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
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 .
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
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.
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.
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
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 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!
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
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.
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! 🖤🖤🖤
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.
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!
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
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
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.
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!
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!
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!!👌🏼🛹
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
Ahhhhhhhh thank you so much I didn’t land my kick flip yet but I am so much more closer to getting it then I was before watching this video u are a GOD
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.
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
My main struggle with the kickflips is that I’m only able to land with my back foot, but my front foot is off to the side. Before this problem it was my front foot landing on my board and my back foot to the side.
i watched this video and was working on kickflips for about 3 hours before (that day) and i have never landed one but i just DID IT thank you so much i subbed
LEON DM I was putting my foot in different locations for the kickflips trying to find my flick because everyone’s kick flip is different and don’t lean back when you kick flip it makes the trick basically impossible, try leaning forward when you pop and flick and just trust you are going to land back on the board you may primo but just go in with confidence and i promise the kick flip will come
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.
Watch the POV version of this trick tip: th-cam.com/video/ONqqPjT5VS8/w-d-xo.html
Black men can’t flip
Bro, you're like a god or something, i just went out to try the kickflip after saw this vid, and I F****ING LANDED IT

fr man. He hit on every single mistake I did. I never subbed so fast. It's always the TH-camrs that make vids as a hobby that are the best.
when I‘m doing it it doesn‘t even flip, it just flies away .-.

you are probably flicking too forward. thats what ive been doing and it helps to put your foot back more. i still cant do it though

That's awesome! Good stuff!
3 years ago and these tips are still one of the best i've seen.
Thanks!
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

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

By far the best kickflip tutorial on youtube, respect man
I watched this and landed my first kickflip today
The movement with the arms is KEY! To have air control and get rid of fear of controlling your body and board
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
