About Max Expertise I have been skateboarding for around 7 years; I have extensive knowledge on street skating, including all sorts of flip tricks, tips on popping higher ollies, grinds, slides, rails, ledges, and park skating including transitions.
Experience Before you email me asking "how do i kickflip??" you should practice it, what can I do, magically make you learn it? All I can do is give helpful tips, so try to ask serious questions, please. Also, I can and will not sponsor you, so don't bother asking.
Question I can mostly get the rotation down for a kickflip, but when I do get them. my back foot goes right to the ground. If I try to keep it in the air, the board doesnt spin, and when i try to land on it, the board always lands upside down and i land on the trucks so that it smacks me in the legs. What should i do to keep my back foot in the air?
Answer You're chickening out when you know the board is going to do a whole spin, that's why your foot lands on the ground instead of on the board. Practice them in grass until you're ready for concrete. Try sucking your legs up and jumping higher. Good luck, don't give up!
