Answer 1

ah easy question so freakin common im gettin tired of answering this.

ok first ur not staying over the board, ur scared. jump straight up and keep ur shoulders straight.

flick the board with ur ankle and not ur whole leg. flick it out rite at where the concave meet the little dip by the nose.

by hanging more heel off when ur settin up ur feet the board will flip faster but u have like less control

Answer 2

Practice my friend. Also you may want to try and learn healflips, I learned those before kickflips, and they train you to flip and then catch your board.

Answer 3

kickflip is the most difficult trick for me when you do the kickflip go in the postion of a ollie then do a ollie push ur foot up like a ollie then slide your footback then make sure your feet arent touching the board then when u land put both feet on the board
