9 times out of 10, I cannot get this game to recognize my kick. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Does anyone have any guesses or hints for me?

Timing, timing, timing. You have to be right on with this one it gives you a fail.

Thanks. I tried again with trying to more careful about timing the kicks. I still wasn't getting credit for all of them, but it was alot better. And I finally unlocked the Advanced.
