to cameron dud when you kickflip you have to have your front foot slightly pointed towards the front of the deck and about an inch from the side to your toe. When you kick dont kick to hard or it will over rotate and dont kick to lightly or else your deck will only go a 180 of a turn so kick at the right strength and the pull your foot back in and slam down on the grip tape!!1 hope this helps!
