i feel that, but i can ollie higher than i can kickflip. i actually used to be able to kickflip way higher than i could ollie. kickflip four boards and ollied three. something like that. then i quit skating for about four years and now i'm slowly starting again. only this time my kickflips suck and my ollies are alright. for some reason i just can't pop the kickflips. they're like, just right off the ground. last night, though, i did find that it's mostly in the drag. if you kick off right as you pop it levels the board out higher. for that, though, i gotta place my front foot at about 3/4 level on the board.
