 F**k me Beautiful Group: Member Posts: 3,126 Joined: Jul 2004 Member No: 30,124 |
its like an olley but when u kick it up u gotta have ur other leg "kick"/flick the side edge of the board really fast and itll flip enough, then all u gotta learn is how to stick the landing....haha its easier to show then explain
 vans would be ok,how about DC's or etnies? |

Yeah you can't really learn tricks from just reading tips, it's all about practicing. If you can, record yourself doing a kickflip/heelflip and view it and look at your mistakes and correct them.
I've never had a World Industries board but I've heard some crappy stuff about them. Right now I have a Girl deck, works great for me. Shoes, it's all about whats comfortable to you. They all will work, they all will get jacked, so pick what you feel is good on your feet. I myself have lakais but I usually don't skate with those, I like them too much. I skate with $20 airwalks, it doesn't make me skate crappy and they're cheap.

Practice is the key point. I've got this crappy generic board and I wear chucks when I'm skating and I can do the same ol' tricks. I say practice. It's just like you're starting over, you'll get it eventually. But if you had to get new shoes I say go with vans . . . I like them better for some reason. lol BTW: Do you skate goofy, regular, or switch? |

I'm sponsored by our local shop, I used to be a lot better but I quit for about 2 years. Juss came back to skating 2 months ago when our city got a new skatepark. For a kickflip if you want to catch it high put your back foot like you would an ollie and your front foot towards the front bolts of your board almost touching them but not covering any of them. Make sure you get a clean pop, drag your front foot up and flip the board, and bring your body up with the flip.
EDIT: Also what size is your deck? |
