Pop down the tail real hard and you'll start to catch air. Whatever it takes to get out of the boards way. You may want to practice stationary jumps from the board lifting your knees and your feet as high as possible. Back to the kickflip. Do what you have to do to get your feet out of the way.
Some skaters kinda pull their legs out like jumping jacks or doing the splits.
You should try to plant your feet on the bolts as you catch the board. All rights reserved.
