One of the big tips that really no one talks about that should probably be common knowledge but isn't, is that the more parallel you keep your shoulders with the board, the cleaner the kickflip is going to be. Also resist the temptation to put your foot too far behind the bolts or you'll over flip or just plain rocket flip every time. Hope this helps anyone still struggling.
Then parallel shoulders is huge. I was turning front side and flick way outwards and more down. Landing lots of them but looked goofy/mob as fuck. Still trying to break that muscle memory. The parallel shoulders is really helping me get outta that bad habit
parham morsaly i got em much better last session. Flicking out n away was taking a toll on my hip flexor. Keep shoulders over the board it changes your perspective too like. I was lookin way forward which was turning me frontside. Now my flick is straight out. That foot really almost just hooks through the nose. And a proper flick will suck that board up to your back foot for a nice catch. I think a lot of UA-cam tutorials can be misleading when they show that foot drag motion stationary. Atleast for me it made me wanna kick out n away n then have to bring me leg back over the board instead of having it floating directly over the board the entire motion. Film yourself in slow mo. For me seeing myself do it wrong was big in helping my brain correct it and break that muscle memory.
Dennis, these kickflips are magnificent! there are two types of kickflips executed here: one where he flips the board very close to his front foot, catching the board pratically with both feet at the same time; and the second one where he, after the flip, extends the front foot and catches the board with the back foot. Needless to say both incredible to watch.
@@srdjankuz damn dude, I just got a notification I opened it and saw this, then watched the video. Wanted to say thank you! my comment was 9years ago and seeing again brought up a lot of good memories for me, cheers 🍻
I never considered it when you see the grip tape, I don't think that has anything to do with it. I'm pretty sure it has purely to do with timing, which takes trial and error. Eventually a kickflip just becomes another trick..but deff timing.
Thank you so much it only took me a week but I practiced everyday and I did my first one today and I did a total of about 20 today thank you so much :)
some things i learned while practicing: make sure the pop makes little effect on the board's horizontal movement picturing what it will look like in ur head also helps, kinda mimic ur own thoughts. pick up back foot, but i think the first one is most important
thumbs up if you have clean kickflips but have no idea how to steez them out anywhere near how dennis durant does. seriously, my kickflip is waaaay diferent
this guy ACTUALLY taught me how to kickflip! it felt to awkward with the front foot, but it works to well! lots of control over it, well done! good tutorial
even if it's a basic trick it gave me more problem than a 360 flip,have a good flip (nice pop,clean and a good flick) is really hard. lot of skaters in my park could land a kickflip but lot of them mostly land a mob flip!!! so ..if you have to learn ''how to kickflip'',spend lot and lot of time to have a good flick, i know it's boring as hell but you will be rewarded.
It makes such a big difference when looking at tutorial vids when the person in the vid is actually really good! His kickflips look really cool! nice air and catches them well! Sucks when you watch a tutorial and the person can barely even land the tricks! haha!
I have had kickflips for years lol and I like to think they are pretty good but I watch this at least once a month lol just because I want to eventually get them like this holy shit they are perfect!!
@Chance Pugh I had that same problem all you have to do is focus more on jumping and keeping your feet near the board you may not want to pop very hard when first learning
try with your flipping foot toes in line with the bottom right bolts of the front truck- maybe try landing afew with your opposing foot to the one you usually land it with- looking at your front foot when you do the trick helps sometimes
I think you're right - you take your foot all the way. Look up "kickflip slow motion 1000 fps" and you will see. By the way, congrats for starting skateboarding, man! I'm 20 and just did the same. Just learned to ollie earlier today, willing to learn kickflip as well
the one tip he gave about moving your foot to the front of the board was the biggest change because i was always kicking it forward, so i started flicking the nose corner instead of the side
i ve just lernt them today i got ta good tip to learn them hold on to a railing and then try nail them holding on then pretend your holding on do it should feel different after a while then get them mate!
Remember , don't kick it too hard bro :D just flick it nice and easy . you'll get used it really soon . Kick straight out will make it harder for you to land . the flicking will make your foot always come above your board , and then you just have to stomp it :D keep going bro , if you still have problem , tell me , i'll make an explaination video for you sometime
After i watched this video i tried to do kickflips like 3 times sudddenly i landed a nice and high and clean kickflip nice man this video realy helps me
Dennis! I have a questions. Sometimes it seems like you do them extra steezy, kind of like Neen type steeze, then other times you don't. Which way is better?

His kickflips stay so close to his feet, beautiful early and level catch, among the best I've ever seen, seriously.
You got the most beautiful kickflip! Seriously
Where can I buy those kickflips?
Bradley John hi welcome to practice what can I get you

Fuck no😢
Dennis is one of the most elegant yet powerful skaters you'll ever see skate in person its truly something to witness

Well, to his point, you definitely wanna make sure your grip is up before you land. Kinda helps the whole rolling away process.
I don't always do tricks, but when I do I learn from the RIDE channel, stay skating my friends.
so fuckin steezy.. but dear LORD that girl in the shorts
ftworthskater817 ikr
0:25 Nice hangtime. Beautiful catch on the air!

"It'll probably be the first trick you learn"
"First you gotta have your Ollie's down" lol
He did say "first flip trick".
***** ye he did
some things i learned while practicing:
make sure the pop makes little effect on the board's horizontal movement
picturing what it will look like in ur head also helps, kinda mimic ur own thoughts.
pick up back foot, but i think the first one is most important

Cla Glue what's a mob flip?
This vid is great he has super clean flips!!!
dennis is so good, i'll never be able to kickflip like him. very underrated skater.
It makes such a big difference when looking at tutorial vids when the person in the vid is actually really good! His kickflips look really cool! nice air and catches them well! Sucks when you watch a tutorial and the person can barely even land the tricks! haha!

By the way, congrats for starting skateboarding, man! I'm 20 and just did the same. Just learned to ollie earlier today, willing to learn kickflip as well
The way he tightens his ankle reminds me of Luan, or Fran Molina
nice solid kickflips. Thanks
Remember his part from the "It's Time" video from circa. Couldn't get my head around the backside flip up the stair set.
Nice kickflips!

i cant get enough of his steezy ass kickflips...
when you can pop shuvit and get them pretty well and frontside 180 might also help with the control of the board.
This man's kickflips are beautiful.
remember this order: balance, parallel shoulders, knees bent, pop, slide foot, no fear, commit to that bruhh & You got it homie
After i watched this video i tried to do kickflips like 3 times sudddenly i landed a nice and high and clean kickflip nice man
this video realy helps me
He does them so good
His kickflips are so clean and precise! Though I think Lizard King still has the best in the book.
really clean kickflips
cleanest kickflip ive seen if u ask me
Its so clean that he doesent even have to flick out
i already know how to kickflip, i just like to look at his clean and beautiful kickflips
Most helpful tip: flick to front of the board, not the side. This solved my problems with my kickflips.
Finally! After years of trying I pretended I was Dennis and now I land them every other try
am I the only one who's already happy with my kickflips but still watching this?!
I hope he does go pro when his part comes out in march, cant wait he well deserves it after what i heard Mystery did to him..
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CLEAN!
This makes my left ear feel so good

most beautiful kickflips ever seen
Can you make a video with common mistakes on landing the trick
nice this really helps me
those are some CLEAN kickflips my friend! i landed my first kickflip on tape!

cleanest kickflip i've ever seen
Dennis! I have a questions. Sometimes it seems like you do them extra steezy, kind of like Neen type steeze, then other times you don't. Which way is better?
Whenever I try sometimes my board lands upside down and other times I end up landing a pop shuvit. idk y tho
Thank you for your advice^^
So clean.
