make sure when your doing em to cut out, then flatten off and wait like a second then do em...it sounds like your doing them on edge a bit, so your board is rotating under you....also hit the search bar up

trevor881, you waiting to long to pop, thats why the board is pointing at the boat. next time you go, edge out to the flats and dont wait so long to pop the kickflip. just do it like a shuv...
