Master skateboarding's signature trick by flicking the board with your front foot while jumping, making it spin 360 degrees before landing back on it. This fundamental flip trick requires months of practice, perfect timing, and the commitment to slam into concrete repeatedly until you nail it. Landing your first clean kickflip is a rite of passage that opens the door to advanced skateboarding.

โ€œWill I ever land it?" "Will I injure myself?" "Will I land primo and eat s**t?". I was completely obsessed with the kickflip, and so tensed that I couldn't sleep after the previous session. It felt really good once I finally landed, though. But for the next tricks, I'll be much more relaxed. It won't be a problem at all if I don't land them.โ€

โ€œthank you!! i landed my first kickflip yesterday but i couldnโ€™t get one on film, this is the first one ive landed on film. [...] ikr, i was screaming when i first landed it. it felt so much better bc i skate a 9.25 board with wider trucks and big wheels so it was harder to do kickflips on it.โ€
