That is impressive at any weight, but at 300, that means you are pretty flexible. You have to be able to squat low, jump as high as possible, kick your leg straight out, and land it all within a matter of a seconds?
If you dont nail it exactly on your bolts, you are looking at a snapped deck.
I saw Ryan Sheckler skate at the Open in HB last summer. that kid is amazing. he did a cool trick called a Beni-Hana finger flip. Would have been cool to catch him when he was around 8 or 9.

I am 265 or so now. My kickflip comes and goes. Sometimes I can nail it with ease. Other times it's like you say, I kick the board out too far. I have this problem with any sort of heelflip attempt. I can't do that. I also can't ride switch at all. Which is why I could never do a big spin or anything without sliding out.
I've snapped a deck once. Busting an ollie down a 3 stair set.
