What the tutorials teach

All three tutorials agree that the double kickflip requires a harder, faster flick than a regular kickflip, achieved by moving the front foot further off the heel edge, angling it more toward the nose, and/or placing it lower toward the tail. TheSavage493 focuses on the varial-style front foot position combined with a downward (not sideways) flick. Braille isolates the flick as a separate drill before any landing attempt. VLSkate emphasizes the front foot toe-rotation toward the nose as the main driver of flip speed. The consistent advice across all three: drill the flick in isolation first, commit to landing despite primo slams, and adjust the front foot position if under-rotating.

  • Move the front foot further off the heel edge and/or to a varial/lower position on the board; combined with angling the toes toward the nose, this generates the faster flip speed needed for two rotations
  • Flick with a more downward scraping motion rather than rolling sideways off the toe; the downward component is what forces the extra rotation
  • Isolate the flick first: pop, flick super hard, and step off without landing; only start catching once the double rotation is consistent every attempt
  • Commit to landing through primo slams early on; holding back prevents the full rotation from developing

Frequently asked

What should I learn before the Double Kickflip?
The double kickflip builds on Kickflip. Get that consistent first, since the double kickflip reuses the same pop, balance, or flick.
Is the Double Kickflip hard to learn?
The double kickflip is an advanced trick. It gets much easier once you can already kickflip.
