Method #1

The 180 Kick-Flip is a mixture between the 180 Ollie and the Kick-Flip. All it is, is a kick-flip where you and the board spin 180 degrees.

Step 1: Put your feet like you're doing a Kick-Flip.

Step 2: Then pop the tail of the board.

Step 3: Now when the board pops up, start to spin the board like you would when you do a 180 Ollie. Then at the same time, slide your foot up the board and then kick it out! That will cause the board to spin and flip at the same time! While the board is spinning underneath you, you have to keep spinning with it. When it turns 180 and flips over, land it. It should take the same amount of time as a 180 Ollie so you don't need any more "hang-time".

Step 4: When the board is finished spinning and the grip tape comes back around land it.

How to do a Backside 180° Kick-Flip

The b/s kickflip is not an easy trick. Before even attempting this make sure you've got kickflips and backside 180s dialled, then this is what you do. Begin the kickflip motion as usual but begin to rotate your body backside. If you've done this then you'll probably rotate 90 degrees with your board flipping as usual. The tricky part is getting the next 90 degrees and this is how to do it. As you and your board rotate catch the board when it has completed about 3/4 of it's flip with your back foot, then with a sweeping motion drag it around the remaining amount. It is very hard to this trick by doing a kickflip varial then just throwing your body around 180 degrees. The key is how you catch the board. Catch it at an angle as you will be able to rotate it much easier than if it were paralell to the ground.
