Try to do more steps on the ground at first, then push yoursef up until you can land the trick. also ty to push your board high and strong enough :)

You just need to get used to the weight. Then you will not notice anything

You can ghost ride kickflip on anything! Practice first just flipping it without rolling, then once you got a feel for how hard you gotta kick it in order to spin it all the way, try it while rolling, for a heavier board you're going to have to kick real hard and get your timing kinda right, step your foot down too soon and you'll land with the board upside down

I recommend you practice the flip without rolling and on the grass. That way you’ll be able to get use to flip your board without being concerned about damaging it. It took me 10 minutes that way to adjust to a heavier board.

Try to flip it on the grass first and find out how hard you have to kick it. You can flip anything. I have a heavy plastic longboard from Walmart and If I can flip that you can flip that board.

I had the issue where I was trying to kick the deck into a flip, I found this hurt my foot and I got nowhere at getting the board to do a whole 360°. I then tried to lift the board with my foot and flick it kind of into a flip, this worked so much better and now I can do it! Hope this helped
