JUS LEAN YOR FRONT FOOT FOWARD MORE SO U CAN POP YOUR TAIL AND MAKE SURE U HAVE YOUR FRONT FOOT IN K/F POSITION

Yeah dude, like he said, just do your tailside in a kickflip position, when your approaching the end of the obstacle then get ready bend your knees and lean foward so your tail gets clearance from the object your sliding then pop down right when you reach the edge, to flip the board just apply some pressure to the concave part of your deck, or just give it a little flick, not to hard or you will over rotate it, the best way to land tricks is to think of skateboarding as peaceful and graceful, not hardcore. People who consider skating hardcore get really big tricks but they dont look as smooth and usually end up in bails, when done carefully and graceful skating looks very tecnical and smooth, thats the best way for it too look. Another think when you come off the edge make sure you try and flick your board 90 degrees aswell then spot those bolts and bring those feet down with legs bent, roll away smooth and get props from your homies.

i found when kickflipping out you need to pop really quick and your front foot needs to kinda go level, not really slide (up).

Alright,I practiced some today,I'm starting to get the hang of them. The only thing I need is to get them really clean and more consistent.

you kinda just drop the nose down a little bit, then just pop on the tail

i keep weight on front foot and shift it when i flick so that the board stays in control and even.
