Very well known and commonly performed today, the kickflip is a basic skateboarding trick. Once they have mastered the trick on flat ground, many skateboarders like to up the stakes and start taking this recently learned maneuver down obstacles.
They also start combining it with other tricks such as kickflip to frontside boardslide. To perform a kickflip, the rider ollies into the air, and lifts the back foot from the board while simultaneously sliding the front foot off the skateboard diagonally forward and towards the heel of the foot. This front foot motion, sometimes called "the flick", [5] spins the board, flipping it completely over. Before landing, the rider stops the spin by returning the feet to the board as it nears its original position.
The board revolves around its longitudinal axis, like an aileron roll. To understand this motion and the direction of rotation, imagine stepping backwards off of a skateboard, leaving it in front of you, then rolling it over on the ground toward you; during the kickflip, the board spins similarly, but in mid-air beneath the rider.
During a heelflip , a similar trick, where the riders front foot slides their heel toward the opposite side that they would with a kick flip resulting in a rotation of the board opposite to the kick flip.

While the board flipped completely over, it did not gain much clearance from the ground, and the setup required the rider to stand more parallel to the direction of motion with both feet facing the nose.
Very known and performed today, the kickflip is a very basic trick but still used a lot by professionals. It is usually the first trick a beginner learns after the ollie. In [ citation needed ] , Rodney Mullen invented the modern form of the trick [ 1 ] , initially naming it the "magic flip" [ citation needed ].
He first would use his relatively new flatground ollie to leave the ground, then, instead of lifting an edge with a toe, he initiated the flip by sliding his front foot off the top of the board. Mullen's kickflip technique gave him more control in several areas: the height of the clearance, the initiation time and speed of the flip, and the board's direction during the flip.
This technique was quickly adopted by freestylers and later by street skaters , introducing skateboarding to the era of flip tricks , many of which Mullen also created. To perform a kickflip, the rider ollies into the air, and lifts the back foot from the board while simultaneously sliding the front foot off the skateboard diagonally forward and towards the heel of the foot.
