Quick Tips Ep. 2: Fixing Landing Kickflips With One Foot

Quick Tips Ep. 2: Fixing Landing Kickflips With One Foot

Quick Tips isn't a how to series. It is meant to address specific issues not only with particular skate tricks but also with other areas of skateboarding knowledge.

This week I try to give some insight on one of the most ubiquitous kickflip problems. You see it all the time in youtube comments and videos: Landing kickflips with just the back foot.

I have two simple tips that should help you start to fix this problem and its underlying causes. Hopefully, if you're having this problem, this video helps you out a little!

Good luck! :D

Thank you for watching - more to come!

Where have you been all my life Jesus man I thought I would never land with both feet

[alexisfondon]

I've been having that trouble trying to kick flip off of stairs and as i finished watching this video i finally landed it, I'm literally commenting this just after i landed it, thanks man

[flomfilms.]

I've been trying to kick flip everyday for like 3 hours for the past 2 weeks and today I'm determined to land it... ill update this if I do so
update- didn't land It but now I can land with my back foot on it.. trying to get my front foot
update- I GOT IT!!!! really just got send it

I am physically unable to put my front foot on. I’m not even scared. My front foot literally doesn’t go on I try my hardest to put it on it just doesn’t. Please help

Edit: I learned kickflips like 2 weeks after I commented this. What I did prob won’t make sense but I just pushed my front foot on somehow. The kick flip trick is al mental so just try to be positive and tell yourself you can do it

Dear god, please make this be the last kick flip tutorial I watch in my life.

[bro-xdyh]

This actually made me land them, thank you

[magicconch]

this guy is so damn good at teaching you how to land tricks bro omg

[highland]

I don't know how but I just landed my first kick flip right after watching this video. Thankyou so much

[healinq]

Okay guys, i had the same problem as you guys but i managed to learn it by just trying to put my feet together. Hope this helps, it definetly helped me.

Finally! A video that shows someone landing a trick with the back foot rather than the front. I’ve been searching on YouTube for quite a while and all I found was people landing it with the front foot, which I can’t relate. This video puts a lot of things into perspective, on how I can finally land my trick. Thank you!

[michaelvigil]

Thanks. While holding onto something I landed 5 kickflips. Awesome tips.

[owenhammell]

Please be the last kick flip tutorial video I ever watch

[alexandru-mariosidor]

Yeah, but I can land only with the front foot, not the backfoot, or If I try I can land with backfoot, but not with frontfoot, I need to land with both feet

[carlitobuenaventura]

finally got to land a kickflip!!! thanks for the help man

[missPickel]

I've been practicing my kick flip at least 1-2 hours every day for the past 2 months and I felt like i was so close, BUT I couldn't GET MY BACK FOOT ON THE Also my board kept turning 90 degrees... FINALLY, thanks to you, I practiced holding on to something and I GOT ITTT (like an hour later!!!) I looked at soooo many tutorials, but yours was the best. Seriously, thank you 🙌🙌🙌

[gavinkefalianos]

The best kickflip advice ever. Period.

[elij]

Best tutorial by a mile short and to the point And after landing with my back foot every time first try after this vid I landed half way with both feet and am abt to land one

[cringeyxavier]

Ok idk if you'll reply to this since this video was from ages ago but id like to say thank you for making this video it's really opened up my view point on doing kickflips now. I still haven't landed a kickflips after a month of trying but I feel this video will truly help me because of how u mention how some with do the frontside motion which is something I've noticed I do. So once again thank you and hopefully I can't land a kickflip

[michaelpuglia]

Super helpful, gonna try this out right now! Shoulders are definitely doing what you said!

[cmkunisch]

Bro thanks so much. Skating needs more people like you. Most people teach tricks on how to do it and dont show how to fix the common problems so i havent been able to land this trick but because of you im progressing so much and I just wanna say thanks for that!
