I need help with kickflips?

Question

I have been skating for 2 and a half years now and i can ollie, pop shuvit, varial kickflip, ollie up to 5 sets ect. but im still haveing problems with my kickflips when i do them i ether land in a tail stop or the board gets to far infront of me and my front foot land but not my back. it seems like ive tried every thing, every speed, and every foot placement. and ive watched tons of youtube videos on it. plz help me.

Answer 1

ur weight distribution is wrong, lean pretty far over ur front foot and over ur toes at the same time ur weight needs to be evenly balanced between both feet. when u jump keep in mind u need to jump straight up and not backwards or something and dont turn ur shoulders. keep these in mind and expiriment with foot placement again. if u still cant do it after a few days then hold onto a table and try, itll make it much easier and build confidance. once u start landing them like 1/5 of the time stationary then try them moving, once you figure out how to do it then the forward momentum will help u keep balanced while landing them and make it alot easier and again will build ur confidance. when u got it down moving try to perfect ur stationary kickflips.

and give the board a strong pop and then flick it with ur ankle and not ur whole foot, this will keep it from flying 5 feet in front of you

Answer 2

practice in the grass. after you land a few take it to the streets
