the best advice i've ever had for kickflips is just remember they're flicks with your lead foot, not a push. flicking your outside toe helped so much in learning. try it.

idk it is really hard to explain to someone how to like do tricks without actually like showng them in person but i guess i can try. when you are doing a kickflip you put your feet in position like you are going to ollie but you put your front foot on the edge of your board. then you ollie and like slide your front foot off the edge of the board and like push down....idk it is really hard to explain stuff

Skateboarding is a sick sprot, but hard to get good at.  Im working on 30flips rights now.
For kickflips, snap your toe down.
And to ollie straight, make sure your feet are straight, and that you donw turn your legs or body.
180's just try and twist with the board, its all hard to explain without showing you.
Look up some skate videos and they usually help.

im not trying to sound like a cocky fag. But im ok at skating. best advice for kickflips are put your front foot, like an inch below the bottom bolts, and flick the edge of your board with your toes. Make sure to jump with it or else you wont catch it properly. And try to catch it with your back foot, and bend your knees when you land it. And thats the best i can explain it to ya. good luck man!

for a backside 180, think of it as more of an ollie then a twist, that helped me alot there pretty easy to do once you get them down. The hard thing is just landing in the right spot so you don't slip out or fall back
