Shown for a regular-footed rider riding fakie. Teal ring + arrow = the rider's facing direction; teal band = the tail; a dot is where a hand holds the board - bright yellow for the front hand, amber for the back one, which is the whole difference between a mute and an indy. Board and rider rotate independently - each follows its own component. Drag to orbit.

How it works

A Caballerial with a kickflip: from fakie, rider and board rotate a full 360 backside together while the board rolls once around its long axis. The flick is released inside a fast-spinning frame in the first quarter of rotation, the catch made blind near 180, and the final half of the spin ridden out with the board already pinned to the feet. Lands rolling fakie.

Step by step

  1. Roll fakie, shoulders wound deeply frontside over a kickflip stance.
  2. Pop hard and release the full backside spin.
  3. Flick the heel-side nose corner immediately, inside the first 90 of rotation.
  4. Catch by feel around halfway and tuck, letting board and body finish the 360 as one.
  5. Spot the landing late, extend, and touch down rolling fakie.

Body mechanics

Front footInstant flick then early blind catch; afterwards it clamps the nose through the remaining spin.
Back footPops, catches, and pins the tail so the flipped board spins with the body.
ShouldersMaximum wind-up and full release - they power 360 of rider and board while the feet handle the flip.
ArmsWhipped then tucked; opened only at the landing.
GazeLeads the spin, abandoning the flip to feel and re-spotting the ground at three-quarters.
