The Kickflip
 



1. Place your feet as shown in the diagram.
2. The problem most people have with the kickflip is flipping the board underneath yorself, rather than flicking it 5 metres away. To prevent this you must practise the flipping motion.
3. Basically do an ollie, but instead of sliding your foot up the board, slide it diagonally up and off the deck. This will make the board spin.
4. Another thing people do is they don't jump high enough, so make sure you jump higher than the board goes.
5. Watch the board spin beneath you, then when you see the grip tape again lower your back foot to stop it. Then lower your front foot a split secong after to catch the board and keep it level.
6. Prepare to land and bend your legs to keep your balance and to absorb the shock. Ride away.
