About Max 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 hi. ive been trying 2 learn backside flips for a while now. i havent been able 2 get them all the way around. i saw on the darkstar video that mike hastie does a kickflip up a 3 stair and slides it around. how is this done?
Answer Hey. Backside flips are a hard one, you need to be able to backside 180 smoothly and of course kickflip before you try it. The way you do it is: kickflip normally but turn 90 degrees backside. When you catch the kickflip, you use your legs to turn the board the rest of the way, if you're on flat you'll probably slide around like Hastie, which looks awesome (learn how to slide with a normal back 180 first), and if you're taking it down something, you catch it 90 and use your legs to turn the rest of the way. It's a trick that you just need to practice every day on, teach yourself how to do it. Good luck.
