I want to learn kickflips. Does anyone have any tips on landing them? I've only tried it once, like last yr, and I go the board 1/2 the way around not knowing wut I was doing. Thanks

there is antoher post on this, you should read that, that mgiht help, i saw in WBM, Danny Hampson does them, he does them more like on a skateboard, he pops the board, slides hid foot up and kicks out, like on a skateboard, maybe you could try that, or try different variations to find the one that works for you, sry if i didnt help much

learn them on a skateboard. if you can't do that don't waste your time trying them. once you lerarn them on land do the same thing on the water.

Well, I tried kickflips like four times today. I got REALLY close to landing one. I was able to nicely flip the board all the way around the first 2 trys. I just couldn't keep my feet over it. On the third try, the board didn't flip the same and did 1/2 of a varial kickflip and cut up my leg. So my fourth one was all about gettin the balls to keep tryin'. Hopefully I will land one soon. Later, Chris

actually to who ever said it was just like a skateboard. doin kickflips. its really different. on a skateboard u flick it out. on a wakeskate u kick the board down with ur front instead of out.

i dont, i kick some down and some out. but i agree it is totaly different the on a skateboard. my kickflips look like a skateboarder kickflip but its way different to actualy throw it.

Kicking your foot off the nose is more if you have a bit of air i think e.g. w2w. But just flickng your foot is usually done just off an ollie. Either can be done though.
