What is a good way to do flips tricks/ any trick at a fast speed? I want to be able to do k-flips, heel flips, and varials at a reasonable speed before i move onto something else so i feel more comfortable with them.


any tips or anything i should know?

commitment. if you commit 100% when you go fast, chances are, you'll land them (provided that your stationary heels varials and k's are consistant)

Commit and the faster you go the more likely you are to catch it.

If you have your trick consistant i find it helps to just focus on the catch.

yea usually when i try to do kickflips when i go fast il end up landing in a raildtand which sucks

Try do the tricks while gradually getting faster. Don't try and go real fast right of the bat. Just push off a few times and do the trick then get it consistant and when you feel comfertable with it try pushing off a few more times. Another thing is just commit to what you are doing. This seemed to help me a bit. Good luck.

ehh i can't skate today my feet kill from an 8-mile bike ride.. ill do it tommorow

once you get them extreamly consistent without moving then you should be good just try faster and faster until boom kickflip 50 inches accross haha!

find a hill

Yeah, just get comfortable at medium pace, then gradually build up. Really, it's all commitment and I find that I can only do tricks while going really fast when I'm really pumped. Clean, high kickflips going really fast are the best feeling ever

Doing tricks at fast speeds scare the crap out of me, if i'm going real fast.

But just keep doing them, then gradually start trying them faster.

i have the same problem but my xtreme problem is im afraid to land it cause i dont want to land it into a manual and break my arm. any tips for me?

180s are good on high speed.

i agree, as long as you get the full 180 rotation or you go bye bye :]

I can't go fast when I do my tricks or.. fail.

Try gradually increasing your speed and doing the trick.

yea just gradually build up your speed

Yeah, I've been wondering this too, and I agree with everyone else, just go gradually increasing speed.

Nice! That's what you gotta do....grow some balls kids!

When I was a kid, I was the one skating as fast as I could. It's so much more fun to skate fast. Especially if you're in a line. The less you have to push, the sicker you are.
