1 thing i noticed i did when i was trying them is i tryed to hit the tail and slide my foot sideways, and that usually made it go somewhere other than right under me, you have to acctally slide you foot up the deck when you hit the tail, but slide it off the corner and it should spin right, oh and lean forward

Slide your front foot forward, not the the back.

Lean forward more. Trust me, I skate, and I kickflip. Also, don't push forward a bit with your back foot, and make sure you are moving.

well i used to skate.... and when i kickfliped... i had my front foot near the middle, tippytoe off the edge of the board... do an ollie.. and then kick down to make the board spin... but ne ways.. why would u want to learn a new trick on a skateboard instead of on a scooter?... i mean if your scootering and trying to get better, then why switch over on to an other sport... i dont mind skateboards or anything...i dont no just my opinion :p

that makes no sense. alot of people do other stuff besides scooter. when im at the skatepark i ride kids skateboards and bmx alot and i try to learn tricks on them... its not a bad thing.

if anything more kids should ride bmx, itd make them alot better at scootering

biking deffinitly helps, thats why i can spin really fast on scooters, because i can pull 360's on a bike with no problem. i almost get them off curbs now
