What this video teaches

Aaron Kyro's foundational two-minute Braille tutorial, one of the most-watched kickflip videos ever, focusing on the front foot 45-degree angle and the key insight that the foot flicks upward off the board rather than downward.

Key tips

Front foot at a 45-degree angle just below the front bolts, back foot perched on the tail with the ball ready to pop
Bend the front knee first, lifting the nose slightly, while applying pressure on the back foot for the pop
The flick comes from sliding the front foot up and off the front-side edge, watch the white wear marks on the board
The knee and foot rotate together as the foot slides up, that rotation is what spins the board
The foot flicks upward off the board, not downward; pushing down cancels the flip
As soon as the board completes the flip, catch it with the back foot at the back truck first
Keep both feet above the board during the spin so you are ready to step on when it comes around
Spot the board completing the rotation, then drop your legs and land
