Oh it's Tuesday buddy. I mean Friday..every day a Friday

If you look at Nyjah's back foot, he does not have it in the center of the board; his back foot is counter balancing his front foot that is hanging off. Combine that with tighter trucks and you can remain stable I think. Nyjah also wears a 9 or 9.5 shoe size, so that probably helps him out a bit too.

I ride looser than most people I've ever skated with but I do kickflips like this too, the counterbalance thing works on the loosest of boards, finding your center of balance with this footing is also key.

100% you are so right. I'm still learning kickflips and I tend to have that foot positioning but then flick to the side and I get mobbed flips if any. But in one of the last sessions, I guess by accident, I started to get that 'swoosh' feeling of flicking through the board and the board 'going away', rather than my foot leaving the space, knowimean. Actually worked and made it much easier to catch some, too!

Great tips brother! 👍🏾

Yowww brow I'm totally learning Kickflip now I know how to do it thank you for a wonderful content I hope more vlogs to come❤️

I’ve used this foot position for so long and once you understand it, it’s beautiful and you have it 90% kickflips are bread and butter with position you feel the nose it’s hard to explain but you’ll get it.

This is the only foot position that works for me but I have trouble balancing even with tightish trucks do you have any tips for balance in this foot position?

These videos help me so much !

Thanks for the great video advice

A good skateter up picking up all the good tips from a better skaters only gonna make u even better brother keep pushing it man

This is how I do my kickflips and definitely feel where it sometimes wants to varial. I counter pressure with my back foot towards the opposite direction of my front foot while i'm popping to keep it underneath me. I found I have a hard time keeping it under me going off/up things though.

I’m no kickflip pro but my tip would be to just focus on getting a more comfortable front foot position to whatever suits you, but using the same idea of flicking more off the side of the nose instead of the board. It’s hard to get used to at first but also try to only flick using your ankle and nothing else and it’ll be a lot easier to catch it with two feet on the board like nyjah. Having a solid pop and foundation would also help tremendously

Just want to say how much I enjoy your channel. Your videos cover topics I have down pretty good but I just like your insight and seeing you work out the tricks. I look forwards to the next video.

Went out and bout these for me and my daughter for when we want to skate but cant get out to a skate spot you can use these anywhere bc they quite up the board and you dont need much space to use them... pretty awesome.

I love the Nyjah kickflip technique and I like looser trucks, eventually you get used to it, it did wonders to me. But I also like to mix this with the Luan Oliveira's kickflip, he apparently goes almost ninja kick

Man, thank you very much, your video has helping me a lot! Nowadays, I can make a perfect kickflip cuz of it. Good job buddy

Wow, now i can kickflip. Been struggling to get a good kickflip for a long time, when I went out and tried this I got it first try. Thanks for the enlightening content

I learned long and hard with the other foot position, but tried this ONCE, and landed the most perfect, smooth and balanced kickflip I've ever done-

I kickflip almost the same exact way except I I have my front foot on the bottom corner bolt instead of behind it. I use the toe of my shoe to cover the bottom left bolt and flick straight up through the pocket and off the nose instead of off the side. My back foot covers the whole tail to counter balance how off my front foot is. People laugh at me because of my foot position until I kickflip and it’s so clean and then people are amazed on how I can kickflip like that.

great video

i would put a lil comment on the wobbling board: Nyjah does a little hop to adjust his foot positioning ( as some other pros also do it ), it helps with leveling both of your feet "on point" and well-distributed weight on both side of the board. Love your vids man keep it up :D

this is how i have always done it. my kickflips were always good, but i thought this was a lame way to do them. it feels natural for me so i never bothered to try to change it. i have also never had issues with getting decent pop while hanging off my foot.

Maquinaaaa!! Saludos desde Murciaa

When I was younger (and lighter) i started doing my kickflips like this and it basically let me be able to kickflip almost everything that I could ollie.

Sick bank.. you can learn a lot from there

Best way to kickflip onggg

I may have to try a variation of this next skate session. My foot is about halfway across and a few inches down from the bolts, but I need to move my foot further up so I can improve my height. Hopefully I get some good results.

Great video! Take a sip every time the word “flick” is uttered 😃

i definitely feel like it’s preference cause everyone has a different foot placement

Nice video 🤩😉 greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 😉 Nyjah kickflips is so stylish 🤩

I tried today for The very first time and It works fine even for a quite Big guy like me. I will work on mastering this technique. Thanks!

Dan Corrigan said LvL your Ollie and delay your flick. The problem is you’re kinda going at it the varial flip way where you flick as soon as you pop. Get your pop height up where you consistently land them. Add the delayed flip. Position like Nyjah and flick straight. Love your vids tho. Keep that knee strong.

I Switch between using the tail or nose with tricks because of the pop. I use the nose when I kickflip because of the pop. Kickflip in any position requires you to manipulate and consciously understand your level out and pop ability.

Interesting to compare Nyjah his kickflip kick with your kickflip clips in this video. Check out the comparison in position at pop, mid-air and during landing. You will notice Niyah bends a lot more at the knees at all those moments! He his really crouching down during pop, sucks up his knees in mid-air before the catch and bends again after landing to reduce impact. Also notice how straight his whole posture is.

Don't forget a straighter posture during squat has a lot to do with body anatomy. As it is with weightlifting, you can't try to emulate certain postures without adjusting foot position and angle because of differently sized legs - and even then you might not even be able to do it so.

so i been doing this way before i knew nyjah did it and i thought i was doing it wrong the whole time because most people put their foot in the middle of the bored and i feel so uncomfortable doing it so now ik that one of the best skaters do it and i feel proud

flicking more edge of the corner will flip faster. If you flip closer to center it will flip slower. You wanna do it where you catch the board with your back foot while your still going up at the peak of the height

Yours look really good using this technique

how long have you been skating? I think these kickflips were looking nice

So, I also tried this, and I found it works so much easier which his specific board shape, you also have to adjust the timing of your flick because you cutting down the amount of time you are sliding your foot

@localjoe

Good tip!

He flicks forward and up with his leg as he does the ollie motion, so it probably makes it easier to catch with both feet. If you flick down with your leg or even straight your board will go down in the front. Try the upward (the up motion of the board) and forward flick.

Nice video,maybe i'll try doing my switch flips like that,i'm still not very consistent at them but i kind of realize the logic of this way of doing kickflips

if you've already got good flick and you get decent height, I wouldn't try this method unless you've got strong ups; you're using less board to slide when popping, so it sacrifices height (unless you catch a lot of the nose on the short flick)

Squat more for better/higher kickflips and skating in general. By squatting to 90 degrees you get better tricks. It helped me a lot, tho at start is weird but it's the right way

it works SO DAMN WELL for gapping down, just not enough height for flatground... unless you're Nyjah and have spring like an NBA rookie

I also have weird kickflips when I go off a ramp or anywhere that is a high platform. I have my toes past the bolts so i dont really over flick becuase when i do it the other way i do a double

Nyjah is flicking UP. with that he can leverage that fast flick and get a long hangtime with high pop. You are flicking DOWN! One can see that most oviously when you flip down the curb. This gives you fast flick but little pop! Also Nyjahs knee extends similar to the jamie foy heelflip hack you explained. This also allows to flick up, late and fast! I think flicking up even needs less energy, but you need good grip!

I skate loose trucks and I kickflip this same way. I also never ride a board under 8.25. I have tried this technique with a skinny board and it sucks, bit with an 8.5, you still have a good 5 or 6 inches of your foot on the board. It works.

im a heelflip guy so this helps refine my kickflips

great vid man, you should check out Luan Oliveira's foot position (extremely centered front foot, looks like anybody's ollie) for a comparison :)

I also noticed Nijahs back foot it's completely on the board. That probably helps him balance his front foot being barley on. Great video! I'm going to try this later!

when you have your front foot that far off the board, you want your back foot to sit the opposite side, same distance. it balances you, pre-pop, and mounts the pressure for a stronger pop as long as you've got most of your weight on your front foot.

this technique is tough with loose trucks! I tried it out when I first saw that nine club interview, definitely challenging

I ride regular . I place my front food near the bolt in the corner. .little pivot so my toe is pointing out n with i flick I pivot it back

Lol his grunts are funny as he does the Euro Gap

kickflios weren't ever really a problem for me after I learned them, heelflips on the other hand always jacked me up for some reason

on loose trucks you'd need a super strong ankle and foot to hold on the board with the tip of your big toe basically..

Jahhhhhhh

He’s using almost a boneless foot positioning, and, it feels like it makes kick flips so much easier

Bro I go to that park a lot

u can tell wen ur Hittin more straight forward bc the board bends down more

I'm learning kickflips and have that foot position already, and the flick but i can't land any cuz of my front foot. I get really nice formed kickflips but i can't land em, my board always lands a bit behind my front foot. I tried leaning back a bit and trying to front foot catch but then they just rocket real bad and my balance is off

So the three main factors are your board size, how high you can jump, and WHEN you flick. I think of Kickflips as an Ollie late flip with a ninja kick catch. Also, try jumping behind you bc my boards tends to flip somewhat behind me. Keep your shoulders in line and make sure you get your chest plus legs as high as possible

I’ve always flicked like that can’t believe I’m just now seeing this vid

i've done nyjah flips my whole life without knowing

I have a simillar Kickflip foot position to nyjah but my kickflips are not as consistent as they once were and they have become more rocket

But do i flick on the right side or left ?

I got nyjahs kickflip consistently where eve I put my front foot, heel flip position Ollie position anything cuz no mater where I put my foot I flick out in the same spot all the time that’s the most important thing to remember just flick on that spot I don’t even think about it

I'm going to try it but I've been doing it the same way for so long I think I may struggle

what about shortening the setup time, that would be a variable you could adjust

it is really good for backside flips. i keep my back foot with all of the pressure on the toe side of the board, and my front with my heel hanging off with all of my pressure on the heal side. the opposing pressure on the tail of the board makes the flick of the front foot really snappy.

I just skate the boards nose as the tail and now my kick flips are insane and look slomo and it's nothing ground breaking it's just I use my imagination and BOOM! It's really that simple

Nah more I’d say the flick itself is inherently snappy you don’t really need to try.

Maurio McKoy flicks of the pocket and has arguably one of the best kickflips in the game...

The tip that no one talks about is what to do with your knees! Watch Tyshawn Jones kickflips and you’ll see what I mean. He almost pops the board behind him while using his back foot to counter balance his front foot hanging off.

He balances the back foot to counteract the front foot hanging over the board. You didn't do it that is why you find it hard. Look at where he taps his back toe, at the corner of tail of the board. Just an observation, hope it help.

4:45 you can see the other guy looking at his footwork hanging his heel lol
