Hey I used to be really good on kick flips with my FlatFace G12 Wide. But with my new deck being the Home Wood new mold 2013 deck since it seems to be alot lighter I end up over flipping the deck and doing double and even triple kickflips. What are some tips to overcome this?

Try riding slower maybe? Or try popping more and flipping less?

Feel your finger slide on the board, and only at the end, lash out your finger lightly or softly (depending on how hard you pop) and you should rotate once. Also don't throw your arm out like you're karate-chopping a fly. You just gotta feel it.

Practice your catch. Catch it after one spin, mid air instead of when youre going down.

Focus the flip with your front finger, use the back finger to catch, helps with gaining control with faster flips.

Catch your flip like was said before. And move your front finger up more, towards the inside of the concave, so you get a slower flip,

try putting your front finger higher up on the board, that's what i do if i want to slow down the flip.

focus lots on the front finger! if its over flipping, try to nudge your front finger closer to the tail..itll probably feel weird at first, but you'll get used to it

I had a similiar problem, but with under flipping [went from 96mm td to full size 100mm wood board]

practice, and good luck(:

You should put ur front finger more up to the nose, not on the nose but on the bolts behind it. Also u could try popping faster but flicking slower, hope it helps. Good luck !
