Is Ludwig’s Kickflip Progression Realistic?

what's up and welcome skaters back to another video today we're going to be doing something really cool cuz I think this is sick one of my favorite YouTubers Ludwick has just decided that he's going to learn how to skateboard and better yet he's doing it on stream now you may have seen a few other twitch streamers do this over the past few weeks months and get into skateboarding and learn a few tricks notably Maya and Ricky was teaching her I think I saw that video the other day but this one I feel like I'm going to go through and critique because lwig is one of my favorite YouTubers and if I can offer anything to help I'm happy to do so so with all that being said let's jump straight into it and check out this one this is the first stream that they did this was done 14 hours ago actually and this is I stream until I learn OE so we're going to watch a little bit of this offer a little bit of a critique and then we're going to go over his kickflip stream and watch through some of that and see if we can offer some tips and see if he actually lands it cuz I've only seen the thumbnails and titles of these videos I've not watched anything further so all that being said let's jump straight into it all right so this is the first stream and this is his streaming until I learned how to ollie this was done 14 hours ago did he do it I don't know we're going to go through this check out a few of the attempts check to see if he landed it at the end and then we're going to go through the stream that he did right after this which was streaming until I learned kick flips which was only an hour long so perhaps he did it perhaps he hurt himself I don't know either way I'm going to jump straight into that right after this one but first we're going to watch a bit of this OE video because I want to see what love was capable of let's go e this is great so as you can see they're doing it in like an office Block it's wet at least he's got helmet it's good what here I'm going to so look hold up last time on Dragon Ball I've been hitting all these like it's nobody's business I shove it high he's been hitting all these like it's nobody's business higher than any human's ever done it true without Landing here you go get get involved a pop shove it higher than anyone's ever done it without Landing here so look look what happens so as you go up perfect okay so this is something that I recommend to all beginners to do film their progress so they can see what they're doing right and wrong it never flicks you're just bringing your foot up but you're not actually flicking your toe okay this is kickflip attempts so I'm going to go to uh fast forward to some of the attempts and see what see what he's going for because this looks like it's still the OE according to the title anyway when you're 63 it's tough you know or maybe he just did the ol super quick all right okay we're definitely trying kick flips now so we'll stick with this because we're not going to search for that ol they're rotating this is actually a really good idea with the chairs I can't lie anything better we would have here it's great to have something to hold yourself up with so that when you flip the board you can hold yourself in the air to make sure you have enough air time to land back on it safely and right now I think he's got the board far too close to the chairs it's not got enough room to do its thing it has if youve got like a control flick but the way he's going to be learned it's not quite enough room if you ask me you'd be much better off with like some climbing frame handles or something similar to that we did a hospital flip there you need helping I don't know yet but I want to give it a few you know yeah it's funny how they're doing it in an office building on carpet probably safer though bit less forgiving than concrete bit more forgiving I mean okay Jes so right now I can see what the problem is his foot when he flicks is literally just hitting this chair like there's not enough space as I just said so I think we're going to skip ahead to the point where he figures out this isn't enough space which looks like it was soon after what is this trying to hold the tripods I suppose there is a bit more space let's see how that worked out okay that's clearly not working either the one hand thing isn't going to do much for you cuz you're not going to be balanced when you're in the air you want to have something that's equal weight both sides one for each arm freeing go freaking go please okay well yep see the Flick's good he's just not yeah that was a good one that was a good one just got to roll that ankle as you flick it so the ankle like sort of flicks and rolls off the side or the top of the side that's good good form good form we're going to fast forward a bit and see see where we're at let start leaning over a little more in the New Balance shoes too see the front foot is just getting stuck to the board here see it's like not coming it's not fully coming off so let's go let's go uh you want to obviously in my professional opinion I would say you definitely want to flick more forward and make sure the foot fully leaves the boarding up a little bit more on your toe side so it's got to roll the ankle he's just not repeating the same motion as we practiced it I'm just kicking the board it's kind of lit what we got here come on boy that wasn't too bad he's just trying to bring the foot back before he finishes the flip it's all about the Finesse of that foot I got to St spin yeah it seems like we're getting a lot of the same attempts here I want to know if he actually landed it so we're going to go ahead and go a little bit further in see seems like he's got one of his boys showing them which is something I would always recommend if you've got friends that can do it make sure you get them involved too seeing it in real life it's going to work great put one more time one more time I think he's going to count the most SCU kick clip ever it is seriously sick though that all these YouTubers are actually getting into skateboarding because it's bringing new eyeballs onto it and even though some skaters might not like that I can feel that there's a massive positive in the industry for this we're going to get back to lwig though you're overthinking you're over thinking shake out chill for a sec and just get on don't over thing just get on just go as you can see we got Ricky in the chat too Ricky's just everywhere I okay seems like we've not made much progress in the past hour let's see one more that was okay I mean yeah we're not going to see much more on this one I don't think there is one more stream to check out though so don't go anywhere just yet I really want to see L with Glam this kickflip okay let's jump to the other video the other video is streaming until I kick flip so that might be like this one here streaming until I land kick flip it's only 58 minutes long but I think this might be the one start learning kick what's let's fast forward let's jump in about halfway and see what the attempts are [Music] saying you f okay here we go do you like The Other Board better I don't know I mean that was okay the board flipped he just didn't get the like the Bigg thing learning kick flip is try to get your is trying to train your body to have the muscley to use both legs at but even slightly one after another like you pop and then you flick but the two have to work together in sync and as someone who has not learned skateboarding before it's going to be extremely difficult to get that down especially in one day this is why I said that other skate video was fake because it just doesn't come that easy like this is some realistic attempting from lwig here that's cool come on come on love let's see a nice one that was decent that was not bad the fact that the board goes flying away but it actually did the flip shows that at least he's getting the foot off the board to flip it now he just needs to work on the control getting it to come in all as one motion together place you're Comfort every time and wor I think for someone like this though in this state that he's trying it now is definitely good idea to to hold on to so you can get used to the board flipping underneath you inad flipping away from you like he keeps kicking it what am I doing I think your front foot is starting to flick before the Tails pully pop uhuh we're going to skip ahead a little bit [Music] here I didn't do it again we got not much progress so you can't make too much progress on a kickflip in a day I swear to God that was a nice Ollie though solid Ollie I'm glad we finally saw that you know I'm kind of noticing what actually so like when you do your yeah the Ollie was really sick we need to see the ollie and then the flick and you're Landing like this he looks knacked though at this point if he's been trying this for like 3 hours straight this would be like me when I was 10 years old still not Landing it he's doing Hospital flips way more consistently though than he is kick flips right I think we need to finally find out if our man lwig managed to land this right come on let's see let's get a good attempt in here okay the ghost flick I always call that right when you pop and like don't quite meet the flick we always call that either the ghost flick or the Phantom flick okay I didn't realize um what's his name what's his name I forget this guy's name Aiden that's it yeah I thought by that he maybe could have skated but it looks like he's trying kick flips too look like he's going for a varial flip though maybe trade FP right I'm going to skip to the end and see what the all right see if my man actually did land it I'm me with my yeah fat ass we this is the last 10 seconds with my fat ass is he going to cut it off and act like he landed it oh well my friends I guess the kick flip was never landed but hope y lwi can get that soon and continue skateboarding because it l like he was having a good time despite the exhaustion anyway thank you for watching guys see you in the next one
