How long did it take you to learn a kickflip?

Why can’t I do a kickflip?
when you try to kickflip, the board gets thrown forward – this happens because (a) you kicked the front foot too soon and too hard, mostly while the board was still early ascending. This forces the board forward. Or (b) you are placing your front foot too much in the center of the board.

Why can’t I land my front foot on a kickflip?
If you flick straight down, your foot will be below your board, and it’ll be hard to land with your front foot on the board. When you open your shoulders up going forward, the front foot tends to be farther away from the board, making the landing difficult.
What foot do you catch a kickflip with?
The kickflip begins with an ollie, the foundation of most skateboard tricks. Put your back foot flat on the tail of your skateboard and put the ball of your front foot right behind the front trucks. Don’t go very fast at the start.
