You should know how to kickflip as its one of the basic tricks of flipping on a skateboard. There are a few number of individuals who think this technique is quite hard and they remain unable to do it the right way as you need to keep your position accurate while making sure you keep a perfect coordination in your drop slide kick and total hang time in air while flipping the board.

You need to make sure that your feet are placed in correct manner over the board. Your front foot must be exact behind the second set of bolts on your board which is just next to the bump design. At the same time your back foot must sit just at the tail of the board in a stable manner.

If you want to master this technique, the best way is to practice it on a regular basis. Practice makes a man perfect and if you don't do it regularly you might never learn the trick. Its best to practice on a sidewalk rather than on the street because whilst you are on the street you don't have control over your balance and you might roll up or down a little.

Once the basics of this trick are learned, then you can take your technique onto higher levels while practicing and performing on a regular basis. It can be a bit frustrating as well as challenging to learn the kickflip technique while making the use of a board. It is a difficult trick to learn and even the pro skaters find it quite hard and full of troubles sometimes.

The basics of this trick is that the skateboarder has to ollie and flip the board in a specific circular motion and then he has to land on the board without falling down. Even if it is a single spin, it is considered qualified in kickflip but there are pros who are experienced in doing double and even triple spins in one go which is just amazing.

Provided that you need to study this new technique, then the first thing you might as well know is how to ollie. Provided that you can't ollie you can't perform this trick. When you study ollie procedure, then you are prepared to do this all independent from anyone else. The best thing is to begin rehearsing on a covered or padded floor as it aides in keeping your board very stable.

Whereas still there are many people who think it is best to start learning on a hard floor as you will have to do it the proper way in the end. It is really important that you keep the position of your feet correct because if your feet are placed wrongly you will never be able to learn how to do this trick in a proper way and your performance will be impacted.

Therefore, it is not a difficult task to learn how to kickflip. There are a few elements that you need to keep in mind like your body posture should be correct and your feet position need to be accurate. Whether you want to know just the basics or the advanced techniques your attitude should be in the right direction.
