nick, do you kick down at all or do you just flick out and forward? |

nick, i just watched that vid again, i dont know how you can kickflip that high........i couldnt even ollie as high as some of those if i tried to ollie as high as i could
i'm still having problems with kickflips......... switching from riding the 41 hampson and landing them nearly every try then going to the tnt is really messing me up i think
i cant even do them on the hampson anymore.....
will putting as much of my foot on the board as possible give me more control? i feel like i'm not spinning them very fast except for when i mob it, which just makes the board spin super awkward......maybe i just need to ollie higher?
ive only got like 5 kickflips total on this board, i need to learn how to do it the right way _________________ http://www.stickandflick.com

anythings better than not posting up any vids at all.
And i know what you mean, man. I had kickflips to the point where i could land one every set, and almost get 2 in a row on occasion.
Now, using my same board (bamboo TNT), i MAYBE land one out of every 30 i try. I don't understand it, I just lost them.. |

T-Hawk, duuude remember how i told you i was getting close like everytime? today i only got board on 2/15 attempts. i almost slid one out but lost it.
kickflips are of the devil. it's like everytime i go out if i do the SAME thing i was doing last time the board does it's own thing every different set. |

im not sure if this is a "break through" but i think i've figured out that for kickflips on integs you have to slide your front foot up as apoosed to flicking off the side
thats just from jumping on the trampoline today...... i wanna try it in the water _________________ http://www.stickandflick.com

Gnarly Dancer 42, yeah, i know what you mean. Otherwise the board catches on the water when you try to flick it. And if you look at nick's kickies, he's doing exactly what you're saying. lol |

Yeah, like those lights you see construction workers using when they're working on the road at night. Each one has like 40,000,000 candle power. Haha, not to sound dorky or anything. |
