Okay the stance of the kickflip is a at 75 degree angle like so
When you do a kickflip you will slide your toes up and jump with your board.
Make sure when you are sliding your foot off you do not slide directly off the nose or else you risk the chance of your front foot going to far foward when you land, and having the board hit you in the leg.
You might want to take this path
Once you flick the board up it will start to spin. If you popped your kickflip high enough you will catch it and slam down.
------------------Troubleshooting---------------------------------------------------
Q: I would land my kickflips constant but i keep overflipping my board.
A: Your foot is way to far back on the board. In other words you are flicking with the very tips of your toes. Bring your foot more on the board.
Q: I am landing my kickflips in Primo or im underfliping it.
A: This just means your a flicking to little with your toes and you need to move your foot more down on the board.
Q: I keep landing with my backfoot and not my front!
A: This could be lack of comitment or you need to flick the way i told you before. If you still cannot get it I would suggest holding onto somthing and push upwhen your done flicking and hold yourslef there till your board has fully rotated.
Q: I keep landing with my front foot but not my back.
You can be leaning to far foward, you can fix this by leaning back. You can also be ficking out to much, or not flicking in the direction I told you before.
--------------------Adding height---------------------------------
So you have your kickflips but you want to get them higher.
1.You need to practice this kind of line ollie,kickflip,ollie,kickflip. This will start you popping your kickflips like you do ollies.
2.Once you start to pop more start putting your foot more up on the board so you get a slower kick.
3. Start jumping as high as you can once you flick.
4.PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!
I hope you get it soon. |
