watching Yan's istudiomo clip, i really liked the look of the kflip down the drop around 0:50.

I know there are a few guys known for their flick of the board, but honestly I liked the look of that particular one. I personally feel like it looked like he wasnt over-exaggerating the flick, but it was also not at all the old Drew McGuckin stomp/kick.

Ben Horan has my favorite kickflips. Nick Taylor's are a close second

i should have added: if you choose (with good reason) Ben, TNT, or the Pasturas, you must also say who would be your runner up (not consisting of one of those powerhouses) haha

mank the tank, i at least partially agree, he has a solid, crisp kflip, his sw kflip is pretty saucy too

Every kickflip I get to see in person is my favorite. Damn I love kickflips. Someday I shall claim my own.

yep Blake's are definitely my favourite. Big fan of Ollie Moore's kickflip as well.

considering its obvious when someone mobs a kickflip in wakeskating or properly flicks it , i like nick taylors or aaron reed;s the best, this were also the first ones i ever really saw

but also like ben horans,, i remember him saying he spent a whole summer just trying to learn to flick them like a skateboard\\

least favorite would have to be ryan doyles, u should understand why

So many guys have amazing kickflips, but I still think Frye has some of the sickest out there.

His kickflip down (sorry can't remember the name, it's in south florida?) gap is still one of my favorites. It's at 6:30 in Party Edit 4 below.

Ben, Austin, Nick, Andrew, and so many more have ridiculous kickflips too. There's a lot of diversity out there.

The pasturas would be my favorite, along with ben's.

One of my favorite kickflips at one point danny hampson's, specifically the one he does in "such is life' on the bi level; it was flicked, popped and caught....i loved that footage.
