How to Kickflip on a Tech Deck

Step 1
To start with, you will have to place your middle finger on the tail, along with our index finger on the logo. This position is considered to be a basic position to perform various other tricks on a tech deck, like, an ollie and a heelflip.

Step 2
To perform the kickflip on a tech deck, you will have to roll it back and then push it ahead with your fingers. Press the tail with your middle finger which is placed on it, and while you are popping the tail down, your index finger should glide up the tech deck towards you, to facilitate proper control. If you know how to perform an ollie on a tech deck, this will sound familiar. The only difference here is, while sliding the finger towards you, you will have to curve it a little bit.

Step 3
While flipping the tech deck in air, ensure that both your fingers are in contact with the tech deck all the while it is in air. Do not let any of the two fingers loose contact of the tech deck, or else you will loose control and also wont be able to land properly.

Step 4
The only part remaining in learning how to kickflip on a tech deck, is the landing. It is crucial as you want to culminate your performance in a decent manner. While landing the tech deck, keep in mind to let it come down on all four wheels. This is the perfect landing. In case you falter, by landing on one of the sides, simply push forward till the tech deck regains it's balance, and move ahead nonchalantly, pretending that is exactly what you intended to do!

How to Kickflip on a Tech Deck: Tips and Warnings

* You will find the kick flip much easier if you already know how to do an ollie on a tech deck. Also, after learning how to kickflip on a tech deck well, you can start using your thumb instead of the middle finger for even better control and movement.
* If you have any young children in the house, keep them away from the tech deck as they can put it in their mouth and swallow it easily.
