How to do a kickflip

This article will show you how to kickflip.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A skateboard

1. First, if you are regular position your left foot slightly below the bolts and slant it at about a 30 to 45 degree angle. And put your back foot in ollie position.
   
   If you are goofy, put your right foot at about a 30 to 45 degree angle slightly below the bolts.

2. Get a little bit of speed going, just a slight push.

3. When your ready to do the kickflip, pop the tail and then move your front foot up and flick the upper pocket of the board. That will make the skateboard spin, then (this is probably the hardest part) catch your board with your feet. This will take a while, but your feet will get used to it.
   
   NEVER GIVE UP!

Tips & Warnings
