HOW TO VARIAL KICKFLIP IN 2 minutes. W/ slowmo by Daniel Israel is a skateboarding tutorial for the Double Varial Kickflip. Daniel Israel's fast, slow-motion-heavy tutorial isolates the varial kickflip's foot setup as a direct blend of a pop shove-it back foot position and a kickflip front foot position, then describes the motion as swiping back with the back foot while flicking a normal kickflip with the front foot.

Daniel Israel's fast, slow-motion-heavy tutorial isolates the varial kickflip's foot setup as a direct blend of a pop shove-it back foot position and a kickflip front foot position, then describes the motion as swiping back with the back foot while flicking a normal kickflip with the front foot.

Key tips

  • Set your back foot exactly where you'd place it for a pop shove-it
  • Set your front foot exactly where you'd place it for a kickflip
  • Swipe your back foot back the same way you would for a pop shove-it to start the rotation
  • Flick your front foot the same way you would for a kickflip to add the flip
  • Get your standalone pop shove-it and kickflip both consistent before combining them into the varial
  • Drill the trick stationary in one place before trying it while rolling
  • Treat the combination as pure muscle memory, repetition is what makes the two motions sync
  • Only progress to rolling speed once the stationary version is consistent
