+Eduardo Garcia nope that would be wrong, there is no order of learning tricks once you learn your ollies. All of those tricks are the same difficulty level. I leaned ollies, then kickflips, bs pop shoves, bs/fs 180s, fs pop shoves and heelflips in that order. Is that the true order of learning tricks? Nope, that is just what works for me. Any skater can learn a completely different order after ollies. I'm not a fan of "trick orders" because everyone learns differently.
slowmomike actually Aaron kyro means that when you learn those easier tricks you build up your board control better to the point where you can learn more difficult tricks at a faster rate because your board control is getting better by learning and mastering those tricks.The reason Aaron Kyro gives that order is because when you learn Ollie then you go for the kickflip instead of the front side 180 what happens is that the control of the board you have is different because the front side 180 does require board control but it doesn't require as much of it as the kickflip.That order helps in getting the basics down so the more difficult tricks basically become easier because you get better at manipulating the board and start to get more comfortable doing those motions.
slowmomike and the reason board control becomes important especially for the kickflip is that you need to be comfortable at doing the trick because no other basic trick is like it.You don't flick in that motion for an Ollie or any other basic trick.So when you build your board control you start to be able to control your feet during that motion better so instead of just kicking your feet you start to get comfortable at the flick because you got more comfortable on a skateboard by doing all those tricks so a small change like a flick rather then a drag becomes better and faster to implement.
Thanks! I finally get it. My front foot constantly never landed on the board but I've got a tip for everyone with the same problem. Try your kickflip in front of (a clean) dumpster or something as high as your chest, put both hands on top of it and push yourself up so you've got more time to put your frontfoot back on the board. I practiced it and after 15 minutes I landed both feet consistantly and when I tried it flat I almost amediatly got it...
"Us skaters are pretty insane guys, we can take hard falls and slams and get back up on our feet in no time. Separates the men from the boys!" damn! you r so cool!!xD
I have trouble committing to the kickflip, mostly because I'm scared of landing primo. I can flip it but whenever I get to landing it I move my feet away from the board so that I'm landing on the ground instead of the board. How do I get over this? Thanks
David Caetano your kickflips ain't Gona look pretty at first man just do it focus and give it everything you got takes time but if you can olie good it's like that I guess I'm not an expert but just from my point of view
If flicking harder doesn't help you get full rotation, then it's 100% a technique problem. What you need to work on for good rotation is correct dragging and flicking out technique. All that stuff is explained at 1:27. Basically for proper dragging you should: 1) Angle your foot so that when you slide up, only the *side* of your foot is in contact with the board 2) Drag up to the heel-side edge of the nose of the board (where you flick your kickflips, this video has a visual if you need one; but it's pretty straightforward) 3) When you drag up, have your feet *stay in contact* with the board throughout the entire drag. If you pick your front foot up and try to flick the board, you will get poor rotation. You need to drag entirely up the board. To properly flick the kickflip, simply flick *outwards*. Do NOT flick up and do NOT flick down. Flicking *outwards* really helps with rotation technique tremendously. Hope that helps.
I've been trying to kickflip for about a year with the way to practice you said not to do. This is the best video I have seen for doing a kickflip and after watching your video a few times and practicing your way I learned this trick In about 30 minutes and can do it every time Thanks
THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO LEARN TO KICKFLIP FOR A LONG TIME, NOW I CAN. I WATCHED THE VIDEO USED YOUR METHOD OF DOING HALFFLIPS, AND NOW I CAN DO THEM STATIONARY AND MOVING.
great video! i can already kickflip and your tips are spot on. i have one extra tip for the skaters landing one footed, try keep your line of gravity above the board and jump up off the ground! too many times have i seen skaters pop the kickflip but immediately lean the the side or back and plant one foot straight to the ground while the other foot waits for the board to spin. jump up! straight above the board!!!
You're videos are great, not only are you the best tutor for skateboarding on youtube but you're the most inspirational. Thank you for making me drag my board out from my shed for the past year!
Been practicing the kickflip like you said NOT to do it. So I switched to the way you said and I've gotten farther progression in my kickflip in 1 day rather than 1 year with the "bad" way. Thank you so much!
I've always had problems getting my front foot on the board, but the 1/2 flip idea really helped me get the hang of it, I got Kickflips down now. Thanks man!
OH MY LORD, Man I love you i used to always just flip the board halfway but after watching thing this vid like 10 minutes later i started lading them, thanks soooo much man!
thank you. i tried kickfliping so much and i could not get my front foot to land on the board and then i watched your video and i tucked my legs in and it worked thank you #LIFE SAVER!!!!!!
I subscribed to you just now. This video was 100% helpful to me. Everything you explained made sense, especially everything even before the "golden tip" of the video. I'm gonna go skate now, and thanks again, brother.
I would always tell myself that committing with both feet no matter what happens is better than landing with one foot. Basically exactly what Mike is saying but he actually demonstrates it.
First attempt when I got off work and got on my board, I landed one. But then I landed one more in the next 40 or so attempts. I think part of it is doing them so often in a short period of time that I got tired and sloppy. Dragging the side of my foot instead of the bottom of my foot is definitely the key, and I'm glad your video is gotten me to pay attention to that.
OMG! thanx soooo much!!! did the half flips and practiced it and it took my an hour to do a kick flip!!! i can do it now!! ur the best! thhhhaaaannnkkkk youuuuu!!!!!
For me the problem is not the commitment or landing, but actually the flick. LANDED my very first one tonight after a year, but couldn't get another one the rest of the session. The flick is what gives me the most trouble! Ah so frustrating!
Just sent personal messages to all the guys who I wasn't able to reply to because of this Google+ switchover. You should see a personal message in your inbox about your question.
Would you say that you are leaning weird when you come for the land? Make sure that you are over the board throughout the *whole entire* kickflip. If you start learning, you will slip out. So don't lean, make sure that your center of weight is right below you, not off to the side or anything when you come for the land.
Yeah you can be over the board and leaning weird when you land. Leaning weird when you land is the reason for slip outs. Just make sure you stay over the board the whole time, have your center of weight stay between your feet at all times (or better yet, exactly under your torso) and you won't slip out.
I like to have my right foot - my popping foot - much further on the board, almost all of my shoe is on the board - that helps me alot. When my foot is about the middle or so, i tend to "shoot" my board up and I have no control of it. This makes me land the kickflip everytime and if anyone of you are having problem with over-flipping, consider foot placement. Also when you flick your board, remember to flick it a little downwards instead of upwards.
man thanks to you now i can kickflip while i was training kickflips i was remembering what you said til it worked man thanks alot i used to be called the "wannabe" skater in my . school. THANKSSSSSSSS ALOOOOT!!!!
this is a sweet trick tip Mike. i landed my first kickflip on saturday after learning them upside down. the only problem is that i haven't landed one since. i always catch it with my back foot upside down
yeah thats what i was thinking. as soon as i started leaning over my front foot i started landing them a little better. plus im getting used to my new board so yeah. but thank you for this video!!
hey mike ive watched you videos for awhile now and you've helped me with a lot of tricks. I've been able to kickflip for awhile now but your the one that helped me the most outta any other video. I love all the slo-mo videos that help out a lot, you cover a lot when you do these videos which is great. I always show my friends your videos if there having problems. And of course they love them too. Anyway keep up the good work, im sure im not the only one you've helped. Just make sure to always stress to tuck your legs in every video haha. I guarantee that's half of the problem. ok ending it here cus if I don't ill go on for awhile.
Wow man! I don't know what to say! I'm glad to hear from other guys that my videos cover all of the bases. It's very reassuring and always makes me feel good hahah. And yeah I know what you mean about stressing the "tuck the legs thing", I believe I did a lot in both my common problems and ultimate trick tip videos, I guess not enough :P I really want to make a 2nd common problems kickflip video sometime soon so that I can just redirect all replies over there and stress more about _tucking those legs_, would make things much easier haha. Well anyways, I really really really appreciate the kind words man! I love the positive feedback!
One of the most helpful vids I've seen on kickflips...I can get the spin but I tend to land with one foot although ive landed a few Im just looking for consistancy...I guess just bringing my knees up and in and waiting for the board to flip will help a lot...thanks man.
Yeah man! Just make sure you tuck your legs in, that is super important - tucking both of your legs into your body (get both of your knees to almost meet your chest) right after you have flicked your kickflip
I only have two problems 1: I have landed them before clean but some times I catch it with my toes and since I’m on the edge I fall off 2: a lot of the time my back foot always sucks to the middl e of the board and it makes me slip out I am so close to learning them and. This tip will help so much thanks!
i know, i was joking, but i'm doing the half-flip/landing on the deck thing!! been doing that and practicing moving and higher ollies! thanks man, your videos are awesome!! :D
I went through a lot to come back and find this video so I could thank you. I have been trying to land kick flips for a while now and after watching this video I landed 2 kick flips, On the concrete! So thanks a bunch :D
I got to say this video helps a lot. At first it was difficult to do. With practice, I slowly went from landing with one foot to landing both feet on 1/2 kickflips to actually doing it. It takes time to fully get it, depending how quickly you learn. I still need more practice because I can only do a few but thanks bro.
Thank you for this I am so used to watching Aaron Kyro videos that I was like okay I need to put my foot here not where I want it and I need to flick it fully not half way YOU ARE THE BEST I learned kickflips with your method in 1 HOUR!!!!!!
thanks for making al these videos, it helped me out a lot! just thanks for taking al this time just to teach people like me to skate better! (sorry for the bad english but i'm from the Netherlands..)
one thing you forgot to mention was to delay the flick of the kickflip so you can get them higher. if you pop and flick right away, you'll rocket flip pretty low. if you drag along with the board in the kickflip direction and flick it with your ankle at the peak, it'll be higher. i've done this, it works
Hey Mike, i just saw ur slomo first person kickflip, it helped alot thanks, ive notice how ur foot is positioned and the dragging and the flick, as of of i know i have the flipping of the board down, now im just working on trying to land it thanks!
dude your my hero ikeep landing my back foot on my board so i thought im getting better but learning about the 1/2 kickflips im almost gonna land it :)))))
Dude thank you so much, been nailing these since I watched your vids. Totally impressed with your knowledge of what goes right and wrong and your presentation on how to correct it, soo helpful. Just a thought though, if you are teaching people in person try not to convey annoyance about how and why people are getting it wrong. You may alienate them. In saying that once you start nailing the flip it is SOOOO easy to correct that foot. Hope that doesnt come across as a totally dickish comment cause your video totally got me nailing flips and I've been stuck for ages. Many many thanks dude.
Appreciate the feedback man! As for that kickflip rant, it was just something I really needed to say because it was kind of an homage to my younger self. If my 13 year old self was here right now, that is what I would say to him. Based on my experience, you are one of the lucky ones who are able to correct that footing problem easily. I wasn't as fortunate, and many many other people aren't as well (based on experience and comments in this video). It took me so long to fix it because I did that bad motion over and over and over again, until it was practically burned into my head to plant my foot down and it really got me pissed. Fixing it was an incredible pain. That problem was one of the worst problems I faced and I didn't want other people to fall into that same hole. So I guess that's the reasoning behind that, haha. My apologies if what I said may have alienated you, that was definitely not the intention. My intention was "PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T DO THIS OR YOU'LL COME OUT LIKE ME AND IT WILL SUCK REALLY BAD".
Thanks man, I always thought I was doing it right by flicking it up but I was actually kicking it out, I'm starting to land them now! (1/2 flips, but sometimes the whole rotation) :D
Hey dude a friend of mine learned ollie norths before kick/heelflips so that he could get used to taking his board off the board and placing back on. It realllly worked for him not sure if you agree or not but I thought I'd let you know in case you agree. Awesome videos!
Hey I'm learning kickflip and I had your same problem yesterday but I solved this (even thought I'm not able to kickflip yet) what worked for me is to land only with my backfoot. Later I managed to land with both. But only 1/2 kickflip and not always working
+ Jesse Wong (I can't reply to you directly, check your youtube settings if you wish to have direct replies from me so that you can get notifications about it) The problem that you may be having is that you are not *tucking* your legs. You must must must *tuck* your legs after you have flicked the board. So pretty much, once the front foot is left the board, tuck both legs so that *both knees almost meet your chest*. That's how you would solve that.

Landed my first kickflip today!! Nice video
Congrats dude! That's awesome!
Nice
legit
this helped alot even though it's an old video
What does being an old video have do with that?
Pierson McWayne lmao
I mean kick flips really haven’t changed since they were first done. Other then an old school kick flip.
Man, you're the best tutorial guy I saw on yt for skating!!!
Could kickflip watched your videos learnt them within 20 mins of practice. Thanks dude your awesome keep making videos
Sick man! Congrats on getting it! :D
Awesome to know that my videos work, gives me the drive to make more
No matter how hard I try I cannot even get close to doing half kickflips
Dude, you're like the god of skate tutorials. I've never saw a tutorial with such in depth error solving. Thank you alot.
But Aron kyro said that u have to know ollie frontside180 backside180 pop shuv it front side pop shuv it heel flip and finally kick flip

go watch Spencer nuzzi ride Channel how to kickflip then you'll understand
I'm not flicking down or up, i seem to be flicking sideways, and i cant get my front foot back on.

No. No Worries! I figured out that i was dragging too far out so. That why I could never get my front foot back on. THANKS THOUGH BRO!!
one thing you forgot to mention was to delay the flick of the kickflip so you can get them higher. if you pop and flick right away, you'll rocket flip pretty low. if you drag along with the board in the kickflip direction and flick it with your ankle at the peak, it'll be higher. i've done this, it works
Thank you slowmomike!!! I did the half flips in grass then a full flip!! Thank you!!!
that's awesome dude! congrats! =]
This was the best kickflip tricktip ever
thanks helped a lot gonna try that half kick flip tip I usually land with my back foot only
Sounds good man, good luck!
Hey Mike, i just saw ur slomo first person kickflip, it helped alot thanks, ive notice how ur foot is positioned and the dragging and the flick, as of of i know i have the flipping of the board down, now im just working on trying to land it thanks!
Thank you alot!!! I tried to do the half kickflip and it works !
dude your my hero ikeep landing my back foot on my board so i thought im getting better but learning about the 1/2 kickflips im almost gonna land it :)))))
So detailed, going to get them down. Thanks man
the tip at 6:48 is gold that was how i learned them (and tre flips)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! the half kick flip totally helped :D
Thanks, dude i'll practice them tomorrow.
thanks man your the god of skateboarding
Haha, 7:55. That's me. My problem's often the half flip.
Haha i wonder if you are still active on yt
Dude thank you so much, been nailing these since I watched your vids. Totally impressed with your knowledge of what goes right and wrong and your presentation on how to correct it, soo helpful.
Just a thought though, if you are teaching people in person try not to convey annoyance about how and why people are getting it wrong. You may alienate them.
In saying that once you start nailing the flip it is SOOOO easy to correct that foot. Hope that doesnt come across as a totally dickish comment cause your video totally got me nailing flips and I've been stuck for ages. Many many thanks dude.
Appreciate the feedback man!
As for that kickflip rant, it was just something I really needed to say because it was kind of an homage to my younger self. If my 13 year old self was here right now, that is what I would say to him. Based on my experience, you are one of the lucky ones who are able to correct that footing problem easily. I wasn't as fortunate, and many many other people aren't as well (based on experience and comments in this video). It took me so long to fix it because I did that bad motion over and over and over again, until it was practically burned into my head to plant my foot down and it really got me pissed. Fixing it was an incredible pain. That problem was one of the worst problems I faced and I didn't want other people to fall into that same hole. So I guess that's the reasoning behind that, haha. My apologies if what I said may have alienated you, that was definitely not the intention. My intention was "PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T DO THIS OR YOU'LL COME OUT LIKE ME AND IT WILL SUCK REALLY BAD".
Thanks man, I always thought I was doing it right by flicking it up but I was actually kicking it out, I'm starting to land them now!
(1/2 flips, but sometimes the whole rotation) :D
Thank you for this video bro🔥😊I subbed and liked
Legend mate can land them clean and high i owe you one
thanks for your tip (trying to land half kickflips) I'm learning switch flip with it :D
Hey Mike.
I am freaking crying at the moment
I LANDED MY FIRST KICKFLIPS!
But I just need them to get them more higher.
Hey dude a friend of mine learned ollie norths before kick/heelflips so that he could get used to taking his board off the board and placing back on. It realllly worked for him not sure if you agree or not but I thought I'd let you know in case you agree. Awesome videos!
Best explained tutorial
Hey I'm learning kickflip and I had your same problem yesterday but I solved this (even thought I'm not able to kickflip yet) what worked for me is to land only with my backfoot. Later I managed to land with both. But only 1/2 kickflip and not always working
thankyou for that great tip man.
best tip ever, i watch this video,1 day later i did my first kicklip
This mans a god
I really want to learn these but im more comfortable with heels naturally :(
Thank you I’m gonna try that
thx bro this is the most helpfl vid ive ever seen

The problem that you may be having is that you are not *tucking* your legs. You must must must *tuck* your legs after you have flicked the board. So pretty much, once the front foot is left the board, tuck both legs so that *both knees almost meet your chest*. That's how you would solve that.
