I can't do a kickflip admittedly but there was a video I was reminded of watching your attempts. A lot of people have rocket kickflips and Dale talks about how to get it to level out. Maybe it'll help. You're real close I'm sure you'll get it soon. [VIDEO]

What helped me was treating them like an Ollie that you flick a little to the side. Tbh I was obsessed with having a good kickflip so I practiced them like 50 times a day. The back foot catch comes after doing them enough. This vid also helped me [VIDEO]
