try not to kick your front leg out so far instead of kicking it sideways try pushing just your toe to the tip and then your leg wont go flailing off to the side.  Try a heelflip same thing only different.

The most common mistake is forgetting to punch. Punching is a big part of the front flip. Punching is just stretching up instead of whipping forwards and it helps you to go up instead of out. Anyway you should, punch, tuck, and immediately land safely by freezing. Good luck!

First off, if u are goofy, put your right foot forward close to the front screws and towards the middle not the edge, and left one behind you really close to the back edge. With both of your feet lean on your balls of ur feet, and with your left foot tip the skateboard were there is only one end of it one the floor, and at the exact same time you ROLL/SLIDE your right foot/toe upwards on the skateboard, you have to roll with enough force that the skateboard jumps into the air. If you are regular same thing just visaversa.

Kick down on the tail, slide your front foot up and push down on the nose. Then level the board out. If I remember right anyway...

place your feet so one foot is on the front part and the other on the back. You bend your knees and push off the back part, like jumping, and that's about it.

1) Push at a comfortable speed, remember the faster you go the better the pop. \n2) Place your front foot near the middle of your board, about two inches under your bolts. Put your back foot on the rear of the skate board. \n3) Squat, so you can spring yourself up. \n4) Kick your back foot down so you can pop as you jump up, your front foot should rub upward on your griptape (rough part). \n5) Make sure you tuck your knees to your chest, picking up your back foot as well to level the board at a good height. REMEMBER you are jumping forward. \n6) Then come down comfortably, both feet on the board. It will look better if both your feet are over the bolts as well as lessen the stress of impact \n7) Finally bend your legs as you touch down to give it that smooth style and roll away stocked.

Bulk up on your arms and upper body.  Then you won't have anything to worry about.  Don't throw your head back; just let it go with your body.  Arms by your ears and tight.  Just freakin' do it.  It's a trampoline!!  Actually, on a trampoline, no hands is easier.\n\nYou might start with more back walk-overs.  Then you won't have the fear of falling backwards as much.  I have fallen on my head so many times doing back flips.  Don't worry about it.\n\nBut wait, do you have any gymnastics training?  If not, back handsprings may be out of your league and you shouldn't be trying them anyway.  Try a gymnastics or tumbling class.

My best friend and i tried this one recently. A  backwards kick will do the trick. I speak from painful experience!

once you are in a 180 you turn your front wheel and do a whip with your back end and let your body go with it

Do Dips....\nEXAMPLE:\nSit on a chair and and then move forward until your butt is in the air but your arms are holding on to the chair seat(this is starting position): then move up and down with your arms! Sorry if that discription is horrible!! This move definately works though!

Get down on all fours and alternately thrust your legs straight back, kinda like a mule kick. Go for the burn!

I learned by \n1. Practicing just turning my board 180 degrees\n2. Then lifting the front edge of the board as I turned\n3. And then finally by going off a bump and jumping as I began to turn.   \n\nAbout.com has good information on basic tricks- here is what they say:\n\n1.   Ride straight at a small bump or roller with the base of your board flat.\n\n2.   Stay flat-based until you're just about to take off.\n\n3.   At the lip of the jump, spring off of your toes.\n\n4.   Rotate slowly because you're only going to spin 180 degrees.\n\n5.   Look down between your legs to spot your landing.\n\n6.   Let go of your grab and extend your legs for the landing.\n\n7.   As you absorb the landing, continue looking uphill for just a second until your board is firmly planted. Then turn and ride away smoothly.\n\n(I deleted a step- they threw in an Indy grab...)\n\nAlso, check out some of their other basic trick instructions- they're pretty good!

Learn to roll comfortably, learn to ollie. once u are confidant with the balance THEN learn kickfliups.\n\nsimilar motion to an ollie , back foot should be toey on the kick, not flat. to pop the back foot think of how your hand reacts when u touch a hot surface and you only very breifly touch it before you pull back. same when you pop . don't jump off the ground.\n\ndraw 2 lines passing diagonaly through your front deck bolts. your front foot should be placed with your heel hanging off more than for an ollie.\n\nonce you have popped the tail wait a very split second and slide your front foot in the direction of one of the lines i suggested to draw. follow the one that points towards the front kick and your heelside.\nthe other one can be used for heelflips later.\nREMEMBER to keep your shoulders in lines with your kicks and dont turn when u flip the board. \nconcentrate on keeping the board and your body (shoulders) parralel with each other and the full rotation of the flip will come later.\n\ndon't turn your body towards the front kick and catch the board with your back foot. common mistake.\n\nhover above that board and wait till you get that full kickflip. LOTS OF PRACTICE. BUT WORTH EVERY SECOND.\n\ncatch you board on the deck bolts and be stoked that you just learned your kickies propperly.
