To be honest mate, your kickflip is looking good, the slight toe drag every time is just a little apprehensiveness, I still do that today when I'm not feeling confident, the reality is you've got both feet on it basically every try, and it should serve to reinforce the idea that you CAN actually kickflip :) Try focusing a little more on what your back foot is doing, it may help you land cleaner faster moving forward!
Cheers man. The back foot on the kickflip is the bane of my skate life. If I could get over this and stick it even once out of 10 times then I'd be a happy man. I know the flip is there its just the land.
That was awesome mate and in my opinion that 3rd spot looked the best, especially with the weather. It's how it was meant to be! You were close so many times too. Great work
Yeah the background looked perfect just a shame about the ground. With the kickflip I'm always close and can get the flip round its just the back foot most of the time that is an issue. It takes about 50 to 100 try's just to get that damn back foot on clean.
I'm glad you got that kickflip. I was trying to pay attention to your back foot. I could be wrong cause I couldn't quite make out your positioning, but I think your back foot, (your toes in particular) should be more in the middle of the tail. Not like dead center, but more like the center of the edge of the tail. (hopefully that makes sense) That might help you keep your backfoot on more when going for the landing.
@@amskateboards I believe so. I try to keep my toes more centered on the tip of the tail. It'd be easier if I showed you. But we live in two different countries. 😅
@@rayvindawkins5304 I think I know what your saying. I'll try and put that into practice on my next session. Wont be in the next few videos though as I have a few that I need to edit.

So good. Going back the 2nd time is true dedication. 👊
I would go a third if the missus was ok with it and time allowed.

So sick mate, worth everything to get that clip. Need to recreate this when we get over there with the squad.
Yeah hopefully it wont take as long though and the weather holds out.
Sick my friend and worth the extra trip, and that ground was roached!
Defo one of the worse grounds I have skated on but the back drop is perfect.
A bucket list spot for sure. Glad you went back for it. Stay Rad Sir.
Paris is amazing for skating. The Eiffel Tower is just a snippet of of Paris has to offer skate wise.

So do you mean have less foot on the board? So the heel is hanging off?

What great places to skate and you got kick flips
Couldn't come to Paris and not get a trick in front of the tower.
