I can't seem to catch up with my kickflip! I can flip it but can't catch the board to land it! I keep trying! :-11:

Do a large kickflip and time it. Aim for the bolts.

Yeah but when I try to stay above it I go to the right while the board moves to the left and I can't catch it!

No matter what kind of trick problem you're having, and how many trick tips you read, its always going to be the same. Practice and experimentation are the most effective ways to learn a trick. Change stuff around. Even the smallest of things can effect how the trick works for you. How you position your body, your feet, your head, the motions you go through, even something like the way you move your arms can have an impact on whether or not the trick works properly for YOU, and thats what its about. You. Think random. Stay calm. Have fun doin what your doin.

There is a trick to every trick, kick off the nose on a kickflip, not off the side
