Braille Skateboarding tutorial from 2014 on flicking up for kickflips. Covers the flick direction that makes the board spin without losing pop.

Why skaters like it

Linked in beginner threads when someone's kickflips spin but stay low. Commenters point to it for fixing a flick that goes down instead of out.

“Right now you are flicking down. When you kick your board down it'll rotate fast but you'll not be able to pop it high. Try to kick out, not down.”
