HOW TO KICKFLIP LIKE MAURIO McCOY! | Santa Cruz Skateboards

I’ve been trying to land them for so long but my back foot dosent go up. My feet always land before the board even though I have solid ollies. ppl telling me it’s a commitment issue ruined my confidence real baddd
I don’t even go to skateparks anymore

You you should always mention jumping forward when explaining tricks like this, you need to jump forward with the board in addition to all the excellent advice given here. Lots of folk learn the trick standing still and fail when rolling, same applies with Ollie's etc etc, jump forward with the board.

This is the one trick I know I have on the pro level I kick flip like 3 boards high on my normal ones and I catch it both feet and stomp

Tryna get my kickflips like maurios

really nice tutorial. very good explanation. the guy knows what he's talking about & he has completely deconstructed the trick

When he is flipping the board , his back foot is almost the same as Ollie, giving a nice and clean pop. Such a Very nice kick flip !

Heath and Kerry had the best kick flips when I grew up but this generations best kickflipper is for sure Maurio

Simple easy awesome some dudes over explain

I know he says it is all in the flick but his pop with the backfoot is lightening fast.

thank you now i will go outside and full flat on my face trying to land the kickflip stunt man style.

Am I the only who can send but still watch Ollie tutorial 😂😅

I'm on my 3rd Mario McCoy vx deck right now. Thanks for the content!!!

Took me along time to realize my rocket flips were because I didn’t put enough weight on my front foot

Which adidas are those.

Would love to be able to skate like maurio dudes a legend

Next backside 360 please.

cool, those are the questions that many people want to be answered and are afraid to do to not bother anyone xD

Thank you

i had Kickflips on lock for a long time. Since i fucked up my ankle several times its gone. glad to have those videos

Man those kickflips are cleeeeean !

Great video.many people can do em but not good

Really good video. I'm trying to improve my kickflips at the moment and this pretty much answered everything I have been wanting answers on. I think the questions the presenter asked Maurio were so helpful too! Oh and those flips are absolute butter

Hey what size is your board

Great educator, and awesome he spoke on shoulders!!

There's a lot of incorrect bio-mechanical and physics advice in this video. He knows how to kickflip well and what he thinks helps or fixes issues is not really the root cause of the issue. For example shoulders don't do much influencing of the board's directional input (you can tweak out you shoulders and KF very well), but what he should have known is vertical body axis positioning does a HUGE amount. He probably fixed his body vertical body axis by adjusting his shoulders which aligned his axis correctly. That worked for him and HIS issue but that's not the fix for others with an aligned vertical body axis. It could be sticking your butt out more, less curve in you back, more open shoulders etc etc ... it's personal regarding how you fix that and the old advice of aligning your shoulders is typically bad advice for a crowd.
He's also got the physics of how the rear foot kicks down the tail wrong. drop a weight on the left or right side of the tail and video in slow motion what part of the tail hits the ground... it's the center tip of the tail. it's all physics.

home town hero

1000

You make me wanna skate my tyshawns.. best shoes!

Good video 👍☺️

Found out yesterday I MUST kick through the nose or they always rocket and I do a disgusting heel clicker type thing. Kickflips are finally becoming fun (skating 15+ years)

funny how pros have no clues about how they what they do lmao
there's absolutely no interesting insights in his explanations
(beautiful flip tho)

Anyone know what shoes he’s using?

I love this trick. Been doing it for 18 years. I don’t even Ollie off or on stuff I go straight to kickflip. He has one of the cleanest kickflips in the game definitely one of my favorites

hey please make a frontside flip tutorial

Your about six years to late 😂

Do more of these with any trick immediately!! Maurio Breaking Down The Physics Of The Game!! Salute!!

Is unbelievable how great this is, nice job Santa Cruz skateboards! Thanks Maurio McCoy and Andrew Cannon

I learned kickflip within 5 tries over 20 years ago 😆

very good in depth explanation

Imo, kickflips are so much effort. Heck, 3flips are easier

My name's ethan. I liked some of the videos and more to come and subscribed to the channel and I counted all 33 kick flips. I've been trying to get a bigger board since last year and I started skating two years ago and I'm progressing really fast. And my current board is barely clinging to life. Missing chuncks missing out of it. I have only had 2 boards in during these 2 years and both are 3.1, I've been looking for about an 8. I don't have a way to get another board I've been looking around my town for one, I've asked people where I can get one. But I got nothing in my reach. And I saw this and I hope for the best. I really like skating it's an escape, and a daily challenge. I really don't want to stop now. So fingers crossed🤞🏻😌😬 (btw I've always wanted a Santa Cruz board).

Hey, how about your eyes? I guess you just pop and kick blindly in the air...

i can switch flip and nollie flip pretty good but my kickflips are trash lol u lose them so easily if you dont do them everyday, in my case anyway...

He does like at least 2 kickflips

Here for the giveaway!

His flip is way better than his ollie

Thanks You Maurio and all Santa Cruz crew/team!!🔥🔥🔥✌️😎 All the love from Réunion island 🙌

So proper 🔥

That kickflip is so unique and clean but I have one question please, about the trucks. How Tight is your trucks? Is it very tight or medium tight? 🛹❤️
