    Varial kickflip - Flip the board like a kickflip whilst it completes a 180 backside shuvit

    Source: Jonny Giger · HOW TO VARIAL KICKFLIP

    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.
