Damn... you’ve got a picture perfect kickflip... I also just want to say thank you because my goal for quarantine is to learn how to kickflip. I’ve been jumping back and couldn’t figure that part out. Everything else feels good, so I’m happy to watch something that addresses my problem! Looking forward to some more videos from you!
this is honestly the best tutorial for kick flips! i landed my first kick flip holding onto a fence and i was super stoked and my confidence sky rocketed and this vid helped out a lot for the staying centered over the board, thxx
I always gotta remind myself to roll my ankle for the flick. And angle the front foot. Ninja kick out fully extended off the board to the side and bring it back down 👍
i'm gonna go try all this now to improve mine. i definitely am in the habit of rocket flips (check my progress vid) great video Chris, looking forward to more trick tips!
That's a fax for sure. Many people learn their kickflips with a pretty much bad foot positioning, that get them into bad habits, that are hard to encounter in a long run. Good that you're talking about that in this video! People will definitely be thankful for that :D And yes i'm the one that learned them kind of rocket, but I was/am still in that learning proccess and i'm not getting that habit anymore, just practising them with more steezzzz xd
@@Meardd the only problem I have is I got the flick down but my one foot catches and that is the back foot I skate regular and it’s hard to get my Front foot on.. any advice or tips lmk 🤟🏻😎
Vro thank you i really really hate kickflip because its so hard and i didn't give up so i search kickflip tutorial then i saw this, thanks vro keep it up you earn sub from your number 1 Filipino fan here (that's me) hahahaha SALAMAT (Means "thank you" in english) ❤️🇵🇭
Do you have Instagram or something where I can send you a video for skate support? I’m running into an issue now where I’ll flick my the board won’t fully rotate cuz my front foot bonks it. I have landed probably 10 kickflips in the past some barely rolling most stationary
I try and try but I cant flick it at all...my foot keep sticking to the nose and My foot doesnt flick, I try to flick it off the side so I can flip but it just does the same thing and sticks
My biggest problem is the mental block after I flick my foot will always land on the floor not on the board but my back foot land at the back . Any solution?
You just have to commit bro. One day you have to finally tell yourself you're gonna commit to it fully. One thing that helped me is doing it in a sandbox
I’m confused does it matter which way I flick forward or backwards because it’s really awkward feeling to flick backwards. Is it still a kickflip if I flick forward?
Wym? If you flick the opposite way your toes are facing that's a heel flip, if you flick the way your toes are facing its a kickflip, if you point your toes down when you flick it's a kick flip but you're doing it wrong
Try to get used to more tricks first. You can try it but it’ll come easier the more you’re familiar with other tricks. I think you should try to learn a pop shuv
Because the closer to the tail you put your back foot the sharper you're going to raise the nose.. which causes the rocket flip. You can keep the board more level and the rotation smooth if you bring your foot in a bit.
@@israelsrealm thanks, Since posting my question 8 months what I've learned is when you put your back foot on the tail closer to the bolts it pops quicker - your foot has less space to travel down to pop the tail. When you place your foot way out on the edge of the tail you foot has to travel farther to make the pop. It can help prevent rocket flips if the timing works better for you. Most people move their foot closer in for nollies or switch because that is often a weaker foot and needing to travel less distance for the pop can help.
Ok sooo I keep trying to land my kickflip for a while and I got the flick good by back foot lands but every time I try it my front foot doesn’t land I get so frustrated last time I threw my board and I kinda stopped trying my kickflip and please please can someone give me a tip for my front foot to land in the board
Ay bruh can I send you three videos of my kickflips cuz I cannot for the life of me figure out why I can’t catch this bih. I get real good rotations (sometimes even triples) but I can’t land my front foot
I agree without a nice pop on the tail it won't work, I started focusing more on a nice clean pop and also not flying past my board. It's been about 6months for me and iam maybe a week away from having them on lock.
@@Meardd no but seriously when I try to kickflip I do everything right but when I flick I end up doing like a varial motion (not forward flip), I flick on the side of the nose and I don't know why it does that, plz help

Shelby B thank you for watching and good luck with your kickflip! :)
That’s my goal too!😂
Did you get it down? I bet you did. Keep going strong. I subbed too. Take care and keep shredding.
@@JefeDeJefes8484 yes, I did! Hoping to create more content on RUclips this summer. I have some vids of my kickflips on Instagram and TikTok :)

Nice motivation , good flip tips, im a fan! I just turned 50 and I want my kickflips on lock 🔐
No BS... no wasted time. Just advice, great video and I'm so close to landing one... today maybe? lol.
I agree with the part about losing them it’s a frustrating trick to get on lock and a nice flick

Meta Realm thank you for the sub and like 🙏🏻 make sure to turn on post notifications ! Good luck with your kickflip man ❤️
For sure dude! And thanks for the luck! I landed it, sketchy but landed. Now to perfect and start workin on that Heelflip
How’d you get that Pokémon grip tape? It’s sick
Made it myself with clear griptape :)
Chris Meard that’s dope bro. I’ll try and do that on my new deck
This really helped now I know how to kick flip
Should I delay the flick or do it as soon as I pop ?
Sick video man 🤙🏼
This a great vid but I can land kick flips but I flick down, any suggestions I’m very stuck and extremely frustrated
Thanks ! Now I land it 👌🏼
Congrats (:
Thanks man helped a lot just subbed
holy shit the kickflip is steezy AF
Everytime I do it I smack my shins?????
Super educational
Its been like 4 months and still cant kickflip bro i keep flicking down its a habit now
Can you do the flick tutorial
I can switch heel and heelflip and back heel, i even can fs flip but i cant kickflip at all
Thank you!
i’m having trouble landing it i can only land with one foot
Do you have Instagram or something where I can send you a video for skate support? I’m running into an issue now where I’ll flick my the board won’t fully rotate cuz my front foot bonks it. I have landed probably 10 kickflips in the past some barely rolling most stationary
I’m not sure about the “half kickflip” idea but if it helps you go for it
Yooo this actually helped me so much
I try and try but I cant flick it at all...my foot keep sticking to the nose and My foot doesnt flick, I try to flick it off the side so I can flip but it just does the same thing and sticks
what if i stop a spinning my board while i land kickflip?
What?
@@delirium3766 problem was in timing, i landed kickflip
My biggest problem is the mental block after I flick my foot will always land on the floor not on the board but my back foot land at the back . Any solution?
You just have to commit bro. One day you have to finally tell yourself you're gonna commit to it fully. One thing that helped me is doing it in a sandbox
@@delirium3766 now already land it bro! Feel so good and I cant stop kickflipping 😂 most satisfying ever.
i need help flicking the board. my board doesn’t even spin
I’m confused does it matter which way I flick forward or backwards because it’s really awkward feeling to flick backwards. Is it still a kickflip if I flick forward?
Wym? If you flick the opposite way your toes are facing that's a heel flip, if you flick the way your toes are facing its a kickflip, if you point your toes down when you flick it's a kick flip but you're doing it wrong
Idk why but I’m more close to landing my first varial flip than my first kick flip
Finally I tutorial that I understand
Can I go straight to learn kick flip when I already master Ollie and front side 180??
Try to get used to more tricks first. You can try it but it’ll come easier the more you’re familiar with other tricks. I think you should try to learn a pop shuv
Chris Meard ohhh thanks for the advice
OK so every time I kick flip it lands on the bottom even if I'm flicking hard
why do you put your back foot in the pocket of the tail rather than closer to the edge/end of the tail?
Because the closer to the tail you put your back foot the sharper you're going to raise the nose.. which causes the rocket flip. You can keep the board more level and the rotation smooth if you bring your foot in a bit.

Pokemon cards under the grip so 🔥
Hey can you help me? when i try doing a kikcflip the board just flyes away from me and it doesnt even work to lean forward
Try to fix your flick. When your board goes away from you it’s because you’re kicking it away from you rather than doing a flick up
Chris Meard ok thx
someone please explain to me his pokemon grip
Nice vid man.👍
Wgi Gogeta thanks man 🙏🏻
I subbed nice channel btw
What size board do u have??
Jordan44 8.38
Chris Meard cool I’ve been skatin a 8.2 but I just down sized to an 8.125 I slowly want to get down to 8 for easier flip tricks
honestly i dont have fear of landin this trick but i cant flick the board consistently or land
practice makes better! Keep at it man
Ok sooo I keep trying to land my kickflip for a while and I got the flick good by back foot lands but every time I try it my front foot doesn’t land I get so frustrated last time I threw my board and I kinda stopped trying my kickflip and please please can someone give me a tip for my front foot to land in the board
Try flicking out all the way to the end of the pocket. That should give you more time for your foot to be over the board
@@Meardd ok I will try that :)
@@Meardd imma go try that real quick
Ay bruh can I send you three videos of my kickflips cuz I cannot for the life of me figure out why I can’t catch this bih. I get real good rotations (sometimes even triples) but I can’t land my front foot
Crescent yes u can. Send me to me through Instagram !
Chris Meard thanks g! I messaged you 🙏
0 dislikes that’s how u know this helps hella
🙏🏻
Bro I almost landed it with you’re tips thank you so much idk why ur not blowing up 🔥
I agree without a nice pop on the tail it won't work, I started focusing more on a nice clean pop and also not flying past my board. It's been about 6months for me and iam maybe a week away from having them on lock.
