if you re trying kickflips....

much more important is the position of your shoulders....
not of your feets....
your shoulders must have the same position as if your were just riding with both hands..... like nearly 90 degree rotation instead of your pelvis....
the board will just flip if you kick it and not spin....

good luck....

I highly disagree with you, but I'd like to see how you make it work.

Hey I could use some pointers if anybody can help. I can hit I/O kickflips much better than ever; but I still haven't claimed a flats kickflip. I cut out pretty far when I throw my tricks. Then I pop it and flick it but it always goes down quick. I can't get out in front of me enough. Any tips? Neutral

I tried at least 4000 of these at TSR and got close to about 2, it's sooooooo frustrating but I know when I finally stick it my heads gonna explode from rapidly pulsating stoke.

jboss, keep trying dude. tramp it if u can. it probably helps some. eventually things will make sense and it will just happen. and that will probably be when you least expect it to Smile

btw, the more fustrated you get, the more stoked you be when you do land one Laughing
