Today was the second day that I've been working on varials, and I'm landing them with one foot. Considering it took me about a month to shuvit and 4 months to kickflip, I think thats pretty good.

If you got nice kickflips itll only take a couple more days. mabey just 1 if you really work on it.

Haha, no way bro my kickflips are weak. I only land them 1/3 of the time, but most of the times I land them they are clean. Tomorrow I'm gonna work on all varials. Maybe 180s too cuz I'm pretty bad at those.

Varial flips are one of my favorite tricks.

One of my friends can't kickflip, but he can varial well. Since I saw he could land them, I just decided to try them.

a lot of kids learn to varial before they can kickflip
that's a bad idea, it'll take them a lot longer to learn kickflips since their back foot is so used to scooping motion.
heelflips and varials are both easy tricks to master in a small amount of time
i landed my first heelflip 5th try
ever

Yeah for some people it's easier to do heelflips than kickflips. I'm not one of them lol.
You should learn 3 flips... varials are gay unless it's a flip out from a nice long manual :)

To be honest I think varials are the worst trick ever. Nobody does them ever.
If you're going to do a varial, make it a varial heel please, normal, fakie, doesn't matter.
But if you insist on having a kickflip variation of a trick, either kickflip or tre flip.
thank you. :)
oh and i'm not bashing you or anything, i'm just saying i dont like varials.

Varials can look very nice if caught good with a nice landing. NIce job though.

I almost have them, they're landing under me, but I can't seem to catch them. It's weird, when I skate, it's like I can't control my foot and move them where I want when I land. I gotta work on that.
