kickflip

A kickflip is a skateboarding trick where the rider kicks the front of the skateboard with their front foot while jumping into the air, causing the board to flip horizontally beneath them. As they lift off, they scoop or flick the edge of the board with their front foot to make it spin 360 degrees along its length. The rider then twists their body and prepares to land back on the board after the flip completes, maintaining balance and control. The trick requires coordination, timing, and practice to perform smoothly and land safely.
