i'm just kidding kickflipping onto your front truck is easy if you try.

For the example's sake, assume you're regular: If you're doing a kickflip, your front foot flicks up and left, which kinda shifts your body that direction. And since your foot is already moving that direction, it's easier for your body to follow that way rather than the opposite way (frontside)

I heard MOBing your kickflips helps even more
