A great variation of the half-cab kickflip, is to learn the nollie variation. Nollie half-cab kickflip, is when you ride in the nollie position, nollie 180-flip frontside, and land fakie and keep rolling. And turn that into a fakie roll. The nollie frontside 180-flip, is going to require you to be able to have nollie 180s pretty comfortably, and then combine the nollie flip and the nollie 180 together. So the nollie 180-flip is like this. You set up with your foot in the nollie position, with your tip of the toe on the board so that you're able to get maximum ability to nollie in height. Your back foot is going to be placed in the middle of the board, with your toe kind of slightly out. And what you're going to do is hit the nose, your foot's going to continue up the board, and flip the board 180 and then land in the fakie position. You're also going to want to kind of have a knowledge of the half-cab flip, because you're going to want to be able to know how to flip, and a timing is required for this trick. And then what you do is you take that trick and imagine it backwards. And then you're able to figure out how to nollie 180-flip.
