How to do a kickflip

This is the right way to do it
1. Put back foot on the tail
2. Place front foot middle of the board
3. *(pay attention here, this is the most important step) squat down really low and touch the nose with your front hand
4. Push down on tail with your back foot while karate kicking as high as you can with your front foot
5. Flip the board and land back on
6. Ride away...

If you need a demonstration ask me and I'll show you how it's done.

Volcom8- That's cool you can land your kickflips and heelflips with one foot.

Kickflips to me are just like ollies with your front foot closer to the edge. Make sure you can nail it stationary before you try it moving or you'll die.

Kick less, jump more. Practice em a lot. It took me like 3 years to learn kf and im still pretty bad at them.

what you gotta do for them is pop them really hard so you can catch em real good. plus the faster the spin the less you have to jump if that is yoru problem

spend less time in this ****ing forum and go practice. You'll eventually find out what you're doing wrong on your own.

real help: go ****ing practice you n00b and stop patroling these forums. They arent that hard and if you really need help then talk to people around you who can watch you try and tell you what you should do.
