  • This is my skateology video for kickflips. These clips were filmed at 1,000 frames per second with a Redlake N3 high speed camera at 1280x720 resolution.
    The skaters are Ryan Gaynier (0:24 & 2:30), Brian Martin (0:50), Wes Wallace (1:18), Chris Sorini (1:46), Zach Roberts (1:56), and Adrian Gephart (2:58). The gap Adrian kickflips is actually pretty long but you can't tell from this angle.
    Thanks to System Productions for the music. This song is called Breaks.

    Don't stomp it! The stomp is onlt necessary when you're popping them super high and you want to bring it down centered under you. If you're flicking it right it should catch your feet grip side up.

    • @TheObZenx
      @TheObZenx 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      To get it to flip higher you need to suck your legs up more and have more of your foot on the board. The more of the nose you catch on the flick the higher it throws the board. Treat it more like an ollie and drag the foot up then flick off the nose in the same manner you would push your foot forward to level out your ollie.

    Guys, if you're reading this, let me give you a life changing tip that worked for me.
    I was able to do most basic flip tricks with a a high pop and smooth, but somehow was failing 95% and couldn't figure out why for years. Turns out I was trying to land with my backfoot first and everything seem to land with an offset or would hit my front foot before landing. What I changed was: sent every flip to my front/dominant foot and not everything magically lands as i can easily readjust with my front foot mid air and still land with my backfoot on... hope this helps

First learn to ollie on something, ollie off something, ollie over something, shove its, pop shove it, frontside shove it, no comply fs, no comply bs, ollie bs, ollie fs. If you good in all these tricks, that is good time for kickflip. There is no necessary to rush kickflip. Kickflip is just a trick like every other trick. Ohh and btw heelflip is easier than kickflip, so i propose to give a try to learn heelflip first.

Next i just got to work up the balls to drop in the half pipe. That's going to be next lol. I'm so fucking scared lol.
      Since i started skating i've actually broke my hand, bruised my lung, cracked my collar bone, sprained my ankle and busted up my knee. But I go hard bro. That's what skating is all about. That's what makes a skater a skater. Someone who can smash their bones into concrete and get right back on the board.

    @KurtG85 12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for the tip. I read a tip somewhere that I think addresses the bigger issue of what I'm doing wrong. I tend to wait too long after popping and flick down rather than flipping it as my front foot slides up.
    I'm still trying to get a feel for ollieing while moving too. Its like I don't know if I'm suppossed to jump more off my front or back foot, and in these slo-mo's they have a ton of 'spring' without actually pressing the tail to the ground, which is difficult to figure the timing of.

  • @ashomsky
    @ashomsky  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you're landed one footed you probably need to work on flipping the board faster. You can only stay in the air for a very limited time so if the board doesn't flip fast enough you have to put one foot down before it's finished flipping.

    Notice how the board pops and lifts before they actually flick the board. If you're trying to learn a kick flip, try to really ollie and get it in the air before you actually flick the board. Think of it as an ollie with a flip afterwards. It's what has helped me doing proper kick flips.

I was a skater in late 80's and as a cameraman that i'm now, i can tell that it looks so high because on the low angle shooting and not so of the slo-mo. GREAT job guys in both arts, skate and camerawork.

    This is just what I needed to understand the actual motion of the trick. I needed a precise example and in all clips they did it the exact same way, which means that it consistently is the right move. Thank you very much for this video 🙏

    I either land primo or the board only flips wheels facing up. I've tried 10,000,000 times and I still can't do it lol I feel like a poser

    It's all in the pop as much as in the front foot. Pop it clean and slide the from foot towards the nose and flick it with some authority. Bring your knees up to your chest and if you did it right, the board will flip and come up to your rear foot for a clean catch and stick the landing on bolts! Works everytime ;)

    I am literally at the last step from kickflips. I can land with my front and back foot on, and I can kiclflip holding onto a rail. I just can't get both feet back on the board. Any tips?

    try pulling your legs up into your body after you flick
    also you might be flicking down instead of up, dont flick down

    Practice practice man. I did kicklfips for hours and hours at a time for over a year before I landed mine. It's the only reason I still keep trying tre flips.
    First kickflip I landed and how mine looked at first were nothing like this video. First thing to remember is to keep your body aligned with the board. Next thing is to jump and bring your feet up.
    The flick, for me, is more like I'm flicking my foot down BUT my leg is moving up. The board stays where I flicked it down so im over it

    When I try to kick out and not down, the board flips ok but it gets away from me and my foot gets so far away I can’t get it back on the board. How can I fix this?

  • @ronanbuenaventura
    @ronanbuenaventura 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When I do this my board keeps overspinning and it always lands with the griptape on the floor. Am I flicking too hard?

    i just landed my first kickflip, trick is to crouch down less, you ahve more control on your way up, hence smooth flick, nice spin, and better body placement to land it! good luck

  • @brakeman211
    @brakeman211 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not sure. It could be you're just kicking it out and not jumping with it. A lot of problems with the kickflip have to do with commitment. Try and set your feet up like in this video and when you flick your front foot, flick it up with the angle of the board, not down. Try attempting at least 100 kickflips a day, and when you start to land them, try landing 50 a day. It's all about practice. Good Luck!

  • @jonsdaniel
    @jonsdaniel 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do it on low cut grass or carpet in a basement first so you get confidence with landing it. 99% of people that do that are scared so you need to over come that and commit and a bet you'll land it. The easy part is getting the rotation the hard part is landing. I've seen pro skaters mess up on flatground tricks before because they got scared so its completely normal but you need to commit.

  • @TomRussss
    @TomRussss 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @deepfried456 its all about where you keep your weight (where you lean/balance over the board) i suggest for stationary having your weight on your back sholder, and for kickflips when rolling, have your weight a little further back. That might not be entirly accurate, i can never tell when im not on my board, but play around the where you put your weight, but dont forget to stay light on your toes and jump and flick out.

  • @wadeskates502
    @wadeskates502 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I learned kickflips using the edge of my bed down in my basement bedroom..if you can find something that your arms can support you on while doing the kickflip stationary it should let you hold yourself up long enough to see the full rotation and catch when it comes around..just land them like that a couple times and you will get the idea..hope this helps ;)

  • @PIA1441
    @PIA1441 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    You can kickflip as high as your ollies, if your ollies are not high, improve your ollies, now if your ollies are high and your kickflips not, try to make a kickflip... not that kickflip, like try to mix it with the ollie and focus more on the slide to level up the board and not that much on the flick... Imagine that its a half ollie and half kickflip.

  • @randomewolf
    @randomewolf 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    when i started doing my normal kickflips i flicked the board the moment i poped the board wich helped me but now that im learning them swich i found out that if you just practice landing with the other foot for a while and then once your comftorable catching the board with either foot just go for it... also commit, get in your head that you ARE going to land it
    hope it helps :p

  • @HulaBoy75
    @HulaBoy75 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @deepfried456 Pop like a standard ollie but push your front foot forward but off the corner of the nose, I found when learning them that my back foot always landed on the floor making it more like a rear foot no comply kick flip. Learn to lift your back foot higher and forward a bit so it lands on the board.

  • @TheMlc4life

    this stuff is such a strong learning tool i learned how to heelflip from the slo motion at the starting of the girl yah right video anyeways your stuff is great just a suggestion could you get more of a roll up thank you for the cool vids I m going to subscribe

  • @brakeman211
    @brakeman211 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's a commitment issue. You're afraid you're not going to catch it so your instinct is to step off of the board to catch yourself. Try to get it in your mind to commit fully to the trick, no matter what happens and I think you'll start to see that front foot getting back to the board.
