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
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.
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.
God i hate this trick. So difficult to master. Theres some days ill try it 30 times and get 3 good ones and the more tired you get the harder it is to keep the technique good lol. Thank you for the video!!
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.
Can we take a moment to appreciate that this man had to learn how to do the trick the wrong way so he can show us that its wrong, once a trick is fluent you can forget how to do it wrong
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
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
Could you bring back some more trick resolutions? I remember way back that is what I subbed for. Really simple and fun to watch you battle the trick. Don’t get me wrong, I like the tips and stuff. But do you have any more tricks left to do some resolution vids??
hey man, yeah for sure! i actually have a few that are pretty cool that i've gotten really close to landing clean. i just haven't put in enough work. but i was thinking about this the other day and i'm definitely going to go out and try to get some
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
I keep double and triple kickfliping(and dont land then) but i only want to single them how can I do it so I dont flick and make the board spin so fast
This video is 2 years old but I disagree the foot placement affect height. It just makes it easier to flip. Delaying the flick after you pop the board makes you flip higher in my experience.
I do this, a lot... I think fixing that is a matter of getting used to jumping higher and tucking your legs under you. I could be wrong, totally wrong, but that's what Im trying to do
Tbh if you have problems with landing tricks and weight distribution you should learn how to do some basic transitions like drop ins, rolling fakie off a ramp etc. That’s how I got my 180s down and also made me do kickflips higher and while going faster. The same day I learned to 5050 a coping is the same day I landed a clean tre flip so yeah, go learn transitions if you haven’t already, it helps a shit ton with board control.
heyimchris Nice, I recently switched boards from 8.** something to 8 so I’ve lost an inch and it’s throwing me off a bit 🙈 but I also ghost kickflip a lot on accident which makes them kind of shit
Straight up best kick flip tutorial I've ever seen
i love matt
I landed my first kickflip last night and over indulged myself with brownies.
Hi , can you still do them?
cool
Nice 👍
Its been a year now what ur progress?
I can do kickflips but not high
I’ve needed this ever since I started to actually do proper kickflips. Thank you for the detailed explanations in every video!!! ✌🏼
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
Amazing video I needed this now that I’m trying frontside flips and my kick flips are still not poppy this helped a lot
Man you're awesome! Best videos on youtube. I'm very dedicated, and you give me more motivation with every video I watch.
Do heelflip!!! And do fakie flip tricks as well!
Jaime 04 yes

Nice
Landed my first kickflip yesterday and I’ve almost got it already!
nice ! i landed my first 2 days ago, took me 1 month and 5 days i can do it 2/5 times !
@@exolt good job!
Good info, thanks for posting all of these, even though I am not to this point yet it will be helpful later.
you ever get to this point?
Good job dude, always killing it!
I just learned to kick flip yesterday and now it’s all I wanna do😃
what about now?
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

Can you do one for heelflips?

@@wackamole1128 a bit late bruh 2 years I think he can do a good heel flip now

@@frostey_chc7590 he acknowledged that dumbass
I have my heelflips about 1 1/2 ft high, I just put my feet like Neen Williams
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

Who's the skater that busted that high ass kickflip over that tennis net in the beginning?
Adrian Garcia i wanna know that too yo
Wow! Just realised I was trying to do heelflips when I was meant to practice kickflips no wonder my "kickflips" weren't spinning enough 😂

Every question I had has been answered thank you for this vid
Could you bring back some more trick resolutions? I remember way back that is what I subbed for. Really simple and fun to watch you battle the trick. Don’t get me wrong, I like the tips and stuff. But do you have any more tricks left to do some resolution vids??

I can not get enough of kickflip tutorials. My kickflips suck :-P

bruuh this guy is best 🤩🤩
Really useful thanks
Am I the only one who’s muscle memory doesn’t work for kickflips? it’s been months and I can only land em 2/5 times smh
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.
Mason Hills I think you’re right I’ve been landing mine consistently since I’ve moved my front foot a lil forward
Take alot of time homie, i cant express the mental and physical pain i went through to just be able to land a kickflip
I understand now thanks VL
I needed this
This video helped me alot thank so much
it is really helpful , thanks !
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
wouldn’t that be a late flip
@@dav_1d607 no
Another great tutorial!
Thank you you are my favorite skater
Killer tutorial
vlskate needs more views ples
The first flip trick I learned was a varial flip it’s like I went backwards when I started skating
your shoulders that is good tutorial!
Idk why but I randomly lost my kickflips entirely this month, maybe this will help
i landed my first kickflip yesterday and i already want them better lmao
Nice video 😊😂😂😊😂😊😘
Kickflips are my best trick on flat rn
I really need to work on my kickflips. I can land them consistently but they look so bad!
I landed my first kickflip
I can kickflip the thing I want is a good flick that kicks out
Descriptive
That’s right straight from esco !
I keep double and triple kickfliping(and dont land then) but i only want to single them how can I do it so I dont flick and make the board spin so fast
if you are still struggling try moving your foot higher up on your board (more toward the bolts)
I cant even kickflip
Ali Rind me neither i did it once but.. 🤷♂️
Bro i like your videos! , but i don't know if you can help me, i' ve got shove it and both 180's on foot but can't land them quile moving, any tip?:(
Nicolas Nazal bring your shoulders and arms around with the board and get more used to riding fakie
akajeffchang ok thank you bro, but i can't even ride in fakie is it normal?
I can Ollie well and over stuff but my kickflips are doodoo and barely get like a half a foot off the ground but it's not rocketed
see i can pop floater ollies... but my kick flips are sad. hope this video helps me
Pu skateboard wheel r ok for stunts?
Good job
What is the name of the person doing high kickflip in black and white video?
This video is 2 years old but I disagree the foot placement affect height. It just makes it easier to flip. Delaying the flick after you pop the board makes you flip higher in my experience.
I spent time learning how to catch with my back foot before I even started landing them so don't think it's not an option
You rock
where do u skate at cuz ur skating this place like in almost every video
I think it's just near his home 😁
I can Ollie very well up and down things but I cannot get my kickflips off the ground
I was just trying to do a kickflip today
Nice
The thing is I can get the board high but for some reason I land before my board dose
I do this, a lot... I think fixing that is a matter of getting used to jumping higher and tucking your legs under you. I could be wrong, totally wrong, but that's what Im trying to do
How was that one you said was switch, switch? your standing in the same position the whole video
Gilbert Crockett has the biggest kickflips I have ever seen.
I can never land my kickflip because my backfoot never lands on the board. Do u have any tips to help with this problem.
n807 Gaming all about board control usually i put my big toe on the edge for pop and control practice with one foot first and practice
I JUST LANDED MY FIRST SHUVIT! And I started yesterday
DJ Lime congratulations and keep progressing!!
Taqwamuhammad thank you, I keep trying
Cryptic Hex what do you have now fam?
No way
Cryptic Hex what now
I can do the varial one but not the normal one help
You are too underrated tbh...
Braille can't match the effort of explaining that you put in your videos
@VLSkate why my board do a dolphin flip?
Not flicking off the board
Aim for where the board changes shape
What happened to your new video?
The way to kickflip higher is to have strong and flexible legs.
I can’t put my front foot on the Board after I flicked
Do you push goofy or regular or switch @VLskate
cool
I have a perfect high boned OLLIE but my kickflip isn't close to my OLLIE 😭
I’m not able to land on the skate
I just keep complaining that the roads in Tucson are bad.
I landed my kick flip but I almost broke my arm🤣🤣
how do I start skating
*me likes be before watching the video*
I can only kick flip on carpet and soft spots ... I need HELP!!!
Just comit
I can level my kikflips just can't get them really high
I’m can kickflip pretty well but I want to be able to pop kickflips as high as my ollies
you look like you are about to do a front side flip stance
Can do double dolphins but my kickflips are still terrible
samuel reed I can do backside flips and fakie frontside flip and my kickflips go behind me:/
I can kick flip every try but they look so bad help
What if you can only get your back foot.
You're leaning too far forward. Try to focus on keeping your shoulders centered and not leaning to far in any particular direction
Varian Manek Alright thank you
Tbh if you have problems with landing tricks and weight distribution you should learn how to do some basic transitions like drop ins, rolling fakie off a ramp etc. That’s how I got my 180s down and also made me do kickflips higher and while going faster.

i cant do standing still kick flips no more
I can only catch the board with my back foot
I wish I could kickflip I can only do it on grass rn :(
what about now
heyimchris I got them up curbs and stuff like that now, for every kickflip I land I’ll also fail, so I’m trying to make them consistent
Thomas Buchanan damn you actually replied it took me 3 months to learn kickflip and i land about 8/10 tries
heyimchris Nice, I recently switched boards from 8.** something to 8 so I’ve lost an inch and it’s throwing me off a bit 🙈 but I also ghost kickflip a lot on accident which makes them kind of shit
Wat happen with the video that u just posted more fun trick i try to see and i cant and is not on ur channel
I can flick the board but cannot land ): help
lift that back leg up high when you pop
