HOW I LEARNED HOW TO KICKFLIP!

- The Purpose of Braille Skateboarding is to grow the number of people who skateboard by teaching, motivating, and inspiring. We do this by making skateboard tutorial videos covering every how to skateboard video under the sun moon and stars. By learning ourselves and showing that no matter how old or young you can learn to skate. Part of this is also providing a suggested path to take in learning to skate. Then we inspire NEW people to learn to skate by making videos outside the very small world of skateboarding. We turn an ipad into a skateboard, skate on a big screen TV, and even a door. We focus not only on the creativity here but building the board and then all the way through to seeing what tricks can be done on it. Skaters have always been a creative bunch of people they take the normal ideas of society and change it to create their own world. Most people see a set of stairs we see a kick flip going down them. Our goal here is to take people that may never have thought of skateboarding before and get them on a board.
Brands can email kylie@brailleskateboarding.com for media inquiries.
I have created many ways to achieve the above goal and will list them all below. Different ways for different people so have a look through and see what fits you best.
“You Make it We Skate it” - our most popular series enjoyed bo skaters and non skaters alike - • YOU MAKE IT WE SKATE IT
“Skate anything” - our series where we search out what we can possibly make skate able - • SKATE ANYTHING
Skate board tutorials - learn for free and on your own on UA-cam - • LEARN TO SKATEBOARD VI...
“Worst Board at the Park” - we find the worst board and replace it with a new one for tricks. Its all love supporting the community - • WORST BOARD AT THE PARK
Skate support - need help with that trick well watch the video here and send in your clip. We will do our best to make the video quickly but we have a lot of submissions. The end result gets posted on @Brailleskate Instagram - www.brailleska...
“Skateboarding Made Simple” - instead of UA-cam tutorials where you can get lost here is a guided lesson plan to take you through the basics and beyond. Instant digital download and get started - www.brailleska...
Skateboard coaching - this is a totally new idea in the world of skateboarding. Get a list of tricks to learn in and submit your clips to a skateboard coach who walks you through how to land them. This is done through direct text messages and video sharing. The best way to guarantee success on your board as you have a person there to help, guide, and motivate you. This service is called “Braille Army Plus” and is a membership with a lot of benefits - www.brailleska...

1:35 the best post-skate dance i've ever seen
+JuanjoMonserrat Yes
+Steezo oh shit waddup
yo i need that gif'd ASAP
Gave it 420 likes nobody else like
Can we just learn the basics to the Lance Dance? Step by step. Who's with me? I'd commit to it.
+AreDee he showed how to do the lance dance in a video before, idr what the vid name was but i do remember it was a game of skate lance vs one of the girls.
Same lol that boy has moves damn
+Madgod Rando I want a full video of just about the lance dance. Full tutorial. Step by step BrailleSkatboarding Style. Put it on the dvd too or iTunes.
+RonnieJacob Harris he got moves for days! No doubt.
+VA Gametech yea, with those moves. I'm pretty damn sure he was professional at some point. Or heck. He probably still is. He just doesn't talk about it. He lets his moves speak for him self.
Honestly I think the reason this channel is so successful is because you are so down to earth and honest as well as vulnerable. You aren't "acting". Which makes it very refreshing and relaxing to watch.
I'm a beginner at skateboarding. I've got my pop shoves and ollies down. I have been searching for tutorials all day and have been getting so so so so so SO frustrated with the kickflip. I found this video to be most helpful out of every one I've came across. I still haven't even landed one but I know I'm getting closer. I really appreciate lance and it's nice to know there's someone else that struggles as much as me on kickflips. And I understand there's plenty of kids like me, but it's so nice to get actual good advice from someone who is struggling like me (even though I know you've already got the hang of kickflips.) I just wanted to say thank you so much braille especially Lance for being such a relatable skater I know I can land one, and when I get frusterated I will keep referring to this video. Thanks again guys.
Yes Bruv, thanks for the tips man! Landed my first EVER kickflip after 3 days of skating for the first time, after taking a 11 yr break!
This was great. I always find it extremely helpful to hear what someone that just learned a trick figured out to get it to work. Aaron is great at explaining the trick but he has been doing everything perfect for so long that maybe some of the weird things beginners think how a trick is done don't occur to him to mention. Would love to see more videos like this as Lance progresses through skateboarding.
I feel like if I spent a day with Aaron I can learn any trick with him
Same
Yea me too
yep same here
jan Portillo same he’s a perfect trainer
Ikr I feel like if I have someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong it will help alllott
This has honestly been the most helpful video about kickflips. I’m so much more consistent after watching this now that I’m focusing on kicking forward (through the deck), keeping my weight centered above the board, and finally focusing on my back foot. The comments by Chris Chann shouldn’t be overlooked, too. You’re gonna have to balance focusing on each of these until you can do them all together. You’re not gonna be able to pop perfectly when you’re focusing on the flick. You’re not gonna be able to focus on your back foot when you’re focusing on keeping your weight above the board. Seriously, this has been SO helpful. Thank you, Lance, et al!!!
I waiting for the day that someone does a trick and falls into that bowl😂😂😂
I'm**
TRUE LOL😂😂
Lyzza66 best coment ever
HAHAHAHAH i was soooo gonna say that😂😂
That bowl is gnarly
"It's probably best to learn it with some speed" instructions unclear, all amphetamine is gone.
I got more for you bro
that could actually be useful too
I remember when i started skating 10-11 years ago ( i was like 16), we were at the local skatepark and it was already late and getting dark. My brother, a friend and i still tried Kickflips after months. Then a van drove to the park and 4 tall guys got out the car and we were like "wtf what do these guys want from us, lets leave!"
But it turned out they were skaters and did a tour. Nice guys.
We told them that we cant do a kickflip, the front foot always lands next to the board.
They gave us one advice, pull your front foot back and force it to do it. Its all in your head. When you got it down one time your foot will never do that again.
Simon B. Story Time! LOL
Simon B. I cant flip my board any tips
After watching so many experience skateboarders go through tutorials I think this will be most useful because you are explaining the counters to all the struggles I’ve been having.
Damn lance can actually dance good
The Lance Dance XD
+Kilian F-R *well
he dances like a squid. no offense lance. squids are cool
Thx guys
Jk I was surprised when his name was Lance
This is the best video I've watched for fixing my kick-flip. I've watched all 3 of Aaron's videos but this video explains how to fix problems you might be encountering. Thank you.
3:46 rejected high five into head rub😂😂
I watched it in Slow-mo. It’s hilarious 😂😂😂
Poor fella..
Poor kid wasn't committed. He will never land a high 5 if he doesn't commit.
It's so helpful getting tips from a beginner because you can get advice from someone who's still learning like I am. It's a different point of view and it really helped me.
The guy on the left being rejected😂 I feel you mate (at 3:47)
Nah, he was just scratching his head.
Veronica Vadmand 3:46
5 years since I skated last until today I bought everything I needed for a complete I set it up and skated at the new local park, I forgot how much fun it was! I'm Thankful i stumbled across this channel thank you dudes at braille you dudes are awesome and I'm 25 now and I had a great time plus I still can get tre flip bolts :)
Here's one quick tip some of you guys may find useful. If you're constantly flipping the board only halfway, not getting full rotation.
Start with your toes toward the edge of the board as you try. I know the trick tip videos say to keep your toes behind the 2 hardware screws, but for me. I kept it towards the edge. That way you can flip it very easy, almost rotating too much.
The trick is to keep inching your toes closer to the center of the board(behind the hardware), to find that sweet spot where it rotates just enough, not too much or not those half flips/rotations. Then from there it's just about landing it.
K
thanks
thx for the tip it helped me make alot of progress
Whoa I remember how I used to put my toes when I first started
Thanks for the tip ! :)
There are so many good skateboarders out there, but none provide me inspiration like Lance, true underdog story that gives me so much hope to be able to become good at skateboarding.
fantastic video. being fully transparent about how difficult you found something at first, or how difficult you still can find something, is key to being a great teacher who inspires others to persevere.
Hey lance, I was struggling with my kick flips. When I watched this video it really helped me out a lot. I was doing the same exact thing as you, the rocket kick flip. I went back outside and I kept saying to myself I know I can land it now. My first try I landed it perfect. No sketchiness. Pure kick flip. I really appreciate you guys making these kinds of videos. And again thanks lance for the skating tips.
FIIRRRRSSSTTT TRROOOIIIIIYYY

+Kevin Alejandre K
+batchee boy lol

after about 12.000 kickflip advice videos i have watched on youtube, finally someone gave me the advice i needed. Thx a ton man!
I just ordered my first board today, coming Monady. Inspired to learn from you guys, can't wait to start failing an ollie. :D
First ride.
CruxG.O.D Yeah, I had a board years ago and used it to ride around my town a lot. There was no park near me though and I only went to one in another town a few times. I used to ride it a lot, did an ollie here and there. I'm going to have to learn all over again though :D
+The Tech Dweller six months ago I was in the same situation. It was 10 years ago since I last skated. Now I can do all of the basic 8 Braille tricks. I can even ollie some gaps and stairs. Best decision I ever made, I enjoy it so much. Even bought a cruiser board to ride to work since the roads are quite rough around here. Enjoy getting back into it man!
what set up you got man?
+47Tunes I have a 7.75 Zero 3 skulls deck with Independent Stage 11 trucks, 52mm Spitfire Ferguson wheels and Bones reds.
When he dance after land the kickflip i smile and bro i feel you the vibration of excitement and happiness in the body can't hide keep going 🤙
4:06 buddy just throws his board
Dude the support of peers in the community is awesome.
Is skateboarding something I can pick up at the old ass age of 26?
It's for any age , it's just commitment man :)
+William Decoteau Haha, I'm 26 so I think so :)
Thanks guys!
+William Decoteau I just picked up a longboard at 27...
me 36, so no worry dude
You guys are inspiring me to want to skate again. I am a larger guy, but if you watched that video of the 330lb dude skate, I think it's more than doable. Anything is. Even you learning your kick flips. You guys have been awesome and I've been watching your vids each day. I'm definitely going to watch your skateboarding made simple vid soon as well and get back into this. You guys are all awesome and keep up the great work!

How To Lance Dance | The Easiest Way
thanks lance...your the reason I bought a board...just started back and I'm having a great time riding...thanks for all your hard work.
5:33 wait was he even popping the board? 😂
Nope
No Pop Kickflip... interesting
He actually pop, but you can’t see it
No, so that just goes to show that you don't even need to pop the board to land a kickflip.
This is what brought me to Brialle Channel in the first place. Someone in the midst of learning has much better insight than a doucey pro trying to be cool. Great job Lance!
wouldn't it be hilarious if lance flowed for avenue
Lance, thanks for doing this video, great idea. I have been trying for about 4 months to learn to a kickflip and I am having the same problems you had, watching your journey through this video and has made me aware of my errors!
Never thought lance would be the one teaching people kickflips
its cool getting tips from someone who just recently learned it and can remark on the mistakes made and how they were overcome!!!!
Lance, pls make the same tutorial for ollies! I really liked this video. Do all the basic tricks with their unique secrets.
You're a good teacher! :)
Keep skating bruh
THIIIIIIIS these small tips about what to think while setting up and weight balance are soooo much more helpful than watching someone work through the trick.
That was more helpfull than the SMS video
Bro, that anti "rocket" thing was exactly what I needed but no other tutorial tells you that.
best kickflip tutorial ever. today i‘ll land it. i can feel it. thx bro
did you land it?
Lance I'm waiting for my suspension trucks to come in the mail!!!!
+Robert Sweatt awesome!
+Braille Skateboarding you guys made me start skating just learned kickflips too thank you very much
+Braille Skateboarding can i have a skateboard?
+Braille Skateboarding can i get a skateboard? Pls.
+Jaym Cunanan go cut people's lawns for $10 a house than you can get a board or sell your Xbox or ps4 or recycle cans or sell lemonade
that was really really really helpful for me! i make a lot of the same shit as you did. sometimes its better that a guy teaches, who went through all the mistakes, than a pro who forgot long ago what were the difficulties.
pls more of that and greetings from germany
If you are reading this, then you are beautiful and loved by those around you. Have a great day!
thanks mate
have a great day 😊
what if the person who reads this is a pedophile and kills people por fun, is he still beautiful and loved by those around him?
Gay
Yes, because you read it
Thank uuuuuuuu
Wow lance your advice actually helped quite a bit. I made more progress today than I ever have with my kickflips. The "Flick through the board, and sort of jump forward" is a way better visual for me than "flicking upward like most people say". I was able to flick the board solid and stay above it, i'm still just super sketch to committing I'll usually only land with one foot. I'll get it though!
OMG I JUST LAND A KICKFLIP, THIS VIDEO REALLY HELPS, THANK YOU !
Thank you soo much. I was rocket kickfliping all day and I didn't know what I was doing until I watched this video. I went back outside and after the first attempts I was already seeing progress. I landed it my 20ish try but it wasn't to great. Thank you again.
Where did you learn the Lance Dance?
I just ordered a skateboard online because of this channel, been watching for months!
Who is here in 2019 and miss Lance?
2021
I'm 26 and haven't touched a board in nearly 10 years. Just got a new board the other day and watching Lance makes me feel a little less lame about starting over so old. Hahaha
So Lance basically invented "Fortnite dances"???
D Dalén now he can sue them
Hey guys, i just wanted to tell you.. i started watching ALOT of your videos, and a couple of other skate tubers aswell while i was working nightshifts, and i actually bought my first (really crappy) skateboard yesterday and... I took it step by step with my little brother aswell and, it went really well! All of your how to, what to think about it made it so much easier, i nailed (a very low) ollie today, my second day of skating.. it was awesome! Keep it up, love from Sweden. :)
its like both of his hands are holding change whenever he does tricks
#keepthemhandsdown
Mod Bacon i do that aswell
I saw that 😂 i keep my hands open bc it helps you relax a bit
Best kickflip tutorial ever. Viva Lance!
6:40 That tip helped me out
Go in the board
Same
Please do more of these!
I have been struggling with kickflip for a while now and got'n a few bruises. I went outside after watching this and managed to land my first kickflip after 5min.
5:33 did he kick flip without popping?
After watching this video I went skateboarding at our indoor skatepark and I landed my first ever kick flip! I have been skating for 4 years I can heelflip fine, but could never kick flip and I just never improved at flat ground. thanks for all you help!!!
One day someone will accidentally fall into that bowl...
This is the most helpful skate support on kickflips that I have watched yet
damn lance can dance... we need a braille running man challenge
K
k
ketamine
no we don't. that shit is dumb af
damn kid cudnt even say a k word
This is great! Basically he's saying: Aaron couldn't teach me to kickflip, I figured it out myself.
You should do a 3 truck game of skate
Why not 4?
+Justin Relph they already did 4 truck
smolpinetree i thought that was two trucks on the top and four on the bottom?
You predicted the future
From good student to excellent teacher. Thanks for tips Lance!
lance can plz u mak an entire vid of u dancing
Happy to have come across this. Something just clicked and now I can get em way easier. Thank you Mr Skategod Silber.

lance live skate support on treflips
i started skating today, since i broke my arm, (did the game skate for the first time in 12 years) but i started today and did all rhe tricks i was good at, but with broilles tips and tricks, and damn, i landen my first heelflip in Years.... thsmk your soooo much for them tips your are providing with.
Plz plz plz do how you learned heelflips
i have that on my channle if u wanna check it out
Just practice practice practice, try different stances etc. you will learn it in a couple of days
Do it exactly like an ollie but with your flip foot toes tipped down
when im heelflipping it helps me to imagine that im kicking the tip of the board away kinda
+FAIL CLAN HARRIS No one access your channel. Why do you have it ?
Thanks Braille for helping me get into skateboarding again. I really enjoy it 😁
guys there was a riot at my school today
lucky
+Hulk Brogan i had to run from the police
Damn son
I wanna hear more :D
+Eric Poon a fire broke out in school they evacuated us to the football field held us there for hours students got tired and pushed through cops and administrators
Lance this was amazing!! it literally went over everything i was doing wrong. Since i've watched i still can't nail it, but i'm much more confident with each attempt at kickflip. Thank you!!
the fists.
K
+Jadiel Gonzalez why are you saying "K" on every comment? o-o
Style
😂😂😂😂
so stoked about you getting back to skating and comitting so hard
5:18 , power kick flip? Lol
Thank you Lance! This video helped me so much. :) After hearing your tip on flicking the toe more into the board rather than up, I was able to completely fix my kickflip on my 2nd try! Thanks again, and keep it up.
I think a kickflip is waay easier than a heelflip
I agree
For me heelflips are way easier I can barely flick for kickflip
+ArcaneGamer When i try to heelflip the board always goes behind me or doesn't flip enough. The way you flick the heelflip just feels very awkward for me
Peety "P.T" keep your body weight very very center or even lean back slightly. Then tell yourself in "pop, flick catch." Had the same problem and fixed it today
By far the best kickflip tutorial on the internet.
Remember kids
if Lance can do it, you can do it.
I love how positive you are in this video. You just earned yourself a subscriber :)
Why do you close your hands ? Are you scared or what ?
+Leo 272 nah
LesterAcdag Are you the Lester from the Beakman's World ?
+LesterAcdag hahahaha you got so butthurt
+LesterAcdag Is that from a dunkey video?
lmao
Basically if You close your hands while doing a trick, You have more stability in your Body ... Thats what i experienced :) i think it helps staying over the board
yes. more videos like this please. preferably on the heel flip. this helped me so much
who else can kickflip but watches this video? :D
not me
yep
I watched it so I can better help the younger skaters at my local park learn how to kickflip.
me
me
Thanks man. I am an adult learning how to skateboard and your video helped a lot. I'll start trying to kickflip ASAP.
its good to have advice from someone who just got over those problems
Legit one of the most helpful videos for kickflips thanks bros
man i had no idea you guys were from the bay area. im like 30 min south. it would be sick to watch you guys film or something. im 25 and havent skated in probably 10+ years you guys and kotr got me back on a board so thank you sirs
Lance you're very helpfull man! I'm struggle for past two weeks to land a kickflip. been watched lot of tutorial but still didn't get to land it. but after I watch this I'm go outside and I land my first kickflip in my live haha. just kick out, weight stay on the board, suck back leg as high as I can. you rock!
Just got my first board in 3 years cause of u guys. I'm taking this advice and going outside right now
Lance thank you so much for the video i just landed my first kick flip because of you
Ninjalifestyle has one of the best kicklip tutorials I've ever seen. I learned how to kickflip and heelflip whilst holding onto a hand rail to a portable school building.
I don't have a tip for kickflips, but I do for heelflips. My tip is flick in the same direction your body is facing, but still with your foot arched towards the nose of the board. This tip has helped me and many other skaters so do take seriously, thank you.
What I found out by myself is to think about where the board will go when I do a trick. I have to jump as perfect as I can to that point to get my balance point to the center of the board. And another tipp from me is to think on every trick, where the board spins around, the center of the spin should be in the exact middle of the board. Keep this two tips in mind and keep your balance perfectly over the boards middle. Somehow almost every trick got much easier (might not work if you want to land in manual or pivot).
However, I still suck at landing tricks because I am feared of the board slipping away like so many times before when I got brave and didn't expect to land with both feet on the board.
Love it, i never skate, but that skill development is nice to see
So i came here to thank you and say you help me a lot! i Really landed not only a kickflip but also a heelflip that i was forgot how to do. TY
"thanks to the master, AK-47"
Nice one, A+ Lance
On another note, we're all proud of you- keep learning! Your skate supports specifically have really been helping me realize I can do it too, and now kickflips are beautiful and effortless! Try a front foot late flip!
