How to BS 180 Kickflip aka BS Flip | Skateboard Trick Tip | skatedeluxe

What this video teaches

The kickflip companion to skatedeluxe's backside 180 heelflip video, included for direct comparison. It shows the same backside 180 timing and shoulder wind-up but a different front-foot position (slanted kickflip angle rather than toes hanging off the heel edge) and a different back-foot placement (more on the inside of the tail), useful for confirming which setup details are unique to the heelflip version.

Key tips

• 1Back foot sits more toward the inside of the tail for this kickflip variant, contrast this against the heelflip version's back-of-tail placement
• 2Front foot sits slightly behind the bolts and slanted in the kickflip angle, not hanging off the heel edge like the heelflip setup
• 3Wind your shoulders and bend down before popping, identical timing to the backside 180 heelflip
• 4Pop the tail down and behind you with the back foot to build the same rotation used in the heelflip version
• 5The board's rotation or flip is generated by the kickflip motion of the front foot rather than a heel-out flick
• 6Combine the backside 180 turn with the kickflip motion at the same time, not sequentially
• 7Pull your legs up right after the flick so the board has room to complete a full rotation before the catch
• 8Use this video mainly to confirm your backside 180 foot and shoulder mechanics are correct, then swap in heelflip flick technique instead of the kickflip motion shown here
