Illusion Flip
This will be edited over time to make it better, and more in-depth. As of now, this is not the final project. Definition Illusion Flip = Finally, We have the real meaning: A Vertical F/S Pop-Shove-it done between the Legs that looks Almost Identical to a Hardflip, except the Graphic on the Board faces the Opposite way Mid-Flip. Hence the Name Illusion Flip. The Setup Set up with your front foot in a kickflip position, but closer to the other side of the board, and your back foot like a heelflip, with most of your heel off, pointed with your toes at a 45 degree angle towards your nose. Picture of setup, opposite for gooft footers:
The Trick
Bend your knees, and push your back foots toes, in somewhat of a kicking motion, but with a scoop at the same time. Start to flick with your front foot, and right after that bring your foot backwards, like your front foot is following the noses shove-it momentum. The board should begin to hardflip. As the board is spinning, your front foot should stop the board from doing a full kickflip, gining the effect of an "illusion", hence the name "illusion flip". The board should be coming back to its correct position by now. As soon as you see the griptape, get your feet on the board and land.
This trick IS difficult to learn, it takes time. Try not to get frustrated, when I learned them I fell to the ground about 20-25 times.
