just watch some videos, and move your feet quicker so you land more on the skateboard

alright i'll try and help you out ;)

::::The Kickflip::::


Foot Position---

for a kickflip, you're going to want your backfoot on the tail, wherever its comfy to get some good pop! your backfoot is going to be AROUND the front bolts, a lot of people do them differently, mine's just about an inch or 2 behind the front bolts, pointed some towards the nose. make sure that both feet are solid on where they need to be, its important.

Execution---

ensure that your feet are in the right position, solid and ready to go! you're on your way now. you're going to pop JUST like an ollie, but then you're going to GET YOUR BACK FOOT BACK UP AND OUTTA THE WAY. what do you do with your back foot? OUT OF THE WAY. what?? say it again. k..again. alright. so now that you popped it, you're going to flick it over the bolts and down-ish (more down at first when you're not trying to steez them out yet.) and do that thing with your back foot. what is it? alright, you're good! you have to make sure that both feet are really over your board, so that you can catch it when it comes around. when its coming, stomp down to stop the board, and you have to really stomp, that way you get back on solidly.

::::TROUBLESHOOTING THE KICKFLIP::::

i'll give your problem first, along with some others, just in case ;)

I land with my heels on the ground, what's wrong?
---you have to make sure that your front foot is really solid on the board, it can't be hanging off a whole lot. it has to be almost totally on. the toes of your board should have like an inch or so between the toeside edge, and your toes. this way, you can land back how you started, and roll away good.

I land with my front foot only, what's wrong?
---make sure that when you pop up, your back foot comes UP, and doesn't plant on the ground. this problem is more common than seeing the ice cream man.

I land with my back foot only, what's wrong?
---wtf are you doing? whats wrong with you? jeez.. flick it, and get that front foot up into the air to stomp it again, it takes practice, don't worry, you'll get it man!

I don't land on the board at all, what's wrong?
---most likely, you're afraid, even if you dont realize it. you have to really jump when you do it, you can't just flick it and expect to land back on it, make sure that you can see your board UNDER you, feet in air.

hope i helped you dude, let me know if i did
