How To Double Kickflip (detailed guide)

What this video teaches

Justin Savage gives a concise double kickflip guide focused on front foot position and flick direction. He places the front foot at varial position (halfway down the board, angled slightly), positions the back foot at the very tail edge for maximum pop height, and instructs a conscious downward flick rather than the sideways roll of a regular kickflip to force two full rotations. He addresses under-rotation and board-turning as the two main issues and recommends committing to the landing even through primo slams.

Key tips

• 1Front foot at varial position: halfway down the board and angled slightly, NOT in the standard kickflip spot
• 2Back foot at the very edge of the tail for maximum pop height, same as you would for a super-high ollie
• 3Flick direction is more DOWNWARD than a regular kickflip: scrape down the board rather than rolling sideways off the toe
• 4Pop as hard as possible and make a conscious effort to flick downward to force two full rotations
• 5Under-rotation fix: move the back foot further off the tail edge or the front foot higher toward the nose for more flip speed
• 6Commit to landing even though primo slams are frequent early on: committing is what trains the full rotation timing
