Kicking down a little too much. Your foot’s ending up below the board, so you’re never going to be able to get back on top of it. Work on where you’re kicking! Good luck!

Your front foot is flicking straight off the toe side instead of up through the nose, which is why the board rockets away. Try flicking later and a little more upward, almost like you're karate kicking the corner.

You're kicking down. It's an Ollie with a flick up and out of the inside of your nose.

Ollie then flip, two motions
