I can't land a kickflip, it's that simple. I get the spin perefectly, but every time my front foot lands on the ground, but my back foot lands perfectly on the board, I've read everything on a "perfect way" to land a kickflip, and I still can't land one, so any tips, especially involving my front foot? It's really frustrating, because I try em' all the time, and can't land one, please help!!! _________________

F/S_Kid, What did it for me was popping it very slightly backwards with my back foot. Not behind me, like for a shuv or varial. But (if you're regular) to the right, as opposed to straight down.
For some reason it made my front foot more comfortable with staying over the board. I only did this when i was learning them. After a while you'll pop them straight down, or even forward a bit (TWEAK!)

thefunky31, Andrew Masi, I'm definately flicking them, but like out of control, they're shooting way out in front of me, I don't want to mob it, but it's seems that'd be easier for me to land. Slapdown, I'll definately try to throw em' behind me a little, (if thats what you were trying to say) _________________

F/S_Kid, Make sure you are breaking ur ankle when you flick em. Thats what worked for me. Can you land em on the tramp? _________________ http://www.wakeskateclips.com/ |

What do you mean by "make sure you're breaking your ankle when you flick em'?
And no, I can't even land them on the tramp, and I do the same exact thing, it's pissing me off, especially when I see like 10 years stomping them _________________

bromfutter, I think that also might be a problem, cause I kind of leaning back when after I flick. _________________
