Hey guys,
Whenever I try kick flips I do not land it! Either I jump lower then it, or higher but I only land on one foot.
Today, I've skated for 2 hours and 30 minutes in my basement just trying to get the kickflip right. .. I even tried where I hold myself on a table and start kickflipping. I landed that fine, but wtf! why cant I land them stationary? I can do 3 in a row while I'm holding the table ( shifting weight I guess? ) but I can't do it on floor while not moving.
The problem is... I either have one foot on the board.. or it's higher then me. Probably that whole 2 hours and 30 minutes I only landed one real frakin kickflip and some crazy kickflip to casper sorta thing.. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!!

For rambo's problem i Had a problem along time ago for flippin the board. But later I figured out to Kick on the highest part of the board possible. I dont mean like on the nose but as far up as you can. I do that now i can do triple kickflips.(sometimes)

I dont know. When i first learbed the kick flip i always landed it on one foot. I just concentrated on ollieing as high as i could and staying in the air as long as i can to give me time to put my feet on the board.

What about me?! haha
I land it with one foot... but the back foot dosent land at all
the tail is about a foot away from my back foot.
what the hell am I doing wrong? plus sometimes I just dont pop that hard because im scared? should i lean over my front foot to land?
