Skateboarders scoff at us mountainboarders from time to time due to our lack of flip tricks. I have been trying to rebuke them there, and have gotten pretty darn close to landing a kick-flip a couple times. Has anyone managed to land one, without a ramp?
It's obviously not the same thing as on a skateboard, for the incredulous. I have gotten some pretty fast rotation by throwing my board up off my front foot and kicking down with my back foot (the trick is to get it to spin and stay level, and beneath you as you're in the air). I'm planning on getting shin guards before I try this more, though... this stupid trick has made me bleed more than any other.
