I have the whole movement and everything down, but my front food (Starts in front, ends up in back.) Almost never lands on the board, any tips?

Tips already given:

More kick, less rotation

try landing the frontside flip at 90 degrees first.
then try getting it higher so that you can suck your legs up more and make the rest of the rotation while ur going down.

Try to flip it faster and turn faster. It helped me keep the board under me so that might help you.

what help me land them is think of the flick as sort of "delayed" like try to do the 180 and like halfway through make the board rotate.

Just stay centered over the trick and commit. Put your weight more over either your front or back leg before you pop if needed (just adjust it back and forth until you find out a good way to do it), then land it a few times and you will get more confident.

I have the smae problem. Its either I land upside/rail, or with only my back foot. I think it's just was MRCK said, and just have to commit over the board.


I think I land like that because I lean back to far, making it easier to flip and get rotation, but not to stay over the board.
