i no ur tired of hearing about kickflips but i need sum help on this

[notmartianmatt]

when i kickflip i can not get my whole body above the board. my front foot goes under the board slightly wen i flick my ankle. i can get my bac foot above the board but not enough so that it can flip freely. do i need 2 try and pop less or get my body higher?also do i have 2 kick my front foot out further so that it can get above the board?thanx in advance

You're flipping straight down instead of down and out. Flip it down and out and try jumping a litle higher and you should get it perfect.

just practice. no amount of advice will make you land something.

try puttin your front foot right behind your back bolt on your toe side front truck(sorry if that wasa confusing). thats how i learned them and i got them pretty quick after puttin my foot there. then once you start landing them just move your foot back about half an inch and more towards the middle of the board for more height

yeah the kickflip is something that u really can't tell someone how to do it. we can give u pointers but u gotta make it happen. its a lotta trial and error but once u get it ull be shocked that u didn't get it before. it's really a suttle movement. just keep practicing and learn from ur mistakes good luck

i have the same problem the board goes out in front of me and i can only land it 1 footed because when i kick out ir goes foward

im gettin better at flipping the board lower 2 the floor but i still cant get above the board. 2 flip the board lower i have 2 jump less so they kinda cancel each other out. k/fs r hard

[notmartianmatt]

i been skatin again and i think i try 2 bring my legs up 2 early and i just end up fliping the board really high. i want to flip the board lower but still get the height with my body so i can land it. anyone got any ideas?

yes...all you do is...after you flick the board give it some room to spin. To do this all you do is bring BOTH feet up and over the board. This is how you get your feet over it. If you jump higher all the board will do is go higher into you. Just flick it regularly and suck your knees in over the board

Try to flip it faster if youre board hits you, or else practice just learing to jump higher on a skateboard. It will come in handy later.
