Answer 3

Go to Youtube.com and search "how to do a kickflip" there should be a ton of results watch the first couple then go outside and practice till you get it.

Answer 4

put your front foot just before the front truck bolts and when you kick your foot kick it foward off the board right where the nose meets the flat. Make sure you use the side of your shoe and not the bottom to kick the board and kick in an angled sort of way towrds your back and front ( front meaning towrds the way you are going on the board). Then pull your feet up and out of the way and let the board just sort of come back to your feet

Answer 5

there really is no easy way,it takes practice.

~the setup~

put the ball of your back foot in the middle of the tail.

put your front foot slightly pointed towards the nose about halfway to 3/4 way to the nose , close to the heelside.

~the trick~

bend down low , then pop down and jump up like an ollie but this time you need to take your back foot off the board or it wont flip,on your way into the jump flick the board with the side of your front foot , you need to flick towards the nose and off to the heelside.that will get the board flipping then just make sure you stay over the board and when it flips,stomp!

~tips~

start out practicing them stationary and then work up to rolling.

if your landing behind the board try leaning forawrd more.

if the board is landing between your legs you need to practice keeping your shoulders in line with the board.

the kickflip takes practice but if you practice at it alot youll get it.

Good luck!

#1: Place your front foot right behind the second set of bolts right next to the bump in the design of your board. Have your back foot on the tail ready to ollie.

#2: Be on the balls of your feet in the beginning of the kickflip. Drop your backfoot just like an ollie. The second your tail hits the ground, FLICK your front foot off to the side of the board depending on your stance. I say flick near the Bump in your board because that small bump has always helped me maintain a good grip when I flick with my foot.

3#: The Motion is all in one. Drop your back foot, back foot hits flick your board with your front foot, and this is the HARDEST part for everyone learning this....STAY on TOP of your board at all times! It's tough at first. Many people kickflip and their board flys all different directions lol. Stay on top of your board when you flick..and wait until you see a full 360 rotation then STICK it!
