The Backside Flip What is a backside flip, you ask? It's a backside 180 with a kickflip. First of all can you varial flip, if not, learn. Now, the first thing you should do is to either put your foot like you would for a kickflip or for a varial flip. Try both, it is different for different people and different boards. Now wind up your body in the opposite direction you are going to turn (towards your back) then unwind and spin your board like a varial flip. To do this start to turn the way you are spinning (towards your stomach) then kick your front foot out and kick your back foot backwards). Spin your body and stay above the board and turn with it the whole time. When you and the board are turned in the air, catch the board and land as cleanly as possible. Absorb the shock of the landing with your knees.
