What this video teaches

Aaron Kyro's stripped-down kickflip breakdown covering foot placement, pop, and the front-foot flick-up motion. Flagged as transferable technique, not a triple kickflip lesson — but the flick-up cue (the board turns because your foot lifts up, not down) is the exact motion a triple kickflip repeats three times in quick succession, making this a solid base-mechanics reference.

Key tips

  • Place your front foot at a 45-degree angle just below the front bolts, and perch your back foot on the tail ready to pop
  • Bend your front knee to lift the nose while pressing down through your back foot to generate the pop
  • Slide your front foot up and let it turn naturally as you flick — this turning motion flips the board, not a sideways kick
  • Flick your front foot up and off the board rather than down; a downward flick is the most common beginner mistake
  • Catch the board with your back foot right at the back truck as soon as it finishes flipping, then bring your front foot down
  • Have ollies solid before attempting this, since the pop mechanics carry directly over
  • Practice the flick motion repeatedly until it's automatic enough to repeat quickly — the base skill a triple kickflip later compresses into one jump
