There are some flipping techniques for skateboards, such as Kickflip, Heelflip, etc
How to perform flipping techniques on a skateboard, such as the Kickflip and Heelflip, requires practice, coordination, and proper technique. Here are the basic steps to perform these tricks:
Kickflip:
Start with your feet in the ollie position, with your back foot on the tail and your front foot angled diagonally across the board.
As you pop and slide your front foot for an ollie, flick the side of your front foot off the edge of the nose towards the heel side of the board.
Simultaneously, use your back foot to scoop and kick the tail down and away from you, adding the necessary flip to the board.
As the board flips, keep your eyes focused on it and prepare to catch it with your front foot.
Once the board completes the flip, extend your front foot and aim to catch the board with the top part of your front foot, just above the bolts.
As you catch the board, bring your back foot up and prepare to land.
