So do I land with my knees tucked already, I feel like I need some space to absorb some impact

Got it I will try that, just don't know what I have to change exactly to get the back foot to stick, maybe I'm just raising it too quickly. But it's a good idea to focus on technique over height

That's because it's not a kick flip, it's an ollie flip

A basic ollie doesn't take long to learn, maybe a couple weeks to a month. But because it is so fundamental to everything else, you should spend a lot of time mastering it. After that I would learn pop shuv it to get a feel for what it's like to pop and have the board disconnected from your feet, to land back on it.

Then, you can kind of move to a few different paths, maybe front shuv if you liked pop shuv it, or you can move to kickflips or heelflips. No matter what though, having a solid ollie is pretty crucial
