So this weekend may be my last weekend at the lake (since im now back at college) and anyways i wanna try a few kickflips to see whats up....

I wanna just know foot placement on the board for a goofy rider (a paint drawing would be nice) and also how i snap down on the board (with what foot and in what manner) i have snap and ill go look at the trick tips here, but i just wanted to see what advice i could get from people, seeing as things are different for everyone. thanks Cool

seven11dmd, It's like he said; pop, flick, catch, land.

Seriously I agree with Hampson, there's no magical foot position or anything. You basically just gotta get a feel for it, find your own position and just let it happen.

kickflips are easy, just pop your tail flip the boared rail to rail,catch it in the are,stomp it sdown and ride away clean. it is acutally just that easy, and i am actually just that full of crap too!

you really just have to guess check and revise. i think that you cant exactly be taught the way to do it you just have to feel it out for yourself. ive never really heard anyone give good advise on how to kickflip, its kind of not easily described in a hint or trick. i was trying them today actually and started getting really close until i got knifed by the fin on my friend's (not very good) scape. but you really just need to try it and learn from experience
