Kickflip is a basic flip trick. It is not very complicated, but very beautiful and effective. Usually they start learning it right after Ollie. It is not difficult to learn it, you just need to be patient, which is required to practice the skill of its execution. Like any other trick, Kickflip is based on the correct and precise execution of Ollie.
It is necessary
- Fingerboard
- Straight, level surface (such as a table)
Instructions
Step 1
Place the fingerboard on a long, flat, straight surface such as a table. You can also train on the floor, it is important that you have enough length to perform the trick.
Step 2
Place your index and middle fingers on the fingerboard. The stance is similar to the Ollie trick, however, the index finger should be placed as close to the tail as possible.
Step 3
Pick up some speed, but not very fast, with your middle finger, click on the back tail as when doing Ollie. After that, your fingerboard should take off.
Step 4
Once your finger is in the air, you need to twist it. This is best done when the fingerboard is in the air at a 70 degree angle. Spin the fingerboard with your index finger. To do this, move your index finger to the edge of the board closest to you in front of the screws and draw up and to the left. The middle finger should be on the back tail of the fingerboard until the finger begins to rotate around its axis.
Step 5
After the finger has made one revolution around its axis, you need to catch it with the extreme phalanges of the index and middle fingers and land smoothly.
Step 6
With the correct kickflip, your fingers should be on the screws of the finger during the landing.
Step 7
When playing Double Kickflip or Double Kickflip, you need to spin the fingerboard a little more so that the board makes a double turn instead of a single one. During the execution of both tricks, it is important that the finger does not fly far away from you, but is "under your fingers."
