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?

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.
