Kickflip action

2024/12/17 Edited to

... Read moreHey everyone! 👋 So, you're looking to master the kickflip, or maybe even level up to the double kickflip? I've been there! It felt like forever trying to get that board to rotate just right. But with a bit of persistence and understanding the mechanics, it truly clicks. I wanted to share my personal journey and the tips that really helped me nail these iconic tricks. First off, let's break down the classic kickflip. It's all about precision and timing. I remember watching countless videos and trying to mimic the pros, but what truly helped was focusing on these key elements: 1. Foot Placement is Crucial: This was my biggest breakthrough. My back foot went right on the tail, ready to pop. My front foot was positioned just below the front bolts, angled slightly, with my toes hanging off the edge a bit. This gave me maximum leverage for the flick. Think of it like drawing an invisible line from your big toe diagonally towards the nose of the board. 2. The Pop and Slide: This happens almost simultaneously. You need to pop the tail down hard with your back foot, pushing it into the ground to get the board airborne. As soon as you pop, your front foot should aggressively slide up the board towards the nose. This isn't just a gentle brush; you're using the side of your foot (specifically the outside edge of your shoe) to drag upwards. 3. The Flick: This is where the magic happens. As your front foot slides up, once it reaches the nose pocket (that curving part of the board), you need to quickly flick your ankle outwards, almost like you're kicking a hacky sack. This flick is what makes the board rotate on its horizontal axis. It's not just your leg moving; it's a quick, sharp ankle movement. I used to just slide and wonder why it wasn't flipping, until I focused purely on that quick ankle flick. 4. Landing: Once the board has completed its rotation, bring your feet back over the bolts. Try to land with your knees bent to absorb the impact. Commitment is key here – don't bail mid-air! Now, for the Double Kickflip! This is where things get even more exciting. It’s essentially an amplified kickflip. I found that once I had the regular kickflip down consistently, the double felt like a natural progression, but it requires a lot more power and a faster flick. To get two rotations, you really need to exaggerate your initial pop and your flick. Your front foot's flick needs to be much harder and quicker, driving even more aggressively off the nose. You'll also need to jump slightly higher to give the board enough time to complete the second rotation before you come back down. It's all about that extra airtime and a super-fast, powerful flick. Don't be discouraged if it takes dozens, or even hundreds, of attempts – it's a tough one! Practice, practice, practice! Find a smooth, flat spot. Don't be afraid to fall, and always wear your helmet and pads. While some might be curious about specific performances, like a “JYP Entertainment skateboarding kickflip,” the universal principles of technique apply to everyone, whether you're a beginner or an aspiring pro. Focus on these fundamentals, and you'll be landing those kickflips and double kickflips in no time! Keep shredding! 🛹
