![KICKFLIP - BASICS & PRACTICE [SKATEBOARDING FLATGROUNDF TUTORIAL]](/img/tr.png)
step 1: land on your board upside down (half rotation)
step 2: call for your mom to watch
step 3: land kickflip next try
W
More like land half rotation a million times, never manage to land a full rotation that day, and then forget how to the next day.
Got it.
step 4: ???
step 5: get stoked
P.S.: It really works thank you George
*Step 2: call George’s mom, she’s clearly good luck for kickflips
one day someone is going to invent a helmet with built in headphones and george's life will be complete

@@memenazi7078 they still gonna fall out while u skate
I'd suggest hippy jumps, they're a lifesaver to learn the motions of landing onto a board for the first time, helps with every trick I know of
Actually, that's a solid A+ idea..
I'd like to add: to jump higher loosen up your upper body and let your arms spreads like wings
i held onto a wall and the second that i landed one with two feet on the tail of the board, i went to flat and landed one in like just a few tries. I literally felt it click in my mind
Landing with one foot on the floor is one of the worst habits in skateboarding. Unfortunately, channels like Braille skateboarding seemed to push that step as an important step in learning, and so so many kids got caught up in bailing every single time. Always try to land your tricks
I got stuck in that cycle and instead of flicking out i was flicking down. Now i can flick out perfectly but the muscle memory of putting my front foot down is screwing me up
I agree! In fact, I think their 'practice step' of doing the flick is wrong too. You can't practice the flick whilst lifting up only one foot. You'll be _wildly_ out of balance, all leaning back on your backfoot, when in reality no kickflip is ever done that way. It's better to jump, pop and flick balanced and deliberately land with two feet next to the board, preferably around the bolts area. Doesn't matter if the board lands upside down or not. If you flick up, you'll land after the board hit the ground and you can go from there. The issue is that the Kyro flick practice movement will teach you to 'extend your leg' when actually it should retract into your body for 75% of the whole movement and it's 60-80% just the ankle doing the flick. Not the entire leg. This threw me off biiiiiiigtime.
@@RioterP5 yeah it’s terrible muscle memory that takes a while to undo. You just gotta be very mindful about your movements and send it. Wear a helmet too
@@PHeMoX Ah man, this is so me. Something NO ONE ever covers is the front leg, from hip to knee ... this determines the movement of the lower and in turn ankle, but there are conflicting tutorials all just talking about ankle, but I have no idea if I'm getting to the point where I flick correctly.
Have tried filming myself, but this confirms it's not quite right, but not how to fix.
If you have ten minutes spare, I'd appreciate some info on this aspect. Also the pressures applied, when I 'flick up off nose' I just launch the board.
@@voidkid420 get very, extremely comfortable with ollies, 180s, shuvs, and riding first. Should feel second nature. From there, the kick flip should feel like a normal progression. You’re taking the slide of the Ollie and combining it with a little flick. It will take a while. Always try to land on the board
bro i ran inside to get my mom after i landed my first one 😂
same bro
dude same
Literally just did this with bs 180s 😂
This is exactly what I needed right now
Edit: hey George how exactly do you rotate half way on purpose? 😅
dont flick it hard so it will not flip completely
Lol
OMG I’ve been just now stuck on the kick flip and this helped soooooooo much. Thank You, get well and stay safe.
This tip rlly helped me it made me land my first ever kickflip
Guys, getting comfortable with riding really is fucking essential, even though im still learning kickflips, its easier to commit while moving, as its not as dangerous
Thx George u da man
Just landed one yesterday because of your video! Landing half way really helped my mental battle.
I felt that part when he said he called his mom to watch him Land the trick ....swear to god moms just give you the power to want to nail the trick more...😭😭
Legendary skateboarder. George
you inspired me to wear a helmet
That seems like the most sketchy way to learn a kickflip, props to you though man!
It's kind of not though. Because if you land with both feet on the upside down board, it means your flick goes out and up, instead of down. At that point all you really have to do is flick more with a twist of your ankle and perhaps a bit faster.
i did this when learning them and it helped :)
That's how i started committing to them too. I finally tried putting both feet on it but because of being scared to do the full flick, i only half flicked it but did end up putting both feet on. So i landed on the graphic and realized there's nothing to be worried about and then i started sticking full kickflips when i started flicking harder.
Holy shit a good skateboarding tip from tiktok? Never seen that before
Wholesome content
Thanks George! I am Working On It!
Nice tip. Gonna try it!
Dude your a fuckin legend funny af
I can’t even land it upside down I always get the full rotation
Remember this from that how to Ollie shuvit and kickflip vid
im not afraid to land with both feet, i just cant get them coordinated to the right spot in time
You can also try doing a flipping caveman to get a feel of how to land when the boardflips.
DAMN I miss skating bends Park. Wish my homies well!
needed this to land my front foot on the board :)
i wanna skate with you one day man
THANK YOUUUU
This is realy helpfull
I'm recently trying to land my first kick flip and I can only land with one foot on bolts... I'mma try this I hope I land it
MOOOOOOM
GET THE CAMERAAAAAA
is ponderosa park your home park?
This helps a lot
I landed my first clean kickflip today (no toe hang off, hands on the ground, falling right after) 😁😁
I am not scared to land both I just can’t do it I kinda gave up:/
How do you make it upside down every time I try it does a hull rotation
respect for atlas playing in the background
Start doing a heel flip you'll feel more comfortable bringing your foot back. Then go to a kickflip. Or take your trucks and wheels off and practice with it flat on the ground or on a trampoline.
Helps with switch
This was filmed at my local
Every time I land my left foot is far away from the board after flipping so I can’t move on the board in time
I remember using this tip almost a year ago
my fear is mostly landing primo or over the wheels and sprain my ankle again
Thx almost got it
You should do a heelflip one
i´m not afraid of slipping out, but im afraid of rolling my ankle.
i broke my ankle 2 months ago while learning to kickflip because i landed with my backfoot straigt halfway on the board like 4 times.i kinda have my shoulders open bc its hard for me to do the flick when they´re parrallel to the board.
Now im just doing 180s and shuvits but i wanna get back to Kickflips.
Try getting high top shoes they really protect your ankles
This tip helps with heelflips too
This happened to me! I accidentally landed on it upside down and something just clicked. I landed it right after
respect for wearing a helmet
Can I do this with Tre flips
Me who gave up with the kickflip and went to the varial flip and landed it after 2 days👍
how is your foot?
To this day i cant kickflip, i learned heelflip and treflip first so thats my go to. I just cant flick it that way
My method to land my first was to drive down to Braille at 1am, put in 10 solid consecutive hours of tries, walk away a failure, heal up and go back the next week to have the thrill of a lifetime (and then i called my mom and texted her the slo-mo;). I'm sure that's the easiest way.
i can land one, but my backfoot hits the tail way too hard, and i land with the nose in the air. ive hard people watch me and they say im not leaning at all. anyone have any advice?
I am having the same problem since a half year and i can‘t land the Kickflip with 2 Feet, beacause my front feed is getting to fast on the ground. On a half rotation i am having the same problem 😩. Can someone please help me.
Wait are you in the bend Oregon skate park. I live there
Can you do one on how to do a Ollie because I can’t do one (or just tell me in the comments )
Very true
it's not out of fear that i can't it's because my foot just goes back automatically
I know I’m late but Happy National Kickflip day
I really need to ask this soo how thick is your skateboard supposed to be like when you turn your skateboard to the side and stand on the really thin part of it like how thick is that supposed to be pleaseee answer
It should always be 7 ply maple wood unless you have a bad skateboard
I did my first kickflip today cuz of you
I live in a town that has no skatepark or skate spots so our town got 25k and has to spend it on a community decided build. My mom suggested a skatepark and some people agreed. ( Note: this is a small town in NY) We are writing flyers and are putting it around town. So people can sign our petition. I don’t know why I wrote this i just wanted to say it because why not. If anyone can help with feedback It will be gladly appreciated
I can’t land it at all like if I do land it with one foot the board doesn’t flick well
Thx
Jokes on you, I’m still learning how to ollie
I just landed primo a lot and just landed it
Ya it helps
how can i do this when i can barely flick 💀
My mom was drunk when I started skateboarding she probably to this day still doesn’t know I skated for 14 years and was an absolute beast. She’s probably still drunk right now.
Smart!
I don’t know if anyone can help me with this problem but whenever I try to land a kick flip it doesn’t do the full rotation. I always land on the graphic of the board not on the tape, and I don’t know how I could train my ankle to flip it faster.
You dont have to workout your ankle. Its about technieque and maybe your shoes arent very easy to flip the board. U need a shoe that gives you good feeling of the board, as if you where barefoot on the board almost. Simpel Vans of the wall where good for me
My good sir wearing a helmet. Painting a good image for the youngyins that you don’t need to not wear a helmet to be Chris breezy.
Me after watching the video: welp I guess I’m try it real quick. Walks outside and land it first try😭…we’ll shit! Alright.
My first kickflip was a mistake, I was trying to do a ollie and the board just flipped and I landed it.
my mom was watching and she started screaming lol
Another episode of: Things that never happened
I THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH I JUST DID THIS FOF 3 HOURS AND ALREADY LANDED 6 KICKFLIPS TODAY IM BEING FR THANK U but my family didnt even care abt it but ye.
Bro i didn't understand correctly and accidentaly i revived jhon lennon pls help me bro
The easiest way to start learning is on carpet, then on concrete.
Step one, actually being able to flip it half way over
thanks I actually landed it
I'm not scared it's just I can't ever land I have the movement but it just doesn't work
I've been practicing for 2 years
You wear a helmet practicing kickflips?
This works with Heelflips too, right?
Yeah, I learned heelflips first and I did this
my problem isnt committing, its performing it
