Why skaters like it

Linked in beginner threads as a reference for an exaggerated, outward flick and the high ollie this trick needs. Mostly shared as a fun flip trick to aim for.

“… You know those super exaggerated ninja kickflips people do for fun? Here [VIDEO] 1:33. Obviously you aren't supposed to Bruce Lee kick the air, but I definitely suggest a stronger, more outward flick. …”

I think yours look very good. The guys who can do the ninja kickflip [VIDEO] have ridicoulously high ollies. So id start there. Thats my plan anyway. edit: straight kickflips ! TURN before you kickflip. Then it will go straight ! (it wont but now you will be aligned :)

Your flick is super weird. You know those super exaggerated ninja kickflips people do for fun? Here [VIDEO] 1:33. Obviously you aren't supposed to Bruce Lee kick the air, but I definitely suggest a stronger, more outward flick. See if that helps
