How to do a kickflip?

Question

I skateboard and I just can't kickflip, anyone got any tips?

Answer 1

The most common mistake that people have is that they're too scared to land on the board.  So even if you can get the flip and everything, you end up landing on one foot.

Answer 2

get into ollie position and sorta do an ollie but slide ur foot of the board and to the side u can see better here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubTl3iPPi...

Answer 3

Line your front foot up about 2 inches behind the bolts and if your goofy footed your front foot should be on the right side of the board and if your regular your front foot should be on the left side of the board with your heel hanging slighty off either way. Pop an ollie and instead of just sliding your front foot up, flick it off the edge and notice i said flick and not kick. Don't let this trick get to your head you, will get it. Don't be afraid to land it either. Good Luck

Answer 4

well it helps to Ollie high and stay in the air for a long time.  When you ollie you slide your foot up the board. usually in the middle. now when you kick flip you slide your foot up but to the side. there is a little bump close to the nose and tail. that's the are where you want to slide your foot...instead of just sliding tho you want to sort of kick it in that area.
