i can usually land them not moving but when i try them moving it dosen't spin fast enough and when they do spin all the way around only my front foot lands, and that is on the freakin tail, so how the hell do i do a dang kickflip.

Dude, I don't know if you've read the forum rules, but you just broke one. I'm going to let you slide this time, but next time you will be warned. Here's the link to the rules

Dude, next time, report the post, I also stated that in the forum rules, mabye you should check them out yourself. But good idea to tell him about the trick tips section.

P.S. Sk8er4life, clear out your PM inbox, I tried helping you with your questions you PMed me about, but your inbox is full.

Sorry bout the swearing, i was out side six straight hours and i didn't land one. Oh and about the inbox i don't get that i don't have anything in it, i think somethings wrong i've missed six message in 2 days but it has been empty for 7 days so no one can send a pm. I've tried every trick tip place on-line and it hasn't helped at so thats why i ask ppl who might have different ways of doing them. But again sorry about the swearing.

It might be the place you kick. I have that same problem. you should kick the board in the concave. Too far into the nose will make the board go slower and make the tail come up more. Too far towards the tail and you'll just kick th board slower or straight down.

It also might be that you don't jump far enough forwards when you kick it.

alot of times now i land with front foot on the front bolts but i can't seem to get high enough to get my back foot on, and when i try to pop it less i end up jumping less, so now what should i do.

This may work for you and it may not. Try varial kickflips on grass and just jump as far forward as you can. This is how i learnt to flip. Strange hey. Just position your foot a little bhind your front truck bolt and flick your foot of top corner of your board left(regular) right (goofy) and jump as it comes off. Then with the jump you should be in the air while the board is spinning over watch it and land and roll away like a pro :D:D:D

Maybe my foirst suggestion may help
