Skateboarding Tutorial: How to Do a Kickflip

Sam Newman
Just learning how to skateboard? Want to learn one of the most fundamental tricks you can do? Well follow this guide and practice, practice, practice, and you will be doing more than just kickflips!!

1. First and most importantly be comfortable with the ollie.

2. Set your feet like you are going to ollie

3. Take your front foot and point it forward about forty-five degrees

4. Now you start down like you are going to ollie

5. Here's the key: Instead of sliding your front foot straight forward like the ollie, slide your foot forward on the same angle as your foot is pointing, so your foot will be going forward, but off the heel edge, causing the board to flip.

6. LAND!

7. When you are first starting to board, you can learn to do it easier if you practice stopped.
