Old School Kickflip
Originally just called the Kickflip (aka "Classic Flip"/"Magic Flip"), this trick and many of the variations were also invented in the 1970s by Bobby "Casper" Boyden. Including the first recorded Kickflip in vert skateboarding! You stand in the middle of your board, feet close together, pointed towards the nose. Hook the foot you're most comfortable flipping with under the board and turn your body. That puts your foot under the board. From there you give a kick, jump, turn side ways, and land when the board is done flipping. There were many variations such as Double Flips, Varial Flips, 360 Flips and M-80s. Your feet should never touch the ground in the trick.
