Sorry for the new thread, but i figured you wouldn't scroll down to the old one.
Skateboarding Tricks.
a 360 flip is when the skater stays facing the same way, but the skateboard kickflips while spinning horizontally thru 360 degrees. it looks way cool.
a backside kickflip is the the board kickflips, and follows the skater thru a 180 degree rotation. backside indicates that the skater is turning toes in, heels out, if you get that meaning.
what you described as a kickflip using the back foot instead of the front foot, is either a back foot flip or a nollie/fakie flip
