How to Kickflip, SNOWSKATE STYLE.

[JoeyKovacs]

Ok, all of you new snow skaters. You're going to HAVE to know how to kickflip on a normal skateboard, if you are going to attempt them on snowskates.

Foot positioning - Same as a normal kickflip, but front foot a but closer to your back foot.

The Pop- Your going to really have to wait until the board pops up. You can't kick right away or it will do absolutely nothing. Really give it time to come up, POP HARDER than usual,
The Flick- It's no longer a flick my friends, its a kick. When your pop starts getting to about a 60 degree angle, your going to want to SLIDE hard, and KICK OUT!!! Don't Kick diagonal up, like a normal kickflip, kick UP alongside the board.
Landing- Chances are you will not catch this the first few weeks of snowskating. You are gunna have to trust your board to stay underyou, so you can land it. Really Concentrate on at least getting your feet on the board. Don't stress out if its not a perfect landing. This is a hard trick.

Additional Info- Try these off ANYTHING. Why? Because you won't get hurt! You fall in poofy nice snow!

WARNING: try to avoid doing them on ice. If you land off balance, you will slip, and die.

Very nice trick tip. Does snowskating help you keep your tricks during the winter when your not skating in the garage? What's a good snowskate? Is premier good?

[JoeyKovacs]

Snowskating DEFINATELY helps keep your tricks consistent over winter. It's probably the only reason i can still land stuff haha.

Get any snowskate from premier. I prefer plastic ones, but wooden ones are supposed to be good aswell.

I have Premier DangerGirl model. Yee.
