i need any advice possible on how to keep my front foot under control. It seems like whenever i do a trick, i catch the board with my back foot, and my front foot lands off the board.

this is especially a problem when i try kickflips. I got the rotation and everything down. and everytime i try a kickflip, i catch it perfect with my back foot, and my front foot is way off somewhere.

well i used to land kick lfips with only my front foot, so what i did was try land it with only my back foot, and that helped me land it with both feet, so i suggest you try land it with just your front foot. tha back foot is supossed to be the hardest anyway so its weird that you have this problem.

Do not do that! That will only cause you more problems. Just flick the board and try landing with both feet on the board when it's upside down. Then just flick a little harder and jump a little higher and you will have them.
