Does anybody have any tips on an easy way to do Varial Kickflips. I can almost do them but it's hard.
PS.I hate the dicks who make fun of you if you screw up one kickflip. Then you do 20 more and make them eat their words.

Put your feet in the same way you would to kickflip. Don't put your back foot where you would for a pop-shove-it. The board usually spins that part by itself. Alright now try to spin the board a kickflip pop-shove-it 180. Jump side ways and keep the board under your feet at all times. If it doesn't spin the pop-shove-it then put your foot where you would for a pop-shove-it. If the kickflip doesn't spin quick enough then you need to put it in closer to the middle of the board. Always have balance when taking off or you will never land it. The most common problem is that the board end up landing a foot in front of you. To solve this problem you need to jump the same way the board does, you have to visualize where the board is going to land. Always have balance when taking off and always have the board under your feet. If the board is just plain spinning to slow then you need to move at a comfortable speed it should spin faster then. If not contact me. Never be afraid to land on the board because if you are then you probably won't land it. Remember NO FEAR

Thanks for the tip. I tried it and it worked. I also cooked up a neat philosophy earlier. Skateboarding tricks are just fancy jumps. Forget the board is under you until it starts flipping. Do a little karate kick with your front foot and a scoop with your back-foot. It's worked for me 8 times out of 10.

Learned something new about them. Keep the edge of your toe on the edge of the board and flick right when you jump and it works perfectly.
