how do you kickflip on a skateboard?

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Let's try those smilies.

Remove the * and you'll have the secret smilies.

Start rolling and then ollie and as you ollie slide your front foot out. Are you regular of goofy foot?. I was goofy foot so in order to kickflip I would have to slide my front foot to the right.

If you want to do a heelflip just use the same foot but instead of sliding your foot to the right, slide it to the left.

The landing is the hardest part to do. Before trying to kickflip, try to see how high you can ollie. The higher you can ollie, the easier it will be to land. I always had trouble with the kickflip and heelflip because I couldn't ollie high enough.

Have you goten the 50 50 grind down yet or the boardslide. The best trick I used to be able to do was a heelflip to nose slide.

This was always easier then just a regular kickflip because instead of landing, all I had to do was flip the board and then slide on the nose.

i can ollie kinda high. i still have to work on it though. i can maybe ollie up to my knees and im 5 ft tall.so maybe like, a foot or two. but thats standing still. i have yet to work on the moving ollie more. anyway, i did 50 50 a few times. the thing i grind though is like 2 inches high though. that is pathetic huh. i think i could do higher, but i dont know where any higher things are. you sound like a good skater. thanks for the help.

Try to type the smilies without the spaces nor the *. Do mind that there should be a space before and after the whole smily.

What you did wrong, is that you put an underscore in ^-^ ,while it should be a minus (use the one from the keypad)
The problem in the >:D is that you didn't put a space in front of it.
