Skateboarding Tricks: What is a Kickflip Varial

Video Transcript

The varial kick flip, or the kick flip varial, is when you do a kick flip in a 180 shove-it both at the same time. Your front foot is going to do the flipping, and your back foot is going to do the shove-it-ing, 180, and then you land back on the board and roll forward. So what you do to do a kick flip varial is, you want to set up in the kick position, with your foot a little bit in the shove-it position. Your front foot's going to be in charge of doing the kick flip, and your back foot is going to be in charge of doing the shove-it 180. How this trick works is, you hit the tail and leave the ground and flip the board 180 degrees and then land back on it. But at the same time, you're keeping your body stationary so that it goes around and lands back on it again. Some of the tricks you may have to learn before you try to kick with varial would be shove-its--have your shove-its very good, and kick flips. And have your kick flips very steady, because the kick flip 180 varial is going to require you to combine the two motions together and also be in the air for a split second longer than either one of those tricks. So you'll need to learn those before learning how to kick flip 180 varial.
