  • How To Kickflip Higher And Better
    Today we'll be taking a look at a few tips to hopefully get those beginner kickflips a little better. I, by no means, have the best kickflips (they're kind of bad actually) but this video isn't about popping insanely high kickflips, it's about techniques to improve how to perform the trick overall. Hopefully some of these tips work for you if you're looking to step up your kickflips just a bit.
    As always, thank you for watching and I'll see you next time!

    When I first learned kickflips I kept my front foot in the middle of the board and as I got older and more comfortable my foot slowly started moving up towards the nose

    My problem is my kickflips tend to tweak out and the back ends up popping higher than I can jump, either that or they barely get off the ground

    • @PHeMoX
      @PHeMoX 4 роки тому +3

      I guess you figured it out by now, but my guess would be that you're flicking too hard. Maybe even flick down a bit too much near the end of the front foot motion to tweak it. Ease up on the tweak and it should be fine. The other way to compensate is to suck up your back leg into your body in a more sideways position (think ninja kick with two legs pointing forward), but that might feel very unnatural at first.

      Fakie flips for real! I struggle with them. Would you suggest learning kick flip stationary as a step to fake flips? I can kick flip pretty ok while moving, but it falls apart while stationary or fakie.

    • @Leviathanatas
      @Leviathanatas 6 років тому +1

      Matthew Drury practice fakie tricks after you can ride a fakie everywhere all over the place. Try to ride on downhill sidewalks and shit in fakie stance.

    • @wackamole1128
      @wackamole1128 4 роки тому +18

      A bit late, but when you do a heel flip, you wanna have the back foot closer to the heel side, because the board will flip the opposite way, which will make the flip easier. The front foot should be a bit hanging off the toe side, and you wanna flick out. Most people flick up and out, but just flick out at and forward. Lift your back foot up as you pop, then slam it down as it rotates

  • @smoothforreal4242
    @smoothforreal4242 2 роки тому

    i just started gettin consistent with kickflips. a good tip is to think ollie when you pop and just adding the flick. that helps me a lot. and practice ollie and kick flipping over anything, a bottle of water, a stick, whatever. just the fact you have to jump over something gives you better feeling of doing it because you know you have to go over it lol

    • @masonhills3545
      @masonhills3545 5 років тому +11

      For me personally, I think it was a confidence and foot placement thing, because for a long time I could only land one out of every like ten tries, so I barely moved my foot like an inch from where I usually kept it, then I landed it, then I landed another, now I land them pretty consistently, just expirement with foot placement and really commit.

    so this is the best tip i have for good kickflips:
    So instead of trying to flick as fast as possible, i first do my ollie, and when I am in the air (almost at the highest point i flick)
    Since I do that I almost land them ever try

    they are more stylish
