WTF

how the hell has the kickflip been done on a snowboard? who the fuck put that?--72.87.255.177 (talk) 07:56, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Ummm... guys. I think Rodney Mullen invented the kickflip in 1983... seeing as how he was born then and such. So someone ought to get on that case at some point.

If Steven Lewis really is a great skater like Mullen and Caballero, then surely Google would return some hits with keywords Steven, Lewis and skate (or triple flip)? Can you provide a reference for the triple flip claim? Tp 08:11, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Ouch. Don't bother with that Steven Lewis. Just checked the article history and it's plain old vandalism. Tp 07:45, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

I thought Rodney Mullen invented the kickflip, not Alan Gelfand, he just invented the Ollie.

Daewon Song & Quadflip

Can anyone produce any sperm evidence that Daewon Song can perform a quadflip? A google search for quadflip yields only five results, about half of which stem from this article. GoodSirJava 09:17, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I googled around and found a couple articles talking about different pros that had done them. I don't think we should list them all by name, so I just took it out. --Liface 16:56, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I've seen him land one at Hawthorne Skatepark in California. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.108.154.112 (talk) 00:31, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Incomprehensible sentence

I pulled the following sentence from the end of the third paragraph, as I really couldn't make it out: "This can also be done by pushing to foot directly down and making sure to get the foot you have pushed the board down with out of the way of the spinning board." If anyone know what it's trying to say, could you rewrite it and re-add it? Incidentally, the "you" should come out: "making sure that the foot that pushed the board down is out of the way of the spinning board." But the "pushing to foot directly down" part has me scratching my head. Should that be "two feet", "the foot"; if the latter, which one?

I also removed the {{tone}} tag, as the writing seemed reasonable to me. It is, after all, a specialized vocabulary. -- Mwanner | Talk 19:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

i'm fairly certain that it's supposed to say "the" foot, not to. even in skateboarding lingo that makes no sense. Emb gunther (talk) 09:49, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Variations

The last sentence says pressure flips are considered taboo in modern skating, that is not true pressure flips are used in flip out of boardslides which is an advanced trick.So I think some one should delete that sentence it is only the opinion of whoever wrote that paragraph. He was talking about the kind of "kickflip" where you ride down the street and kind of pressure flip the board and it more does a barrel roll on the ground then anything and usually moves about 2 feet behind you. That trick is garbage now adays.

animation

I think it would help out, to have some sort of moving image, just to get a better understanding of the trick. Who's up for it? AlexWangombe (talk) 01:35, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

anti-kickflip?

^- The anti-kickflip is a flip trick where you flick your toe in the direction of a heelflip.

When you add that 20mg mdma with the 2c-b 3h after the candy flip. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.67.135.115 (talk) 14:37, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Wrong Photo

In the "execution" section, the trick depicted is not a Kickflip. It is most likely a 360 flip. In the first photo you can clearly see the skater scooping the tail, which is something you'd not want to do when you kickflip. In the second photo the board is clearly not parallel to the skaters axis as it would be when doing a kickflip.

Please correct this mistake! It is by 100% not a kickflip! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.179.158.176 (talk) 10:28, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
