How do it
For this trick your leading leg kicks the board with a forward heel motion, which makes the board rotate underneath the rider in the direction opposite a kickflip, all performed from switch.
1.
You are in switch. Place your back foot on the tail, and have your front foot near the truck bolts, toes overhanging slightly.
2.
Bend your knees and crouch. At the same time snap the tail with your rear foot and have your front foot lead out and kick (hit) the nose outer face of the board with your heel, thus making it rotate.
3.
The board is now spinning underneath (the speed will seem high at first, but in time you will learn to follow and sense the board). Catch the board with both feet. Land. Ride away in switch.
