When I try to kickflip...I just flick my front foot outward and a bit up.....right....but when I do this, the board spins half a kickflip, lands about 3 feet in front of me and has spinned like a pop shuvit.....now I told myself I may just not do it corectly.....also...the back wheels go like 1 inch high while the front wheels go like 10-11 inches high.

you might be turning a little when you jump that will make the board do a shuvit

when you flip the board u have to jump over it(like an ollie), so your on top of the board... you are also probably movin your back foot to cause the shuv it movement... hope that helped
P.S. - some1stupid&ugly... that is the most pointless post ive seen in a while.... please try to avoid pointless posts

I agree with Boarder420, and if anyone has a problem with him saying it, I'll pull an Mrock and post it myself to make you feel better that it's coming from a moderator.

basically bring your feet straight up when you jump instead of out. Don't kick the board just subtilly flip it, it should work as long as you keep your body over the board.

yea, sim37 is right.. umm dont go to much by what i say cuz i cant even land a kickflip everytime... thats just what helps me. u gotta stay over the board.. also keep your feet up and in cuz alot of people land with their feet spread (one in front and one in back)
p.s. thanks sean...lol
