Nollie/Switch flips

[McJesus]

Ok this is like my last nollie flip thread. The thing is is i am trying to learn nollie flips except i am having trouble again. Lemonade man inspired me to take them up again. should i just try to first land half nollie flips then flick harder just land the whole deal. My main problem is sucking my front foot up and landing on the board. i can sometimes suck my front foot but it doesn't get on the board. How did you learn it? Please dont say by holding on to a rail

What makes Nollie flips hard is the awquard position your switch kick foot gets in. It's really hard to look foward and do them but can be mastered. It's not really complicated enough to need detailed insructions because it's just the opposite of a fakie flip. Practice practice practice practice. Switchflips and Nollie flips will come at the same time but you may prefer one over the other.

I have found that if the front foot is on the edge of the board, with most of the foot hanging off, it is much easier to flick and keep both feet well above the board.
