FAKIE KICKFLIP.
BACK TO TIPS MENU




01 This is a basic kickflip, done moving backwards. Start with your feet in the same position as a normal kickflip. Don't forget you should be fairly comfortable with normal kickflips and fakie ollies before trying these.




02 You need to be moving in order for this trick to work - it's not something you can learn still like some tricks. While rolling slowly fakie, crouch like a normal flip - although with a little more weight over the centre of the board (like leaning forwards).





03 Pop like a normal flip, again with a bit more weight over the centre of your board. This will help to stop yourself launching backward off
your board when you kick down
on the tail.

 




04 Remember it's just a kickflip, although he flip will feel strange as your moving backwards. If you remain a little lower over your board you'll find it a bit easier to balance. Catch the board as normal.

 




05 Landing these is simple if you land in the same position as you started - fakie, although at first you might be tempted to turn your body more to face the way you are moving, which means you'll be landing switch stance... As usual, aim for the truck bolts, but try and remain in fakie positioning for style.




06 As you roll away, try to hold the direction and not kickturn into normal forward riding straight away. This will take practice, but when you can do this, it will add much more style and confidence to the trick (i.e. you can land a trick alternatively without shifting back to original stance straight away). You can get these down!
