HOW TO KICKFLIP ON A SKATEBOARD IN UNDER ONE MINUTE.
Step 1
To do a kickflip you need to have good foot positioning on the board. Your back foot should be at the end of the tail on the balls of your feet, and the front foot should be under the front bolt on a 45 degree angle.
Step 2
To get off the ground before you flick you need to pop. To do that you need to bend down with your knees and then extend them fast and swing your arms up. As you are jumping up pop your back foot straight down on to the ground. This should launch you up like the start of an ollie.
Step 3
To flick and get the board around in a 360 you need to slide your foot up the board after the pop. Slide your foot up like and ollie and then go on and angel towards the front pocket and flick your ankle down.
Step 4
Now when the board comes around catch it with your back foot and land. It might take a while to commit but when you do it gets really easy.
