360 Flip

A 360 flip combines a 360 shuvit with a kickflip. This trick is very hard, but they are very stylish. It is well worth the effort to learn them good. To start off, you need to find a position to put your feet in. There are many different positions to try. To start off, I would recommend that you put your back foot over the tail with the toes on the edge of the tail a bit in front of you, (so you can spin it behind you hard). Put your front foot close to the middle of the board, with your foot slid back so that the end of your toes are in the middle of the board.
When you are ready, pop straight down. Most people try to just sling the board around without popping much. I do not think that this is very helpful. Make sure you pop the tail hard. Then, as the tail smacks the ground, you want to flick your toes back hard. The reason for popping down, and then flicking the tail is so that the pop will make the board get off the ground before it starts flipping.
To make the board do the kickflip, you want to slide your front foot up the board almost straight. The board will be popped up so that the nose is turned a little like a BS shuvit, but you want to slide your foot up straight so that you flick off the side of the nose. Once the board is flipping, stay over it and land it over the bolts.
The biggest problem is flipping them fast enough to stay over it so you can land. If you pop down and then flick, you should be able to flick the board around fast. So just remember to actually pop down some when you try them; and flick back hard.
