dude holy shit I applied this tip during a my sesh tonight and I'm fucking flipping it so easy! I actually almost teared up how much time I struggled with trying to understand the flick all I fucking needed to do was open up my hip a bit and it feels like it just flicks on its own. You're a fucking legend and hero dude
-
i always tell beginners to think that they are kickflipping with their knee, not their feet and that somehow usually works, (leading with your knee forward of your nose)
-
that flip in the intro with hands in pocket is the type of skating I aspire to do.
-
i owe this man my life he actually taught me how to do a kickflip I haven't been able to land a kickflip in 5 years since I started I've never learned how to do a kickflip thank you so muchsubscribing rn I'm so happy man thank you you don't understand how happy I am I feel so accomplished thanks to this man thank you again I'm not even sure if you'll see my comment but just know your the reason i landed my first kickflip

Your channel got me back into skating after over 2 decades
-
I've landed 4 kickflips and I am struggling progressing. I'm actually regressing lately. I'm guilty of applying wayyy too much force on both the pop and the flick as you stated in your other kickflip video and thanks to you I truly believe I can master them now! 💙
-

Can you do an analysis on how to Nollie? +10 years in skating, still can't do them unless I'm going very slow...
-
these videos are so high quality its crazy. i dont even skate but they make me kinda want to. really great great job on this channel
-
2:30 You also need to add the force the nose of the skate is making when rising, so the force you have to employ is for example 502g (from the foot for the rotation) plus the Relative Force that the board is projecting while going up.
-
Man your series really helped me so much, ty❤
-
Also id just like to add your channel is probably my top favorite these 2 weeks i wish i had came across your channel sooner. Im also reccomending local skatepark goers to your channel. I wish you the best
-
These videos have awesome explanations, I'm looking forward to working on my knee because it's always my front foot too quickly on the ground. I really wanna land my kickflips. Thank you for this.
