The truth hurts

I’ve probably tried more than a thousand ngl

Not sure. I learnt them in 3 hours

@@DanielMarkMellor who asked

@@DanielMarkMellor land it doesn't mean that you learned how to do it

hahahahahahahahah do a kick flip in bed

@@ellisfrost8646 Just sitting in bed and playing with your board with your feet is super underrated. Started scooping tre's and flicking kickflips and I can barely land a moving ollie.

@@experitha3541 so its useless

@@jeweerly2319 Idk, it's one of the better ways I found to build to fast twitch muscles in your ankles and calfs. 90% of this shit is just trial and error, but being able to practice the motion and build a foundation even when I'm still learnin to land on my board seems more than useless. Helps w foot placement too cause you'll just dome yourself in the mouth or get upside-down popsicled if you miss catching your board. Idk dog just talkin.

@@experitha3541 yo like just hanging your feet off the bed?

he just vibin

Lmao I was gonna say the same thing. I’m that kid.

Congrats!

@@ellisfrost8646 Thanks so much! It just took watching your videos, and finally realizing that it was an issue with commitment. I just tried my hardest and landed!

:o Woa that's actually true! no way

how did you come up with this

this probably already a style of skateboarding but this should be a style called "efortliss" and this dude can be the prime example

Or the worst hahaha

Welcome to skate parks in England haha

@@ellisfrost8646 where in English is this?

@@cameronbethell7235 st Neots I think

He's living life the way it was meant to be lived

Vibin' hard

Meow

😂

Thanks i was actually trying to be serious and teach it haha even though i got very distracted

😭😭😭

absolutely destroyed himself lol

Haha it’s probably from patreon

hahahaha the flicking Pikachu has already become a thing, well done Mr

Hahahahahahahaha good! i hate snow and the cold. Kinda ironic

Hahahaha yea i was surprised it worked that well. I tried doing everything wrong

@@ellisfrost8646 you're just too good. you should try to do a tutorial on how to "bone out" your kickflips if ur able. :)

Yessss use the Pikachu technique haha good luck

also pullup your back foot. if you want a cheat, hold on to a handicap rail or the tall part of a couch so you don't have to worry about falling.

Well done! thank you

Yea it's very strange but works

@@ellisfrost8646 I mean, I found that I was putting more of my front foot on the board & putting my toe into that pocket in the tail as I got better & more consistent with kickflips. So, pretty much what you said in the vid, lol Your advice of "flick slower" also lines up with a trick tip Lizard King did ages ago saying to "delay the flick" for better-looking (popped nice & high) kickflips. Like, no lie, this & Dale Decker's trick tips on kickflips are probably some of the best I've found.

Good luck!

@@ellisfrost8646 mission failed haha, can flick it all the way round but not Land on it. Maybe day two will be the day haha

Yea unfortunately it’s very true, but worth it

What do you mean

Try putting less of your front foot on the board, so less of your foot hits the board as you flick

@@ellisfrost8646 thanks for the tip, I'll try that too

wow, such a long kickflip

It’s alright at the moment it’s skate lite so fun and smooth but some bolts go missing which may make it not so good in the future

@@lewisdowling9430 hopefully it will still be skatable in the summer when I get to visit.

i honestly think of over leveling it like a dolphin flip and kicking through🤔

Yea possibly, i need to start making trick tips more often

jump backside like a frontshuv. i like to think it makes the board easier to flick cause its in front of you

I was no joke probably doing at least 500 attempts a day not commuting for abt 4 months everyday. I took a break cus I got burned out, and the fear factor just left me during that break and I came back and just said fuck it (I had docs on, wasn’t even planning on skating hard at all that day) and landed it like third try. And since my flick was already on fleek, the kick flip wasn’t even bad

I have kickflips down but whenever I wanna do a high one or any type now it overflicks and I think that’s coz I ride a small board I’m gonna go up in size shirt key

This is probably because your body needs some rest to buil nerve pathways for your muscles. Basically your body records what muscles you twitched on "succesfuler" attempts. After resting the body builds the needed muscles and pathways, which makes yoyr stronger, more balanced, and more coordinated. This makes you more confident on the board

Whatever you find easiest. I learnt mine standing still

I was doing this last week it's kinda fun actually. I will make a video about it some time
