Kickflips

I'm just now starting to try some kickflips, and i can't even flip the board. Every time i even get the flick with my front foot, my back foot stops the board. I skateboard so from the start it was hard even to get the right type of flick with my front foot, but now that i've sort of got that i feel like if i could just get my back foot out of the way i could have them.. Any tips or suggestions would be great, thanks Very Happy

I've seen kickflips JUST like on a skateboard (Ben Horan Shocked

) but although i flick it right, when i bring my back foot up, the board just seems to stick to it. I'm thinking maybe i should try moving it forward a little bit.. like after i pop, but before i flick, moving my back foot towards my front foot and kind of sucking it up...
