  • The secrets to the kickflips are to flick the board during the ascent and to keep your feet above the board at all times
  • wear safety gear
  • skateboarding is a very dangerous sport and could result in a fatal and serious injury or death

Step1
Snap the tail against the ground like you would for an ollie.
Step2
Your front foot should be turned at a slight angle and in the middle of the board.
Step3
As you snap the tail, jump up with the board and flick your front to the side.
Step4
As the board spins, keep both feet above the board while it completes the flip
Step5
Once the board has completed the flip, land on the board bending your legs as you hit the ground to absorb the impact
