You learning regular kiwis?
Make sure to turn your backfoot inwards so that your heel is pretty close to the board, and you shouldn't have a problem.

Well I discovered them by missing the flick on my nollie varial heels, so I learned nollie ones first. But I would say that 360 ones are easier. A good tip for them is to start with the heel of your popping foot hanging off at an angle, and the inner side of your foot against the heel-side edge of the deck.

I've done the following ones :

- kiwi flip
- 360 kiwi flip
- late kiwi flip
- late 360 kiwi flip
- nollie kiwi flip
- nollie 360 kiwi flip
- nollie 540 kiwi flip
- nollie 720 kiwi flip (sort of)
- nollie 540 bigspin kiwi flip
- nollie gazelle kiwi flip
- nollie 720 gazelle kiwi flip
- nollie 360 kiwi flip crossfoot
- nollie bigspin kiwi flip
- switch kiwi flip
- switch 360 kiwi flip
- switch 360 kiwi flip b/s revert
- switch 540 kiwi flip
- switch bigspin kiwi flip
- switch gazelle kiwi flip
- switch 540 bigspin kiwi flip
- switch 360 kiwi flip b/s body varial
- switch heelunderflip
- switch f/s 180 heelunderflip
- switch f/s 360 heelunderflip
- switch late kiwiflip
- switch late f/s heelunderflip
- switch kiwi 1/2 flip late varial 1/2 heelflip
- fakie kiwi flip
- fakie 360 kiwi flip
- fakie bigspin kiwi flip
- fakie kiwi flip body varial
- fakie late kiwi flip body varial

And probably more that I can't be bothered remembering. And my friend can do nollie 720 double kiwis :)

switch kiwi 1/2 flip late varial 1/2 heelflip

thats like impossible, along with all the gazelle ones :) i was actually hoping that i would get a reply from you, as you're a sick-nasty tech skater :)


so i should have the inside of my foot actually TOUCHING the deck? i had it close, but not touching, i just got back from kiwi sesh, i'll go have another now :)

nollie/switch 360 kiwi, which is easier?

i have no idea what you mean by that.

but nollie 360 kiwis are genrally easier, because its easier to get the board all the way around in nollie stance, like what would you find easier nollie/switch 360 shove? the chances are youll find nollie bs 360 shoves easier.

just think of a nollie 360 shove, but kinda use you back foot to guide the board around the first 90 degrees the quickly lift your front foot up.
really hard trick to explain, i might make a trick tip on them someday ;)

ok thanks, that'd be sweet :)

i guess the only reason why i wanted to learn regular ones first is it wuold just be weird to be able to nollie 360 and not reg...thats like saying

can you varial heel? nah man, i can switch laser flip though, rad.

idk jsut strange haha but at this SECOND i'm headin out the door to practice bye!
