i guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I love any tips you can give me
@Zavier Garrett instablaster :)
@Jairo Jaxon thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jairo Jaxon it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
TO ANYONE WHO CAN'T LAND BOTH FEET: DON'T OVER COMPLICATE IT.
I had the same issue and i spent so much time researching it and trying to figure out why i couldn't land with my front foot on. This had got me absolutely nowhere. Don't listen to any tips, don't look for tutorials, just spend the time on your board to figure it out yourself. I sat there for a good hour, fully committing every time, and finally landed it. I went from only landing front foot, to being able to land my first kickflip over night. It's a matter of repetition. IT WILL CLICK.
Love this comment! It's so true, it takes time and focused practice but it will happen if you make it happen!
@@NeverStopImprovingSB glad u agree! no disrespect to ur tutorial or anything, its very well made. Comment directed to people who have commitment issues.
Ive been trying to kickflip almost everyday for 5 weeks and still can't land a single foot on it
Ur lying im trying for 3 months or something and still cant do it
@@erickk2459 Then maybe you just don't want it enough. Try it on carpet or grass, that should allow you to land it.
Learning this trick has been one of the most frustrating things I've gone through while picking up skating again. I can only hope that when I finally land one it will be that much sweeter. I epent two hours yesterday and did 400 attempts. I was drenched in sweat, my shoe was ripped to shreds, and my ankles were trashed but still wasn't able to make one. This has for sure been the hardest thing I've tried so far in skating.
Did you ever get it down? 🤞🏽
The way to drag the front foot is the best tip ever. I just got into skateboarding again after 20+ years and back then I didn’t know better than to kick down. Today, after only a couple of days back on the board, I landed a kickflip a couple of times due to applying the foot technique shown here. So awesome!
Same here, I skated briefly when I was around 12 or so, this was approximately 2002 so I didn't have youtube or even the slightest idea to try to research proper technique. The few friends that actually skateboarded were just as novice as I was so there was no help there, so I thought you were supposed to just put your front foot on the edge and just push straight down. I ended up quitting after not very long of skateboarding.
Now at age 29 after a few months of starting back skating and actually trying to learn things I've already learned so much more and have progressed quickly. I just wish I would have started back skating a decade ago....
I can’t even flip the board
If you keep landing graphic, just pull your feet up higher to wait for the full rotation. It sounds obvious but when I finally did it I started landing consistently.
Thanks man I'll give it a try👍🏻
Thanks, sounds good
when I try to do that then I just do like an ollie north landing my back foot only
Ok I need help, I could land it every time on command but now I can’t rotate the board all the way or I have issues getting my back foot on
I’ve watched Braille kickflip video and I kept having the trouble with the board going in front of me (but it would flip) and you saying to just commit and get out of my comfort zone actually made me land my kickflip, I’ve done like 5 in the past few minutes, THANK YOU SO MUCH
That's so good to hear my brotha! Keep it up!
That moment when u are batteling the kickflip and then this vid pops up
It's like it knows...

7:34 that was the meanest double kickflip I've ever seen!!! Solid land too!
2:27 who else saw the thing in the back

Ooh shit a rat

3:10 rip guy in the back you will be missed
F indeed
What??
good thing theres an ambulence in the back lol
Just landed my first Kickflip today, and damn it felt so satisfying! keep trying and don’t give up guys, it took me 6 months to land it.
FireyStaticX how far are you now
Lucky bastard im trying it for 5 months thinkin bout stopping
@@erickk2459 I've been trying for 4 years :'(
TheTurtle Sorry for the very late response but, I’ve gotten better! I’m still not consistent with Kickflips, but ever since I learned heelflips, and after that I just did heelflips a lot and got them consistent. Although I can’t really Kickflip, I still practice it so I don’t lose it.
Clunky I hope that you didn’t quit, you’ll regret it a lot.
I landed my first pop shove it today ;-;
How are you at the skating atm
How about now my guy
how bout now
What the hell the does ;-; mean I see it so much
God its the cringe version of the crying emoji
Kick flips are my nemesis, my krytonite. I've been skating for over 25 years now and the first trick i learned was the ollie and they are strong, reliable and true. I do shoves, tail and nose slides, nollie grabs with variations and i love transitions and bowls but try as i might (and by this time i must have tried kflips literally half a million times) i have never landed one. Not even by accident. I have been trying flips since before youtube! I understand them fully, i have helped others that are learning them to a point that can do them reliably but i cannot do them myself! I find myself trawling youtube videos hoping that one might contain a tip or trick that will make the difference but i know literally all tips and tricks related to this basic trick. The issue is i have being doing them without success for so long (a quarter century so far) that i have negative muscle memory and i think i'd literally need physio to unlearn them now. It's gutted me as i know it has stopped my progression into the world of flip tricks.
Dude! Thank you so much for specifying the 'pocket' as the sweet spot to slide your foot through. That was what i needed to hear. Other vids failed to clarify that very key point.
Dude, agreed. All these vids stressing to kick out the left side third of the nose (for regular). This is the perfect pocket.
This is one of the best kickflip tutorials . Good job 👍
Thank you so much dude! ✌️
I hope it is bc I can’t frickin flip the board
@draco_tttka. thx dude
Comming off a 6+year break (adulting, life, etc). I used to be able to consistently kickflip and I felt like I was relearning from scratch. I know this is a couple years old but I really appreciate the attention to detail you put into these. It helped me get my kickflips back
Great to hear man, thanks for taking the time to leave the comment! 🙏
Thanks for the advice this is one of the best videos I've ever watched yet good job mate 😃👍
My front foot touches the ground before my board does
Yeah same here.
Try to flick your front foot higher. This helped for me by just putting my front foot closer to the front bolts and a bit more in the center. Your front foot will go higher if you do it like that
Its because your flipping down. you’ve got to break the muscle memory. better to flick high and get rocket flips than no flip at all
Try jumping harder than you flick
Same here
Thank you for making such a great video and helping me land my first kick flip .👌🏽
Glad you're back Justin!
Thank you my dude!
Thanks I've been trying for three months and now I will apply some of your tips in my next session
Thank you for the helpful tips man. I didn't know about half the things you were saying people were having problems with, then you said exactly what my problem was and how to fix it. This has given me more confidence to try and not lean back when popping 👍
Stoked to hear that Bandino. Stick with it and you'll be on to tre flips in no time!
Good tutorial.Keep up the good work!
This was a great video, inspired me to go back out and try again. Thanks brother, keep it real.
I love your vids❤️ You explain and demonstrate everything very thoroughly, simply and clearly. So much quality tips 'n tricks. Thank you for helping grow the skater community bigger and better🤩🤩
Best kickflip tutorial I've ever seen!
Great tutorial!👍
Thanks for advice👌.keep up the great work.
Wow. "Being able to kickflip" has been on my bucket-list for 20 years.
I finally did it this morning, and your tips were extremely helpful.
What helped the most was the weird-ish foot position, with the explicit goal of landing an ugly, rocket kickflip.
It worked fine. Thank you from all my heart!
Eric, I cannot express how incredibly kind your donation is. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much! Also I am very excited to hear you landed your kickflip brother, that is fantastic. Keep up the good work and make sure to keep at it during the next couple of weeks so you don't lose it 😉
Thank you so much for all the amazing tips
trying my kickflips back to back with ollies helped me alot. The minute I started practicing my ollies more i started landing nice kickflips somewhat consistently and unlearned some bad habits. Ill usually try one or two good ollies before attempting a kickflip and I've started landing kickflips almost every time as a result. Also if you can already land heelflips, try ollieing, heelflipping, then kickfliping, because they all are identical in a lot of ways.
Can't believe I'm watching this.. Started skateboarding back in 2001, quit around 2010 and back on it since 10 days. Can't go as high as I used to :) Thanks for this!
really helpful thanks man.
Great video dude, I´ll keep trying.
Alright guys, so I'm trying something new. This video is in 60 fps (frames per second). What is your preference? 60 fps or 30 fps like my other videos?
more fps always better when it comes to videos with a lot of fast motion where people might want to pay close attention to small details :)
NSI Skateboarding [Justin Lauria] 60 for sure
Whats the size of your board?
60 fps
60 fps
yo tremendous help, i didn’t know were to aim my kick till you mentioned outwards from the pocket
This was a very good tutorial i love how you comment back to your fans. Anyways i got better now TYYYSM
Of course! I LOVE to hear feedback, always 🙏 Keep up the great work!
RAWK ON! I made the video @ 2:35. Seriously though, I tried to stay out of the way. Anyhow, pleasure meeting Justin. Really good video. Been battling the kickflip for a year now. But I'm 45yrs and have bad knees. I like the tip on moving the back foot off center to get a heelflip motion which throws the board into your front foot. Hitting the pocket seems easier now.
I lost kickflips and I was losing all hope in being able to do them constantly and this video helped sooooooo much thank you!!!!
Good to hear Drew, thanks man 🤘
this helped me alot thank you
Foot placement tip at 3:33 blew my mind and I just landed my first three kickflips. Thank you my dude!
Extremely glad to have been of assistance!! Rock on dude 🤘
thank you! i kept leaning back and didn’t understand why the board kept landing in front of me. this really helped.
Nice video !
Thanks for this tutorial, you should make more of these 😁😃
Man I wish I had youtube back when I was skating..
Me to man it was about 18 years too late. So I figured I'd start again 😁
Wow ty so much!! I have watched so many kickflip tutorials and yours is the ebst one by far. Before i watched this video is did 1/ out of 10 Kickpflips. After your Video i practice about 2 Hours like you said and now i land 8/10 kickplips auf warmup. thunmbs up!!!
That is so AWESOME! Keep up the good work!! 🤘
Thank u so much this really helped me a lot now I almost got I just need to practice more😀
This is so helpful most of this stuff I didn't know about
Thank you bro You helped me out with my Kick flips
This vid is so helpful other videos talk about flicking your foot but not really show you how to flick.
Your videos help alot man 👍👌👌 keep up the good work thanks👊
Thank you too for the encouragement!! 🙏
dope vid, hecka helpful
Great clip and very supportive!
Awesome! Very glad to hear that.
the best Kickflip video on RUclips
Great vid I subscribed
Best advice i've ever gotten for kick flips were to try bring your knees you your chest after your flick, and fully commit when practicing, just focus on both feet landing on the board, graphic or not. As long as you are getting both feet back on the board, all it is at that point is timing with hangtime.
That’s it. That’s the tip I needed to hear. I’m gonna do a kickflip
@@garretthilliard5348 you got this dude!
I’m gonna do it
Your tutorials are the best
Thanks for the helpful video, I finally learned how to kickflip!
No way dude, that is excellent!
very good explinations sir, finish the clip
That Ollie at they beginning though his back foot was on the whole time that was amazing!
awesome vid
Heel-flips have always been easier for me, but I’m determined to learning proper kick-flips 🤞🏽
same
When I try to do a heelflip it mostly goes in the motion of a hardlfip and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong...
Dude ...most likely the scooping during snapping your back foot into the Ollie.
@@ER_aka_RAM but im fine with ollies
Dude Not saying you’re unable to Ollie, but subconsciously you’re most likely scooping your back foot while flicking your front outward. That would cause a Hardflip by default
Wow. Thanks to your foot positioning tips, I got my first kickflip ever, while holding a rail in front of me. It was extremely ugly, low and rocket. Still, it was technically a kickflip, and I now can work on a cleaner one.
I'm also confident I'll soon be able to do it without holding anything.
Thanks a million!
Way to stick with it man!! Good job 👍
I just started getting back into skating after 15 years, I'm definitely guilty of trying to kick the board down. Glad I saw this vid!
Probably the most common misconception
Very very Good explanation with the board physics
Thank you for saying! :)
I love these videos
Thank u so much i just watched this vid today and unerstanded what i was doing wrong then i fixed and in about 6 tries i landed...thank u so much😍🔥🙏
I had an underdeveloped ollie when attempting to learn kick flips, so learning them was frustrating. Once I realised this I went back and brushed ollies up. Kickflips still took some time to learn but I saw improvement in my learning.
Gotta crawl before ya walk bro
Awesome vid.
Awesome comment.
This fully helps I highly recommend
best kick flip tutorial ever🤘
very helpful
Great explanation
Thanks broski 👊
Thank you, you helped a lot
Very glad to hear it!
hey bro ! thanks a lot for your tutorial ! though i think there is a little issue in your kickflip or at least you could improve it a tiny bit : you should kick the board further it would be way more stylish 😁keep it up man !
Thanks duder. I just cant get my back foot to land on the board arghhhh
34 year old lady falling hold on to something. Land it 100 times. Then try it again. It's all about repetition. That's how u get muscle memory
That's not an uncommon problem, so don't feel bad, but I really hope you can fix it! If you have a video of some of our kickflip attempts, I'd be happy to take a look for you :)
34 year old lady falling same
NSI Skateboarding [Justin Lauria] that was my problem to
That happened to me with heelflips you just have to commit with both feet then you can land it
This is the best intro no 🧢
I just landed my first 3 kick flips. This is the best day of my life
This video helped a lot
So glad to hear it!
Sweeper and layback grind tutorial, please!!
Thank you so much I have been trying for some days kickflips and I have been doing the same thing at 06:35 today I will try again.
Did you do it?
@@SebastianPerez-ls5yo yes I can can do it all the times and everywhere
I landed my first kickflip while watching this video, thanks so much for the advice
Congrats dude!! 🔥
He makes it look so easy
Great video helped me a lot but one thing is that when I try and land my kick flip my legs end up on either side of the board what am I doing wrong
Thank u for making this video! Helped me so much
My legend
thx, drake!
P-ville Skate Park represent! Great video!
6:40 I totally agree, I noticed a HUUUUUUUGE difference when I started to commit a lot more. About a week after I started commiting I landed my first kickflip
Very nice! Congrats :D
Dope
I’m so close to landing them, I got the rotation down sometimes they even turn into a double kick flip but I can’t land back on the board, Hope this vid helps
A really good tip to land a kickflip that no one really talks about is having to actually jump. You cant give it a half ass jump you actually really have to jump high and put in all of your effort
The intro clip is MUD park in wells branch!! I skate there all the time
For how small it is, it's actually a really sick park!
I need help when I try to kick flip my board almost goes into the pop shuv motion and does something like a 240° turn
Do you have any tips for flicking the board
could you make some videos using shaped board
AHH I remember those times were I'm just learning to kickflip and i'm always searching these kind of videos. Now kickflips are my Go to trick, and it's kinda boring for me to do. My best tip for beginners is to just have fun, dont frustrate yourself. I learned kickflips with my friends and as time goes I felt my progression, were I can kickflip while blindfolded.
Damn I’ve really been sliding my foot to the halfway point of the board the whole time thx for the help man
Love your tutorials bro!! Pretty well explained. How old are you and how old you started to skate?
I'm 32 and I've been skating off and on since I was 15! 🤘
@@NeverStopImprovingSB wow! Long time skating...wish you more years on the board 🤙🏻
What do i do if i cant get the board to come all the way around. It just stops half way trough
