Learn to Kickflip

Wednesday September 7, 2005
The Kickflip is the hardest of the basic skateboarding tricks, and one of the most popular skateboarding tricks to learn. Read these step by step instructions on how to kickflip on your skateboard, and you should be good to go. Learning to kickflip first, before learning other skateboarding flip tricks, will help you in the long run. (Learn to Kickflip)
  • Learn to Skate - before you try anything else, I suggest getting comfortable skateboarding around, without trying tricks
  • Learn to Ollie - once you feel comfortable skateboarding, learning to ollie is a good place to start with learning skateboarding tricks
  • Learn to Kickflip - after mastering the ollie, try to tackle the kickflip. Kickflips are hard to master, but worth it
