Here's an example of my kickflips. They're like this about half the time, and the rest I just land a tiny bit higher. Any tips? I'm about 70% consistent. Thanks.

no, no tips. not really though, just pop harder and flick faster.

Thanks, I guess.

pop harder and move more of your front foot onto the board, it wont be as easy at first but it will help your kickflip get higher. Think of it as an ollie then at the top of the ollie your front foot gently flicks off.

It looks like you've got the basic trick down though so thats most of the battle, just keep practicing it and try out new foot positions every once in a while to see if one works better than the other.

If i want to do a higher kickflip i put my front foot with my toes in the middle of my board if you see what i mean. So my foots more on the board. This means you flick out later which thus gives you more height to start with. However to do this you need to pop harder to get the extra height you need for the board to spin all the way round. Otherwise it will land upside down or in primo. If you can't pop any harder then just flick out faster then you would.

Hope that helps!

Thanks guys, I'll try getting used to putting my foot so only my heel is hanging off. When I feel I'm getting them noticably higher, I'll post up some footy, all right? Thanks a lot.
