Kickflip HELP! I know I’m kicking down.. I just can’t grasp how to not bring my foot down after flicking. Can someone analyze and please provide tips?

Ok I’ll try to keep ‘keep your knee up’ in mind. I remember being told to kick out and I think maybe that’s where this comes from. I feel like it might be difficult to break this habit.. we’ll see tomorrow though! Thanks!
Kick out, not down. Pretend like you're kicking through the corner of your nose. Then keep your front leg extended, and wait for your back foot to catch the board. Your front leg won't have anywhere to go after that except back on the board.

I practiced only landing my front foot, didn’t seem like it was doing anything but it worked!! Thanks for the advice again, I just posted a progress video again :)
