Question
hey guys i cant land my kickflip wat  happens is when i flip it i can only get my right foot on its like the left one dosent want to. what should i do

Answer
You're chickening out. Tell yourself you're going to land the kickflip and your feet should land on the board, someway, somehow. You might fall a few times but falling while doing a flatland trick usually is just fun. Get up and try again. If you're not having any luck with that, try landing a few on carpet and get more used to the flip, then take it to the streets. Practice. Good luck.

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.
