why can i land varial flips almost every time but i can barely do kick flips

[switch skater]

for some strange reason i can do varial flips but ican barly kickflip i dont get it. i can also sex change.when i do kick flips i find my body turnsand my legs go together its strange isnt it

[snakeyes17]

thats how it is for me too..i cant stay parallel good but i got them down nice

[switch skater]

yeah i cnat stay parallel with my board

[grimreaper65]

me too, when i do kickflips, they rotate a bit, so when i do varials, i just rotate it more and voila, varial kickflip

[aceall]

mmmaayybbeee its because you have done varial flips more then you have done kick flips...just a guess

[fracture]

alot of people i skate with learnt varial flips bfore kk flips, its normal

[C_Atkins01]

best thing to do is to point ur feet in opposite directions kinda like penguin feet (ino it sounds stupid) but honestly it works, the board will stay strait under ur feet

ps. practice helps so does looking at the help page before posting threads

[FREELOVE88]

maybe its because your not doing your kickflips right?

[sk8er6792]

How do you varial kickflip because I have yet to land a k-flip, I would like to see if I could land a Varial flip

[snakeyes17]

you just do a pop shuvit plus a kickflip

[RadioActive782]

do a pop shuvit and kick it at the last second

Try with a Wider Deck I find that on a smaller deck its harder for me to keep my deck straight on Kickflips.

[Flipstreetskate]

he was answering for the guy who asked how to do a varial kickflip...

[slick_skater491]

ok...ok..i had the same problem.. i couldntlandmykicflip because myfromt foot wouldntland on the board.. but i found out why.. ok it sounds weird but it is because you are scared.. in a way.. start off... small part of the board in the front.. lean foreword.. and just try to watch your feet as good as you can.. do it about a million times and you will finally land it.. i just landed my first 3 tonight.. august seventh 2004.. bye

just make sure u always keep ur shoulders parallel with ur deck. a wise man once sed 'for non-spin tricks, imagine a box around ur shoulders that is parralel with ur deck, dont move ur shoulders out of that box!

Good advice.

[cameronmuster1]

thats so weird the same here but i can only mainly heelflip but some times do kick flips i need to learn tres

[Ree123]

just pop and think about just flicking with your front foot and all your doing with your back foot is lifting up

[almostsk8er33]

Stop Bringing Back Old Threads! Jesus Christ.

[crazylou]

Uh, with kickflips, I just keep parallel. I sort of jump abit back I guess.

for some strange reason i can do varial flips but ican barly kickflip i dont get it. i can also sex change.when i do kick flips i find my body turnsand my legs go together its strange isnt itI know! that happens to me too all the time. I can either varial or 90 kickflip, but i can't stay straight on the normal kickflip. any ideas?

[Dookie416]

I have a brilliant idea! Why don't you get your ass off the computer and practice! You might learn something!
