How do you kickflip on a skateboard?
Well im a skater. I got an element and i cant kickflip, sad. well does anybody got a good video on youtube that can help me learn? How did you learn?
THANK YOU
Well first, f*ck YouTube videos.(: They didn’t help me at all. They gave me tips, that’s about it.
But here is how I learned. I watched a few "How To KickFlip" videos. After, go out and get to trying it.
Put your front foot at a 45 degree angle (slightly turned) and put it somewhere below the bolts, not too far below, but wherever is most comfortable.
Have your back back foot in a popping position. Somewhere in the middle of the tail.
Once your position is ready, bend down a little, then pop as hard as you can (don’t push yourself and try to pop higher than normal or it’ll go all.. weird) then as you’re popping slide your front foot up and once you see it about to get to the bolts, flick it with your ANKLE and jump up once it flips then watch until you see the griptape and then SLAM, then congrats. (:
It takes, A LOT, of practice. It annoyed the holy sh*t out of me! But I learned it and now mastered it. 
Just never give up, try to stay calm and practice that trick a LOT!
