Kickflip Help (With Video)

[stevieblaze]

I can't get my kickflips, I don't know what's wrong. I have a video in hopes that an expert can help me. I do this everytime almost, that or a rocket kickflip. Thanks.

WHOA! okay buddy..here flick sooner then u think u have to and dont flick all the way up like that..make sure u get the pop and flick then tuck up..that was horrid to watch man..just watch this video of me doing one k..(I was trying to do a tweaked one so thats why it looks weird) too bad people said it wasnt tweaked and its just a nosedived kickflip LOL but eyah here http://media.putfile.com/tweaked-kickflip
tell me if u want it in super slow mo

Ok, so do you mean flick it after I pop and am not all the way up yet? And I'm not worried about my back foot, I didn't bring that up on purpose, I was just trying to get it out of the way as I am just learning.

okay so right when u are starting to pop u start bringing ur front foot up to the nose and ready to give it a little flick and just no that the board will flip and stay above the board and land that mutha fucka! what helped me was..holding onto like..a tree or post or something u can lean on and just hold on to w/e it is and try to kickflip and once u can land it like that then try it without holding on and its ALOT easier now do u want me to super slow mo my kickflip so u can stupy it and see how it all works out?

[stevieblaze]

Yea sure, that'd definetly help. I'll have to post some more footy tomorrow when I land it :P

Thanks for the vid. I don't try that much cause it pisses me off. I practice kickflips for like 15-minutes then just try to perfect my 180's (can't do a F/S but I can do a B/S =P) and then just some old school stuff. And another thing, everytime I get it to spin right, it does a rocket kickflip. Any help there?

[45288]

rocket flip...its cuz ur flicking upwards LOL flick or straight and when u tuck up (if u want urs to nose dive like mine) then with ur back foot as soon as u pop it tuck that fucking foot right up higher then ur front foot and u can get ur front foot on easier that way 2

Ok, I am pissed off now. Everyone I know can at least spin a double kickflip and I just can't even spin the kickflip. I am flicking and all, my board just won't spin!!
