Skateboarding Help! Kickflip.

[hippohumper]

Wow, it's 1 of the easiest trick's. But all you have to do is, place your foot on the back of the "tail", then put your left foot on the middle/middle part of the board. Then pop the board as if you were to do an Ollie, then you "slide" your foot accross the top part of the board. Then as you go up keep your knees bent while in the air. Then bend and land on the board as you go down. There you go! @@@@@@@

And what if he's goofie?

ride at medium/slow speed at first. . .

set up::
backfoot on the tip of the tail on the center hangging off alittle
frontfoot about middle of your board and slightly point your toes to the nose of your deck

1. pop a clean ollie like you normally would
2. then give a flick with your front foot's toes
3. watch it come around
4. put your feet on the the bolts
5. land and roll away


have fun once you learn it flat ground you can

take it up/off ledges, kickers, vert, to grinds, out of grinds, change it into a bs/fs flip, to manuels, off manueals, its a very versital trick

enjoy

when you flick the board kinda kick your foot a little bit off the nose so the board kinda evens out

OK sure you place your foot on the back tail but for your front foot it does not matter if just your toes are on to flip it or half your foot. you do whats most comfortable for you. Don't try and do it a way someone else does unless it works for you. Just pop it with your back foot, slide forward off to the corner and let it flip. Lift both your legs up high after that. If its rolling on the ground or the back isn't going up then your sliding your front foot off too soon. Just a matter of timing. POP-->SLIDE-->FLICK

If it flipping fine but your just missing it, then your either afraid of landing wrong on it and moving, or just pushing it away yourself while doing it. Its a pain and can be frustrating but you will get it.
