bob., could ya give us a hint? why are you missing them? rotation? landing?

Well, i can't really do them, but I'll attempt to give you some advice Wink

:

Practice ollying with your feet set like you would when you throw kickys..
Once you get that down, try them i/o, in the flats, or re entry. i/o gives you the most air, but some people think in the flats is easier.
So, you ollie up, flick the board with your front foot, catch it in the air, then stick it.
"Pop It, Flick It, Catch It, Stick It." Smash

Make sure you don;t throw the board too far in front of you, or you'll end up in some pain. Lol.
When you land, beng your knees, and make sure you don't put your feet together.

Anything else, i'll be happy to (try to) give you advice. Very Happy

T-Hawk, no offense at all, but you really shouldn't give advice on a trick you can't land. Are you close?

The Kid, I'm pretty close.
I've landed, and rode away, but lost my balance.. Sad

this is how i do um:

1st: put your front foot more towards the middle of the board closer to the edge, have your foot slightly angled. have your back foot as far back on the tail as you can.

2nd: cut out into the flats on your heelside edge, (i cut out pretty far) then level off of your edge. dont put your weight back on your toes.

3rd: in those few seconds where you feel like the boat is about to start pulling you back in, dig your back foot into the water and let the nose of the board come up in the air. as the nose comes up time it where you wanna flick it ( the longer you weight the more angled looking kickflip, if you pop then immediatly flick you'll have a more level looking flip.) so once you have found where you wanna flick it, sort of roll your toes down and flick it out.

4th: watch it rotate around, lean back, but over the board, you dont want to land on and edge or you'll slip out.

5th: once the grip comes back around stomp the board back down with your feet, land with your knees bent, this will help you with your stability.

6th: ride away clean, through the rope in the air, toss up the middle fingers. and let your bro know whats up! Smash

tho some big inside out ollies......pop em up in front of ya and grab a few. u now have the pop you'll need........now slide your front foot back a few inches. go at the wake hard and flatten off right before her and pop that slut. as she goes up, roll your front foot forward and flick away and out.......as to get the full flip as well as the distance so that she'll be waiting for ya when she comes around. stay behind that ass and try and not get popped...........pop. the board pops, not your body. suck your legs up and get them out of the way and watch the flip Shocked

when she comes round stomp her out like the slimy slut that she is.

yeah. biatch! how ya like them apples

k, my question after having watched several people do kickies..
Kick down or Flick off?

Alija Bos Photo, personal preferance...the flick is obvisely more skateboard and the kick is just another way. i personaly kick down..

flob it!

a combination of flicking and mobbing works the best for me. olliing up then rolling out to the side with a slight downward motion

i try to copy the way danny hampson does it in this video
