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.

things to remember​​

• Back foot on the tail, slightly centred so you can use your toes to get more pop

• 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
