There are several tricks that any self-respecting skateboarder must be able to perform. So, every experienced craftsman knows how to make a kickflip — an interesting and incredibly spectacular technique when the board makes a full turn under a man who jumps over it, who then catches it with his feet and lands with it. Beginners have a lot of difficulties making a kickflip on a skateboard, and many of them sometimes have a fear of this trick, because outwardly it seems extremely difficult to perform and requires a lot of effort.

Making a kickflip, meanwhile, is not as difficult as it might seem. If you work out the correct technique of performing the jump right away, there will hardly be any problems with it in the future. A well-trained skateboarder's body seems to remember the necessary movements by itself and will repeat them automatically. It takes some preparation to make a kickflip. At the time of learning this trick, a skateboarder should be able to stay well on the skateboard, bounce along with the board and land perfectly.

In general, it is virtually impossible to make a kickflip without first mastering "ollie", which is considered a basic trick exercise that allows you to overcome various obstacles. To perform the ollie, place one foot on the tail (back) of the skate, and the other foot approximately in the middle of the board, between the suspensions. Then quickly slide this second foot towards the front concave (protrusion) of the skate and hit it. Immediately try to bend both legs at the knees. The board will rise after the feet. These skills will come in handy later when you need to make a kickflip.

When planning to make a kickflip, the first training sessions on mastering its technique should be conducted not in motion, but from a place. However, everything is strictly individual here: some skateboarders, on the contrary, get faster tricks directly while riding the board. Find out this nuance experimentally. You can't make a kickflip without proper footwork. The hint is on the diagram. The feet are positioned approximately the same as before performing the ollie, except that the front leg is not placed parallel to the back, but at about an angle of 20-45 degrees to it and with the heel slightly hanging from the deck.

When preparing to make a kickflip, sit down lower — the height of the jump directly depends on the depth of the knee bend. Now quickly but quite smoothly slide the toe of your front foot towards the concave and click on it, and then move this foot up to the left or right, depending on whether you are riding a goofy skateboard or a regulator. Synchronize further actions. So, right at the moment of the click, tuck your hind leg under you. Otherwise, you will not be able to make a kickflip, because under the influence of a click, the tail of the skate will rise up strongly, and your feet should not interfere with it.

In an effort to make the kickflip correctly, try to pick up the board with your feet at the right moment, otherwise the trick will fail and you will land separately from the skate. To avoid such an embarrassment, catch the moment when the angle of rotation of the board is about 270 degrees, and then lower your feet onto it, trying to stop the rotation of the skate with this movement. Now land without bending your knees — this will keep you stable and soften the impact when you come into contact with the ground. Press your feet on the surface of the skate evenly.

Recommendations

- When learning any tricks in skateboarding, try to protect yourself as much as possible from hypothetical injuries, because a novice trickster, at least, will hardly be able to do without falls and bruises. Wear a special protective helmet, knee pads, etc. on your head, knees, and some other parts of your body. Training should be done in the most comfortable skateboarding shoes and non-restrictive clothing.

- When performing a kickflip, slide your front foot on the board before clicking, rather than hitting it, otherwise you risk getting hit by a skate between your legs.
