    One of my biggest problems with kickflips was not practicing them daily, and getting old and out of shape. When you try re learning them and you run out of breath it becomes a REALLY frustrating trick LOL. However, your tip about weight FORWARD saved me so much. No videos talk about this. All they do is tell you where to flick and put your feet. Much gratitude sean.

  • @matthewwalker5430
    @matthewwalker5430 3 роки тому

    1 thing that really helped me learning to land kick flips is once I switched focusing on the front foot to focusing on the back foot. Its the strangest thing - you can spend hours trying to get the flick of the front foot right, and every time you're either kicking the board away in front of you or having it not flip fully and you're thinking "Why can't I do this?" but once you say to yourself "OK, I know how to flick the board now, let's watch my back foot and make sure it is popping the tail and jumping up & over the board properly" suddenly it all starts making sense. At least it did for me. People teaching kick flips often say things like "its all in the flick of the toe" and that's kind of true, but that also means learners get a little obsessed watching their front foot, meaning your weight distribution is often off and you don't pop hard enough, and it wasn't until someone said "OK, but its just as important to focus on your back foot jumping directly over the board" that it all started to come together. If you've been battling to lands your 1st kick flip and can't stop kicking the board away and stuff, try just staring at your back foot instead, concentrating on stamping down and jumping directly up and over the board with it and just trust your front foot to get the flick done on its own!

    If you guys are struggling to tuck your knees up here’s a trick that helped me out: After you are comfortable tucking your knees up while jumping without your board you can try to get comfortable to tuck your knees up when doing Ollies. This can even increase your Ollie height.
