  1. hay man i can get my olie high enough but like when i try to kickflip it always gets away from me can you help

  2. I can do my pop shuvits just fine but it’s the way I land it.The way I land it is I can only land with my front foot and my back foot goes out to the side.Help please

  3. I Got A Question!!

    well every time i go and try a trick i can never seem to keep my self above to board long enough for it to do full rotation. it really frustrates me.. it makes me wanna give up skateboarding but i don’t want to!!

  4. im new i can ollie over a skateboard but i need help with my kick flip im flipping it but i cant land

  5. How can I make my kick flips better? I have a video on my phone I would like to show you so you could help me out.

  6. im having trouble with my kickflips i do the spin ok but i can only land my front foot on it and the other one goes to the floor i have done kickflips befor bit only twice plz help me

    • I had that problem for around a year i couldnt land a kickflip.. i just changed my shoes to a half size smaller so they were tight on my feet.. and then it was just the balls to land it thats really all you need to do.

    • I am fairly good at kickflips and what I did to fix that problem is to try just catching the board with just your back foot, then when u understand and get the catch feel with both feet try putting them both together and slake the tail down flick out with your toes and lean over your front set of bolts, hope this helps :)

  7. when i kickflip my flick foot automatcally goes straight down to the ground. no matter how hard i try to keep it in the air. i got the flip perfect but just cant land my flick foot back on the board

    • Seems like your abit afraid of the landing. When i learned my Varial Kickflip i did it out on the grass with my old trucks and wheels. May be other ways, but it worked for me :)

  8. when i do the kickflip, my left foot (the foot i use to flick) goes back on the ground before the board lands while my right foot stays on perfectly.. HELP PLEASE!!

    • It may be fear. I had that too. Overcome it.
      and, It may be, that your popping foot( right foot ) is too far back. Move it up front..

  9. Thanks for the videos and the breakdowns on the tricks dude, I started skating about a year ago and was trying to ollie using Muska’s how to video, which is good, but he doesn’t break it down into more simple steps like you do. (traditional “all at once) I recently found your videos on youtube by chance, and thanks to you, I’m getting better at the ollie stationary and got a half-kickflip and one shuv-it accomplished. I’m working on them as often as time allows. Again, thanks bro, I owe you one.

  10. Why cant i land my kickflips? When i flip my board i jump back n let the board spin perfectly but when i try to stay stationary over my board when i jump the board flips diagnally forward away from me. I try to jump in that direction but the board doesn flip all the way, i land on the bottomside. So when u kickflip do u jump forward?

    • It may be, because you’re flicking from the nose. I mean :
      Skateboard : ( ; = where you flick )
      But you should try :
      And when you flick, don’t let your flicking foot touch too much of the caving, and flick out,not forwards.

  11. Im 16, I skated when I was 10 till I turned 11, I would probably not stop if I did not have to come to England. Now Im going back to it, but Im a little concerned with my pushing and popping, I ride with my right foot, but also pop with my right foot, its like my right foot is my front and back foot at the same time. Can you help me out on this, I honestly dont know if I should change the way Im skating. Its just comfortable that way.

    • Your stance is mongo it is fine skating that way i have heard people say its easier to push with ur back foot but my friends all push mongo and they are sponserd by a couple local skateshops so its all good.

    • You push mongo. It’s okay. But at fast speeds, you can lose your control when pushing.
      Try to learn how to push with your left foot on the front bolts.

  12. Just started skating, my stationary ollies are solid, what the best way to transition to moving ollies, any suggestions.

    • just do the same thing as your stationary except when moving, jump forward.(forward as in towards the nose of your board)

  13. Hi, I need help on kickflips I’ve been skating for about 6, 7, 8 years, mostly vert I’ve tried kickflips everything’s good but I can’t bring back the foot i flick with fast enough to catch it. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!! NOT MY REAL EMAIL so please send me a message on Facebook.

    • Im not sure what your asking exactly? If you need help with any tricks please upload a video if you can and post it on the Skate Support page and I will help you out man!

    • I’m skatting like 1 year but I can do kickflip, heelflip, varial kickflips. just you have to be in the air with your twice feet.
      try try and try many times :)

  14. how about 180 ollies? i want to know how to do those better. when i do them, it’s more like a 90 degree ollie. and i don’t land it!

  15. is it wort it to learn skateboarding when you’re 17? i mean seriously… GOD! i think im too old for this…

    • Yes man absolutely. I know it may seem like your old now at 17 but wait until your like 30 then your gonna look back and say “I really wish I learned how to skateboard at 17!” Trust me man your not old hit it hard and fast now!

      • i’m 37 and skated way back in the ‘public domain’ days and i’ve just recently taken it up again…apart from the odd comment from young skaters i am loving it and enjoying learning from aaron kyros videos…your never too old even though my body tells me i am sometimes.

        • Thanks a lot! Thats awesome that you are still skating! If you have a camera or iphone or something it would be rad if you could send me a video of some tricks I would like that!

    • I did make a tutorial on Frontside Pop shove its if you search it you will find it. Ill have to double check and make sure I put it up here…. Its on my youtube for sure

  16. With ollies it just takes time and loads of practice.
    It took me ages to learn how to ollie same with my friend.
    Just keep with bro you’ll get there

      • i’m 13. i have been skating since i was 7, but i still can’t do anyything but ollie 2-3 inches high. i need to practice more, but i’m sure eventually, i will be good.

    • generally its not about the jump but its all about how you flick the board to control it and keep it under you man!
