Comments on: How to Do a Backside Kickflip on a Skateboard

on 7/11/2006 Find a quarter pipe or go into a half pipe. Ride up to the top and turn 90 degrees into a 50-50 position, but instead of sliding, balance on the top of the quarter pipe without moving. Then come off like a 50-50 grind.

on 3/30/2006 1) Find a ledge that you can ollie onto.
2) Pop the frontside ollie and turn it so it is even with the ledge.
3) Wait for the landing and push down.
4) Turn your board with your body and roll away smooth.
5) When you land make sure you land straight.

on 11/22/2005 Place your back foot so that the toe of your shoe is on the far edge (in front of you). Have your front foot in the kickflip position, but angled a little bit more.

Do not start turning until after you've popped your tail fairly high. Flip your board with your front foot and turn like a 180. Catch the board with both feet at about 3/4 of the way around. Keep turning until you land, and roll away.

The goal of this trick is to have it pop really high, not barely get off the ground. This is an easy trick to learn, and it looks really good if you do it the right way.

on 11/22/2005 1. Roll at a moderate speed(about as fast for an ollie). 2. Place your front foot on your nose and your back foot about mid board. 3. Slam your front foot down and slide your back foot backwards and even your weight out and land and then just roll away.
