[blindax220]

hey when ever i try to kick flip i either get the full spin and sorta just flost away from the board about 6 inchesin the direct5ion i flick my foot.but when im on top of it i alawys cath it to early and screw it up.

practice, practice, practice. that, and read the How to Kickflip post. thats what its there for.

u should try and flick sideways a bit more so u don't jump backwards. and u could also try pushing ur feet out 2 the sides when u jump 2 give ur board time 2 flip.

hey tryhard_skater, i can spin my board perfectly bu i cant get enough air. how am i suppose to jump after the spin?

[son_gohan]

keep your feet light, if you're all tense and nervous, it's hard to kickflip. but be sure that when you land your ankles aren't so loose that they flip over. rolled ankles aren't pleasant.

lift ur legs

[The 900]

how should i lift my legs? should i kick um out, or lift um up? i need help!

[The 900]

i tryd lifting my legs up but i still landed first. im doomed. i need some serious advice!

[hullo]

900 what you should do is just suck up your legs and try and land on the board. Keep the board underneath you and look beneath you. When it's done flipping land on it.

thnx hullo but still how am i suppose to jump so high from the start?

[The 900]

oh yeah, do i need sk8 shoes to jump higher or something?

[notmartianmatt]

i have the same problem as 900.

[iamflameboy]

look on the thread which is stickied in the trick tips and that should help you out....

[tryhard_skater]

it helps if u crouch really low, kick ur front foot out and lift ur back1 up
