SLOW MOTION KICKFLIPS

Study this footage. [VIDEO] ------------ I have a certain flow that I follow when I'm trying to learn a new trick. I first always start by figuring out what the core motion to the trick is. For the kickflip, it's an ollie. So the flowchart for learning the ollie for me was: * Ollie * Front Foot Slide/Kick * Land I would watch that video hundreds of times analyzing how every movement created a new effect on the board

Practice doing big snappy ollies and landing with your feet on the bolts first. Then watch some slomo clips [VIDEO]

[VIDEO] here are some good examples.

You need to jump right and flick right to catch with the back foot. Jump a little higher , and a little more forward of the board. See 0:27 to 0:29 of the vid link below . His jump is such that his weight is over the nose and you can see his knee is past the nose. The front foot flicks more forward and off the side closer to the nose.

Therefore, you'll want to a

A tip I saw recently that really helped improve my kickflips. Focus on leading with your front knee. Push the knee forwards towards the nose before the ankle flicks. It provides a much more stable and controlled flick that keeps the board under you. Currently you appear to be kind of kicking the whole front leg out at the same time, which is moving the board away from you with less control. ​ [VIDEO] - watch that and
