Enuff Academy

KICKFLIP

In this episode, Geoff will be teaching you arguably the most famous trick in skateboarding – the Kickflip.

We'd like to say a big thank you to ATBShop Skate Warehouse for letting us film in their park and Geoff from Rubicon for his time and expertise.

Start with your back foot on the tail, slightly centred so you can use your toes to get more pop.

Place your front foot on the heel edge, just before the front bolts, pointed up the board.

Pop the Ollie and slide your front foot up the board and off the corner to initiate the flip.

When you see the grip tape coming round, try and get your feet back onto the bolts.

Pro tip: when you are learning, pressing downwards as you slide your front foot will make the board spin faster, but may not look as nice.

We hope you enjoyed this Enuff Academy, now get skating!
