1. Stretch thoroughly before you begin. Otherwise, you may strain or tear a muscle. This can be very painful, so be careful!\n   2. Make sure you have a trained coach who can support your body weight and is certified in gymnastics, acrobatics, or cheerleading.\n   3. Listen to your coach. He will probably help you with a few basic drills to build up to your back tuck. These could include jumping backwards onto your back on a mat, or using a wedge or cheese mat.\n   4. You need to be able to confidently perform simple moves such as a forward roll, backwards roll, handstand, cartwheel, round-off, front walkover, back walkover, and back handspring. These skills provide you with the strength and balance needed to perform a back tuck.\n   5. Begin on a good trampoline. It's best to wear a leotard or a t-shirt and cotton shorts. Jump as high as you can, pushing off through your toes. Keep your arms down by your sides, or slightly out in front of you. To get a feel for this move, stack mats five feet high behind you. Jump as high as you can, pushing through your toes, keeping a straight body, and having the correct arms position. Jump onto your back, tuck tightly, and do a backwards roll. Once you are comfortable with this, move to the next step.\n   6. Jump high, with the body position discussed in Step 5. When you have reached a good height, raise your arms up quickly and tuck tightly. Hold your knees. Pull your body over, and land erect, absorbing shock by bending your knees.\n   7. Once you are confident with this, try piecing this together in the simple tumbling pass round-off back-handspring back-tuck. Eventually, you will progress to a standing back tuck.\n   8. Good luck, and have fun!

Just try to jump simultaneously while you flip the board, and try to make the board flip right below you, and try to jump right over it, like pull your feet right back over the board. You can improve that with the practice. Also, by the way, a tip to do that, I mean, to keep the board right below you and yourself over it, is to lean a bit back to the direction of the tail, and put most  of  your weight there, before you do the flip. Like don't lean too much and lose your balance, it's just that you have to put your weight more over the tail, and try to jump without moving to any side, so as that you won't send the board away from you. It's kind of confusing, I hope this helps anyways. Good luck dude.

Tip: Standing Jump and Reach\nThe standing jump and reach:1-Start with feet shoulder width apart, body straight up and down.2-Squat slightly, explode upward, reaching toward a target or object.3-Take no steps before jumping again.4-Repeat for 1:00, rest 1:15, go again. Do 3 sets.\n \nTip: 90-Second Step Jump\n1-Stand at the side of the step, feet shoulder width apart. 2-Jump onto the step, quickly jump off step on other side.3-Repeat the process in the opposite direction.4-Begin at 30 seconds, and work your way up to 60 and finally 90 as you feel more comfortable. 5-Rest 15 seconds longer than you jumped, doing sets of 3.\nTip: Two-Foot Ankle Hops\nHere´s how to do the two-foot ankle hop:1-Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, your body straight up and down.2-Using only your ankles, hop continuously in place.3-Extend your ankles to the maximum range with each jump.4-Continue for one minute, rest 1:15, then go again. Do 3 sets.\nTip: Bleacher Sprints\nA good way to improve quickness and jumping ability is to utilize bleachers for running. This can be done on a small set or a large set. Beginners - may want to start on a small set and run up and done 3 times. Intermediate - needs to try to complete a large set of about 15-20 bleachers 3 times. Experienced - players need to complete a large set of bleachers of about 20+ bleachers, skipping every other step. Every level should take 30 second break and complete at least 3 sets.\nStart with a warm up, including a light jog, stretching, big arm swings and side-to-side movements for 10-15 minutes, and then move on to the plyometric routine.

The best way is to sign up for a tumbling class.  When you work with someone who has experience and training to teach backflips, it's a much better experience than trying to teach yourself and you'll end up with a nicer backflip.  \n\nComing in a distant second is to get a buddy to help you learn a backflip.  It's more dangerous this way but a lot of things in life are.  \n\nThis website has some tips on learning gymnastics skills.

put one foot on the back of the board and the other in the middle. press down very hard on the back of the board and slide the other foot foward. you need to jump with the board to make it happen.

In order to kickflip you first need to perfect your ollie.  Once you have take a push, ollie and instead of sliding your front foot straight up slide on an angle to about your bolts and flick your ankle where the nose meets the flat section of the board.  You may have to practice it a hundred times before you land it.  Skating is about dedication.

It's best to have someone to train you how to do it! But if you REALLY want to learn start by doing back flips off diving boards on trampolines. Then your muscles will start to remeber how to do it and then you can do it!

1.  You need to be able to ollie 1st.\n2.  Place your front foot on the side of the board below the truck blots.\n3.  Do a normal ollie.\n4.  after the tail clicks on the ground & you are airborne - kick you front foot straight down & out just a little.\n5.  The board should flip and you need to have your feet spaced apart ready to land.\n6.  Land it.\n7.  Practice, Practice, Practice & Patience.

Hey banannas a kick flip is a basic okay. Its already a regular flip. Okay dude start by riding at a slow steady and comfortable speed. Put ur back foot on the end on the curve and ur front foot in the middle of the board. Push ur back foot down and drag ur front foot all the way up the board but drag it at n angle towards u. Hope I helped thanx!!!! (6)
