Shown for a regular-footed rider. 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 pressure flip driven by the toes rather than the heel edge: the toes press the heel-side of the board near the tail, directly above the back wheel, and the foot is pulled back and forward to roll it. The result rotates the way a heelflip does, produced entirely from the back foot.

Step by step

  1. Place the back foot so the toes are over the heel-side edge above the back wheel.
  2. Press down through the toes and pull the foot back.
  3. Push forward again to send the board rolling.
  4. Keep the front foot clear of the rotation.
  5. Catch the board level and ride away.
