You got great tricks i can't even do shove's :) I ve been skating for 3months i tthink started last march 12. Well they said try to pop hard and jump, swipe it forward as you swipe towards the nose then flick faster.. but it really depends on preferences
Try different foot positioning and choose the best that fits for you (the one that flicks the best ) and enhance it to make it more better then go it with a high jump to land it :) i hope i explain it well
Don't crouch down so far. Don't angle your toes so much. Flick your foot harder, and flick it up and out so the board stays under you better. Make sure to keep you body straight up and down to keep the board underneath you.
what i would do is when u are trying to do a kickflip wear shorts instead of jeans it helps your legs to perform the jump and flip easier im still practicing my kickflips too and ive learned that clothing matters
flick it to your left (behind you) and up a little and it'll go all the way around easier. I suggest keep trying slightly different foot positions and ways of flicking it and you'll figure out the best way of doing it.
hey bro, i had the same problem but then i found a way to fix. find a railing or something to hold on that is about waste height and do a kickflip while holding on to the rail
I've been skating for 4 months now. I can ollie, fakie ollie, shuvit (not pop shuvit cuz for some reason my board just spins faster when i try to pop it), fakie shuvit, frontside 180, and flatland casper flip. can u help me with my kickflip?
I know your problem. 1st, your front foot, you need to put it in a position so that when you flick, its flicking to the corner pocket of the grip, not the nose. Second is you balence/ were you put your weight, You want to not lean back, but not lean forward, keep you weight centred and even. also, do it while moving, not standing still. Trust me, this WILL work with 2-5 days of some parcitce.
With your first one your doing it rite,ur scared to land on the board mentally not physically,this is wat everyone told me,,its not our height, u flip it and don't expect it to flip so u don't try to land, ur second one, drags, pop and flick in one motion,
your not flicking it your just oushing your foot down flick the bord dont just push down and dont be scared to land in the board. btw work on your ollie
i have problem too but not with the jump my jump is high enough my problem is that every time i do the kickflip its fliping and doing a varial but about your jump try to jump up and dont get that close to the ground . if someone know how to solve my prob please write (:

So after you flick keep your front foot out of the way and jump, don't be afraid, that's skateboarding :) don't give up bro!! :))

i learned kickflips just a copuple of weeks ago and had similar problems, try holding on to something to make you jump higher
Try to bend your foot after you pop it hard, and btw i already got my kickflips already :D
yeah sorry :D bend you leg, when you pop as you hover above your board bend a bit to let it flip :)
ohh great :) i wish my deck was 7-7.5 i dont want big deck like 8.5 :/ too big for me and i can't do flip tricks easy :)
how many months or days you've been skating?
BTw what are the tricks you've already learn?
Just try the position, the procedure that best comfortable for you, and enhance.
You explain it very well, but I can't jump very high.
flick it to your left (behind you) and up a little and it'll go all the way around easier. I suggest keep trying slightly different foot positions and ways of flicking it and you'll figure out the best way of doing it.
hey bro, i had the same problem but then i found a way to fix. find a railing or something to hold on that is about waste height and do a kickflip while holding on to the rail
Kick up not down , hope that helps !(:
btw the way whats the size of you deck? 7.5, 7, 8, 8.5?
Maybe you pop too early? You should pop when you're going up
when u roll it's easier at least for me
And don't just kick the board away, you bend your front leg as you pop and rub with your pinky toe and flick :) loosen your ankle :)
hey dude i have the same problem did u ever fix it
I try, And i try to bend my front leg, but its like it has to come down quick
I've been skating for 4 months now. I can ollie, fakie ollie, shuvit (not pop shuvit cuz for some reason my board just spins faster when i try to pop it), fakie shuvit, frontside 180, and flatland casper flip. can u help me with my kickflip?
I learned kickflips by holding on to two chairs and pulling my self above the board so I could land them. I can land them perfectly now every time
Your putting you back foot straight down with out jumping its the same thing as an olile(as the jump) only thing different is that u flick the board
i do the same bro im still trying tho
I know your problem. 1st, your front foot, you need to put it in a position so that when you flick, its flicking to the corner pocket of the grip, not the nose.

What do you mean by enhance.
Try to flick up because flick and sorda push with your flick so kick up
With your first one your doing it rite,ur scared to land on the board mentally not physically,this is wat everyone told me,,its not our height, u flip it and don't expect it to flip so u don't try to land, ur second one, drags, pop and flick in one motion,
I fixed some problems. But I still dont have it.
search for baskwith first person skateboarding! I learnt my mistake from that vid
your not flicking it your just oushing your foot down flick the bord dont just push down and dont be scared to land in the board. btw work on your ollie
When you flick suck your knees into your body
suck your knees up when you jump. You are bending your knees nicly at the beging but than when you pop, they like stiffin up. Flick up to not down
bend your foot? you mean bend ur leg???
i have problem too but not with the jump my jump is high enough my problem is that every time i do the kickflip its fliping and doing a varial but about your jump try to jump up and dont get that close to the ground . if someone know how to solve my prob please write (:
this guy actually lives with me his name is wyatt
try to slide your foot up and not forward
Ya I've already seen his videos.
Bro the easy way is holding on to something to make u jump heyer
you are not allowing yourself to go up when you go to kick it.
Your separating your legs your scared your gona hurt your heel
My deck is a 7.75.
I think you should jump higher :)
Your flicking down
Its easy
