How do you use a subskate?

In order to use one of these, you have to be heavy enough to get it underwater, if you're too light, it will just float (100 lbs is probably around the minimum weight, the heavier the better, lighter you will be higher above the water). It wont actually work like a skateboard, like it shows in the ads, but I found the easiest way was to push the skateboard halfway underwater, put your strongest foot in the middle and push it down to the bottom, then put your weakest foot in the front and slide your strongest foot in the back. Then slowly work your way into deeper water. Eventually you will be floating slightly above the bottom. This is basically how you learn, I don't know how people learn those tricks. Its Frikin' hard!

There is also another way that I like to use my subskate for. I stand on the deck of my pool and run and jump and do tricks onto it. I can do a lot of tricks now and have only been using it for about two days. I recommend that everyone gets one. And I don't know what you guys mean by it's hard to stand on, because I weigh 90 lbs and it is extremely easy for me. My 50 lb brother can do it too. But the subskate is a great product.

How do you kickflip?

Have your feet like this FRONT FOOT on an angle in the middle both ways, then ollie slide your foot up and flick of the dip P.S flick up so your foot doesn't touch the ground. HOPE this helps
A kickflip is a cool, clean-looking skateboarding trick which is basically a variation on the ollie.

What can you buy with a quarter pipe?

You could sell a nice quarter pipe on ebay for 100 or 150 dollars. The person you are selling it to should be close enough so they can pick it up themselves.

You have been trying to land a kickflip for a while but your problem is that you keep flicking down instead of up and out is there any strategy to help you change the way you flick?

The key to remember is that the kickflip is an ollie variation. You have to make a conscious effort to perform the same movement with your front foot as you do with an ollie, a little closer to the heel edge of your board. Unfortunately you have to relearn kickflips as what you're doing isn't even close to a proper kickflip.
