Whell almost but still not quite, it don’t quite know how to explain the difference other than this. In this trick, you do a half of a kickflip then wrap your foot forward causing the board to do a 180, basically it’s like a wrapped 1/2 kickflip late shuv. Then because your body is rotating the board spins additionally an extra rotation for each spin your body makes. So for this trick it’s a 360 so the board goes 540. With a front foot impossible you do a varial heelflip but instead of flicking out and allowing the board to spin you pull your foot backwards and what the board 360. So if you did a 360 while you did a front foot impossible it would have to be the opposite way that he spun in this video and because a front foot impossible spins 360 if your body rotated 360 the board would do a 720. I really tried to find someone doing it fakie so it would match up better with this trick but I couldn’t, here is someone doing regular tho [VIDEO]
