if you have a snowskate that has the super lippy nose and tail practice on that and heres what you do

put just about all the weight on the your back foot so if you were to take your front foot off it would hit you in the nuts

try to ollie on it to get the feel for doing this

then instead of just kicking strait up on the ollie kick the upper left hand corner and wala

thats how i learned them but people will probly make fun of me and call me retarded

1. practice it untill youre a sweaty bloody pile
2. loosen up your ankle
3. try to play around with the spin (place that you kick it, angles, stuff like that)
4. jump higher (couldnt hurt)
5. im no kickflip expert. but dont give up, something will just sort of click one day and you'll be like, hey! i can kickflip!

There is no advice man. The only advice that is advice that anyone could give you for learning a kickflip while skating.... is keep trying.

Just try your ass off over and over, it will come bro.

1. Find a nice curb and put a crapload of wax on it.
2. ride up to the curb at a slight angle
3. Ollie and try to get both your trucks onto the edge of the curb = a 50-50

after you ollie, do this with your feet, flip the board with your front foot, bring you feet over the screws, and land centered on the grip tape. (this is for goofy footed stance - but its basically the same either way.)

then try and aim your left foot for the right corner on the board, most peoples biggest mistake is that they just shove there foot down and the board spins insainly fast and out of control, so pop, slide your foot up and hit the right corner of the curve of your board, thats what works for me, except im regular soo oposite for me

i'd go with his advice

really you just have to hit the edge of the board quick enough for it to spin. it's hard to get the right speed and place to hit the board but after you do it's pretty easy.
