ya well i have two, four stairs in my neighborhood. one of them has a rocky start with very limited set up then the other WAS perfect intill they put a fence up right at the landing. So ive been trying to kflip the 4 with bad set up (but good landing) and i can land back on the board just i slip off as soon as i land. I know your suppose to lean forward but i can never get the flip then so what do i do. i mean i tried it for almost 3 hours today and i landed it once rode away then hit a bunch of pine needle and then like the board just turned sideways.


P.S. i also have a really good 5 stair and a ok 6 stair but im scared of them haha.
P.S.S. Ive only been skating a year but i can like 360 flip off of 2's or small three stairs should i been trying to kflip a 4 or 5

Just pop, flick, and catch on the bolts, dont lean too far forward or backwards when you land, keep your weight centered. If the 5 has a decent setup and landing i'd try it.

Its 1 more stair, just commit a couple of times, worst comes to worst you fall. Falling on a 5 is barely going to hurt.

Stay over the board and get enough speed.
You should be fine.

well it kindda hard to get speed on the four stair cuz it only has enough room for 1 big push and a small one then your already fallen. lol

just dont pop TOO hard cuz it will be harder to catch it...and take impact or you will fall back and hurt yourself

if you can kickflip on flatground consistantly then you can kicklfip off stairs.

all you need to do is commit to your landing and you wont get hurt.

and bend your knees, it'll help you keep your balance better.
