I'm going with the others...
Your trying to throw it way too soon. Flatten off focus on popping it up nice and high. Watch it come up and then flick it.
It is there, you just have to endure the pain that goes with making shizzle happen. |

Shizzle?.... I'm pretty sure I wrote something else. Damn censorship. |

spot on, i always used to rush this trick, waiting a few seconds after flatening off is the key and head centred directly over the board. good luck brother _________________ shred till ur dead |

Gnarly Dancer 42, This way your momentum is going completely forward, not floating away from the wake, or drifting back towards it. You are balanced because you have the time to maintain your composure. This is the best way to land a kickflip imo. Glad it helped, your fronside flip trick tip was money. |

trey s., it's about being able to see what the person trying the trick can't see. I've helped people land tricks by letting them know what they're doing wrong on tricks even if i've never done or even tried that particular trick. |

The Kid, is it the same 1 missipipi, 2 missippi timing thing for frontside flips, v flips and bs flips or is it differnt for each trick?
here's the video, it looks a lot better. the weird thing is when i'm actually riding if feels like i'm waiting so much longer before i pop than watching this video

Gnarly Dancer 42, it feels like a minute or two when you're actually out there riding and waiting to throw the trick. but really it's just a split second. glad you're getting used to that thing. kickflips on the integ feel so good
that was super clean |

for the kickflips do you have to lean back a lot? Whenever i seem to do mine i just get pulled so far forward and not even close to the board |
