What skaters said on Reddit
Don't flick earlier, that will cause you to just flick even more off to the side instead of the nose and end up with a really mobbed kickflip. What you wanna do is change HOW you flick [VIDEO] Check out that kickflip at 2:58. It starts off sorta similar to yours, but the difference is he flicks his ankle up and outwards, so he's able to cause the nose to dip downwards rather than it going rocket. Once you figure that technique out, you should be able to easily add 5-6 inches (12.5-15cms) of extra height to the back foot/tail end of the board. From then onward, the rest is figuring out the best balance of pop/lightness of the back foot (which you seem to have already mostly figured out) and tucking those legs even closer towards your chest.
Dude, you've got everything but the back foot. Back foot stabilises this trick. If your back foot catches this, your body won't twist. Go try to land a few without your front foot trying to get on the board. Just catch em with your back foot. Let your front foot land on the ground to make sure you get that back foot catch. Your so close. [VIDEO]
[VIDEO] Watch 2:10 in this video. If you flick forward instead of to the side, it actually ends up flipping the board, and faster.
