A '''flip trick''' is a type of [[skateboarding]] [[skateboarding trick|trick]] in which the [[skateboard]] does a flip. In many tricks, the skateboard flips upside down and/or end over end. Many simple tricks, such as a [[kickflip]] and heelfip, as well as a pop shove it, can be combined to form more complex flip tricks.

==Franchise history==

;360 Double Flip :The 360 double flip is a 360 pop shove it and a double kickflip executed in one maneuver. The 360 Double Flip is also known as a Double Tré flip & 360 nightmare flip.

In their inaugural season in 2001, the Lizards split their home games between [[Hofstra Stadium]] and [[EAB Park]](now Citibank Park). For the 2002 season, they used Hofstra Stadium as their home field. As of 2003, the Lizards have played all home contests at [[Mitchel Athletic Complex]], in Uniondale, New York. The Lizards have won American Division championships in 2001, 2002, and 2003, and Major League Lacrosse titles in 2001 and 2003. The team made the playoffs in 2005 as a wildcard despite a losing record.

;360 Hardflip

:A kickflip with an FS 360 Pop shove it. Note: In the less recent tony hawk games (T.H.U.G. 2 and back), the animation for the trick has been mixed up with a 360 Heelflip.

==Season-by-season==

;360 Heelflip/Laser flip

<center>

:The 360 heelflip is simply a heelflip merged with a frontside 360 shove-it. Lesser known than its opposite trick, the tré flip, many skaters consider the 360 heelflip to be much harder than the tré flip. It is commonly known as a laser flip. (Pronounced "lazer" flip.)

;360 Inward Heelflip

:The inward 360 heelflip is a combination of the backside 360 pop shove-it and the heelflip. The word 'inward' comes from the riders point of view when executing this trick.

!align="center" colspan="7" bgcolor=black style="color:#00a86b"|'''2007 Long Island Lizards'''

:Back foot casper flips are a 1/2 kickflip, then the back foot hits the tail of the board and rotates it frontside 180.

;Backside 180

: Turning in the direction of the rider's toes, the rider and the board spin 180 degrees in the same direction and at the same time. It is sometimes shortened to "BS 180" or "Back 180".

|1|| Dan Cocchi ||Midfield ||5' 11"|| 185 lbs

;Backside 180 Heelflip

|-

:Similar to a backside 180 kickflip, except it is done with a heelflip instead. Also shortened to "Backside Heel"

|3|| Joseph Canuso ||Goal ||6' 0" || 200 lbs

|-

;Backside 180 Kickflip

|5|| Nick Russo ||Midfield ||6' 0" ||180 lbs

:A kickflip plus a backside 180 ollie, or a varial kickflip with a [[body varial]] in the same direction. Commonly called a "Backside Flip".

|-

|6|| Chris Massey ||Attack ||5' 11"||182 lbs

;Big Spin

|-

:The board spins 360 degrees, much like a 360 shove-it. At the same time, the performer does a body varial in the same direction, which is simply spinning 180 degrees in the air. This trick can be executed in many different ways: Nollie, fakie, frontside, backside. However, the trick is not known as a big spin because it "spins big", it has nothing to do with the way the trick acts at all. It was named after [[Brian Lotti]]. His last name sounds like the word "Lottery", and the "Big Spin" was the name of a Californian lottery going on at the time. A "perfect" big spin execution would be as follows: The rider executes a 270-degree shove-it, spinning his/her body 90 degrees. At this point, the rider catches the board in midair with their feet and rotates the remaining 90 degrees with the board.

|7|| [[Keith Cromwell]] ||Attack ||6' 1" ||180 lbs

|-

;Bigspin Heelflip/FS Laser flip

|8|| Peter Vlahakis ||Midfield/Faceoff||5' 10"|| 190 lbs

:A bigspin heelflip is like a bispin kickflip except its done with a heelflip, and is usually performed frontside. The board flips like a lazer flip and the rider spins 180 degrees frontside. To perform a bigspin heelflip, set up like a fs bigspin, and then move your frontfoot back to about the middle of the board. Once there make sure your toes hang off and your feet are parrallel. You want to really pop this one quick so it spins around before hitting the ground. The board usually spins off behind you the first couple times you try, so try finding a spot that you can consistently spin the board and keep it underneath you.

|-

|9|| Tim Goettelmann ||Attack ||6' 4" ||215 lbs

;Bigspin Flip/Bigflip

|-

:This trick is done by combining both the bigspin and the kickflip. It has many variations. This trick is mostly learned by doing a varial kickflip and adding a pivot to the end of it. Like a big spin, only instead of doing a 360 shove-it, the skateboarder does an ollie 360 flip (usually an ollie is also required to complete the flip element).

|10|| [[Jay Jalbert]] ||Midfield ||6' 2" ||210 lbs

All bigspin flips can be done frontside, regular, switch, fakie, nollie, and backside.

|-

|11|| [[John Gagliardi]] ||Defense ||6' 0" ||200 lbs

;Blender Flip

|-

:when the board is flipped on its side and scooped like a regular impossible but on its side.

|12|| [[Parks 'Glenn' Adams III]] ||Attack ||5' 10"||170 lbs

|-

;Fullcab/Cab Flip

|13|| Stephen Berger ||Midfield ||6' 0" ||190 lbs

:A kickflip combined with a frontside 360 fakie ollie (a [[Caballerial]], hence the name).

|-

|15|| Frank D'Agostino||Defense ||6' 2" ||210 lbs

;Casper Flip

|-

:A casper flip is a complex skateboarding styled tricking maneuver. It occurs when the skater pops the board diagonally and performs a half of a kickflip, laterally rotating the board frontwise along the downward axis, then with the front foot pushes and rotates the board inverse clockwise back to positive stance. This is usually followed by an inward rotation of the body to increase stabilization effects. It is often confused with an anticasper flip, the difference being casper flips are rotated with the front foot, and anticasper flips are with the back foot. A variation of this trick, known as a "Hospital flip" is executed in the same fasion, only without any assistance from the back foot in mid-air.

|17|| Reynolds Garnett||Defense ||6' 4" ||215 lbs

;Disco Flip

|18|| Nick Murtha ||Goal ||6' 0" ||180 lbs

:A Disco Flip is the combination of a Heelflip/Kickflip and a fs/bs 180 Body Varial.

|-

|19|| Ryan Moran ||Midfield ||5' 11"||175 lbs

;Double Flips

|-

:Any flip trick where the board does a full extra rotation of all of its flips (Or the most prominent flip). The term "Double flip" is usually applied to a Double kickflip, however many flip tricks follow this naming convention. Double heelflip, Varial Double flip (Nightmare flip) etc...

|21|| Tim Byrnes ||Midfield ||6' 3" ||205 lbs

|-

;Eskimo Flip

|22|| Patrick Walsh Jr||Attack ||5' 8" ||180 lbs

:An Eskimo Flip is the combination of a tré flip (360 flip) with a fs 180 body varial. It is similar to the twisted flip, except with a 360 flip rather than a varial flip.

|-

|23|| Adam Borcz ||Midfield ||6' 1" ||185 lbs

;Forward Flip (murder flip)

|-

:A forward flip is performed by olleing and then initiating a (vertical) nollie hardflip in the air, thereby defining the hardflip portion as a "late flip". The full technical name of the trick is an "ollie to late nollie hardflip". It is also known as a dolphin flip, murder flip and a Stanton flip, after professional skateboarder Darrell Stanton, who is said to have popularized the trick. <ref>http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060802141253AATMIDh</ref>

;Feather Flip

|27|| Austin Garrison ||Midfield ||6' 2" ||190 lbs

:The board spins as it would for an Impossible but after the board had spun half way around the skater catches the board with his feet in Switch Casper position and then flick the board back the way it came from to land back on the board.

|-

;Frontside 180 Ollie

|-

:Turning in the direction of the rider's heels, the rider and the board spin 180 degrees in the same direction and at the same time during an ollie. It is often shortened to "F/S 180".

:A nollie hardflip to backside revert. Popularized by Weston Dawson and Kareem Campbell.

|-

|0|| Jamie Ireland ||Midfield ||0' 0" ||0 lbs

;Half-Cab

|-

:A frontside or backside fakie 180. Half of a caballerial, hence half-Cab. Different skateboarders often debate whether a frontside half-cab is spun such that the rider turns their shoulders in the direction of travel. However, the term FS means that when performing any type of 180, halfway through the spin, the rider is facing forward.

|0|| Joe Mascaretti ||Midfield/Faceoff||5' 11"||195 lbs

|-

;Half-Cab Kickflip/Heelflip.

|}

:The rider executes a half-cab (Fakie 180 ollie) with his hips and kickflips or heelflips the board with his feet. Since the simpler and more common half-cab kickflip is performed as a fakie backside kickflip, the opposite direction of rotation with a kickflip is referred to as a frontside half-cab kickflip.

;Hardflip

*updated 05/21/2007

:A Hardflip is a frontside shove-it with a kickflip. This is one of the hardest tricks to learn because of the way the board spins. True hardflips are done flipping under the legs and not in between. Hardflips going through the legs are sometimes known as Illusion Flips.

;Hellflip

:A combination of a Double Kickflip, Backside Pop-Shovit, and Frontside Body Varial.

;Heelflip

:An ollie heelflip is the same as a kickflip, only the board spins outwards away from the rider's body and under their feet before they land. Again, there is a kick as part of the ollie but unlike the kickflip it is directed forward and outwards away from the rider's toe side (diagnolie), so that the last part of the foot to leave the board is the heel, hence the name.

;Hospital Flip

:Hospital flips are a b/s 180 and a casper flip.

;Helipop

:Invented by rodney mullen, the helipop is a 360 backside nollie. This trick is not called a nollie cab.

;Hensley Flip

:The Hensley Flip, no-comply 360 flip, or Sproing (as it was known in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skateboarder franchise), is a trick popularized by Matt Hensley. The trick involves flipping the board like a 360 flip/360 inward heelflip while no-complying. Professional skateboarder Mike Carrol can be seen performing a Hensley Flip in the Girl Skateboards video [[Yeah Right!]].

;[[Ollie Impossible|Impossible]]

:An ollie impossible, commonly known as an impossible, is a combination of an ollie and a spinning maneuver. The skater ollies, then uses his/her back foot to scoop up the board, so the board flips vertically. Then the skater brings his knees up, so the board can flip. After that, he catches to board and lands it.

By definition, an impossible is a type of pressure flip, but it is rarely treated as such

;Inward Heelflip

:An inward heelflip combines a backside [[Pop Shove-it]] with a heelflip. The name comes from the rider's point of view, because while doing an inward heelflip, the 180 degree rotation of flip moves the board inward instead of outwards as in a varial heelflip.

;[[Kickflip]]

:Invented by Rodney Mullen in the mid 80's, this trick came about as a failed attempt at the new trick he had created, the flatland Ollie. He noticed that if he ollied and dragged his feet off the board by accident, it would flip. Kicking or flicking out imparts enough force to flip or spin the board on an imaginary axis running from the nose to the tail. The original name for this trick after conception was the "magic flip" because no one understood how it worked or flipped. The kickflip is a trick in which the rider does an ollie, but while dragging their foot up the board to level out the Ollie, flicks their front foot off (Hard) of the board to the heel side to create enough force to spin the board one full 360 rotation along the imaginary axis described above. If flicked harder, two or three full flips can be imparted on that axis. These are called double or triple kickflips.

;Late flip

:A kickflip performed after the highest peak of an ollie. These are normally (But not always) done with the backfoot. If it were done in the nollie stance, the late flip would be performed with the front foot.

;Late Shove-it

:Similar to a late flip, this trick combines an ollie with a pop shove-it, usually frontside, done at the peak of the ollie. One example is Caswell Berry's, down the famous Barcelona four (MACBA). When a shove it is not on time.

;Lotti

:A maneuver where the skater ollies and turns 360 degrees FS or BS, while the skateboard only completes 180 degrees of the rotation (Spinning the same way). Also known as a Blowout.

;Nightmare Flip

:Similar to the Varial Kickflip, except that the board flips twice. Typically performed by Bud Howard. This trick is a cross beetween a double kickflip and a pop shove-it

;No Comply

:The no comply dates way back to before ollies, the trick is a way to get up something without ollieing but by popping the board and placing a foot on the ground. To perform the most basic variation "the fs 180 no comply" simply pretend like your doing a fs 180 except before you pop take your front foot and move it off the board in the heelside direction. Your board should drag a bit and if you lift your back foot it will follow it, guide it with the back foot and hop off your front while spinning. Land and ride away. Other variations include the fs pop shove-it no comply, the no comply up a curb, the no comply 360, etc. All can be done by altering the backfoot position and how much pop/spin you put on your board. Experiment!

;Nollie

:A name for a stance or the single trick itself. Nollie stance is standing on the board in switch fakie, or moving the front foot up to the nose of the board with the back foot in the middle of the board. Any trick done in this position is labeled a nollie trick. To do a nollie, the skateboarder rides in nollie stance and pops the board with the front foot on the nose, dragging the back foot to the back. The name is derived from either Natas Ollie after [[Natas Kaupas]], or nose ollie. Bs and Fs aren't switched with the nollie term.

;Ollie North

:Ollie one foot is an ollie during which the skateboarder moves the front foot forward off the board, instead or sliding it only to the nose of the skateboard. During the trick the skateboarder hovers in mid air with his/her front foot outside and in front of the skateboard. The trick was invented by Rodney Mullen.

;Pop Shove-it

:A pop shove-it is a combination of the ollie and the shove-it. During a pop shove-it, the rider initiates an ollie, but the back foot smacks down the tail with a "shove" towards the heelside while the front foot lightly assists in the rotation of the board, if at all. The skater must then quickly lift his or her legs out of the way to let the board rotate( clock-wise if regular foot; anti-clockwise if goofy-footed) and rise to its highest point before catching with the feet. The initial popping of the tail determines the height of the pop shove-it. This trick can also be done in reverse where the back foot shoves the tail towards the toe-side. Pop shove-its were also known as ollie varials (the original varial is a trick performed by grabbing the board), but nowadays the term varial is used only with "combined" tricks such as ollie heelflip varial, or to refer to the original varial.

;Pressure Flip

:Any flip trick that is done without any pop. This is accomplished by applying pressure to different spots on the board to make it do flips. The most common pressure flip spins like an inward heelflip There are also ones that spin like a hardflip, varial flip, varial heelflip, and many others.

;Sal Flips

:These tricks are done when the skateboarder is in the air and grabs the nose of the board and flips a 360 pop shove-it or a 360 Fs shove-it with his or her hands.

;Scissor Flip

:The heelflip version of the casper flip, it is a 1/2 heelflip then a FS shove-it done with the back of the front foot to land the skateboarder back on the board. It often helps when learning the varial heelflip.

;Semi-Flip

:This trick looks similar to a hardflip, and is often confused with it. It is mainly done by Rodney Mullen. The board is flipped about one quarter of a kickflip rotation and then pushed into a varial heelflip motion with the back foot. This can be seen clearly in the DVD version of [[Rodney Mullen vs Daewon Song]] Round 2, in the early part of Rodney's part that is in a blue tint. Rodney also does the trick to manual in the Globe video ''Opinion''.

;Sex Change

:This trick is a combination of a kickflip and a frontside 180 body varial. The heelflip variant of a sex change is also known as a '''Disco Flip'''.

;Shifty Flip (BS)

:A shifty flip is when the rider turns 90 degrees backside while kickflipping the board, then turns 90 degrees frontside in midair, landing in the same orientation [regular/switch] as they did when they started the trick. Also known as a Kickflip BS Shifty

;Shifty Flip (FS)

:A shifty flip is when the rider turns 90 degrees frontside while performing a kickflip, then turns 90 degrees backside in midair, landing in the same stance [regular/switch] as they did when they started the trick. Also known as a Kickflip FS Shifty

;Shit Flip

: A Shit flip is when the rider attempts a regular [[Kickflip]] but performs it with no air and lands on the board after it has flipped and landed on the ground. Noticed rather than invented by Child (from [[Free Beer After 11]]) and his friend Lily-ham. Also known as a "Skatepark Flip".

;Shove it sex change

:A Shove it sex change is a backside pop-shove it and a frontside body varial, or a frontside pop-shove it and a backside body varial. can be performed in all stances i.e. regular, switch, nollie, fakie. This is more commonly known as a Kastellarial or a Twisted shove it.

;Twisted Flip

:Sometimes called a Chopper Flip. A varial kickflip and a [[Body Varial]] in the opposite direction. Similar to the sex-change, but done with a varial kickflip instead of a kickflip.

==='''Not to be forgotten'''===

;Varial Kickflip

*[[Casey Powell]]

:A varial kickflip [commonly known as a "varial"] is a trick which is a combination of a backside [[Pop Shove-it]] and a kickflip. The board spins 180 degrees while flipping.

== Retired numbers ==

;Varial Heelflip

#29 [[Pat McCabe]]

:A varial heelflip combines a frontside Pop Shove-it with a heelflip, Due to the skateboard being behind the skater for most of the trick, (Due to the FS shove) this is a very advanced trick.
