Kickflip

n. (Skateboarding) kickflip, hardest of the basic tricks in skateboarding where the skateboarder kicks his/her board with the ball of his/her his/her front foot and makes it spin 360 degrees underneath him/her while in the air

The kickflip (originally magic flip, ollie flip, or ollie kickflip), also known simply as a flip, is an aerial skateboarding trick where the skateboarder kicks his board in order to make it flip 360 degrees along the board's long axis. The modern kickflip was invented by Rodney Mullen in 1983. A kickflip is executed similarly to the ollie: popping (putting pressure with your back foot on the tail) the tail of the deck and sliding the leading foot up to the top of the deck, bringing both board and rider off the ground. When a skater performs a kickflip, he begins a standard ollie and the then uses his front foot and flicks it off the corner of the nose of the skateboard to create a flip. He then brings his legs up and allows the board to spin then lowers his feet and catches the board with his feet after it has comleted one full rotation. The kickflip has become the defining trick of "New School" skateboarding and has been ported over to other boardsports, notably surfing, wakeskating, and skimboarding.
