Why does my board fly away when I kickflip?
when you try to kickflip, the board gets thrown forward – this happens because (a) you kicked the front foot too soon and too hard, mostly while the board was still early ascending. This forces the board forward. Or (b) you are placing your front foot too much in the center of the board.
How do you stay over on a skateboard?

Why can’t I land my front foot on a kickflip?
If you flick straight down, your foot will be below your board, and it’ll be hard to land with your front foot on the board. Also, keep your shoulders parallel to the board. When you open your shoulders up going forward, the front foot tends to be farther away from the board, making the landing difficult.

Is a kickflip harder than an Ollie?

What is the easiest flip trick?
For me, the three easiest are:
- Fakie shove-it. Doesn’t require an ollie, if you’re comfortable riding fakie this is a very natural way to spin the board.
- Pop shove-it. A little tougher, since it requires coordination with an ollie, but still a pretty easy flip trick.
- Kickflip. Much more natural than a heelflip, IMO.
