## What this trick is
Vairal kickflip is a combination of a pop shuvit and a kickflip, where the board completes a full flip and a 180 rotation under your feet at the same time!
## Before you try it
Get good at pop shuvits and kickflips!
## How to do it
1. **Front Foot**: Kickflip position, but you can experiment with bringing the front foot further back. **Back Foot**: Shuvit position
**Body Weight**: Forwards and over the board.
2. Do a pop shuvit whilst flicking the front foot directly forwards (or even slightly inwards) rather than off to the side as you would with a kickflip.
3. Lift your feet up and allow the board to rotate beneath you.
4. Catch with both feet and land!
## Common mistakes
- Only flipping half-way. Try flicking more inwards.
- Not shuving a full 180. Scoop harder. Practice shuvits again and then go back to the varials.
