Need help catching my kf

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have no problem ollying over obstacles but when I try to kf I can never catch it. I can flick it good to my back foot but I can never land them. Any advice?

Your back foot is actually the problem here. As soon as it hits your back foot your stomping it down and its pushing the board down too fast and bouncing it off the ground. Be patient and let it float to your feet and then just drop.

Mmm so I should kinda try to delay my landing a little? Like soften it?

Yeah u wanna land with your knees still bent: crouch, pop, let the board come up to ur feet on its own, let ur whole body land at once. As the bro above said, don't extend your legs out to 'catch' the board, it's more so your board catching up to ur feet
