Today we're going over kickflips on stairs and gaps. Below is the link for the tutorial on how to bail when skating stairs: • SKATE HACKS: HOW TO BA...
Skaters deserve so much more respect from the general public in the sports community. It's incomprehensible to them the amount of effort and dedication that is put into this skill. Anyone can kick a ball or catch one and then run. But in skating to do even the most basic thing you are risking your neck, your ankle, your butt and a concussion if you didn't break your arm to avoid it. All this happens starting at day 1 hour 0. I don't care how bad you are, if you just roll on a board you already have my utmost respect-
practicing off curb is vital, what helped me was learning to view the curb as just a crack that I needed to kickflip over and not an obstacle to jump off of. Make sure that You look down at your board to set up as you start rolling up, once feet placement is good eye the approaching "crack" and then a couple seconds before youll make it there, look down at your foot positioning and keep your eyes down at the nose of your board. Flick like normal although I'd recommend emphasizing the flick. Think of it as two seperate motions. Ollieing, and then flicking the board . If it helps I always thought about flicking my front foot later than usual, and that would give me the perfect flip and keep[ it below my feet. Have fun. Once youve gotten this timing in your head about the "crack" Itll make your kickflips so much more consistent. I actually find it easier to kickflip off things than on flat.
Love this channel... straight to the point, tons of value out of it. Well done man for another great job! I’ve been watching your kickflip tutorial over and over again and it has help me immensely. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Yes, please cover more stairs and gaps skating! It's something I've struggled with all 13 years of skating but I'm trying to really buckle down and get great at it.
cool video, i can kickflip off a curb but havent tried down a set. I did notice that the extra airtime makes it easier to flip down curbs, as was mentioned in the video. definitely make more videos with more tutorials down stairs
Every time i try a Kickflip on a 3 stair or bigger I just catch it with my back foot and it’s so hard to just commit to both feet, such a mental battle
Thank you so much I Really appreciate this video whilst I ate my dippy eggsc, keep it up all love one love, hi I hope you can all be well and if not I hope you all get better xxx
This is what I’m struggling with right now. I hit a handrail in my first year but doing an Ollie or a kickflip down it is way more scary. I actually need to know how to do it. This didn’t really say how. I always land in front of the board if I kickflip off curbs and shit and I’m not tryna do that if I’m going down stairs. Could break my ankle like my friend just did yesterday. I can kickflip up curbs but not down them lol
Whenever I go to kickflip off a ledge I pop and Flick and jump obliviously but when I go to catch it of a decently sized ledge it cancels out the kickflip rotation like a lot of the time I’ll do a kickflip late heelflip motion and I can catch them on flat but when it comes to a ledge I just can’t seem to catch it
Just like what K said, you have to learn to pop early, it takes more time for the back of the board to float up and go over an obstacle. Try with fakie ollies and up a curb- You'll see how the board goes up later on the back so you need to pop a second early
How do you to tricks down 7+ stairsets, I'm a beginner and I don't get much air time off stairsets, idk how to prolong my ollies and flick them in front of me so I haven't done anything over a 5 stair, how do you get more airtime with different tricks for bigger stairsets, pls do a video on this🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It just gets better with time, just take it step by step, once you feel like you can ollie a 6 stair do it, then go ollie a 7 stair if you feel that your are capable of it ect...
Should you look at the stairs/gap or look at your board? When I look at my board I can't get the timing for the pop. When I look at the stairs i cant see my board so it throws off my timing/confidence. Any tips? Thanks
Yeah there was a lot of things he didn’t cover in this video like when to pop before you go down the stairs but I guess it’s better to just go out there and try it for your self videos can only do so much it’s more of trial and error
I can do kickflip almost every try and i can catch them on flat and off curbs and little gabs really well. When flipping off stairs it is really hard to overcome the fear of landing, and it takes really much time to build confidence of landing. I know i would do 3 stairs kickflip but it just so scary to land. Sorry for bad language and any tips?
Whenever I try to Tre flip no matter what I can never get the flick. If you have ig can I get it and send you a clip of my trying so you can hopefully help. I’ve looked at all the videos and all my friends but I can’t get the flick
Hi :) When do you change your view from the edge to the board? In the flat I am keeping my eyes on the board all the time, but when I jump down somewhere with a kickflip, i still look at the edge while popping and this makes everything feel completely different. It's very difficult for me. I start the kickflip from my muscle memory and without looking at the board. Only when I have already pulled my foot out in front of the nose i start looking at the board. Is that correct or should I look at the board while popping?
Don’t ever worry about where to look, it’s distracting and makes it hard to concentrate on the trick and timing. Do what feels right to you. Practice kickflipping curbs until you feel comfortable with your timing and execution of it all, before moving to bigger obstacles. Your muscle memory only improves with each attempt. You’ll probably be looking less at the board once you get comfortable. But no need to consciously fixate on that.
Dude you should tighten up your script and edit a bit. It needs a bit more structure, some pauses to help us digest what was just said otherwise it's hard to take in, especially with the slightly wordy script as it currently stands!
Can someone please help me out every time I try to kickflip off something I alway land forward with my heel making it turn sideways and I can’t seem to stop I’ll show an example on my insta is someone can help and dm me how to stop it @fucklui_
Glitch Aquila i been doing them years. jonny giger 10 types of kickflips. mine is called beginner kickflip. im emarassed and tried changing it and hate look of it.

mans popping his tricks so late, he gets extra leverage from the dip down before the pop. respect.
Bird Person I totally was thinking the same
He is popping very late his two front wheels are pretty much over the top

Yooo I had to come in the comments to see if I wasn't the only one. Last possible moment lol

Yes, please cover more stairs and gaps skating! It's something I've struggled with all 13 years of skating but I'm trying to really buckle down and get great at it.
Great style. Love how you tweak your kickflips

Dude. So clean looking. Thanks for the tip. Definitely all mental. Just gotta trust that you know how to kickflip already and then Send it. Haha.

I love how this came out a week ago but I just got the notif for it
Please make more videos covering doing tricks over gaps and down stairs please would be much appreciated
Every one of these would be like “you’re ready when you can catch it”
Every time i try a Kickflip on a 3 stair or bigger I just catch it with my back foot and it’s so hard to just commit to both feet, such a mental battle

Everytime I watch your videos I realize how much what you do with your arms matters
Yup broke my left arm 2 times
Hey can you do a video on how to fakie tricks over something or off gaps
Nice video btw
Pop early

@@graemep7729 thank you sir
So should I focus 100% on catching the board and not the ground ?
Yoo that’s close to me , I’ve skated that park .
That’s the sequin, texas park 🤣
wow! what park is that? I would love that place.
MTR skatepark in Seguin, TX

keep your shoulders lined up, if you rotate them your body will follow
Wassup man im Q just started a TH-cam @SKATERS_TV but hope one day we can meet up an skate someday

Yerrrrrrrrrr

That park looks sick, where is it??
I cant catch it like you but that dosent mean i can catch it right, both of my feet stop the board before it hits the ground
Brooo his board on 1:33
Snapped my board kickflipping on a 4 set, then when I got a new deck went back to get it and busted my knee feel like that set is cursed for me
i know right? i have a slap band that seems to give me bad luck. every time i skate with it bad things happen
