Aaron Kyro's classic beginner-facing tutorial emphasizing that the back foot does all the work, with the scoop motion cocking under the board and scraping the ground hard while the front foot simply waits in place to catch.

Key tips

  • Back foot goes to the side of the tail with toes hanging off so the toe can hook under and scoop the board around a full 360
  • Front foot stays in the standard 45-degree kickflip position, maybe slightly more on the board
  • The back foot scoops by cocking under the board and scraping around fast and hard, not sliding across: a bent back knee confirms good scoop shape
  • Front foot gives only a small flick and then stays in the air waiting for the board to come back around
  • On 360 flips you catch with your front foot, not the back foot as in regular kickflips
  • You do not need to jump high: proper flick underneath makes the board come to you
  • Take off and land in nearly the same spot: the board rotates under you without traveling far
  • Use the wheel crack drill (back wheels in a crack) to hold position steady while learning the scoop
