How to Kickflip, Step by Step

  1. Set your back foot on the tail and your front foot angled behind the bolts with the toes near the heel-side edge.
  2. Pop the tail like an ollie.
  3. As you slide up, flick the front foot off the heel-side corner of the nose, out and slightly forward.
  4. Jump up and get your feet out of the way while the board rotates once.
  5. Catch it with your back foot first, then your front foot, and land over the bolts.

Kickflip Tips

  • Flick with the side of your toes, not the tip. The last contact point decides how cleanly it spins.
  • If the board shoots forward, you are flicking too far ahead. Flick more sideways.
  • Keep your shoulders square to the board. Opening them up turns it into a body varial.
