Kickturning is when you balance on your back wheels for a moment, and swing the front of your board to a new direction. It takes some balance and some practice. If this short little instruction doesn't make it all clear to you, read How to Kickturn for more detailed instructions, and for some great practice ideas.
Once you have kickturns down a little, make sure you can kickturn both directions. Try kickturning while moving. Try it while on a ramp (ride up a little ways and kickturn 180). The more you practice, the more comfortable you will become.
