kickflip in the flats

how do you make the board come up high underneath you to have more air while you flick it? the board always goes forward when i try to get it to the air. is it the same when doing an ollie?

C-WAY Crew, same. My ollie ones are still 1 in 100 trys, but in side out are much better.

i ride the cable so there's no wake to do it in to out. do i still have to pump the board before i raise my front foot up to get more height?

Yes.

Try not to force it though, let it flow.

islandtime, similar to me, i get the rotation like 1 out of 8 trys haha.. it always hits my back foot when i flick it..but my pop is fine.

yeah me too! we ride cable... best thing i think practice high ollies. since the stupid ramp doesnt like me... might as well concentrate on surface tricks and rails hehe!! btw... is it possible to do a kickflip when you pop the front then flip the back? or is it called a kickflip still?

so what is the easiest way to flip the board. coz i come from a skateboard background i slide and flick. that hardly gets the board goin. then i hate trying to mob it, gives it gross style.
