You clearly dont understand what the dude commented. Next time read it better before commenting. He means the video was so good that it taught him how to kickflip so amazingly that his board snapped
Awesome tips, thanks. With the help of your videos (and the ones from NSI), I finally landed my first kickflip today. I'm delighted, and might actually cry after crossing this item from my bucket-list. "Landing a kickflip" has been on my list for 20 years. Cheers
I'm not sleeping until I can kickflip Edit 9/10/2020: still working on it lol I'm getting close tho Edit 12/2/2020: I still love skating but school has drained me of all energy and my mental health keeps getting worse Edit 1/19/20: Still haven't made it. I've been starting to fail school. I barely have any motivation to get out of bed. I have become severely depressed and starting to become suicidal. I think skating is over for me.
Personally my best flat ground trick is a nollie quad dragon flip late 360 fs shove revert but since I’ve been only doing hard tricks , I sort of lost the basic kickflip so thanks for the video .
The leaning forward part might be the golden tip I need to get kickflips down. My flick easily flips the board, but I just never get anywhere close to landing it. And if I do, video shows I was flicking down. I've also noticed a certain balance can make the board 'shoot back' into my flicking foot, which is halfway an advantage to a better flip. Not sure if that's correctly. Anyway, leaning forward is next on my list to try.
@@misiek_ Yes, it does help. A lot. Thing is, you have to balance leaning forward to the nose with also bringing up your front foot high enough for it to not flick down. It takes practice, but totally helps. The other thing to notice is how you _have_ to start bringing up your back foot as high up as possible for a better balance above the board too.
If you cant kickflip NEVER stop practicing i landed 30 of them today because i was practicing for 1 month STRAIGHT without breaks.GIVING UP IS NEVER AN OPTION
i used to skate with 15 and 16 years, but i stopped because college and lack of money... this year i'm 20 years old and today i bought a skate again! seeing guys like you explaining the major problems that most tutorials doesnt explain (in my time no one did it) is amazing! tx bro, you help me get back skating, wish you the best this 2020! shout out from brasilllllllll much love
I watched this video after I woke up this morning. I went outside and utilised the 'cross arms' motion that you talk about in this video... I landed THREE in a row! Thank you so much man!
officially may fav skating youtube channel. Detailed tips and tricks on how to fix every one of my mistakes. Im gonna say that you are waaaaay better at explaining things than braille, VL skate, skate or die and all those other popular channels. Pls do more of these "common mistakes" videos. I literally made a google doc with all the tips so I could keep them in mind when learning. You srsly made my day. Keep it up!
Lmao i was so mad earlier yesterday at all of the people saying “I landed my first kick flip because of this video”. Landed my first kick flip yesterday night. because of this man. Thank you so much. You can do it set aside a day or two
def gonna try that arm crossing tip, watched hundreds of videos on kickflips and this is the first time i’ve found tips that have actually been informative and not just recycled content. thankyou sir!
ive watched SO many kickflip videos. Yours was the first one that actually helped. I can land backfoot now !!!! my front foot still hits the ground too early.
I have a bad problem with flicking down and landing with my right foot only. I've had a lot of trouble getting the board to flip with out it, but I feel like you explained the flick and how to go about it really well! This is by far one of the best tutorials I've seen. I can't wait to try the tips!
Bro! I was trynna learn heelflips, didn’t work out so watched this video to give kickflips a try and somehow landed my First kickflip today (same day😱). Such an amazing teacher!!! Thank you so much.
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.
44 year old here learning kick flips for the first time. You have a knack for knowing what beginners struggle with. Thank you for your awesome tips! 👊🏻 Subbed.
The thing that really helped me relearn how to do kickflips after not skating for 10 years was to do them while grabbing the bars of the "leg-raise and dip station" of a larger exercise machine. The obvious downside is that you're forced to keep your arms up and out during the trick, but that also forces you to keep your elbows straight with the board, and keeping hold of the hand bars prevents you from eating the concrete.
Bro! Fer real... I’ve been trying to kick flip for like 2 1/2 months. Watched Braille and everyone else... I wish I would’ve started here. I was leaning too far back that my feet were on the ground before my board. I didn’t even finish the video and I caught dem bolts! Seriously, thank you for the super detailed explanation.
On this day (June 21, 7:00 pm) I landed my first kickflip! Thank you so much for helping me with all my tricks, encouraging me to skate, and for making skateboarding fun! 🖤🖤🖤
I literarly landed my first kickflip after i saw this video. If any of you is still having problems with their kickflip i think that u should try first in grass because that helped me a lot
NICE! I'm gonna use this video to help people at the skate park learn kickflips. I can do them but I'm not a great teacher and I didn't quite know how to correct other peoples problems when it comes to this trick. However since you covered the major issues I feel like I can provide better feedback to people.
i like your tutorials really much. you dont have the most perfect flips etc down, but certainly proper ones. the thing about people that are really good, pros maybe, is that they cant put themselfes into the position of a noob. they are skating for 10-15+ years plus and cant explain no trick, because they do them since a decade without thinking. a good skater told me once when i struggled with the ollie that i just need to jump -.- when you freshly learned a trick and maybe cleaned it up too, you remember all the struggles you went through. thanks and keep doing what you doing!
Went outside and they’re looking better, landing a couple! I was making every single mistake in this video and also I would land with both my feet together causing a slip out. Thanks man!!👌🏼🛹
same, but what helped me is to move my front foot a little more of the board until almost only ur toes and the foot part right below ur toes are on the board. and also dont slide out all the way to the nose and then kick, but try to slide shorter and start kicking out earlier, hope that heelps you too:)
Try it with your foot all the way almost off the board while on a crack and then you’ll get used to that flicking motion bc it’s weird at first and if you don’t know what you’re looking for you won’t really know what works. Putting your foot on the edge I much easier to flick but doesnt work with balance when you’re actually riding but start bringing your foot closer to the middle
This is the first video I've found that addresses the problems I'm having. I can't get my front foot anywhere near the board and the board always spins backside 45 to 90 degrees. Never thought about paying attention to the shoulders - will try tomorrow!
Thanks sooooo much the shoulders really helped me out a LOT with the flick I can get it to go double around but it just freaks out like crazy because my shoulders are wobbly
Got back into skating after 20 years.. relearning how to kickflip and the rest. I wish i had TH-cam when i was a kid. you had to pause VHS's and it was hard to learn from. haha
When I watch videos how to kick flip or Ollie it looks easy cause this people make it look easy Cause they know how to do it And for me it’s complicated
First Try!!! I am sick trick kick flip landed my first kick flip move ground my right leg on my DGK skateboard deck set up. I learned how to primo flip and double 360 tre flip.
Thanks Sean. I landed my first kickfliip last week but the board turned around 90 degrees. I thought I had to do with my pop like maybe I was doing a minor pop shovit movement with my backfoot. I didn't even think about my shoulders. I'm excited to focus on that and see if I can get a cleaner landing!
Watch the POV version of this trick tip: th-cam.com/video/ONqqPjT5VS8/w-d-xo.html
Black men can’t flip
Instructions too clear, kick flip so raw my board snapped

Honestly your videos are amazing
I literarly landed my first kickflip after i saw this video. If any of you is still having problems with their kickflip i think that u should try first in grass because that helped me a lot
But you can’t get pop on grass
@@musedits5442 yeah I always try to do it in the grass but I don’t get a pop and it’s dumb lol
By far the best kickflip tutorial on youtube, respect man
Thank you so much for this!
I landed my first few kickflips today thanks to you and I’ve only been skating for six days.
That's awesome! Good stuff!
Bro u r the best teacher ever
Bro! You’re a great instructor! This is great content and excellent material for practical use. Thank you!
Thanks!
Dude ive been struggling with kickflips for a year now I come across his channel and land it the next day you just got a new sub thanks man💙
Honestly I just love the sound of the board hitting the concrete
My guy wasn't lying i just got off of surgery and 2 months later here I am landing my first kickflip thanks sean!!!!
My board flips but my front foot can’t land my foot moves back instead of staying in place any help 😓
try to flick up and diagonal across the nose it helps more.
Thanks 🙏🏼
When you flip your board step off with ur back foot and force your front board on the board
Thanks for that tip bro I’ll try when I skate
@@thecrownofnoah9100 Trust me, just commit to the landing and you'll see its not that scary
Thanks to this legend I managed to flip the board and land with one foot the first minute ! Subscribing, saving the video and liking this
Dud i swear, ur the best teacher in skateboarding. Keep it up👍
Bro i love ur vids there helping me ur my fav skate teacher
That arm trick to keep your shoulders straight might be what I needed. Thank you.
Great instructions. No one ever addresses the board flying forward. That probably just unlocked the kickflip for me.
Just when I thought I had kick flips down I get even better at them after watching this dude. Great teacher
Awesome!
NICE! I'm gonna use this video to help people at the skate park learn kickflips. I can do them but I'm not a great teacher and I didn't quite know how to correct other peoples problems when it comes to this trick.

Tip: what’s helping me is imagining popping the kickflips exactly like an Ollie where you transfer the weight from the back to the front
Thiss!!!

Bro...I’ve watched countless kick flip videos that didn’t work for me, but after watching this i landed one thank you so much 🙏🏼
A good teacher can recreate a failed attempt as if it were a trick itself. Dude said “ your kick flips fly away” and knew exactly what to do wrong
I just wanted to see why I couldn’t kick flip but he’s so wholesome and funky and i was entertained just watching the intro out of the blue
😊❤️
when I‘m doing it it doesn‘t even flip, it just flies away .-.

dude i landed 2 kickflips because of the crossing your arms tips now im more close to get em solid eveytime you are the goat
landed my first kickflip today after almost 3 years. I don't have it on lock yet, but I am gonna work on it
Awesome!!!
You're honestly the one skate tutorial guy on youtube that makes me understand every trick I work on!
Thank youuuuuu better than braille 4 sho
The movement with the arms is KEY! To have air control and get rid of fear of controlling your body and board
Never give up no matter what you will land any trick but it will take time skating is so hard keep trying
Best of luck in 2020 looking forward to more! 🤪
2020s not going so great 😄
Oh yeah oh yeah yup I’m back but 1 good thing happened I can flip the board ;)
3 years ago and these tips are still one of the best i've seen.
