I've been struggling with this trick since last March. From day one, I was able to jump into them and make the bike spin...but my kicking foot would always drop straight to the ground. I scoured several forums and YouTube videos, but none ever specifically addressed my particular situation. After searching so long, I found that my problem of dropping the kicking foot to the ground seemed to be pretty common, yet never addressed when asked, so I thought I'd share what helped me out: JUMP, KICK, JAM, JUMP BACK WHEN FRAME IS AT 270, RIDE AWAY. **Do all this while watching your pedals!**
I was jumping and kicking at the same time, which messed up my balancing and it is why my kicking foot went straight to the ground after kicking. I literally go through the above sequence, saying it in my head while doing it, and it works like a champ. I now jump straight up, kick with my rear foot, THEN lean forward and jam in with my front foot and always land on my front tire with no problems from my kicking foot hitting the ground.
Even if my bike doesn't spin the whole 360 now and the back tire hits the ground and stops, I can still maintain my balance with my jam foot on the tire and my kicking foot in the air. If I don't land it completely now, it's only because I wasn't going fast enough before initiating the trick.
Hope this helps, and if not, just ask questions. I'm sure there are a ton of people here that can do these without thinking about it now.
