on heelflips and/or tre flips that'd be dope.
Great video man!
Great video as always!

Excellent advice, I’ve been skateboarding for 18 years and I still have to remind myself of these tips.
