I just started fingerboarding and I want to learn a kickflip, but my fb always spins too much and is too low. I already tried to pop harder, but it doesn't work.

Has anybody a good tutorial for kickflip because I can't find one.

here's gary chin's trick tip. it's very good.

if it does not work what i did was i tap thedecks tail then slid both my fingers up. when you get better its natural and youcan do it with your eyes closed just do it (chav bag) joking

Thanks a lot, now I can almost do a kickflip

cool make a video if you can showing it

just takes a lot of practise,keep trying

try to pop it straight so it doesnt want to do a varial flip or a shuvit. also, try not to over-flick the nose, which will make it spin outta control

Haven't got a good cam over here

I've got some problems:
- 1) I almost always do a double or triple kf
- 2) If I don't do a double or triple, my board makes a 180 spin during the kickflip

Tips?

I think this is the problem, I've only practiced it for an hour, I think that if I practice a lot this week, I can do a kickflip next week

1) Move your finger closer to the concave(where you flick) so then you won't flick has hard. Also, flick a bit more to the nose, you might be flipping it deep in the concave and of course, make effort to flick a bit lighter.

2) Keep your fingers more centered on the deck. Dont have your fingers hanging off the front.

did u even read what i said? lol

Does anybody know how I can control my fingers better, because I know how to kickflip, but I can't because I hacen't got al the control over my fingers or do I just have to practice because it's normal for a beginner?

Ayden gave you Gary's and I'll give you Mike's Learn the placement/pop from them.
Then get it to were it works for you and practice!

here ya go! Hope it helps.

It's just I can't really control my fingers...

although, I just did five (double or single) kickflips in a row

Edit: Mark also said: It needs a lot of practice and my question was if it was normal that it took longer than a week to learn a kickflip

please dont bump old threads^

Now it's bumped I just want to thank you guy's, because now I can do 5-7 out of 10 and my heelflips are also getting better :p

Hi everybody. I'm new to this forum, and to fingerboarding too. Just started playing for about a month now.

Sorry for replying in an old thread, but I also have problem with kickflip...

So my problem is, the nose of my deck always turns when it land, rarely land in a straight line. Usually it turned and landed 90 degree away from me. Sometimes even turned 180 degree (tail become the nose, and vice versa). Can anybody help me out?

I've checked and learned from gary chin's and mike's (and many other) video, but not helping my problem.

I've tried various finger placement, various degree of strength when sliding my index finger, but nothing solved the problem....

Any help would be much appreciated...

Thanx in advance
