Basically I have not landed a single kickflip since June. JUNE??

And now whenever I commit, I try my hardest I JUST CAN'T LAND IT!

I don't know why, but i do know this, if I can't land it by next summer i'm going to quit.

Like why is this happening to me? What's going on!

I landed my first one at my skatepark as I said in June, and I skate in my street now. Is it because of the type of ground?

My garage has the same flooring as the park but I can't land it there either.

Please help because this is pissing me off. I can't even get my back foot up, and I jump high as I can. Just please help me finally land my second one. Because I'm tired of learning new tricks, and then saying... "If I can land this... why can't I land a kickflip?"

I skated for over a year, I couldn't even Ollie. I don't give a shit, I wasn't good, but I enjoyed doing it and chilling with friends, don't quit just cause you can't kickflip, lots of people struggle with different tricks.
Me for example, I couldn't Ollie, but I could nollie. idk, just keep at it

Practice makes perfect, your not going to land it straight away. Ask someone who can land one, and ask them to give you advise, or check YouTube video's and listen to the tips they offer you, it could help a lot.

I have been skating for 10 years or so.. I can't land a single flip trick. But i love every second on the board.

I used to be able to do heelflips, 360 flips, varial flips etc. every trick at different times.
If you don't keep it up, you lose them. If you try too hard you fuck it up too.

Just try and enjoy what you do and don't worry too much about how skilled you are.

I've been skating for 5 years and I've only landed 2 kickflips XD
keep at it.
I'm more into nocomply tricks though

Dude, Ive been skating since i was 3 im 14 and i can barely heelflip. no kicklfips. just keep hope man, quitings for quiters..

I'm shit at skating compared to what I used to be. no more first try tre flips, no more kickflips down 5 sets.

BUT I can still fakie gazelle flip, and I love skating and have fun doing it the time I get to do it. So it doesn't matter.

took me a year to get kickflips when I was a kid.

Ollies. Practice ollies. Ollie down 4's, 6, 12's. Everything you see, ollie. For a while. Once you got a steady 2 foot ollie, then work on flio tricks. Once you get kickflips, tre's, inward heels, bigspins, everything will start popping in. Come spring and I have my new camera, I'll probably be doing some trick tips/ trickipedia's.

haha i actually did a kickflip in my first attempt ever.

I've been skating 7 years and I can't kickflip. I never let it bother me and I move onto tricks that I am comfortable with. I've actually developed an oldschool/freestyle kind of style but also normal street stuff where I can. Just have fun and don't feel the need to copy a tricklist of someone else.

Oldschool?..... People still do that?

Haha, not to inflate my ego or anything but here's an entry I made for an online skate contest: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmXK3MtlKm0

There were so many good entries in that contest. I made my entry the night before the deadline because I found out about it too late but oh well. My friend from Leeds, Joe Moore won it and he's got an insanely tech style.
