^^ Appreciate it, to be fair though kickflip has always been one of my favorite tricks. I always kind of broke my skating into games and as a kid I remember I distinctively had the 'kickflip game', where I'd just try kickflips from unusual foot positionings and try to get different forms. A lot of my favorite skaters have very unique kickflips (from Quim to Donger to Gonz to Carroll to Maalouf etc.), so I've always found the trick itself fun to toy around with.
I remember Ben Gore catching me playing the kickflip game once and laughing at me, then doing the same thing, except he did a gigantic flatground kickflip from some fucked up foot positioning, laughed again, kept going then somehow casually hippy jumped through a tire standing upright (which I know doesn't sound right, but it was what it was) that happened to be there on the tennis court we were skating. I kind of started taking it easier on the kickflip game after that.
