    --- title: Varial kickflip switch: true skill: Flip the board like a kickflip whilst it completes a 180 backside shuvit prerequisite: - pop-shove-it - kickflip image: https://youtu.be/ff2m--lXE-g?1:22.2-1:25.1varial-kickflip.mp4 ---
    ## 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.
