Hello, my name is Bill Kaschner, we're here at Cream City Stake Park located in Butler, Wisconsin. Today I'm going to teach you how to do the Hippie flip, a.k.a., the 180 Varial flip. The180 Varial flip is a pop shove it, pretty much with a kickflip. And what the board does is, you're going to be riding on your board, hopping up, kicking out your front foot, the board is going to turn way in air. And then you're going to land on your leg, like so. How it came to be the Hippie flip, I don't know, a lot of hippies did it, maybe. So I guess the basic motion for it is, have your back foot in Ollie position, front foot in kickflip position, use your shoulders a little bit. When you pop the board up in the air, make the board rotate 180, where you're kicking out, flip it around like so. Land on the bolts, stop away, go out and I don't know, do something, do something organic out there, while you land. Well, I think that's about it, it's Bill Kaschner, signing off here at Cream City Skate Park, thanks for watching.
