I've been trying some kickflips the last week. Ive only tried in-out ones because I dont think my ollie is high enough to do one in the flats. I kick the board but cant spin it all the way around. How do ya'll put your front foot because i think im kicking it too late. Im waiting till I get up in the air to kick it. Are you supposed to kick it right when you come off the lip? If anyone can give me help that would be great. Ill try to get a video of the problem soon

honestly, u should probably practice more until ur ollie is high enough for flats kickflips. practice getting ur ollies high before focusing all ur time on k-flips. other than that; ollie and let the nose of the board get up nice and high and flick off the edge of the board with a little motion towards the nose and suck ur legs up to ur chest and spot the grip coming around and catch it with ur back foot. make sure ur off ur edge when taking off for this trick. good luck , have fun. Cool
