Let's
see. The kickflip. It just so happens to be one of my favorite moves. You
don't need a half pipe, or rail. Just good solid pavement. the 'flip' part
in a kickflip is used in many other tricks as you can tell. They all involve
the flipping motion the board does. It's a little hard to explain, but I'll
try my best. Like always, begin with the ollie. For the kickflip, though,
ollie with your back foot on the tip of the tail for maxamim pop. With your
back foot, pop the board down and out for best results. Use your front foot
to guide your board in a kickflip motion. Let your board rotate between your
feet, but don't keep your feet too far apart or you will bail on your landing.
Remeber to keep your feet in line with your shoulders. Catch the board after
landing. Don't let it over rotate or your feet will land on the trucks! Bend
your knees upoun impact and ride away. I know you, probaly don't get it right
now, and that's ok. Just go outside and keep practicing. You can fill in what
I failed to elaborate yourself. Until then, happy flipping!
