put your front toes right between the screws and flick a little bit diagonal all the way up the nose to get a buttery flip. Also levels out your board really well and sets you up for a clean catch. Keep your toes as straight (unpointed) as possible. That’s if you have a powerful enough flick. I learned this from one of my previously sponsored friends with one of the cleanest styles I’ve ever seen.
It make it flip super fast and suck to your feet too. I used to love doing them that way but my kickflips now just look way better and are more consistent and comfortable
@@resinds.p4898you need to keep your back knee bent higher/for more time then. Hang on a pull up bar and tighten your core and practice lifting your knees as fast as possible, you’ll get there.
I nearly landed my first KF at the weekend. 43 years of age and getting back into skating. When I used to skate when younger there was no RU-vid , I could Ollie and shuv but not much else as it was mostly word of mouth and I didn’t know too many other skaters where I lived.
Dude same! 43 and havent really sksted since being a teen, and just got a board yesterday. Feels so good to be back on. cant wait to land my first kickflip as an old timer lol.. "Lets Gooo!!" 🙏
Same, older skater here(47). KFs was dark magic wizardry pre-RU-vid. My kids brought me into it again and it is great fun. KF progression and I will land them.
Daaaaammmnnn i literally had trouble with my kixkflips seeing this short literaly made the difference thank you!!!! Now i just have to land more times then not
I was able to kick flip before I started finally getting back into skating and I started to get them down crispy then sprained my ankle it’s like I’m flicking down cause I’m scared of getting hurt again 😭
Jup, it looks like it, I skated the shoe and it wasn’t bad at all (stopped skating in them cuz the outsole was dead) Now I skate in sb dunks and I prefer those, because the’re way easier to put on and it feels like that gum outsole really IS a difference maker.
