The way I do it I kick with my leg and then whip it down as fast as possible always keeping it in front of me, your form is more kick and whip to the side its like craziness idk

Your stickflip is weird as shit. Typically, unless you're weird like Biff, you should force it down as low as possible during the whip. Just hold it low and in front of you. Also, use the hand that you don't flip the stick with to sort of throw the stick to get momentum. Although, if you do throw the stick like that, it makes it harder to kick it. I don't really kick it, I mostly just throw it with my hand. But it's really helpful if you just hold it down as long as you can.

Don't kick it.. Thats the lame way to do it.

Go into the jump with your right elbow up high, and as you go to flip it, throw that elbow down and lift with the other hand.. it'll spin around really fast and catch it with your left foot. You'll get em :P

just do them dude. dont practice them until they are consistent. they are the most annoying trick to practice ever and (in my experience) if you just randomly throw one when your hyped you will probably land it. i never warm up with stickflips before i do them in a combo. i just keep doing the combo until i land it
