Skateboarding Varial Flip

Let us have a look at a particular trick called the Varial Flip. A varial flip is when there is a lateral rotation of the skateboard or rider. There should be a varial rotation of 180 degrees.

The varial flip is basically a combination of the Kick Flip and the Pop Shove It.
It is important you have mastered these 2 tricks before you venture to do the varial flip.

So to start you need your toes off the side of the tail like a pop shove it, so that when you stomp on the tail the board rotates. You have your front foot like with a kick flip, so that you slide your front foot off the front of the board at the same time as the board pops up and rotates.

The board spins and rotates 180 degrees around as you are airborne, and then as the board lands on the floor you also land on the board with both feet nicely apart and balanced so that you catch the board just right and keep your balance.

So this is the varial flip, or varial kickflip, and is not too hard to figure out as you should have already got to grips with the kick flip and pop shove it.
This is basically shoving it as you flip, rotating the board with your back foot and flipping the board as well.
You do not want to flip the board too hard, but just enough for the board to rotate in the air and drop so you can land on top of it.

You can go on to heel flips and so forth after you have got to grips with the varial flip. I hope you have fun with this trick.
The trick, once learned, can be done at will, and looks a real neat and cool trick for you to perform. Like all tricks, your technique and control with this is everything, and you must have your technique rock solid before attempting it.
