Statistics show that 97% of skaters fail their first attempt at a Kickflip. But don’t be discouraged!
With practice and patience, it is possible to nail this trick with a near-perfect spin.
Read on for tips and advice from experienced skaters on how to get the perfect kickflip.
Get The Right Equipment
Before attempting a kickflip, make sure you have the right equipment. You need a good quality skateboard with a decent grip, as well as a flat surface.
This will make it easier for you to maneuver your board correctly while doing the trick.
A helmet is also recommended, even if you are an experienced skater, as protection is always important!
Practice Makes Perfect
Once you have all your gear sorted out, it’s time to start practicing! Start by getting your footing down with the tail of your board up in the air.
Then give it momentum by flicking your front foot over and letting gravity do its thing for a near-perfect spin!
It’s important to get into a rhythm when practicing, so try doing 50 Kickflips per day until you get comfortable with this skill – it won’t take long before you are flipping like a pro!
Know When To Stop
It is essential to know when enough is enough when trying to perfect any skill – whether that be skating or anything else.
If you are feeling tired or frustrated, take a break and come back when you feel refreshed and ready to go again.
Skating should always be fun and not something that causes stress or anxiety so remember that if things get tough there’s always another way around it.
