ok im pretty close to landing them in the flats but do I do it like a skateboard (sliding my foot up and off the edge of the board. Or do I just pop it and just kick it straight down and not slide imy foot at all? I read all the k flip threads on pages 1 and 2.
im pretty sure guys here do it both ways. however since your not on a skateboard, you dont ollie it by sliding your foot, so therefore you dont need to slide it up and off, just ollie and flick off the edge.// _________________ JMU
i think it works best to combine them. cause i mean sliding wont get the huge thing all the way around so you have to kick down to. its like sliding and kicking at like a 45 degree angle. its really hard to explain. and if you just kick down, the board will hit the top of your foot. _________________ 407-212-7425
i do it by just kicking it straight down and imo it works a lil better. but i used to do them skateboard style too so i took the trucks off my skateboard and practiced doing them like that on the ground. it is like almost impossible to slide your foot up and flick it then it helps you be able to kick it straight down. _________________ "Too bad that all the people who really know how to run the country are busy driving taxi cabs and cutting hair."
