ok, i can pull it fakie but it doesnt go very high. it sticks somehow hovering barely over the ground at like, 2 inches and flips really fast and i happen to land on it. i tried to do this riding normal and cant seem to pull it off.. i pop it higher and watched videos from almost round 3 and some internet stuff and cant figure it out.. i have my back foot right but should my front foor be more back or forward? i cant figure it out.. the flip leaves me with one foot on the board.

i just recently learned 3 flips. the main problem is getting used to the scoop and the way you jump. you really need to try to jump with it, unlike alot of other tricks where it comes more naturally. also, really really scoop your back foot. it does all the work.

thats the thing... i can do all that but my front foot keeps coming off. yesterday i was trying all diff ways and i only can do it faikie. the board flips good most of the time but i cant seem to get my front foot on. it happens when ever i learn a new flip trick

maybe the reason you can do them FAKIE...is becuz your going backwards and your foots gunna go back even more behind you when you try to scoop it. like it has been said over and over, its all in your back foot. jus try to keep scoopin it and step away. watch the rotation.
