Kickflip Help PLEASE!?

Question

I can varial kickflip well and tre flip sometimes but for some reason i cant kickflip cuz the board always turns what is it?? like what should i do?

Answer 1

ok, to kickflip, set your feet up on the board, put your front foot a little bit behind the front bolts and like have it half way on the board, and put your other foot in the middle of the tail ready to pop, then your going to pop the board and flick your front foot up and off to the side, so your board should rotate all the way around, wait for the grip tape to come around, and then you catch it with your back foot at the bolts and land it.

sorry i kind of suck at explaining this...

anyways hope that solves your problem, just keep practicing you will get it eventually

good luck!

Answer 2

it sounds like your scooping your back foot when you do it, focus on just popping straight like you would for an ollie...youll get it man

Answer 3

since you put it like that it seems that you give your board an extra unnecessary scoop

just do what's listed down here

1) foot your foot position on the way you would ollie but put your front foot at a 45 degree angle with your heel hanging off.

2) pop your board and slide your foot up towards the nose of the board and the tip of your foot would hit the side of the nose causing the board to flip.

3) stay directly above the board and wait for the grip tape come back.

4)catch the board with your back foot then bring your front foot onto the front set of bolts.

5) make sure you stay balanced so you don't pivot off a wheel, there's your kickflip!
