Somehow when I first started to consciously align my shoulders , with the deck , the flick became more powerful and the board could level . I thought I had found the answer to solve my weak Kickflip flicks . Then , next session I tried the same thing moving , and the kickflips became mobbed . Last night I tried to correct it by jumping higher , higher than the board changing foot positions popping later like a pop shove etc . What seemed to work was simply telling myself to kick the front foot really hard through the nose of the board . This resulted in a slightly more levelled kickflip the vid above . Funny thing is although I thought was kicking really hard , my front leg was only marginally more extended than in the earlier mobbed ones ! But maybe that made all the difference . Any tips or comments would be appreciated . This trick is driving me nuts .
