kick flip is kind of a hard trick, but if you keep at it and you'll get it.

This site has some cool tips on all different variations of flips.   It's also a t.v. channel I think...?

Question. When you um flick your front foot for a kickflip do you go at an angle? is it like strait off of your board? or is it still the side of your foot like an ollie but you just kinda go to the side? ha i'm lost

I always land my kickflips on the nose or with the back foot on the nose and the fron foot in front of the nose. It's like the board always falls behind my body. I've tried leaning back, jumping back, flicking straighter off the nose and yet it still seems to fall behind my body. I have attached two picture to show what I mean.

This is pretty funny, I learned how to do complicated varials before i learn most of my tricks, It took me forever to learn how to ollie, but once I learned  it just blew up from their. This is going to sound lame, but I invested in a large teck deck and studied how to make the board do what I wanted it to do. the easiest way to learn a trick, I have found, is to become infatuated with it, but if you can't get it that day or night work on something else. Sometimes it will shed light into that area from a different angle you know what I mean,? Plus you should give yourself a break.

place your front foot higher to get a nice horizontal flip. i place my foot a bit behind the front bolts and have it about half off my foot hanging off and it turns into a nice caught kickflip which is pretty high.

okay, when you land on the graphic side of the board, it can be one of a shit load of problems. You might not be jumping high enough, you have to bend your knees in the air and get your feet out of the way so the board can do the whole rotation. You might not be ollieing high enough, just like your feet, the ground could interphere with the rotation. Or, you might not have the flicking motion down just yet. That was the hardest part when I learned the kickflip, just practice flicking your foot off your board. I used to actually stand just behind my board and jump and flick my foot a few times, then when I stood on the board I'd do the exact same thing and I'd land it.
 
      And u also said u wanted help with big spins. If u can't already do 360 shuvs, then u should learn those first. I find it easier to learn fakie first. So to do a fakie bigspin, you want to to a fakie 360 shuv, but just before you start the shuv, start twisting. When your body is at the point where its facing forward, SPIN ! watch the board, catch it, there ya go, fakie big spin.
