Kickflip is where the board spins under your feet and is one of the first tricks many people learn. It is one of the most frustrating tricks ever so have fun learning.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Skateboard

Step1
First up set your feet up. okay I'm not gonna tell you to place your feet right behind the front bolts, that's crap no one who's learning can do it that way. Put your front foot at a mild angle in the middle of the board. Place your back foot on the tail, nothing special with that.
Step2
Okay this is were it gets fun. Pop the board up and flick your foot off the side the nose this starts the flip. Yeah thats all there is to this step.
Step3
JUMP stay right over the board and then land on it when you have to. that's the hardest part of the trick (at least for me) You won't get it on your first try so keep practicing. It can be done stationary.

Tips & Warnings

  • DON'T GET ANGRY WITH IT thats the worst thing you can do.
  • You're not gonna land it every time so practice.
  • It's a hard trick to learn so be proud if you can do it.
  • You're probably gonna fall.
  • don't throw your board, trust me you don't wanna have to buy a new one.
