Skateboarding Tricks: 360 Kickflip Fakie

A great variation of the 360 kick flip varial is simply to learn a 360 kick flip varial fakie. This is an exact same version of a 360 flip only you're rolling backwards and you're doing it in that direction. One of the major things that changes doing a fakie 360 kick flip is that your feet are now in the position rolling in the direction that you're rolling. So the momentum changes dramatically because you're on the side that you're headed into as opposed to rolling and fighting the 360 flip to go forward. So you're going to find in some cases that fakie 360 flip is easier to flip and to get around 360 than it is to do them forward because the momentum is greater and it's headed in that direction. So your foot placement is going to be exactly the same as for a 360 kick flip only you're rolling backwards now. So you're going to want to have comfortable fakie ollies before trying this trick and you're also going to want to have basic knowledge of how to do the 360 flip before you attempt this trick, but the fakie 360 flip is a great trick to bring once you've mastered the 360 flip because, like I said, the momentum works well so once you've got a straight 360 flip wired the momentum is greater and it's easier to get a good clean fakie 360 kick flip.
