Where you should be flicking? The side of the nose. You want to push through that half of the nose instead of sliding straight into the middle of it like a normal ollie. Also you catch a kickflip with your back foot. [VIDEO]

Well done dude! It’s hard to tell from the video but one thing I’ll point out though is that it seems you’re kicking your kickflips down slightly. While it’s possible to do a kickflip like that, it won’t be very controlled and the catch tends to be a hail mary. Try to kick into the pocket and follow through past the deck. It quite literally is a ‘kick’. Your leg should almost look straightened out, but not entirely.

Mob means that you're flicking your foot straight down instead of out. Take a look at Torey Pudwill's kickflip and you'll see how far his foot goes in front of the board. [VIDEO]

I have to have the same foot position no matter how high I'm trying to kickflip. It's just about refining your technique. Here's Torey.. [VIDEO]
