I just realized Maurio speaks and explains so well (for example, when he's explaining the importance of shoulders in the center of gravity)... he should have a section for himself here.
Maurio has a way with words for sure! Articulate and ready to rip 🔥
You you should always mention jumping forward when explaining tricks like this, you need to jump forward with the board in addition to all the excellent advice given here. Lots of folk learn the trick standing still and fail when rolling, same applies with Ollie's etc etc, jump forward with the board.
This is my favorite trick. The feeling of when your back foot catches the board, and you hear almost a slap sound, is the best. And yes, Maurio's kickflip is incredible.
It's like your skateboard gives you s high five for being awesome 😂
I love this trick. Been doing it for 18 years. I don’t even Ollie off or on stuff I go straight to kickflip. He has one of the cleanest kickflips in the game definitely one of my favorites
this is literally the best person to learn kickflips from.
Our thoughts exactly! Hope this helps skaters everywhere with their kickflips 🙌
This was great. I've landed a bunch of kickflips and I still can't land them consistently ever. One day I'll get it. Maurio and Santa Cruz are crushing it.
Great educator, and awesome he spoke on shoulders!!
Do more of these with any trick immediately!! Maurio Breaking Down The Physics Of The Game!! Salute!!
mario has THEE best kick flip PERIOD! so imma definitely watch! keep this series up!! loving it
Maurio drops some GEMS in this one for sure! Who do you want to see on the next episode?
@@SantaCruzSkateboards Fabiana or jake wooten!
@@GregSkinner Heard that! Would love to get those two in the mix! 🙌
@@SantaCruzSkateboards Kev for krooked grinds?
@@SantaCruzSkateboards braun!
After 1 and a half years i learned it a couple days ago and the 2 Things helping me the most was the momentum that u pop and Flip out at the same time and that u gotta lean forward. There are a couple of tutorials where they say lean back
Yes, especially when you walk, your weight should be more on the front foot than on the back.
This series is dope, keep them coming.
Love this new series! Fs Flip, 360 Flip, Halfcab Flip... keep em comin!
Really good video. I'm trying to improve my kickflips at the moment and this pretty much answered everything I have been wanting answers on. I think the questions the presenter asked Maurio were so helpful too! Oh and those flips are absolute butter
Is unbelievable how great this is, nice job Santa Cruz skateboards! Thanks Maurio McCoy and Andrew Cannon
I try this trick for years now, got the pop, the flick but can only land it with one feet and got that wrong movement stuck in my head that I can not change it so far, it is so frustrating. Maurio has a beautiful Kickflip
Can you land it two feet while holding onto something?
Practice makes perfect! The more you work at it the easier it will become 🙌
@@SantaCruzSkateboards thanks 🙏🏼
@@morphosis7655 really good idea.
Also pay attention to Maurios backfoot while he’s doing kickflips in action. There is a slight inward rotation in his leg and a few days ago I’ve noticed that my kickflips are way more controlled when I’m rotating my leg like this.
Too smooth! I heard that he invented the silent disco and doesn’t have an echo either
That is one steezy kickflip.
really nice tutorial. very good explanation. the guy knows what he's talking about & he has completely deconstructed the trick
I'm on my 3rd Mario McCoy vx deck right now. Thanks for the content!!!
which one did you get?
@maurcoy , so clean your kickflip
i had Kickflips on lock for a long time. Since i fucked up my ankle several times its gone. glad to have those videos
very good in depth explanation
Legendary kick flip
When he is flipping the board , his back foot is almost the same as Ollie, giving a nice and clean pop. Such a Very nice kick flip !
Really really great trick tip
Thanks You Maurio and all Santa Cruz crew/team!!🔥🔥🔥✌️😎 All the love from Réunion island 🙌
home town hero
Man those kickflips are cleeeeean !
Really great information. Not only were Maurio’s instructions awesome, Andrew’s questions guided the instruction really well. I’ve always sucked at kickflips. I feel like I learned something that might actually help.
My name's ethan. I liked some of the videos and more to come and subscribed to the channel and I counted all 33 kick flips. I've been trying to get a bigger board since last year and I started skating two years ago and I'm progressing really fast. And my current board is barely clinging to life. Missing chuncks missing out of it. I have only had 2 boards in during these 2 years and both are 3.1, I've been looking for about an 8. I don't have a way to get another board I've been looking around my town for one, I've asked people where I can get one. But I got nothing in my reach. And I saw this and I hope for the best. I really like skating it's an escape, and a daily challenge. I really don't want to stop now. So fingers crossed🤞🏻😌😬 (btw I've always wanted a Santa Cruz board).
Found out yesterday I MUST kick through the nose or they always rocket and I do a disgusting heel clicker type thing. Kickflips are finally becoming fun (skating 15+ years)
Maurio, tre flip next, please!! His kick flip is Oh So Buttery.
Simple easy awesome some dudes over explain
I ride regular and learning when I was younger I would have all my weight on my back foot and when I went to flick I’d be leaning so far back that when I flick the board would flip around perfect and flat and tail would come up but my body was falling behind where the board would be going out. Then I started keeping more weight over my front foot learned about loading the board before I ollied and that would help me stay more over the board. It was lot easier moving then standing still. When I stood still and did it. I would have to let the board do that roll back motion feel. Kinda like how you would do a tech deck lol
Thank you my hero❤
Would love to be able to skate like maurio dudes a legend
Popping and flicking like how he does is super hard
plz do one for tre-flip
Love that idea! 💡
@@SantaCruzSkateboards what trick is next?
You make me wanna skate my tyshawns.. best shoes!
great!! i have to "relearn" the ollie, hardware in the left ankle, never stop!!🔥❤️🛹🤙🏽
Keep pushing! 🙌🔥💨
oh guys love this it's crystal clear 🤩👍 now need to try fail learn try again fail learn try again fail learn try again...🤞
Great video.many people can do em but not good
Heath and Kerry had the best kick flips when I grew up but this generations best kickflipper is for sure Maurio
hey please make a frontside flip tutorial
That kickflip is so unique and clean but I have one question please, about the trucks. How Tight is your trucks? Is it very tight or medium tight? 🛹❤️
I really like the way you explain how to do stand, the center of gravity and the shoulders how to keep them straight. I think 🤔 what you are doing is really helping lots of people how to skate ❤️👍🏿🛹🛹. Keep doing this man 👍🏿😊 I watch your videos every day and then go out and practice the the tricks 🛹🛹🛹🛹
Thank you
very good❤
Here for the giveaway!
So proper 🔥
cool, those are the questions that many people want to be answered and are afraid to do to not bother anyone xD
the key to the kickflip is all in the shoulders to keep that center of gravity (otherwise the board does not stay centered under u) its not in your feet ironically lol
Next backside 360 please.
Good video 👍☺️

@@SantaCruzSkateboards My Bad I meant to say I have the Santa Cruz Maurio MCcoy deck Gripped and ready!! ~See part 12!
@@RegularFootisChris Ah, gotcha! That's so sick! Ready for those kickflips? 🙌
@@SantaCruzSkateboards Thanks Andrew, I will Definitely attempt Several!!
3:05 where did he go
I want to kickflip like this. Please.
I learn this in my 2 month of skateboarding but im already late. start skateboarding in 16 years olds and now my need to rest a little bit because I sprained my toe
O ! Maurio ~
This is the one trick I know I have on the pro level I kick flip like 3 boards high on my normal ones and I catch it both feet and stomp
thank you now i will go outside and full flat on my face trying to land the kickflip stunt man style.
Tryna get my kickflips like maurios
I know he says it is all in the flick but his pop with the backfoot is lightening fast.
with my kickflips i bring my back foot up too much so i have to focus on not bringing it up so high.
I’m the opposite my back foot never goes up no matter how hard I tryyyty
Hey what size is your board
What shoes are those?
Adidas Skateboarding Tyshawn Mids in Cloud White / Core Black! 🔥
i can switch flip and nollie flip pretty good but my kickflips are trash lol u lose them so easily if you dont do them everyday, in my case anyway...
Am I the only who can send but still watch Ollie tutorial 😂😅
Anyone know what shoes he’s using?
Adidas Tyshawn pro model
Which adidas are those.
Tyshawn mid
when im trying to do it switch i just cant jump and then flick, its like my leg is dumb and wont listen to me.
my body always wants to jump back when i flick instead of jump forward and flick.
@@32srt32just spend more time learning to get comfortable riding switch and learning to Ollie switch better it helps train the popping foot. I learned switch flips first try but it took me months to get them flicked properly
Took me along time to realize my rocket flips were because I didn’t put enough weight on my front foot
He does like at least 2 kickflips
His flip is way better than his ollie
1000
Imo, kickflips are so much effort. Heck, 3flips are easier
I learned kickflip within 5 tries over 20 years ago 😆
Hey, how about your eyes? I guess you just pop and kick blindly in the air...
Your about six years to late 😂
funny how pros have no clues about how they what they do lmao
there's absolutely no interesting insights in his explanations
(beautiful flip tho)
The best explanations I have ever heard are from 'Skate Hacks' for sure. Or VLSkate. Decent/above average skaters who aren't pro but are a lot better at explaining than pros. probably because pros are usually virtuosos who have had skating come more naturally to them as kids. they can't explain the mechanics because they haven't studied them on paper and the motion just comes naturally to them. can't communicate that innate feel and sensation.
There's a lot of incorrect bio-mechanical and physics advice in this video. He knows how to kickflip well and what he thinks helps or fixes issues is not really the root cause of the issue. For example shoulders don't do much influencing of the board's directional input (you can tweak out you shoulders and KF very well), but what he should have known is vertical body axis positioning does a HUGE amount. He probably fixed his body vertical body axis by adjusting his shoulders which aligned his axis correctly. That worked for him and HIS issue but that's not the fix for others with an aligned vertical body axis. It could be sticking your butt out more, less curve in you back, more open shoulders etc etc ... it's personal regarding how you fix that and the old advice of aligning your shoulders is typically bad advice for a crowd.
He's also got the physics of how the rear foot kicks down the tail wrong. drop a weight on the left or right side of the tail and video in slow motion what part of the tail hits the ground... it's the center tip of the tail. it's all physics.
I definitely agree with you here. Like Luan for example, he has his shoulders open when he’s doing kickflips and 360 flips as well.
I’ve been trying to land them for so long but my back foot dosent go up. My feet always land before the board even though I have solid ollies. ppl telling me it’s a commitment issue ruined my confidence real baddd
I don’t even go to skateparks anymore
You can’t give up man! You’ll feel so good if you just keep trying and then finally feel comfortable there!
