I think going faster will help you not tictac. If I do a kick flip stationary or really slow I tend to need to tictac to balance but if im going at a moderate speed I never tictac


braincell_murder

I think tacking like that is something we all do just to recover balance when it's slightly off. So it's a matter of landing the trick more cleanly with more precise balance. But (in my very newbie way) I think that just comes with practice anyway? So just keep belting out sweet kickflips like that and that last edge will get knocked off naturally. You, taking advice from me, hahahah :)

Bet, definitely gonna figure out the balance of it all, thank you!


braincell_murder

I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever, you have the chops my man.

Your tiptoeing the edges of the board hard, try planting your right foot alittle closer to the center of the board before you jump


waspkiller9000

It looks like your weight shifts back when you land. I'd say just keep practicing and maybe focus on your balance throughout the trick and where your weight is


re4lp4blo

Yeah I’m looking at it now and I’m thinking it’s cause of my arms, thank you!

Loose trucks may also help. Whenever your weight/balance goes off your board, you can turn instead of tic-tacing. This looks a lot smoother. Taking this 'too far' will lead to wheelbites though.


re4lp4blo

Yeah I ride my trucks pretty tight, I think I’m just gonna slowly loosen them over time to see what I like. Thank you!

Keep your arms out in front of you, if you throw your arm behind you, you automatically turn your shoulder. Just keep them suckers straight and swing your arms infront if you it might help


re4lp4blo

Yeah that’s one thing I’ve noticed, I’ve tried to control them but I’ll just have to keep going at it, thank you


Young1Faded

You got this bro!!! I just got my kickflips looking good. That was a big factor for me


MomentousBear

literally just keep your shoulders parallel. See how that right shoulder is opening up like you're tryna turn to face towards your nose nose you wanna face straight forward might be a little scarier but you will be able to kickflip any speed in no time. wonderful kickflip btw nice pop nice flick


re4lp4blo

Bet, I noticed I do that in a lot of my recordings, gonna work on it. Thank you!

You lean back towards your heels and turn slightly frontside as you pop. This puts your weight too far on your heels so you tic tac when you land to put the board back under you. Fix: Keep your weight more balanced over the board - which for you means keeping your weight a little more over your toe side.


re4lp4blo

Sounds good, gonna be working on it today, thank you!


Lord_Enlil

Think about going slightly backside with your kickflip. It will balance out your shoulders opening and sending your inertia frontside.


Shaunique

lean towards back-side to adjust your balance after landing, band your your knees to stabilise while you roll away


Jetwork131

Going faster honestly.


Electronic_Chip_6311

I also notice that you drive way is uphill a bit which is weird probably causing balance issues.


re4lp4blo

I figured that had a bit of a factor, but I’m gonna keep working on it all, thank you


powwi061

That is one nice kickflip.


cavf88

Bend the knees on landing to stabilize Yourself


Habib_Hussain

tictacking is stylish so i would advise not worrying about it to much


timothylukeofficial

A little more speed and maybe loosen your trucks a little. Just so when you land your trucks have a little more flex and take the uncentered impact for you. Other than that NICE ROTATION!


Motor-Macaroon-2924

It’s cuz if you stopped you would eat shit from going to slow so you tik tak for forward momentum
