30 years old and just landed my first kickflip today after watching this video. The part where you pointed out the ankle being bent early before the pop was a game changer, never noticed that from any other video. Keep it up bro.
Yeah excellent point actually. I also keep seeing videos that recommend sliding with the side of the front foot, but in reality you bend the ankle and do the flick with the toe. Easier said than done, but at that point the way your knee bends and leg goes up makes a lot more sense that having to pull your front leg heel side off the board diagonally (yes, the kick flip direction, but extending a leg forward is a lot more natural, than curving it backwards whilst flicking off the side of the nose).
I landed a kickflip, then the board slipped underneath me like I always imagined...and then I fell on my butt...kinda hard but...it wasnt that bad. Time to go out and practice again.
@@Zetala without either, Just rolling slowly. And i disagree with the other guy saying learn everything not rolling is the best way or without trainers. My friend has been skating with me for 4 months now and 2 months in, he tried learning shuvits. Could not do it. I bought him trainers last month and he landed it in 3 minutes. Now he can do them rolling. It also taught him how to keep his back foot on the board when he ollies. I guess its more a confidence thing for beginners.
i'd advise anyone trying to kickflip to start trying to land with only your front foot. then your back foot should come easy. sean's tip is pretty close to how i got my kickflips. good luck!
I know what you're saying, but depending on what you do with the back foot, you might 'cheat' the landing by using the back foot way too much, even when basically flicking down or incorrectly for the flip itself. I've wasted quite a lot of time with this until I realized my front foot would have never landed had I not used my back foot on the ground before it even flipped. Often a better idea is to focus on half flips, landing with both feet on the board, board upside down.
I was here 3 days ago and been trying at the kickflips for about 1-2months and Ive been skating for 1.5 years. Your tip on landing the front foot first and also pulling your back foot after popping have been the best tips ive ever gotten. Today I landed my first kickflip :’)
i’ve been trying kickflips for like 2 months only have landed like 4 but still had this issue where i couldn’t get my front foot back on the board this rlly helped me ty
this video is amazing, was struggling landing with any feet, most videos only talk about the front foot so this was really interesting. I’ll try this next time I skate, ik it’ll take me a while but I’m really excited
Thanks man so much I finally landed my kickflip 5 minutes ago and im so happy thank you so much youve helped me alot through skateboarding and you helped with my first kickflip thank you!
Thanks bro for explaining this. I always land with my front foot on many tricks but I can’t tuck that back foot .. (goofy) is gonna land this!! Thanks bro
I can land with my front consistently and couldnt figure out why i cant get my back foot on. Thanks for this vid. I cant wait to try to do what you said.
This helps soooooo much, i have a good flick and stance, and can land with one foot, but I need to bring my knees up to allow me to land on the board!! Thank you sooooo much!!!
@@theduckman8137 I might be late, but the thing that helped me was practicing flicking up and roll your foot out.......... Not your whole leg, just your ankle/foot...........(with your font foot) also practice without actually popping doing that. And make sure your front foot is as close to the board when you flick out so it will be easy to place it back on.
I have been trying to land this kickflip for over a year, nothing is helping like i take everything into consideration but my feet dont stay over the board they immediately go to the ground
A friend of mine can land 6 consecutive kickflips and then he cant land a single one in a week. I guess is just repeating and repeating until you get it
I've been watching your videos for awhile and they are very helpful! I'm still having some trouble with the kickflip, I can flick the board well, have it underneath me and get my front foot on. It's my back leg that I can't get on, for some reason jumping is my problem. I go into it thinking I will jump I don't do you have any tips on getting over this?
Thank you so much for this Sean it was so helpful, I watched the first 5 minutes of it did what you said and after 2 hours of practice I landed my first kickflip!!!
You can but MAINLY do it with your front foot or try the front foot first. Landing with your back foot only too many times can create a bad habit of flicking downwards that may not be easy to come back from. That's how it was for me when I kept landing with my back foot only.
I just cant land the fron foot, i practiced the front foot for an hour and still nothing(tried it while rolling) i have same problems with heel flip. Help?
Im doing everything ok besides my landing. Im landing wirh the board hitting my font foot (meaning everything is good besides my front foot lands under the board.)And help?
TheCrownOfNoah try and just land with your front foot. i started off with my back foot only and that taught me to kick down, which i didn't think i was doing. once you get that, your back foot should come easy. good luck!
Hey Susan. I’m having trouble with my KICKFLIPS and I was wondering how I send you a video. I don’t have Instagram I only have tiktok and UA-cam and social media
I can’t flip the board and land with my front foot on but I can flip and land with the back foot on. What mental thing I’m I missing or physical thing is wrong.
You will probably be flicking down with your front foot so it seems easier to land the full flip even though you are actually further away by doing that
Practise the flick. As you do put your back foot on the ground and get into the habit of leaving your front foot up and out for a long time. Dont practise landing just your back foot too much.
4:48 I’ve tried doing this so many times “try tucking your legs in after you pop and flick” but for me it just dosent work that way. When ever I try to do that the board will either not pop or it won’t flick
Every time I try to kick flip my back foot immediately goes to the ground even if the board lands right under me and I just can't get both on. So front foot lands on and bord lands under me but bacl foot goes strait to ground
Please someone help me I can only land with my back foot on the board but it lands usually up on the board and my front foot lanes before the board and I can’t land, I am having a lot of trouble
My kickflips are so fckd up, I get a perfect flip 7/10 times and am able to keep either the front or the back foot above the board, got ollies/nollies, fs 180 bs 180, bs/fs shuv, fakie big Spin fakie shiv fakie Ollie and almost kickflips. I rly don't know what I can do cuz every time I say to myself ima just jump up I get stuck with somewhat of a Ollie but dragged like a kickflip tf
Here’s the thing... I can kick flip, heel flip, varial and all that stuff on a tramp but can only Ollie, 180 and shov on land coz I can only get my Blackfoot on kick flips
I am having trouble. I feel like my feet always land before the deck. I can rotate it but I feel like after I flick outwards I dont have enough airtime to bring my left foot back on the deck. It lands out away on ground. I try and do it fast and ollie higher but its just a disaster.
for about a year now i have attemptewd kickflips i can get perfect flip my feet just autpmatticly go to the side of ther board my friends are now landing tres and i want to quitr skating i hate it and idky why
Bro I don’t know what it is I cannot even get my back foot to go off the board if I try, it always lands on the board so I can’t hit the front foot only someone help plz
Update: Please send all skate supports to my Instagram now @seanbrown99

How that with the ancle ? I didnt understand

on grass or with skate trainers
cat at a restaurant nah man its alot more beneficial to do it moving

Exactly what happened to me bro
Vape Nation if your really comfortable on your board it doesn’t matter that much
Thanks so much for replying to my video Sean, you're the best. And you pronounced my name right
Awesome!! (:
Please make and send a video after those tips! It will be so cool to see you finally doing it, imo
Una Bomber yeah that would be cool
I'm curious to know how your kickflips are now ? keep it up dude, good work !
Bro your pants tight af
This is exactly what I am battling with, thanks!
Glad to help!
Dude i absoluty love your channel
Hehe (:
After I fell a few times, I realized it didn’t hurt that bad, and I think that really helped me mentally.
That’s my problem tbh

Instructions unclear. Do I put the kids in the trunk before or after I tie my right shoe.
After cause they might try to run and u might slip on your shoelace
Exotic Myst but they won’t be able to run if they are sleeping in the truck
thank you for this
Youre so kind and chill
Just being myself :)
I wish I had this vid when I was learning kickflips

Ive found doing half a kickflip helps committing to landing (landing griptape down)
Practice flicking faster
Thank you so much for this Sean it was so helpful, I watched the first 5 minutes of it did what you said and after 2 hours of practice I landed my first kickflip!!!
That's sick dude!

Practise the flick. As you do put your back foot on the ground and get into the habit of leaving your front foot up and out for a long time. Dont practise landing just your back foot too much.
