How to Backside Flip, Step by Step

  1. Set your feet in kickflip position.
  2. Wind your shoulders frontside, then turn them backside as you pop.
  3. Flick the kickflip as your body starts to rotate.
  4. Turn your head to spot the landing over your shoulder.
  5. Catch the board and land rolling fakie.

Backside Flip Tips

  • The flick goes slightly behind you because your body is turning that way.
  • Commit the head turn. Half-turned shoulders leave the board at 90 degrees.
  • Practise backside 180s until you land them without thinking.
