Expertise
I have been skateboarding for around 7 years; I have extensive knowledge on street skating, including all sorts of flip tricks, tips on popping higher ollies, grinds, slides, rails, ledges, and park skating including transitions.

Experience
Before you email me asking "how do i kickflip??" you should practice it, what can I do, magically make you learn it? All I can do is give helpful tips, so try to ask serious questions, please. Also, I can and will not sponsor you, so don't bother asking.

Question
im just learning how to skate board i can ollie grind and others i need to know how to do a kickflip and heal flip can someone show me the correct place were i should put my feet and how to do it.

Answer
There's no "right" way to put your feet for any trick, it's all what feels most comfortable to you. For kickflips, I'd try keeping your front foot just under the front bolts, angled slightly, and pop an ollie. Instead of leveling it out when you slide, you're going to flick your toe off the side, causing it to flip. Stay over the board and land back on. Heelflips, hang your toe off the edge just under the front bolts, pop, slide your foot up, and kick the board to make it spin. Same concept. Practice those, they'll take lots of time. Good luck.
