Question

Can someone help me with my kickflips?

Answer 1

First you get on the board, then you reach a speed that you are comfortable ollieing (jumping). I assume you know how to ollie - push down on your back foot while sliding your front foot up the board and dragging it forward. Then you level your feet and bend your knees to absorb the shock as you land on the ground.

Since you are doing a kickflip you have to use your feet to flip the board while in midair. Then you follow through with the ollie and prepare for the landing.

It's hard to describe but here's great videos:

Good luck and have fun. Oh yeah, be safe since I have seen the worst sb accidents while attempting new tricks w/o proper padding/helmets.

Answer 2

get in to a Ollie stands but put your front leg a little bit off the bored and just pop the Ollie  and flick your front leg down and it would make the bored spin under you as soon as you see the grip tape stomp your feet  down and that's about it it takes practice but you will get it
