alright since no one has helped me in trick help section im posting here.
Whenever i attempt a kickflip usually i can get the full rotation but not one time out of maybe like 200 attempts have i landed my front foot on the board and i ride regular. can someone please help me to get my front foot back to the board.

It's not that hard, just pop, flick, and jump.

It's harder for some people than it is for others dark. Put your front foot in the middle of the board hanging about half way off the board, and then just do an ollie like that, but let your foot fall off. That's an easier rotation than the normal way people explain it. Just do that, and then put your foot back on when its finished flipping. Try jumping high and practicing the timing on your pop, as well as how fast to slide your front foot... all of these things will make them easier, and higher as well.

But when you're learning the aim is not to go for height, but getting the flick down. Practice with different positions, and find out which is most comfortable for you.

yea i sorta got 2 different foot positions for my front, and one makes it flip real fast the other makes it flip fairly slow. but its so damn frustrating and tiring because i just have no clue how to get my front foot back on the board.id say when i land my front foot is on the ground like 8 inches away from the board. i just need some help badly.

No, the key is to jump before you een think of popping and flicking, so you are already moving upwards as you pop. that is the key to kickflips.
