01 This trick is basically a kickflip, but
you pop off your front foot and flip with your back foot this time.
So to start you need to be in a similar position to a nollie, with
your back foot slightly more over
to the heel edge of the board.

02 As you crouch, you'll be looking forward,
but point your back foot slightly toward the tail of the board, in a similar
way to what you do with your front foot in a kickflip.
|
 |

03 As you pop and start the flip, hit down
and forward with your front foot as you do in a nollie, this will help
you stay over your board and not leap forward. Flipping the board is tricky
as it's your back foot and it won't be used to the power, so really give
it some power to flip it round.

04 At first these will be really low and
you'll probably land primo a lot as it's difficult to get used to the
flip with your back foot. The key is the power in the back foot, you'll
need lots more than you'd normally use
in a kickflip.

05 Catching these is difficult as you tend
to pull your back foot to the middle of the board at first, so try to land
with your feet spread evenly over the board. Truckbolt landings are best.
To help avoid this, the pushing down and forward of the nose as you pop
will help. |
 |

06 Again, this will feel like a weird landing
at first, so be prepared to adjust your direction. Eventually try and
get them without having to tick tack at the end. to keep them moving after
landing you'll have
to do them with a bit of speed,
so get practicing.
