Any advice on kickers?

[joe135]

hey,
i need some advice on doing kickers. i been riding for about 2 mounths and can: BS & FS ollie 180s, surface 360s and grabbed ollie etc etc . I ride at thorpe cable and i wanna do the lil green kicker. Gone for it about 30 times and keep landing on my side or back and dont really seem to get much control in the air.my best attempt was when i landed in butterslide. I dunno if im setting up wrong or somthing. people say its a hard kicker to land because its so steep. any help??

Cheers Joe

Just an idea.
when you cut out to the kicker aim about 1ft in front of it rather than cutting all the way to the front of the ramp. This will give you a fraction of time to flatten the board so you hit it flat. Hit it flat and you'll get over it.
If the board's skipping out in front of you or behind you as you go up the ramp you're not hitting it with the board flat.
