How to pop your tricks lower? (Specifically kickflips)

[Skatebeard]

My kickflip flipping speed is controlled by my popping foot.

 I pop from the heel side of my tail unless backside flip or rotation.

If I want to land on a ledge I'm center of the tail. I don't do this much. Kick flip crooks have a high chance of folding me up now that I'm old. I have a tendency to land both wheels on top also I'm pushing into the ledge so I fold up.

I can flip my kickflip crazy fast if I line my toes up with the edge of my board. I think it's because when it pops the board starts to flip the other way giving me a harder flick.

All this might be bullshit idk.

I definitely know I prefer popping from center of heel side of the tail unless backside flips are the goal.

Interesting how people vary when it comes to kickflips- i pop my flips, fakie flips and half cab flips all with my toes/forefoot in the toeside pocket of the tail. I find it squares me up over the board better and keeps it straight relative to my shoulders.

I do my flips with slightly open shoulders though, so maybe the back foot position is compensation for that somehow.

Whatever works I guess.
