Learning how to do a kickflip and you need some inspiration?

Let me give you some inspiration to learn how to do a kickflip.

The kickflip, which is very similar to an Ollie, is one of the more difficult tricks to learn. Some skaters never learn how to do it, and even pro skaters stuff it up sometimes.

But when you learn how to do a kickflip, the tricks you can do from then on are really amazing, here are some examples.

Rodney Mullen does a 540 DOUBLE kickflip. http://youtube.com/watch?v=e5Tm9mjWA_w

One guy does 99 kickflips in a row before falling off. Then the lads head to a stair set and throw some tricks. http://youtube.com/watch?v=oG5Ri9l4ffs

Dave Bachinski throws a MASSIVE 20 stair kickflip! He has a big spill on the first try, but gets back on and pulls off this amazing trick! http://youtube.com/watch?v=daP1MJGlVX8&mode=related&search=

A perfect triple kickflip. Which is really very very cool! http://youtube.com/watch?v=aZxAcOhTJjc&mode=related&search=#

Some different variations on a kickflip, including a couple of funny stacks. http://youtube.com/watch?v=YvF0PpTitJI&mode=related&search=

Christopher hoffman does a perfect triple kickflip. http://youtube.com/watch?v=GRazXdxMHMY&mode=related&search=

Using a trampoline for practice, this guy gets a QUADRUPLE (thats four spins) kickflip! But I don't recommend you skate on a trampoline because you will put holes in it. http://youtube.com/watch?v=TGjwEazIl6A

Best saved till last, Ryan Green pulls some massive tricks - Triple kickflips, double kickflips up steps, and a CLEAN! FLATGROUND! QUADRUPLE!!! kickflip http://youtube.com/watch?v=gUFL3vgNgzg#

This stuff is skating madness and I hope it inspires you to learn how to do a kickflip, then a double kickflip and then a tripple kickflip. A quadruple kickflip is a little harder.
