Hey guys just wondering how everyone learned kickflips like how long it took them and just when they started stomping them, im starting to get really into this trick and i feel i can do it with a TONE of practice and im jw like how long and how often or wat the best way would be to learn this trick tramp or just practice or wat, just the more info i recieve then the more informed i will be which is one step closer to me stomping and riding away with kicky

for me i never really tried um that often until recently id say it took me around a few weeks or so but thats with alot of trampoline practice, and alot of riding practice, but it was totallly worth it.

Bustamove, dude yes lean back! for me its ollie, lean back downward flick then sorta lean forward with knees bent then stomp that shizz dizzown

Bustamove, you know i said don't lean back as in stay centered over your board when you ollie.

Trampoline, and just practicing as much as you can. It took me about a month of riding a couple days a week to land my first one. Still not even close to being very consistent

ive come closer to sticking varial flips that i did when i was attempting Kflips.. i have no prob spinning, staying over, or even sticking my landing but for some reason the board rotates in a 90 degree angle or a full V flip.. cant figure it out.

the ollie on the kickflip needs to be real drastic, completley slow and controlled, most people when trying them try to do the flip way to fast...ur ollie needs to be at its peek then you do the flip..it will feel realy wierd at first but trust me u will learn them alot faster Smash
