I'm getting tons of height and coming down with the board under me but it kind of seems like the board is shooting out in front of me. I keep landing on my butt. Any help or input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Are you tying a H/S Frontflip or do you mean a backroll?

The key to landing a front flip is to keep your shoulders and board parallel. Since you keep landing on your butt, you might be throwing the flip a little to fantrum-ish. Try to not throw it back as much and see if that helps.
