Simple enough. How do you kickflip? Do you flick with your index? Both fingers? Do you have a unique style? Do you catch it early? Late? I personally try to do mine realistically. Flicking with my index and catching it right away.

I kinda flip it by moving my whole hand to the left(I'm right handed). Then I try to keep my fingers just barely above the board, then I catch it with my back finger, put my front finger back on the board and land.

For me it's all in the front finger, I do a regular ollie and right a I reach the peak I flick my front finger..

It's sticks to my fingers best that way

Most of the time, my kickflips are quite lazy - low, fast flip, low catch. I can pop high ones and catch it really high too though. Kickflips are my favourite trick and it's pretty fun doing different versions of it. I can do pretty good late kickflips but my camera was never good enough to capture it very clearly.

mine are weird, my hand barely moves at all so I don't really know what I do, haha.. all I know is that they're one of my favourite tricks

I don't really know either.. It's like when you have been able to do a trick for some years, and you can do them almost every time, then all it takes its to think about the trick and pop the tail, haha.

Yeah i also do like that most of the times but sometimes i try to do some realistic ones flicking the front finger. They are more consistent this way, for me

i try and constantly practice new techniques, can eveolve your style that way.

i just move my finger out and try to catch it keeping it realistic, really huge kick flips are rad but look silly imo

I put lots of pressure on the left side of the board, then a few seconds after it finishes rotating, I put my hand on it and roll away smoothly with all 3 fingers!

kidding,
idk, its definately my favourite trick, I guess I flick front finger a bit? not sure

I'm still on the stage on experimenting it. I don't have much consistency but I have 3 ways to do it. 1st is that do an ollie and right after the pop i flick my index finger to the nose which is kinda harder for me. 2nd do a regular ollie stance but flicking my wrist towards me and catch. 3rd is doing like a claw type on my finger on a regular stance and right after the pop flick the index finger to the dip of the board. But I really need to practice the timings because sometimes my flick is kinda already late.

I just learnt them, what I do is I kick it like a normal ollie and then once the boards in the air i just push both my fingers forward (my front finger more though) and then just sketchy land haha :/

I do them by moving my index finger forward, then bringing it back. I try to catch them, but I haven't got the catches dialed yet.

my kickflips are actually quite odd. i flip them by flicking my wrist up after the pop so the board is going upwards while flipping. i then catch it at the peak of the boards height and slam it back down. my fingers dont do the flicking, its in the wrist movement for me. they are on average 8-9 inches in height at the peak.

What direction/where do you flick your finger?

For me It's more difficult for me to flick to the nose but I observed that it will land much cleaner and straight. But I usually flick through the dip of the deck towards me. *I use my wrist not my fingers to flick it though.*
