Jeremy Wray does one kickflip a day and posts it on instagram. There's only one issue- THAT SET UP THO! How does it work? Instagram: @sk8vegan Facebook: / timeline
YES! I always remembered his set up for that frontside flip over Carlsbad. Filming sure has come a long way since then. Awesome content man, I love when people pick up on little details like that.
Hey, thanks for the tip, I've been trying to figure out ways to flip higher, I can ollie over benches and bushes and random shit waist high but flipping is a whole other game. Gonna try it out!
I was battling to kickflip over a bench, and a friend who is sponsored and way better than me suggested putting more of my front foot on. It worked. Immediately.
I don't leave my toes hangin off, but sometimes i kickflip putting my front foot like an ollie so i can get it higher (i started doing it because of a trick tip from Mike Mo Cavaldi)
I have a pretty typical setup on a kickflip, but my friend and I both set up our heelflips more like an ollie without our toe hanging off the board. It helps to get more of an accurate flip and it can help to pop it higher.
I loved Jeremy when I was a little kid. I could never kickflip like this. Tried to do that Wray style flip.....but then ended up doing them my own way.
when I used to skate as the time past I found my front foot getting closer and closer to the toe edge of my deck. I also found it made my kickflip higher.
yeah you just lift your flicking foot up more than flicking out. personally i like it this way cause it gives me more control and stability when catching the board since i literally flick the board and raise my leg up instead of out. it gives it more height which can be a pain if you don't jump high enough to give the board room to fully rotate
That's how I thought u did it when I first started skating because I watched goofy trick tips on kick flips but then I found out what positions I was them it was much easier
i kickflip like this pretty often...i mean i typically do it with my whole foot on the board but not with my toes hanging off...i only do it that way if i want a slower more tweaked looking kickflip
For this specific set up it's all about the type of pop you do. When you pop [HARD] straight down and jump straight up with your knees equidistant almost like you're jumping back into a tall chair or even over one. The flick isn't done on the toe, it's done using the bottom edge of your shoe, not the suede canvas. Great for adding height and saves the shoes in the long run
Hey hey Sk8vegan just an off topic question... Can you do a pressure flip? It's another crazy foot setup combo. I love doing them in a game of skate, my secret manoeuvre. 👍😀
Ive done it a long time ago when i was joking around and did a heelflip like a kickflip also its kinda hard but i feel like if yu get used to it theres really no harm to it
Jeremy is a freaking legend! I think everybody has different ways of doing tricks and sometimes people have truly unique ways, like his. If it's the technique that works the best for you, use that one :)
For me, getting height on kick flips is all about setting up like an ollie. Put your foot like an ollie and just get a really good flick for your ollie
Jason Maxwell does it like that too (toe slightly less off tho) check out his part in the transworld uno video at the 1:40 min mark which regardless is a really sick and solid kickflip for 1996! =]
I noticed this, too. Perplexed by this, I even asked DM'd him on instagram asking him why he sets up his feet like this. He basically said it helps him. But for the mass majority of the people, I would say don't do this. If you want to have more pop and more height, it's all about delaying your flick and really getting a good flick on your Ollie. Luan probably has the best flick out there.. Notice how Luan usually delays his tricks because they're so high?
maybe they're able to delay it because it takes longer to get their foot off and flick when they place their foot in the awkward position. I think that makes sense, because when beginners are learning kickflips, you put your front toe way off near the side and you get a fast flick and low pop.
i mean. this can be said and done with any trick. skateboarding is more mental then physical. i prove t his to my friends all the time. i can do any trick i can do with any foot placement. it doesnt matter. and i do these trick sin work boots. boat shoes, and a longboard. i can put my front foot behind the back bolts and still do a heel flip.....think about that.... i put two heels on my tail. and do a heel flip.... lol
it's not that strange and it's not late flipping it's just more friction... when I want a tweaked KF I do something like that it's like moving your foot back to get a higher ollie... I can also heelflip in kickflip position...
I.C. karting I don't agree at all. Look at lizard king's kickflip. I got a pic with him in my instagram btw @eliweaver He has such a high kickflip and he says he just sets up his foot like an ollie. Setting up your feet like this isn't necessarily good. in order to get a higher kickflip, you should just set up your foot like an Ollie.
Well, i'd say Jeremy Wray, the master of KF proofs you wrong any day any age ;) Back in the days nobody was doing a kick flip like him. But otherwise, ya... if i want to kick-flip over something i have my foot in ollie position also, but will give it a try with that odd position.
yo me and my friends literally used to do kickflips from full heelflip stance when we we're kids this isnt the weirdest kickflip ever done bud but I guess views are views right?
YES! I always remembered his set up for that frontside flip over Carlsbad. Filming sure has come a long way since then.
Awesome content man, I love when people pick up on little details like that.
me: oh he's gonna do a heelflip!
skater: Psych! ITS A KICKFLIP!
Jeremy has the best fs 360s and be heels!
Manuel (Mogely) Herrera oh hey Mogely, i love your videos
Manuel (Mogely) Herrera Ollies too lol
Best fs 360 Ollies ever!
Hey, thanks for the tip, I've been trying to figure out ways to flip higher, I can ollie over benches and bushes and random shit waist high but flipping is a whole other game. Gonna try it out!
Nice flip at the end bro!! love it!
This comment section: ItS NoT WeIRD, I Do ThIs ALL tHe TimE!!!!
Lol
i always know when youve been at a local skate park, slippin on orange peels n shit
Ayyyyye!
I was battling to kickflip over a bench, and a friend who is sponsored and way better than me suggested putting more of my front foot on. It worked. Immediately.
back when I couldn't heel flip I would set up my kick flip like this and say it was a heel flip in games of skate
I heelflip sometimes in kickflip position and say it's a kickflip in games of skate 😂
have to try it today
I don't leave my toes hangin off, but sometimes i kickflip putting my front foot like an ollie so i can get it higher (i started doing it because of a trick tip from Mike Mo Cavaldi)

0:23 well I guess I'll be on my way now... *cries and clicks on majer video*
Same position here, same late flip, but I managed to "correct" em now
My friends and I always did this on flat ground just to be silly but never tried it over anything more than a skateboard on it's side.
I loved Jeremy when I was a little kid. I could never kickflip like this. Tried to do that Wray style flip.....but then ended up doing them my own way.
i put my toes right up to the edge usually but then again i also tend to ride bigger boards. works great for getting air under you when it flips.
when I used to skate as the time past I found my front foot getting closer and closer to the toe edge of my deck. I also found it made my kickflip higher.
I have to try that, my kickflips barely leave the floor

Tony Gamez So are you telling me you did tricks with an unusual foot placment?
i kickflip like this pretty often...i mean i typically do it with my whole foot on the board but not with my toes hanging off...i only do it that way if i want a slower more tweaked looking kickflip
I do I watched Mike Mo trick tip and he explained the same thing so that's how I've always done kick flips
When I skated with Donnie Barley he did it similar to that.
I use to be able to heel flip with my foot in a kickflip stance. But as i got older i learned that i was doing it wrong.
xXlongshot45Xx Hahaha crazy, man. Wouldn't it feel awkward????

I set by front foot way back when I do heelflips.

666phoenix27 thank you
no prob m8

i miss those days... when nobody cares about style or how good you are.
I guess he makes a point, it does help get some extra upward leverage before you flick
ok pj ladd lands his kickflipu like that
Jason Maxwell does it like that too (toe slightly less off tho)
check out his part in the transworld uno video at the 1:40 min mark which regardless is a really sick and solid kickflip for 1996!
=]
I setup for heelflips almost like a deep kickflip
I set my foot like a kf when I first learned heelflips.
Maybe i should try my kickflip this way. Then maybe i'm finally gonna land it.
Works better for taller objects in my opinion. That's how I set up for tables.
at least he did it
Speaking of flips.....how about that Muska from side flip style. All inverted and through his legs.
I tried this on flatground but all i got was a rocket kickflip
I had an add for skater trainers. Don't get them because it will be hard to learn the right way.
It kind of depends on what shoes I skate to be honest haha , I put it more like Jeremy when they have a nice toe cap
Mine is kinda like that but it more slanted and towards the middle.
I noticed this, too. Perplexed by this, I even asked DM'd him on instagram asking him why he sets up his feet like this. He basically said it helps him. But for the mass majority of the people, I would say don't do this. If you want to have more pop and more height, it's all about delaying your flick and really getting a good flick on your Ollie.

i tried it and i think it is easier to clear euro gaps like that
Nice
Yes.. You setup and think Ollie more so you can essentially kickflip as high as you Ollie. All you gotta do is point your toe and hit that corner.
boatsbeats same. Feels way more controlled this way
My board dolphins if I set up like this. I guess some people can handle that foot placement. I can't.
I've tried this and it works, but it takes a lot more flick than I can consistenly put out. Worked a lot better with worn griptape though.
i tried to do it like this but it just flew forward and half flipped haha
and went 90 ahhaa
what the taille of your board
Well you also have to put into account that the boards we were all skating until like 2005 were nothing but 7.5 and 7.75
I mean it'll help him not miss the flick.
that is how I was taught to do a kickflip
That's how mine is
heh.. toe off at carlsbad because the board was like 4 inches wide.. toe had to be off ; )
in most cases this only works when you have big feet
They talked about it on his nine club épisode
FREEZedits which one? I wanna check it out.
Cash Crop Jeremy Wray !
this guy sounds like chris chann
Okay I'm getting out now
cool a vegan sk8er
I do mine kind of like like
I've done it
i was born in the year 2000 xD
i mean. this can be said and done with any trick. skateboarding is more mental then physical. i prove t his to my friends all the time.
i can do any trick i can do with any foot placement. it doesnt matter. and i do these trick sin work boots. boat shoes, and a longboard.
i can put my front foot behind the back bolts and still do a heel flip.....think about that....
i put two heels on my tail. and do a heel flip....
lol
Monetized
it did give you a badass catch and tweak tho
i was 1999 kiddo.. ;) #irememberthe90's
i always do a kickflip like that
it's not that strange and it's not late flipping it's just more friction... when I want a tweaked KF I do something like that it's like moving your foot back to get a higher ollie... I can also heelflip in kickflip position...

wow that's weird.

I subbed

I don't get what amazing about that is. I do kickflip like that when I jump stairs or anything that requires me to jump higher than normally.
MrSzczotas That's crazy! How come??
