How To Kickflip The Correct Way

By Andrea Davidson


When it comes to how to kickflip, it is regarded as one of the most basic flip tricks. Still, many individuals find it hard to do it the correct way because it is hard to maintain an accurate position while you are trying to coordinate the drop slide kick and you hang time in the air while board flips for you.

One of the basic step involved in such a trick is to place your feet in a correct position. You need to place your front foot quite accurately and just behind second bolts set which is right next to the design bump of the board. Whereas you back foot should be placed right on the tail all the times.

If you practice regularly, you will definitely master the technique of kickflip in no time. Practice is the only way to make yourself do this trick in a perfect way otherwise you will end up with nothing. Instead of practicing on the street where you will not have full control of your movements you should practice on a sidewalk so that you are able to maintain a steady balance without falling down.

Once you have mastered the basic technique then you can learn how to use the same trick at many different other levels. Its a fact that learning kickflip while using a skateboard can be extremely challenging and frustrating at the same time. Even the professional skateboarders find this trick to be hard and quite challenging as its very difficult to make it right all the times.

The basics of this trick is that the skateboarder has to ollie and flip the board in a specific circular motion and then he has to land on the board without falling down. Even if it is a single spin, it is considered qualified in kickflip but there are pros who are experienced in doing double and even triple spins in one go which is just amazing.

If you want to learn this new trick, then the first thing you should know is how to ollie. If you can't ollie you cannot perform this trick at all. Once you learn ollie technique, then you are ready to do this all by yourself. The best thing is to start practicing on a carpeted or cushioned floor as it helps in keeping your board quite stable.

There are individuals who prefer to learn directly on the hard floor because ultimately you have to learn to do it the proper way. Another important thing to keep in mind is that your feet should always be properly placed because of you are unable to place them the right way you won't be able to perform accurately.

It can be said that to learn how to kickflip is not a very difficult thing if you do it the proper way. Your body should be aligned perfectly with the skateboard and your feet must be placed accurately. If your body posture is not correct you will never learn to kickflip the proper way. In order to learn the basics you need to make sure you do everything the right way.
