Just keep practicing man you'll get it! One thing though, try focusing on the flick without the whole method, i guess it would be easier to start from there. if not, [VIDEO] theres a video that helped me in a way. just listen to what he says and play close attention to the slow-mos. repeat them even if you have to!

have you tried just flicking but not really jumping or moving at all? Just so you can get a feel for where you would flick off of when you're in the air. and also look at where your front knee is when you do the flick. [here's] ([VIDEO]) a great explanation of kickflips that I try to wrap my head around.

[VIDEO] not sure if you've seen tutorials on this channel or on Jonny giger's Channel but they both make very good tutorials and break it down into steps so that your brain can process it and then eventually put them together
