@@ellisfrost8646 Just sitting in bed and playing with your board with your feet is super underrated. Started scooping tre's and flicking kickflips and I can barely land a moving ollie.
@@jeweerly2319 Idk, it's one of the better ways I found to build to fast twitch muscles in your ankles and calfs. 90% of this shit is just trial and error, but being able to practice the motion and build a foundation even when I'm still learnin to land on my board seems more than useless. Helps w foot placement too cause you'll just dome yourself in the mouth or get upside-down popsicled if you miss catching your board. Idk dog just talkin.
The tip of flicking smth off of your shoe is something I have never heard in any kickflip tutorials. It got my kickflips much more consistent, as I fully rotate the board every time I think of it. This is just brilliant! Thanks!
I commented on your lazy tre video, and explained my frustration around not getting off the ground with my pressure heel flip... Well, I am VERY happy to announce that I landed it today! Just took commitment!! Thanks for the help!
@@ellisfrost8646 Thanks so much! It just took watching your videos, and finally realizing that it was an issue with commitment. I just tried my hardest and landed!
Dude once u told me the whole flicking like ur getting something off ur shoe. I landed a moving kickflip!!!! Granted it was slow but still thank you!!! 🙏🏽
That Pikachu -thing was definitively a game changer for me! It just klicked. Landed my first kickflip little after this video came out and that shoe -thing really helped. So thanks alot!
I am going to try that and it sounds like it is gonna work.......My only goal in life is to be able to pop a kick flip so flicking pikachu off my foot is a great thing.
Instructions were unclear just tried kickflips and landed in a railstand but will admit I landed it very clean so I guess the tips worked as I sort of just stood there landed was wondering why my board was so still looked down and was like oh my boards sideways that's why its not moving so thanks for helping me land something that felt amazing, cool and completely by accident if only someone was around to film it or even see it.
@@ellisfrost8646 I mean, I found that I was putting more of my front foot on the board & putting my toe into that pocket in the tail as I got better & more consistent with kickflips. So, pretty much what you said in the vid, lol Your advice of "flick slower" also lines up with a trick tip Lizard King did ages ago saying to "delay the flick" for better-looking (popped nice & high) kickflips. Like, no lie, this & Dale Decker's trick tips on kickflips are probably some of the best I've found.
Really helpful video, im gonna try the "higher" kickflips now next time im out skating. I spent a whole day re learning them and now i wanna get some swagger on them. What a frustrating trick LOL
i learned how to kickflip in one day because of this video. Biggest problem i had was flicking and pushing the board down, which essentially caught the board halfway. To solve that i imagined kicking someone near the scoop of the board
I’ve been struggling with the rotation on kick flip and after trying the pikachu trick in my first try it works so well that the bored went 180 extra! 😅
Nice video. I have an unrelated question for you. What condition is the vert ramp in? St Neots is the closest vert ramp to me and I'm planning a trip to go there for the first time when lockdown is lifted but don't want a wasted journey if its shi#y.
Ive been in my house for 10 days after rolling my ankle skateboarding snd these videos arent helping.. all i wanna do is skate in the sun!! Ur styles so clean mate, good shit
my main problem with kickflips is that the board somehow flies forward instead of flipping under my legs... the tutorial itself is awesome, I'll definitely try the pikachu flicking technique
This honestly helps but its how u understand the video because he didnt really explain it. You weight down the board when squating low to do the trick you are more balenced . With this, if you are upright you Are less balenced but its easier to do the trick because youre weighing the board down less You are more balanced but it makes it TWICE as hard to jump back UP to kickflip(anytrick tbh) depending how deep u squat
I'm stuck somewhere between double kickflips, and sending the board flying...and definitely the fear thing. Not sure how close I am to 1000 attempts though. Maybe I need to get a Pikachu to flick
I was no joke probably doing at least 500 attempts a day not commuting for abt 4 months everyday. I took a break cus I got burned out, and the fear factor just left me during that break and I came back and just said fuck it (I had docs on, wasn’t even planning on skating hard at all that day) and landed it like third try. And since my flick was already on fleek, the kick flip wasn’t even bad
I have kickflips down but whenever I wanna do a high one or any type now it overflicks and I think that’s coz I ride a small board I’m gonna go up in size shirt key
This is probably because your body needs some rest to buil nerve pathways for your muscles. Basically your body records what muscles you twitched on "succesfuler" attempts. After resting the body builds the needed muscles and pathways, which makes yoyr stronger, more balanced, and more coordinated. This makes you more confident on the board
Wait a minute.... 'effortless' kick flips?! green hairdo? Is he trying to troll us? Hahaha :D Anyway great video as per usual. I think beginners also underestimate how quickly the flick has to be. At first I was just way too slow.
hey i was looking for some help, i've been able to kickflip for a month or 2 now and i've gotten them pretty consistent, the only thing is that they don't look very good. i don't catch them with my back foot it's more i just land with both feet and then hit the ground a split second later, and my flick looks weird. ive had people tell me to flick up and out more but i can't seem to get it right, i flick out pretty good but rather than my foot flying above my board its more the same height (like just beside the board) or a little below it
I can’t land heelflips yet as I always jump forward but can easily get 2.5-3 rotations of the board on an 8.5” if I try, kickflips though, honestly I’ve tried a hundred times but it’s almost like my leg/hip doesn’t bend that way, I’ve tried a load of mobility exercises but it hasn’t really helped. Any tips? Also what was with that kid lying across the spine? 😂
Flick up and jump high I ride goofy natural heelflipper I can land kickflips too but have to jump higher so I don't get shinners. I also jump back a little to kickflip. An if you can't land just focus on 3 things jump flick catch it's all one motion. That's my advice take it or leave it.
@@anthonymckee4092 appreciate it man, landed a couple of double heels with both feet on the tail today, still can’t get singles without over spinning it. Just gotta keep grinding and try be less aggressive I guess
“To learn kickflips try it a thousand times” no truer words have been said
The truth hurts
I’ve probably tried more than a thousand ngl
Not sure. I learnt them in 3 hours
@@DanielMarkMellor who asked
@@DanielMarkMellor land it doesn't mean that you learned how to do it
That last kickflip flipped way more times than I was expecting!
Tried it, ended up spending the day in bed. A little too lazy on my part.

Or the worst hahaha
If you rearrange you’re name it spells EFORTLLISS !!! 🧐
:o Woa that's actually true! no way
how did you come up with this
this probably already a style of skateboarding but this should be a style called "efortliss" and this dude can be the prime example
That dude chillin on the coping 😂
You did a really good job on this video, you identify the common mistakes and you gave some really good tips, nice
Thanks i was actually trying to be serious and teach it haha even though i got very distracted
When your board has a cat in the same exact position.

Instruction unclear, ended up in the underwear section of wall mart

He's living life the way it was meant to be lived

The slomo sound of the landing is so satisfying
The flick actually helped me land heelflips too the flick helps so much
I was watching this from Vanced, then changed to normal UA-cam for watch the ads. He actually deserves every penny :') thx
Pikachu made me go from kickflops to amazing kickflips, 39 yrs old now, better later than never
I tried today, and found this to be the easiest way to kickflip and double kickflip, thank you so much
Hey Ellis Frost! Kool vid! You sure get mega height on those kick flips! Ride ride ride!
lovin the high waters bro. You can get away with anything when you skate like this dude.
Forget Jack Frost here's Ellis Frost. Forget snow and ice here's awesome skateboarding
Hahahahahahahaha good! i hate snow and the cold. Kinda ironic

Hahahaha yea i was surprised it worked that well. I tried doing everything wrong
@@ellisfrost8646 you're just too good. you should try to do a tutorial on how to "bone out" your kickflips if ur able. :)
This was a really good tutorial thx for being in my recommend
That guy in the background just chilling 1:16
Subscribed for 2 reasons:
1 - Good tutorial
2 - Pokemon references
ive been skating for like 3 years solid now and im finally starting to get kickflips more consistent x.x
man doesnt do regular kick flips, man does kick flip norths

I've been able to kickflip a couple times before but I just tried flicking pikachu and landed on my first try... why did that actually work?
hahahaha the flicking Pikachu has already become a thing, well done Mr
That quad flip tho
woah that flip at the end.... thats insane
the skill in his mess ups
“If you’re landing with one foot, you’re scared”
Me: 🥲🥲🥲🥲🤣
He flexxed hard with The last trick
I've landed a couple I'm stoked to try out some of these tips 🙏🏾🙇🏾♂️ Much appreciated
Well done! thank you

Yessss use the Pikachu technique haha good luck
also pullup your back foot. if you want a cheat, hold on to a handicap rail or the tall part of a couch so you don't have to worry about falling.
The scooter kid at 5:15 😂😂
Dude i just discovered you and i love your content! Absolutely amazing vibes!!
0:15 honestly that's all I needed. I can get close on like every 5th try. Just gotta keep trying. Thanks g

It’s alright at the moment it’s skate lite so fun and smooth but some bolts go missing which may make it not so good in the future
@@lewisdowling9430 hopefully it will still be skatable in the summer when I get to visit.
The flick something off your shoe tip was helpful
I’m a goofy foot skater. I’m right handed. I also box/fight on the wrong foot. Heel flips are okay for me. Kick flips took some time.
bro these vids are so helpful fr 🙏🙏🔥
When it panned over and I saw the dude laying I started dying lmao
Big love Ellis my bro keep up the great content 👍
Ohh that’s why Ikeep spinning the board into the side of my leg! I forgot about the poo on the shoe theory!
Not been skating long, but I'm landing a kickflip tomorrow. This video was so useful thanks
Good luck!
@@ellisfrost8646 mission failed haha, can flick it all the way round but not Land on it. Maybe day two will be the day haha
I said "Be like Pikachu". And landed my first kick flip on grass.
Ive been in my house for 10 days after rolling my ankle skateboarding snd these videos arent helping.. all i wanna do is skate in the sun!! Ur styles so clean mate, good shit
waiting for you to drop in on the big vert ramp in the background of the video
Thanks I had lost my kickflips and they sucked during the time I learned tre flip
Can you do the heelflip version
Yea possibly, i need to start making trick tips more often
when it requires all of my effort and energy to do a double kickflip on flat and ellis can just throw a quad hahaha so good
my main problem with kickflips is that the board somehow flies forward instead of flipping under my legs...
the tutorial itself is awesome, I'll definitely try the pikachu flicking technique
Try putting less of your front foot on the board, so less of your foot hits the board as you flick
@@ellisfrost8646 thanks for the tip, I'll try that too
Front foot diagonal and out through the pocket of the board right after the jump following the pop.
This is simultaneously the best and worst kickflip tutorial 😂😂👌
ELLIS FROST IS KING
Bruhhh he flicked pikachu so smooth tho.
Yo any tips to keep myself staight up and down I always turn my shoulders and can’t find a way to fix it
This video was so fun to watch :)
My fix for fear is to get really blooming drunk

The flick helped me so much, i tried it last night and i landed my first kickflip this morning
wow, such a long kickflip
Does board size make a big difference in these, or in the lazy tre? got an 8"5 as a starter, seems big
Do a video teaching your friend till he can kickflip, would love to see the progression
strange sounding half.... awesome lesson!!
It’s kinda look like how Luan Oliveria sets his feet up for kick flips but he just pop higher
Thx for the video. What size do you skate ?
Thanks! 8 in this video
I'm stuck somewhere between double kickflips, and sending the board flying...and definitely the fear thing. Not sure how close I am to 1000 attempts though. Maybe I need to get a Pikachu to flick
jump backside like a frontshuv. i like to think it makes the board easier to flick cause its in front of you

Is it better to learn standing still first or just go straight to rolling?
Whatever you find easiest. I learnt mine standing still

I´ll never not think about pikachu while kickflipping again.. thanks
Mwahahahahhaha good
I learned my first kick flip cuz of this video
I see how you do it. You drag your front foot up to the nose like an ollie, but instead of leveling the foot out you flick it.
i honestly think of over leveling it like a dolphin flip and kicking through🤔
