Been a month since I started skating, and because of these videos, I learned how to Okie, strawberry milkshake, and other beginner tricks because of you. I really appreciate your guidance for teaching me how to do all these tricks, and I can’t wait to finally land a kickflip. Thank you very much!
I'm 27. Haven't tried to skate or do any tricks pretty much since I was 16. Learned to how to do a kickflip better than I ever could when I was younger, in one hour, using these tips (especially bending the back leg) and used my own trick or placing my front wheels of some grass and my back wheels on the cement. Also taking breaks when I got stuck in my head ( kinda like learning guitar) . Moved to both wheels on the cement after I landed it a few times and then bam. I can land a kickflip sometimes now :p can't wait to get consistent with landing it. Shouts out to my fellow skaters who feel too old to get back into skating. It's not too late!
Brother I feel this! I just picked up a board for the first time in 10 years to take skating serious again. Im now 29 with an injured back but Aaron Kyro has inspired to go get back at it. I watched him take on vert and I was like "I'd love to get to that stage". So now I have a few decks setup and have been going frequently. Will definitely try this method out tomorrow sometime. I wish Braille was in Houston because I've always wanted to work with skateboards in some fashion.
@ryanthomas1153 there must be an international midlife crisis going on because I'm 29 and just bought my first board again since I was probably 17 or 18. I thought I'd hop right back on... anyways now I'm here🤣
Used to be able to kick flip consistently back in the day, got in a car accident a few years ago and got screws in my left ankle and knee. Decided to pick up skateboarding again with the pandemic, and the kick flip motion is the hardest thing for me to get down again. Definitely going to try this out.
I’m 23, can do a late flip, tre flip, and heel flip. Still haven’t committed to kick flip. I didn’t realize the flick up motion helped more. Hope this works 😩
I want to thank you so much I started skating when I was ten and I was learning very quickly until it came to the kickflip. After over a year of not being able to kickflip and watching tons and tons of tutorials including most of your tutorials. After over a year of not being able to I stopped skating. Now being 14 and watching this video and watching Street Dreams and flicking I went out the next day(today) and after around an hour, I can kickflip. I have so much love for you guys, and thank you so much.
I'm 30 and I just landed my first TWO kickflips after finally actually paying attention to this video. 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks Aaron for making skateboarding accessible to more people!
Just landed my 1st Kickflip! I love you Aaron. I'm 40 years old and I knew nothing before I bought skateboarding made simple. I have to land a heelflip to complete sms vol 1. This was the best and simplest tutorial on kickflip
Just two days ago i made it my goal for 2022 to land a kickflip and here ya'll go and give me the tools to make that goal possible! Thanks Braille team
This has been my goal for 2021. For me the main thing was fully commiting to landing it. I'm proud to say I've now been landing multiple kickflips everyday this month of December. I'll put a clip up on my channel if you want to see me land a kickflip. All your tutorials video have been a huge help. Thank you for all the tips
Ive been skating for months now and have watched tons of different videos even yours. I finally landed my first kickflip but it took time and practice. Probably one of the most satisfying things ive done. Thx so much for the help.
Been trying kickflips for days but couldn’t get them right because I was flicking down, watched this video yesterday and spent the day fixing my flick. Landed my first one today!!! Thank you 🙏
THANK YOU SO MUCH I watched your video after 3 weeks of no success. But when I tried your method I nailed it in a few hours!!!!! So hyped I just landed my first few kicks flips. Thank you Braille team.
Aug 14, no kickflip... been trying for a while but keep flicking down. Gonna go try this. Edit 1: I was out for a while practicing with the flick tip and I saw the most improvement from trying an ollie from behind the front bolts and adding a flick. Now I just have to get both feet on there. Edit 2: Aug 15, just landed first kickflip!!!! Was a little sketchy, but that practicing step helped build that muscle memory. Thanks!
Aaron I literally love you. Bro I’m on day 2 and already on the commitment part. The rotation is there and all I need to do is just land it. I did have to go to the grass but I can’t believe the flick is already there after 2 days. Imma edit this comment when I finally land it. Edit: I landed my first kickflip on day 3. Ofc when I say “Day 3” I honestly mean like it took me 10-12hrs total. Went to a park at 8pm and landed it at 10:30pm. I landed it on the grass but I landed with my body turned so I stayed till 11pm to get a perfect landing which I did. I literally never thought I could do it. Now all I gotta do is do it on pavement and roll away. Half way there. I’m making a short vid for you Aaron just so you can see somewhat of the happiness/pain on my face when I first landed it.
@@RayGunnerGaming not while rolling :/ I’ve been lacking ain’t gonna lie. But it’s summer time so it’s the best time to practice. So ya only stationary I’ve landednit
Cause of really bads back problems I can't skate anymore. Now I'm into Kendama and still applying Aaron Kyro's learning rules! Step by step, practice daily! I also learned card magic / cardistry this way! Thanks for all the hard work and inspiration to all Braille Skateboarding staff!
I started in oct 2023 I can Ollie, pop shove it, 180 it’s not easy can’t 100 percent always land them but I’m getting them and the kick flip have not landed yet but I am determined to do so and all your technics and teachings have made it so much easier to get back into skating 💪🏽😎
It's a jump, not for height, but more to suspend your upper body while you tuck your legs up. It's in the wind up, you crouch down, bend your knees and keep your shoulders over the board. Then jump off both feet and lift your front foot first for ollie tricks. If you don't wind up and jump, you wont have time and you will fall on your board because gravity is a constant force pulling us earthlings to the ground, Aaron.
I've been skating for my whole life and have never been able to consistently kickflip but you just broke this down perfect . Imma go out and try this and get that locked in
Ok I am now going out at 9:22 AM to land my kickflip Edit: AFTER ALL DAYS WORK AT 3:22 PM I LANDED A KICKFLIP!!!! THANK YOU ARON YOUR A REAL LIFE WIZARD MAN!!!!!!!
Wow I've got my ollie's down for years am able to Ollie over most objects yet I cant kickflip ima try the first option and watch some yt while doing the motion
You guys rock. Thanks for making skateboarding so accessible. I’ve been trying to kick flip since 2007 and I haven’t seen dances with wolves, so I’ll leave a comment after I’ve done so.
Technically I've been skating on and off for like 5 years now (mostly off) I got the ollie down and slowly started getting on my board less and less. The braile team and their videos inspire me to continue learning, and with these videos, Im not intimidated by the kickflip anymore.
Me and my friend were in my room, editing something for school, and then I was just messing around. I almost landed it I tried again, and I actually landed it. Thank you so much braille skateboarding, and everyone out there who has helped me❤
I havent been skating for a couple years now ,I use to be able to do so many tricks, I have not landed my kickflip but this method is making my it easier.
never landed one... YET. I'm getting a skateboard for xmas because you inspired me thank you so much your inspiring me to get fit and learn how to skateboard!
7:17 I have the same problem that Lance is having in that clip. When I do it flat without rolling it seems like it grips too much and the board just goes flying forward
I have this problem too sometimes when I’m trying. I find that when I angle my foot a little more it helps that not happen. Never landed one, but when I’m trying and that happens it helps to angle my foot a little more and put the tip of my shoe lined up with the furthest bolts.
whenever i have thus problem, im usually leaning too far forward OR not popping hard enough so i either lean abit more back or pop harder. i think the problen comes from flicking before the board properly pops(basically top early) so popping abit harder or leaning abit back usually helps me get the pop faster but you could also try flicking abit later. it all depends on the person so just experiment and find what works for u goodluck!
I landed a kick flip today after resuming my progress last week! The part I actually struggled with the most was keeping my board under me but with momentum I feel it will be less of a problem.
im 30 now but i still got landing a kickflip on my bucket list. I learned to ollie as a kid but then never stepped on a skateboard for 20 years. got back around to it, skating now for 2 months, got (ok-ish) ollies, shov its and landed my first backside 180 yesterday (!). Im working on the kickflip lately i thought flicking down is important, so glad i came across this video. Im going back to square one and do the movie practice thing now
Back in to serious skating at 37 after 10yrs out. Never landed a kickflip since I started at 15....gonna try this and get back to you. Reading the comments I'm hopeful.
Just got a new board. Been years. But i have never landed a kick flip. I can ollie. I love skateboarding. I love the sound of it when it roll on concrete. I will land a kick flip. It is on my bucket list along with other tricks. Alot of my friends dont care much for skate boarding but ive allways had a passion and will never lose it.
I started skateboarding 2 weeks back and i progressed at doing ollies and drop ins , so I now i started to do kickflips. I landed my first one yesterday.
Dude I couldn't kick flip for years (I always found heel flips way easier). I've been trying to kick it down this entire time, just as you mentioned. Great videos!
I could never commit and This video really helped because my flicking was right and my pop was right I wasn’t flicking down it just me not committing but today I learned how to commit because of Aaron so thank you❤️
alright so i’ve watched my brother skate for a few years and i kinda rode around as a kid. but really got into it. now i’m older and my roommate has a skateboard so i casually fool around on when we smoke and stuff. i also sorta remember my brother trying to teach me how to land an ollie and somehow after years and years with no practice just simply that memory i surprisingly landed my fist ollie by accident couple days ago. so here we are i’m becoming a skater now
That idea of practicing the flicking motion while watching a movie is awesome. I am one of those I get a few then loose it people. It’s totally because I don’t skate every day. I’d totally love to but my family has these terrible habits. They like to eat and they love their house. So, I have to work (lol) and sometimes (rather most times) I just get home too late. But when I get home on time I have a deal with myself to skate for at least 45 minutes. On the weekends when I’m not working, I usually get in at least 2 hours a day if not more depending on what my wife has planned for us. But enough about my work schedule. Thank you for the great tips. They are really practical. I honestly feel like I might be able to get it more consistent if I follow them. Thank you bro. You’re the man.
i learned to kickflip in under 3 days last month and my pro tip is even when you aren’t on your board practice your flick. laying on your bed? flick your foot. sitting in class? flick your foot. just slide it across the ground and flick it
Great to see A.K back at it! Supplying these inspirational videos....I learned to kickflip 25 years ago, but this is great! Wish we had these videos back before TH-cam existed 🤣
Already starting to help the flick is already better did wreck an old pair of shoes but eh it's worth it my flick is already a million times better gonna keep practicing till I can do it also it's been helping staying inline with the board by Flexing my shoulders when do the tricks
I've always been a heel flip guy, I've landed inward and varial heel, laser flip and even a varial flip but I've never landed just a straight kick flip. Finally got it today
I don't skate, but have enjoyed your videos for years. I have had an idea for some time and didn't know if it would be something that could be possible. The idea of Braille is to get more people skating, and it seems that if you can help them learn faster, they may stick with it longer. The idea was a beginners grip tape. Numerous different colors that each represent feet placements. Arrows pointing in directions to drag for instructions on how to do the basic tricks.
landed 2 kickflips today. I feel more confident landing them now (took me almost 2 years) be patient and have a friend to skate to boost your confidence because quitting will be WAY TO EASY
I use several practice techniques to work on consistency. I like the land every trick X times but sometimes time is a big factor for me so to make the most of it I will play game where if I land a trick first try I move on and mix it in stress free thereafter land or not. If I fail the trick I get five tries to land it - but I have to land one for each try I fail. If I fail more than five times I have to try the trick until I land it once. This forces you to focus your time by definition on whatever tricks you didn’t have consistently in a given day. Over the course of dozens of sessions this will strengthen your weaknesses. And if one of your other tricks starts to suffer it will naturally transition you to regaining the lost consistency. Another tip for reducing the time to warmup is to mix up your solid tricks into lines. It’s a lot more fun and allows you to land a lot of tricks in a row so you can save your energy for the tricks that you struggle with.
just went and skated to the servo and legit landed my first ever kickflip first try with this method in mins thank you AK

Is the ankle flick up after your foot comes off the board a conscious thing or not really?

Same I had problems getting my back foot up
@@ethank5951 Yeah me too
Did you land it
Does that work with Ollie's too?

I’ve been skating for 15 years off and on, but never landed a kick flip. Today I’m committed to changing that. Thanks AK
Can't do it yet, I've watched the video, gonna try this while doing homework. Thanks Braille :)
I haven't kickflipped but when I do I'll reply to this. This guy is a amazing teacher
I watched this video and it helped me land better Ollie’s for some reason

Thank you!!!!! I am going to try this I have a problem with flicking down
Dude I couldn't kick flip for years (I always found heel flips way easier).
I've been trying to kick it down this entire time, just as you mentioned.
Great videos!
I could never commit and This video really helped because my flicking was right and my pop was right I wasn’t flicking down it just me not committing but today I learned how to commit because of Aaron so thank you❤️
Dancing with Wolfs is really a great film, thank you!
just worn through the black line that goes around the rubber part of vans for the first time. feel so proud of myself ngl 😂
nailed it. The practice of landing one foot and it being the front foot is right on. Keep that foot above the board.
Yes awesome! Send in video on success page Braille website community page
Totally was overthinking kickflip for years great video
Thanks so much! Land it and let us know
Love your vids i started 2weeks ago with skate and i can already a Ollie because of your olie video 1 and 2
I’ve just landed my first heelflip today, and now I need to learn to the “easier” flip.
This helped so much thank you I landed the kickflip 2 hours after I wacthed this video so ty a lot!
OH MY GOSH THIS HELPED SO MUCH
it only took me 45 minutes to land my first kick flip (thanks so much Aaron)
Landed my first kickflip yesterday!! Another tip I saw is land a ton of half ones to get commitment down then just click a little harder and land!!
Amazing!!
I didn’t think I could do it but I kept at it and landed it in 6 hours over 3 days thanks for the vid 🙏🙏
alright so i’ve watched my brother skate for a few years and i kinda rode around as a kid. but really got into it. now i’m older and my roommate has a skateboard so i casually fool around on when we smoke and stuff. i also sorta remember my brother trying to teach me how to land an ollie and somehow after years and years with no practice just simply that memory i surprisingly landed my fist ollie by accident couple days ago. so here we are i’m becoming a skater now
i’ll let y’all know when i land my kickflip
Back in 2021 I have been landing my kickflips 1 foot 😭 Hopefully I will finally land my kickflips both feeeeet thanks Brailleeeee this actually helps.
Watching this on Dec 23, gonna try as soon as get off work. ty kyro
Just landed my first one in my living room after 5 beers. So hyped.
This is the best tutorial for a kick flip I’ve ever seen
That idea of practicing the flicking motion while watching a movie is awesome. I am one of those I get a few then loose it people. It’s totally because I don’t skate every day. I’d totally love to but my family has these terrible habits. They like to eat and they love their house. So, I have to work (lol) and sometimes (rather most times) I just get home too late. But when I get home on time I have a deal with myself to skate for at least 45 minutes. On the weekends when I’m not working, I usually get in at least 2 hours a day if not more depending on what my wife has planned for us. But enough about my work schedule. Thank you for the great tips. They are really practical. I honestly feel like I might be able to get it more consistent if I follow them. Thank you bro. You’re the man.
never tried doing normal kf so i learned how to do v kf first. just made my first kf today then did it down a 2 stair ty.
i learned to kickflip in under 3 days last month and my pro tip is even when you aren’t on your board practice your flick. laying on your bed? flick your foot. sitting in class? flick your foot. just slide it across the ground and flick it
I landed 3 sketchy ones at the park today, gotta try the skateboarding made simple routine you got there AK
Thanks! I learned the kickflip as my first trick and it only took 15 min! I didn't know how easy and fun skateboarding can be!
Never landed and I'm looking forward to the learn
cant wait to try it after school!
I’m sick right now so I can’t go out but I will try of course thanks Aaron you are my favorite skater 💖😁
Ijust landed my first kickflip thanks to this video. Thank you so much AK!
Great to see A.K back at it! Supplying these inspirational videos....I learned to kickflip 25 years ago, but this is great! Wish we had these videos back before TH-cam existed 🤣
Already starting to help the flick is already better did wreck an old pair of shoes but eh it's worth it my flick is already a million times better gonna keep practicing till I can do it also it's been helping staying inline with the board by Flexing my shoulders when do the tricks
I've always been a heel flip guy, I've landed inward and varial heel, laser flip and even a varial flip but I've never landed just a straight kick flip. Finally got it today
I don't skate, but have enjoyed your videos for years. I have had an idea for some time and didn't know if it would be something that could be possible.
The idea of Braille is to get more people skating, and it seems that if you can help them learn faster, they may stick with it longer. The idea was a beginners grip tape. Numerous different colors that each represent feet placements. Arrows pointing in directions to drag for instructions on how to do the basic tricks.
landed 2 kickflips today. I feel more confident landing them now (took me almost 2 years)
be patient and have a friend to skate to boost your confidence because quitting will be WAY TO EASY
Just landed the kickflip. After 3 months or more. Just because this tutorial. Thanks a lot
Awesome well done!
There was one time I was trying to Ollie the spine and I was on my last try and told myself I’m doing it this time no matter what and I got it
I use several practice techniques to work on consistency. I like the land every trick X times but sometimes time is a big factor for me so to make the most of it I will play game where if I land a trick first try I move on and mix it in stress free thereafter land or not. If I fail the trick I get five tries to land it - but I have to land one for each try I fail. If I fail more than five times I have to try the trick until I land it once. This forces you to focus your time by definition on whatever tricks you didn’t have consistently in a given day. Over the course of dozens of sessions this will strengthen your weaknesses. And if one of your other tricks starts to suffer it will naturally transition you to regaining the lost consistency.
Another tip for reducing the time to warmup is to mix up your solid tricks into lines. It’s a lot more fun and allows you to land a lot of tricks in a row so you can save your energy for the tricks that you struggle with.
