Chris Wimer: Trickipedia - Frontside Halfcab Kickflip

This is frontside. Nollie tricks spin directions are the same as your normal stance. Since the board is turning frontside relative to OP's normal stance, it's frontside, even though it might not feel that way to him. The way I remember it is by reminding myself how each stance relates to my normal stance. * Normal = Normal. * Switch = Normal, but Mirrored. * Nollie = Normal, but popped off the nose.* * Fakie = Normal, but backwards. *This makes Nollie a bit of an odd-one-out when it comes to spin directions. A 360 Flip spins backside in every stance ***EXCEPT*** Nollie, where it technically spins Frontside, despite being exactly the same foot movement as a Switch 360 Flip. This all sounded super wrong to me for years before it finally clicked. I used to skate street exclusively, and I always thought of Fakie as a sort of "Switch Nollie". Then I got into skating transition, and it all sort of came together in my head. Just to visually demonstrate, compare this Nollie FS Flip [VIDEO] to a FS HalfCab Flip / Fakie FS Flip [VIDEO], and see how they spin.

It depends. If it is nollie then it is a nollie backside flip. [VIDEO] If it's fakie, then it is a fakie frontside flip/frontside halfcab flip (same trick, different name depending on how old you are or where you're from). [VIDEO]
