If you can ollie than youcanprimoflip because thats all you do.Just get into the primo and keep your front foo ton the front wheel than push down the tail pull your feet up a bit and stick the landing.It took me like a day to learn this,so just practice and eventually you'll get it.

Yes primoflips are very easy , getting into primo is the hard part.
But if you want to cheat and just set it up so your in primo this is how to accomplish the flip.
Stand on the side of your board , your leading foot on the wheel , your trailing foot on the tail , but point your toes down on your trailing foot so that your toes are touching the bottom side of the tail. Put all of your weight down on the foot thats on the wheels.
Now to get the flip simply kick down and backwards with the foot thats on the tail and jump , it'll be pure luck for awhile to land it because it flips so fast but after awhile you just subconciously learn how much you need to flip it. Keep practicing.
I learned it one night when it was to dark to go skate anywhere , i think i practiced for about three hours straight , I landed and hit my chin on the ground three or more times but it was awsome when I started to land them consistently.

ok skeeter thats why you fell so much. you dont kick it back, you just kick it straight down. and you dont point your back foot down either, just keep it normal. you but your back foot right next to the back wheel, on the part where the tail just begins to curve up. then you just sort of jump off of your back foot, sort of the same motion as an ollie, and land on the board. its really simple.

Getting into primo is the hard part? I disagree. Well, for some people, it might be, but I'm certainly an exception then. For 2 years or so, I've stuck to strictly street skating. About a month ago...I was badly sick (still am, a bit)..so I didn't skate for a little more then a week. I got on my board, and in about 20 minutes of practice, was able to get into primo on the heel side of the board. The next day, I did not skate. The day after, I skated...still was able to get into primo most of the time, and then learned how to do it on the toeside. I think getting into it on the toeside is easier, but It's more uncomfortable for me, at least.
