How to Kickflip Tutorial | In-Depth Trick Tip | Tactics

Спорт

The kickflip is generally the first flip trick skaters learn and it opens the floodgates for other kickflip related tricks. Here is an in-depth tutorial on how to kickflip, breaking down the mechanics and individual motions for each foot. Even though the learning curve is steep, once it starts to click it becomes automatic muscle memory any you'll want to start kickflipping everything in sight. Good luck and have fun!

    This is very thorough and nicely explained! I especially think the whole 'have confidence in landing' is going to matter so much. I've recently invested more time in learning frontside pop shove its, which to me is currently probably the most scary trick I haven't mastered yet before the heel flip and kick flip.

I picked up a board for my birthday and I’ve said your channel has helped me a lot. I’ve been just cruising and riding around for now, can’t do much while snow and stuff. But yeah, I do love this and for your motivation, I shall go out and be myself and ride my board. Keep it up. And your on the road to 100k.

    Does the board shift forward when it flips so you land on the back? Or are you situated towards the back when you try it? I would just reiterate to keep your center of gravity over the center of the board, and if your flick is making the board travel forward, then you might have to give it a slight more downward flick instead of straight forward. I hope that helps! 🙏🛹 - Tim

    honestly if you are having trouble with the kickflip. try learning the healflip. the healflip forces you to commit to letting the board spin under you something that is easy to do when learning kickflips is to step of to the side with either foot and not commit.

    Your last tip, may be the most important one. Getting frustrated, and keep trying, and the attempts getting worse an worse and worse..(and you getting angrier and angrier). Maybe even till the point where you give up, and hate the whole experience. So taking a break from trying trick, can actually be the most constructive thing you do. Often if I sleep on stuff, the next day, you may even be closer to landing than the day before (because of muscle memory and all that). I would say it's vital

    Do you do a lot of micro foot-shifting and adjusting when your going to try a trick? Sometimes I see skaters who twist and shift their feet around on the grip tape when getting sett up for a trick and it just eats the sole. Also if you do a lot of foot dragging to brake, that can also wear out the soles. There are definitely some brands out there that have very durable proprietary rubber compounds for the outsole. Also cupsole shoes are more durable on the bottom than vulcanized shoes. Etnies did a collab with Michelin tires to make a very durable rubber sole. The Marana Michelin shoes from Etnies are super durable. I don't know if you've already seen this video, but it might help you out when your choosing your next pair of skate shoes.

    That's a tough one. The best advice I could give you is to build some boxes, flat bars, and ramps to skate. Keep an eye out for abandoned foundations or areas that you could potentially build a DIY spot. My hometown had very few spots, and we would get kicked out of the few that we're any good. So we just built a bunch of stuff and had our own little skatepark in my friends cul-de-sac. I hope that helps! - Tim

    Is it only flipping over half way? It probably has something to do with your flick. Be sure you're flicking of the side of the nose and giving it a good healthy kick to get it around. Also be sure to get a good jump and pop so the board has enough air time to finish the flip. The hardest part about flip tricks in general is finding that balance of jump, pop, flick, and crouch, all while keeping it under your body. It'll take some dedication and a willingness to fall a few times from committing, but I know you'll be able to get it! Cheers! - Tim
