In the era before RUclips, you and your friends just learned tricks watching 411 videos in slo-mo. I learned 360-flips watching Steve Berra in "Tentacles Of Destruction".
I remember my first kickflip, it was when i was nine. I was outside for hours while my entire family was watching TV....except me. When I did it I was so excited that I ran inside the house and told them...even though my brother and I were the only skaters. It is those moments and these videos why I have such a passion for skateboarding. Extremely nice video......
I remember my first kickflip. I was fourteen years old and made it in my parents kitchen. This song, these kickflips... So beautiful. Makes me wanna cry. Som many fantastic moments i've had skateboarding with friends. So many feelings; frustration, happyness, laughter, joy, harmony, pain and so much Love! Thank God for skateboarding
This is the kind of skating I enjoy watching, pure skill and harmony. I started skating when I was young, i'm older now and skating is even more fun for me now (in a way), the possibilities are limitless, DAMN I love this sport yo!
Guys, if you're reading this, let me give you a life changing tip that worked for me. I was able to do most basic flip tricks with a a high pop and smooth, but somehow was failing 95% and couldn't figure out why for years. Turns out I was trying to land with my backfoot first and everything seem to land with an offset or would hit my front foot before landing. What I changed was: sent every flip to my front/dominant foot and not everything magically lands as i can easily readjust with my front foot mid air and still land with my backfoot on... hope this helps
Someday, kids will have super slow motion cameras on their pockets and I will be there to say: you kid's don't know how hard it was to sit on a computer and search for Adam Shomsky Skateology 1000 fps slow motion series. Yeah, it was not that hard. Thank you Adam. Wonderful job spreading the beauty of skating.
To get it to flip higher you need to suck your legs up more and have more of your foot on the board. The more of the nose you catch on the flick the higher it throws the board. Treat it more like an ollie and drag the foot up then flick off the nose in the same manner you would push your foot forward to level out your ollie.
Hard work pays off! If you watching this video and you want to land a kickflip so bad, as soon as you get done watching it go out and practice! I just landed my first kickflip today after 2 months of practicing my ass off. I know it wasnt super clean but everybody have a start. Sk8 Life 4ever!!
This is just what I needed to understand the actual motion of the trick. I needed a precise example and in all clips they did it the exact same way, which means that it consistently is the right move. Thank you very much for this video 🙏
Although it's not the slo-mo that makes it look so high, those flips are somehow high in skateboarding terms. I was a skater in late 80's and as a cameraman that i'm now, i can tell that it looks so high because on the low angle shooting and not so of the slo-mo. GREAT job guys in both arts, skate and camerawork.
Thanks for the tip. I read a tip somewhere that I think addresses the bigger issue of what I'm doing wrong. I tend to wait too long after popping and flick down rather than flipping it as my front foot slides up. I'm still trying to get a feel for ollieing while moving too. Its like I don't know if I'm suppossed to jump more off my front or back foot, and in these slo-mo's they have a ton of 'spring' without actually pressing the tail to the ground, which is difficult to figure the timing of.
i just landed my first kickflip, trick is to crouch down less, you ahve more control on your way up, hence smooth flick, nice spin, and better body placement to land it! good luck
I learned kickflips using the edge of my bed down in my basement bedroom..if you can find something that your arms can support you on while doing the kickflip stationary it should let you hold yourself up long enough to see the full rotation and catch when it comes around..just land them like that a couple times and you will get the idea..hope this helps ;)
@@drewhitsdingers4698 learn other staff before kickflip. Why you want to learn kickflip after ollie. First learn to ollie on something, ollie off something, ollie over something, shove its, pop shove it, frontside shove it, no comply fs, no comply bs, ollie bs, ollie fs. If you good in all these tricks, that is good time for kickflip. There is no necessary to rush kickflip. Kickflip is just a trick like every other trick. Ohh and btw heelflip is easier than kickflip, so i propose to give a try to learn heelflip first.
Mike Mo's kickflip tip to me was for slightly more advanced skaters. If you pop it in the pocket like Mo says and your board control isn't quite there yet the board might give you varial motions and stuff like that as you pop the board.
@deepfried456 its all about where you keep your weight (where you lean/balance over the board) i suggest for stationary having your weight on your back sholder, and for kickflips when rolling, have your weight a little further back. That might not be entirly accurate, i can never tell when im not on my board, but play around the where you put your weight, but dont forget to stay light on your toes and jump and flick out.
I don't know. Maybe I suck or something. I am a skater, I'm 30 and havn't skated since I was 15. Just got back into it again, after having a broken ankle. but I never really "understood" how to kick and flip the boards. I want to understand the science behind doing tricks and kickflips. How do I learn? Just keep practicing? Or is there certain ways to do these tricks?
flykicks94 Actually yes. I am getting better. It's been 2 months now and I can land an ollie and i can even do a double kick flip, but i can't land kick flips yet, and i am having a buddy at work teach me how to power slide. Next i just got to work up the balls to drop in the half pipe. That's going to be next lol. I'm so fucking scared lol. Since i started skating i've actually broke my hand, bruised my lung, cracked my collar bone, sprained my ankle and busted up my knee. But I go hard bro. That's what skating is all about. That's what makes a skater a skater. Someone who can smash their bones into concrete and get right back on the board.
Damn, you're right keep doing your thing bro you'll get better. Also congrats on the double kickflip ! That's why I love skateboarding so much, becaise no matter how many times you fall, you always get back on your board. And yeah haha the first drop is always scary.
flykicks94 I know. I have to accomplish my first drop in on a 6 foot vert. It's like scary lol. I know I'm not good enough yet, so I go to the top of the drop and just stare down preparing myself. I say about another 3 months exp I can do it lol. So far I am just street skating and practing ollies and kickflips. So far I am 2 months into skating.
Mike Green thats sick bro! i feel like im the only 26 year old that still skates for fun... i just do it to relax and chill out... i see these kids at the park better than me xD i wished i had more time to skate but school and work and shit lmao...
Notice how the board pops and lifts before they actually flick the board. If you're trying to learn a kick flip, try to really ollie and get it in the air before you actually flick the board. Think of it as an ollie with a flip afterwards. It's what has helped me doing proper kick flips.
thanks it really helped me learn how to do it. i just need to ollie higher then ill start that. i usually do a trick on skate 3 and slow it down so i could learn and well this is better quality
Thanks. I appreciate the tip. I guess I need to drag/flip even sooner after popping because I still can't land with my front foot on the board. Once I can get that down I think it will be alot easier to commit like you say.
i know im late on this one by 2 months and yea i did just that dude and in about a week i got my kickflips down ahahaha not the best but im improving them thanks for the help dude appreciate it alot
@deepfried456 Pop like a standard ollie but push your front foot forward but off the corner of the nose, I found when learning them that my back foot always landed on the floor making it more like a rear foot no comply kick flip. Learn to lift your back foot higher and forward a bit so it lands on the board.
No wayy, I remember you filming these out front of Riley. You had the 370z. Hyped to actually see all these clips cause you'd be out doing this everyday
If you're landed one footed you probably need to work on flipping the board faster. You can only stay in the air for a very limited time so if the board doesn't flip fast enough you have to put one foot down before it's finished flipping.
There is nothing on the Internet that's help me and I can flick it fine and I jump high enough and I can land my back foot but I cannot for whatever reason land my front foot it always lands on the ground no matter what I do. I've tried leaning back, keeping my shoulders parallel to the board, and flicking as high up as possible but there's nothing that can help me. Advice, anyone?
dude I had the exact same thing for a long ass time. back foot catch everytime never the front. I just tried it in the grass and got it like 3rd try. I waited a long time to do that cuz I thought there was no way that could help and was just something pussy skaters do but now I got them consistent asf and I can take em down pretty much anything. all because the grass mane
Yoooo that’s my local park. Riley skatepark, Farmington Hills, Michigan. That green building is an an ice rink 0:24 and the skatepark is behind the camera
this stuff is such a strong learning tool i learned how to heelflip from the slo motion at the starting of the girl yah right video anyeways your stuff is great just a suggestion could you get more of a roll up thank you for the cool vids I m going to subscribe
That's a commitment issue. You're afraid you're not going to catch it so your instinct is to step off of the board to catch yourself. Try to get it in your mind to commit fully to the trick, no matter what happens and I think you'll start to see that front foot getting back to the board.
It's all in the pop as much as in the front foot. Pop it clean and slide the from foot towards the nose and flick it with some authority. Bring your knees up to your chest and if you did it right, the board will flip and come up to your rear foot for a clean catch and stick the landing on bolts! Works everytime ;)
It looks so easy watching this video then you go try it and you realize your not actually in slow motion

Holy Moly and I thought my kickflips were high
The amount of pop is insane. Without being able to ollie this high, you would never have kickflips like this.
got my first kickflip today ! :D
Me too !!!!
@@LucasVazFerreira your a little late, happy for you though!
@@arxy. lmao
Hows ur kickflip now?
Those kickflips.. so fucking high
I can only kickflip like a foot high, this is crazy
Liam Silverman try sliding your foot to the very top of the board instead of flicking it off the side of the nose
AandCSkates
I do, my kickflips level out and bone.. but like, these guys are kickflipping higher than I ollie, or at least some are.
oh, yeah i see what youre saying maybe work on getting a harder pop "snap" of the tail and jump higher idk just trying to help (:
To get it to flip higher you need to suck your legs up more and have more of your foot on the board. The more of the nose you catch on the flick the higher it throws the board.

i love all your videos man. the music and everything. just discovered this channel gonna watch all of em!
skateboarding is an art and the world is our canvas.
Keep doing this. It's good for beginners studying tricks. I'm (finally) landing mine but I want them to look as good as these.
Are you still skating? And if so how good are you?
before this video kickflips were an enigma to me. definitely seein some progress after this vid thanks!

:D good to hear :) i've been skating for 2 weeks and just landed my first kickflip a day ago :P
Would it really have a bad effect on me if I just learn kick flip after Ollie or do I have to learn to 180 and stuff
GeneralFishy21 you probably wont need a 180 to kickflip but popshuvits are nice for getting the feeling of the board moving under you

whenever you see the board in primo (primo=sideways), or to say it another way whenever it makes a rotation of 270º

If you're landed one footed you probably need to work on flipping the board faster. You can only stay in the air for a very limited time so if the board doesn't flip fast enough you have to put one foot down before it's finished flipping.
The foot sliding is so important that if you make a small mistake then it messes up the kickflip completely.

Ayyy wassup
Thanks, I've been working on ollie norths to get familiar with the motion of moving my front foot back on to the board
That's a really good idea. I'm gonna try that.
The problem with my kickflips is that the board always shoots out in front of me
maybe you are flicking it too far forward, try maybe flicking a little bit more down and/or to the side? be patient and practise,practise,practise :)
Flick up more; having board fly forwards usually means you're dragging your foot too heavily against the board.
slide your foot towards the side then flick up:)
is it me or does it look like he's floating lmao
kenwacks floating he is

That's a commitment issue. You're afraid you're not going to catch it so your instinct is to step off of the board to catch yourself. Try to get it in your mind to commit fully to the trick, no matter what happens and I think you'll start to see that front foot getting back to the board.
1:40 DOUBL- oh nah you got it bro. nice catch.
your videos are amazing! they are like a tutorial for me.
It's all in the pop as much as in the front foot. Pop it clean and slide the from foot towards the nose and flick it with some authority. Bring your knees up to your chest and if you did it right, the board will flip and come up to your rear foot for a clean catch and stick the landing on bolts! Works everytime ;)
