If it hasn’t already been mentioned, I think that “Kendama knees” can help with flips. For me it means a slower, more controlled rotation, and with one less movement initiated by the hands it is just easier to track where everything needs to be. ---

Just catching up on club posts. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it would not be appropriate to include a **“Kick Flip”** in the **secret YYB Club handshake**? ---

It was purposed as a barrier to entry in the club. But, it appears you are correct. After my admission of lack of skills, it appears I wasnt the only one. So at this point Kick Flip isnt the gate keeper. ---

Kickflip is a fantastic trick and absolute favorite I’m around if anyone want some help. I helped a few people learn it. Instagram is where I’m mostly but pop in here infrequently. ---

I got it first try. Then 4th. Then 23rd. Then I didn’t hit it for a half hour. Then I clocked my kneecap, so now it’s yo-yo cool down time. Thanks for the link! I haven’t added a new trick to my arsenal in a long time. Now to figure out how the heck I did it. ---
