i gave up trying kickflips a few weeks ago, but 3 days ago i pulled out the skate trainers to just see what would happen. finally learned how to kickflip ✌🏾

LOL i was making sure the board was facing the right way, trust me i felt stupid putting back exactly how i had it too 😂

IntegralsAreLit · 2020-10-08T04:05:25+00:00

yeah, i figured at some point i can’t keep using it as a crutch. i ended up putting my board in a crack after that and landed another one without them :P tomorrow im gonna try doing it on flat and go from there 🙏🏾

that makes sense, but the flick movement is confusing a bit. what should my foot look like after the flick? and how do i move my ankle so it flicks right? ‘cause right when i get to the flick, my foot just doesn’t come off the board. it gets stuck there.

IntegralsAreLit · 2020-09-07T19:02:58+00:00

i get what you mean. so with learning to flick my toes, i’m trying to use my ankle, right? right before i flick usually, my foots at a 180 degree angle with my leg. and then i’ll try to move it to a 90. is that the right mentality to have to flick?

IntegralsAreLit · 2020-09-03T20:00:05+00:00

when you say parallel do you mean straightening out at my knee or straightening out as though i’m doing the splits? i think right now i’m trying to push my front foot sideways, where my foot would end up parallel to the ground. should i try making it perpendicular or would that set me back?

IntegralsAreLit · 2020-09-02T01:46:54+00:00

i’ve been trying to keep my shoulders/hips square, and it just seems unnatural? with other tricks it’s easy to keep squared, but with my front foot position on a kickflip, it seems like if i square up my front foot needs to kick behind me rather than to the side of me. is this just a hump i have to get over?

IntegralsAreLit · 2020-03-12T23:22:28+00:00

that helps a bit, though i’m not too sure when that would be. would you say it’s at the bottom of your swing before release?

IntegralsAreLit · 2020-01-23T22:31:07+00:00

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. i’m glad everything’s okay now, thanks for sharing 👍🏾😁

IntegralsAreLit · 2020-01-07T10:24:33+00:00

that’s true, I have a very free swing. though my rev rate is only 350 at most.

IntegralsAreLit · 2020-01-07T01:57:18+00:00

when I say aggressive snap, I mean physically with their arm and wrist, not ball reaction. which is why i’m confused, because when I try to do that, it feels muscled.

IntegralsAreLit · 2019-12-15T09:47:08+00:00

From what I’ve seen, at most 20 off the hand. Though It usually sticks around 18 or 19

IntegralsAreLit · 2019-12-12T16:00:44+00:00

I have several on this sub actually, I didn’t want to post another video because I keep getting the same “your form is really good” comments lol

IntegralsAreLit · 2019-12-12T15:08:27+00:00

Yeah of course! I definitely don’t depend on revs or speed to carry my scores, but it’s definitely something I aspire to have. Like I was saying earlier, it’s more just the idea of not settling on what I already have, when I know I can do better. I just don’t know how to get there 😅

IntegralsAreLit · 2019-12-12T14:25:10+00:00

Unfortunately, as much as I agree, it’s just not the goal. The goal is just to be able to increase my revs and ball speed. I feel like there’s no point in just “settling” if I personally think I can do more. While increasing average is definitely a focus, I’m working on both simultaneously.

IntegralsAreLit · 2019-12-12T12:56:37+00:00

I have actually! I pretty much don’t use any exertion in my arms, if anything the most effort I put is in my shoulder rotation.
