HOW TO DOUBLE FLIP THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL by Braille Skateboarding is a skateboarding tutorial for the Double Kickflip. Aaron Cairo from Braille breaks the double flip into three isolated drills: flicking only (back foot steps off, no landing attempt), back-foot-catch practice to stop the second rotation, and then the full catch.

What this video teaches

Aaron Cairo from Braille breaks the double flip into three isolated drills: flicking only (back foot steps off, no landing attempt), back-foot-catch practice to stop the second rotation, and then the full catch. The key instruction is moving the front foot further off the heel edge compared to a regular kickflip to force a faster spin rate, and training each phase separately before combining them.

Key tips

  • Move the front foot further off the heel side of the board compared to a regular kickflip; more foot off the board means a faster spin rate
  • Drill the flick in isolation first: pop, flick super hard, and step off the back foot without trying to land; only move to catching once the double rotation is consistent
  • After mastering the flick, practice stopping the rotation with the back foot by stepping off the front foot and letting the back foot catch the board
  • The board will often land primo or upside down while learning; plan for that and commit to practicing each phase rather than going for the full trick too early
  • Same base motions as a regular kickflip (pop, slide, flip, catch, land) but the front foot position further off the board is the only mechanical adjustment
