can some1 tell me how 2 get over the fear or somthing cuz i want2 do this trick completly SO bad

Answer 1

try to do it without looking down at the board, it actually helps for some reason

Answer 2

it sounds like you got the flip down, now its mind over matter.  Try practice on a freshly cut lawn so there is noway that the board can slip out from under you.  Get a fell where the board is gonna land and jump to that spot.  Skating takes balls, and you need to commit to a trick when your attempting it.

Answer 3

if you practice on carpet then just picture in your head that your landing the trick and commit to landing it and you just cant be scared(if you watch any mike v instructional cideos he'll tell you the same thing).

Answer 4

Find a soft place you can land if you fall. Just keep trying and don't be afraid of the pain.

Answer 5

carpet wont give you enough pop. put it half way in the grass and halfway on your driveway, that way the board wont shoot out when it lands. dont be a *****.

Answer 6

practice on the carpet. everyone has the same exact problem when learning to kickflip
