"Hi my name is Evan Blakenship with expertvillage.com and I'm going to be teaching you how to kickflip. So you got a good placement a good flick and your getting your feet out of the way now it's all about catching the board in the air. So when you pop a kickflip if you pop it you know give it a good kickflip and you get your feet out of the way you have to wait until the board finishes flipping and you see the grip. Now it's time to put your back foot down on the bolts and you got to make sure when you do this that your foot is flat, cause if it's not the board will keep flipping and you'll either land upside down or you'll stick which is never a good thing. And most of the time you'll end up falling down so you got to remember when you land on your board always have your feet flat, and land on your bolts."
