ahhhhhhhhhhh! i can not do a stupid kickflip gosh!

ok i know that ther are 5000000 posts about kickflips of people who try it 10 times then come inside crying and post another kickflip thread! but i have read almost every post there is and it just dosnt help me!


this morning i went out side and for a strait 2 hours all i did was kickflip over and over and over and each time i tried the same thing over and over and over. i tried tucking my feet in and touching my feet together(it helps) but ever time my front foot land 1 inch away! my front also lands a little bit before my other foot!

how do i do it all i need to do is find out some way of bringing my foot back on the board so i can land the damn trick!!! ahhhhh

dont touch your feet together...

concentrate on the front foot, the back comes naturally

[evilcheese00]

just keep trying it 2 hours a day for two weks then youll have it

[Freaky Styley]

have a friend that knows how they r done..to watch u and find the flaw in ur mechanics. then just keep working at it. its just a barrier....there will be several hundred more....it just the way it is.

skate well.

[surrey_skater]

your not the first, and you wont be the last, just stick at it, keep your front foot over the deck. good luck man.

The phrase "Rome wasn't built in a day" sort of stands for kickflips as well. "Kickflips aren't learned in a day. Now this is what u gonna do. Your gonna read this post and with the knowledge of my post. u r gonna grab your skateboard with determination in your mind. (Dont forget your beenie, it might be a bit cold)Your gonna walk outside and ask your mother to wish u luck. Then Your gonna hop on your skateboard and practice kickflips and u r gonna repeat this process until u can do kickflips. Then u r gonna come back to your computer with a grin bigger then PJ Ladds list of tricks and you are gonna say to us that u can do kickflips. we are all gonna congratulate you (except for that ***** 540 flip) And then this post can rot in hell like the other 500 kickflip posts. And this post goes for every other person who needs to learn kicklfips!!!

yeah dude dont shit a brick. it normally takes people at least a month to land them. and probably longer to get them consistantly. you expect to go out, try it ten times and have it mastered. its not a video game you do have to take time, patience, and practice to land tricks.
now to try and help your little problem

jump as high as you can and slam your feet down to catch it, you are probably just putting one foot down so that you dont fall or shoot out, its a psychological thing, i mastered it on carpet first, then stationary on pavement, and now im working hard on getting it down moving, ive landed a few but i am determined on getting them consistant. doing them stationary give you the feel of how you should move, lean, kick, and so on. go out have fun and just maybe you will land it.

i am drunk to!!!!!!!!, oh your angry. get over it, its not like you have discovered some new problem with the kickflip that no one else has ever had, just go learn it and stop crying like a baby cause your feet are unco.

kicktheflip, you are the best. anyone that thinks pj ladd is good is a good bloke in my books.

[KickTheFlip]

thanks dudey. oh and pj rocks!!!

[FreestylinFreak]

if nothing else fails videotape yourself doing it. this is how i discovered that i was turning my body frontside to a point to where i would not be able ot land on the board.
