Kickflip

The kickflip is the most basic flip trick and most often the most difficult to learn, master this and other tricks will come much more ease. So don’t get hung up if you can’t land them right away. Just keep trying and they will naturally come to you!
Before you learn how to kickflip, you’ll want to know how to ollie.
1.You want to place your front foot behind the front bolts at about a 45 degree angle. You should have the ball of your back foot in the center of the tail ready to pop.
2.With your back foot, pop the board up as you would in an ollie. Instead of dragging straight up with your front foot, you want to drag and give a ankle flick.
3. Be sure to flick up and out, and not down. This will get the board flipping under you. Jump the same way as you would during an ollie and suck your feet up.
4. Hover over your skateboard. Wait for the griptape side to come round, be sure to tuck up your legs to give it room to rotate.
5. When the board has flipped once, bring your front foot on it to catch it. Your back foot should naturally catch it as well.
6. With both feet stomping on the bolts, catch the board firmly. Be careful not to land with one foot on the nose or tail, because your board might snap!
7. Roll out smoothly and go tell mom what you did today, then get back out and practice.
