The kickflip

Freestyle will be back!!!
I hope.
I want to bring it back. I concentrate more on freestyle than street now.

most ppl, like me start off just by riding around with easy stuff, watching pros flippin bigspins and almost peeing themselves with glee. then they start with ollies, getting better with practice, (well most of the time) then come easier stuff like shuvits etc....nd then comes the first complicated basic trick, yeah you know its the kickflip, or heelflip

then they learn whatever the fudge they like lol. The most recent triicks i have (almost) got down l8ly are the 50-50 saran wrap around (i can get into one easily but then fall off, if i cheat by just hopping straight onto it i can do the wrap around itself but can hardly ever land it ) um almost got heelflips and kickflips, and the fingerflip

and one last thing could sum 1 tell me whats the difference between a caveman and an acid drop in? my thingy majiggy is skatemate666@hotmail.com

I can land Fingerflips in tail stop position (if that's what you call it). I'm working on my own little combo now - Switch Foot Pogo to Saran Wrap to Pogo.

I think my kickflip's are slightly improving , but me Heelflips are poo poo.

yeah same here, i have landed only 4 proper kickflips in my life, i have landed sum more but my feet slip off or something, and my heelflips suck too

i lost my kickflips again... i havent skated properly for so long, and its so annoying to loose such a basic trick... ah well, it must be those new wheels haha not

He did ya know.. copying me he was, as I somehow managed a few as well

Got to use my longboard as well, which was cool.

i have never touched a longboard in my life, no where to get one here cept on the internet, and of course they scare me......

fear of longboards, thats a new one

don't worry, im sure they don't bite.

haha yeah me and wigs had a half hour session of bombing that ever-so-fast tunnel and drop knee turns.

longboards arent scary, i think theyre quite sexy personally.

well since I got one all my girly friends want to have a go and spend more time with me, so I think Holden your onto something bout them being sexy.

Longboards have so much more control when speeding around they arent scary going down big hills.

they look like sharks! and it looks like you could slip off easily

Funny story actually, i was on Wigs' longboard just going down this "downward slope" at the school, which i do almost everyday on my board, and when i got to the bottom, it just slipped out, and i fell down, wasn't much i could do about it either, as i was carrying my board in my arm, so it kinda hurt when i hit the ground.

right you were going down a slope at school when the it slipped, and you were carrying the board? im afrad that you have confused me once again

and skatemate666.. if Dave makes a mistake.. i will have made sure you knew about it before you even read his post! hehe.. im impressed Dave.. either im getting sloppy or your spelling, grammar and punctuation is getting really good.. again... i havnt corrected you in a long time.. heheh

Daf.

riiiight.....corrections, an insane mans worst but only friend/ enemy

I learned the ollie first of course, Then I moved onto kickflips and 180's after about 2 months I was getting s*** kickflips and I had mastered the ollie at a ok hight and 180's. Then I moved onto Verial flips and shovit and heelflips. The manuals and so on.

Of course it wasnt the first trick I learnt, pppppointless I say.

It took me 3 weeks to learn to ollie (first trick apart from pivots....) then did pop shove-it which i didnt learn....i just, um, discovered I could do it i guess. Took me 3 weeks to learn to kicklfip (and darn painful weeks at that, darn board kept beating me up)....it wasnt until after 3 years of skating (last summer at cardigan skate park) until I could really KICKFLIP, as in a REAL kickflip with awesome height and control....wish i could do it now got to get back on that one.

Wow...so easy to forget the point, i know someone who did learn to kickflip as his first trick...he impressed everyone around until they all found out to their disappointment that it was utterly pointless learning to kickflip first...

lucky....its better to have kickflipped and lost then to have never kickflipped at all. but mine just plain suck so ya knooow...
