Stefani Nurding

With skateboarding taking center stage in the world of sports this summer, the demand for skateboard lessons has skyrocketed. Online searches for skateboarding lessons have seen an incredible 150% increase compared to last year.

To fuel the passion for skateboarding and inspire more people in Britain to take up the sport, Samsung KX has joined forces with the phenomenal skateboarder Stefani Nurding. Known for her skills and as the owner of Salon Skateboards, Stefani is set to take over the Samsung KX experience space in Coal Drops Yard. Her mission is to empower both men and women, teaching them the essential foundations to excel in skateboarding.

Right now, you can catch Stefani’s tutorial on the Samsung KX content hub. In the tutorial, this pro-skater, entrepreneur, and dedicated mom reveals the art of mastering balance, body positioning, and timing to nail the hottest trick of the season, the Kickflip. All it takes is a skateboard in one hand and the brand-new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 in the other.

Using the cutting-edge Galaxy Z Flip3, Stefani captures the entire tutorial in stunning detail. The Flex mode enables her to film from the sharpest angles while demonstrating the Multi Window function for ultimate content creation. Whether scrolling through YouTube for inspiration or simultaneously uploading posts to Instagram and TikTok, the Galaxy Z Flip3 truly elevates the photography game.

Flex mode on the Galaxy Z Flip3 also makes hands-free selfies a breeze. By splitting the camera into the top half and controls on the bottom half, you can frame your shot, strike a pose, and start the timer with a simple palm flash.

When it’s time to take your selfies to the next level, the improved Cover Display ensures accurate snaps using the Rear Cameras.

Reflecting on her collaboration with Samsung KX, Stefani Nurding shares her enthusiasm for sharing her skills acquired over a decade of skateboarding. As a female skateboarder, she aims to encourage more women to embrace skateboarding and discover a passion they may have previously felt discouraged to pursue. This tutorial covers the basics to help you master the skills needed to confidently hit the ramps. Thanks to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3, she was able to film each step in Flex mode, bringing them to life in an immersive way.

“I’ve absolutely loved working with Samsung KX and sharing my skills that I’ve learnt in my 10+ years of skating. As a female skater, I really want to encourage more women to pick up a skateboard and uncover a passion that they once may have felt discouraged to try. This tutorial covers the basics to help master the skills needed to hit the ramps confidently, and thanks to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3, I was able to film the steps in Flex mode to really help bring each one to life.”

To kickstart your journey to becoming a master of the Kickflip, Stefani lays out her steps:

  1. Practice: Gain confidence by standing on the board and getting comfortable pushing around.
  2. Perfect balance: Ensure your weight is evenly distributed, preventing slips or falls.
  3. Ollie: With your feet hip-width apart, back foot on the tail of the board and front foot just under the front bolts, lean forward and jump, kicking down on the tail while sliding your front foot to the nose of the board. This levels the board in mid-air. Maintain your balance to land smoothly.
  4. Kickflip: Repeat the same steps as the Ollie, but instead of keeping your foot straight and level, kick out to the side and upward. Wait for the board to flip over and catch it when it completes the rotation.
  5. Capture the perfect shot: Open the Galaxy Z Flip3 into Flex mode, placing it on a flat surface bent towards you. When you’re ready to capture your Kickflip, wave your hand to trigger the self-timer for an incredible motion shot.
  6. Share your skills: When it’s time to share your content, use the Multi Window function on the Galaxy Z Flip3 to simultaneously share your achievements on TikTok and Instagram, saving you more time for skating.
