on 9/13/2006 Start off by putting your feet like an ollie, except your front foot should be slanted. Ollie, but instead of dragging your foot up, drag it diagonal. When the board flips, catch it two feet over the trucks and roll away.
on 7/24/2006 Line up your feet, as if you were doing the ollie, except have your front foot slanted off to the side. Begin to bend your knees and pop the board as hard as you can. Bring your legs up high so you don't hit the board and screw up. When you see the grip tape, hop on and roll away.
on 11/22/2005 Don't be afraid to land! Some people fail to progress with this trick because they are afraid to land. Try to keep your feet straight above the board. Concentrate on going in a straight line too. Also, don't kick the board so hard that your board goes flying in front of you. You don't have to do a ninja kick. Also remember to try this flip trick while moving. If you don't, then you probably won't be used to moving while doing this trick, and could hurt yourself. Don't be afraid to fall a couple of times. Don't think that you failed 20 times on the kickflip, think that you found 20 ways not to do a kickflip. Don't give up!
on 11/22/2005 1. Line up like a kick flip, only have your front foot a little more off the side.2. Face the nose of your board.3. Pop the tail up and flip the board while your body (not the board) turns.4. Keep your eye on the board. When you come around and you can see the grip tape of the board, place your feet down.5. Bend your knees and land smoothly. If you don't, you'll fall fast.
on 11/22/2005 Start out by putting your right foot or left on the tail of your board and your left or right foot on the edge of your skateboard. Then push down on what ever foot is on the tail and ollie really high and with the other foot just kick straight down. Wait till it flips once and then bring your feet down so the grip tape is up. When you land, make sure you bend your knees or you will fall, then ride off.
