I went out this morning for like 45 mins. i was havin a great run, then i started tryin kickflips, i wasn't really do them too good at the start but then it was like a switch was turned on inside me and i came like |--this close--| to landing them. the only thing wen i land is my feet are too close together imo, like i land on the board but my feet are too close together and i fall, is there anything else i should be doing to land them other than spreading my feet wider.

I am looking for advice from people that can do them.
thanks.

Vince

best thing that helped me was concentrating more on really absorbing the landing rather then focusing all my attention on the flip

Keep your feet apart in the air and they will come down apart.
