Calf Wrap
How it works
- With one foot planted on the ground, the rider uses the other foot to swing the board around the calf of the planted leg, wrapping it fully.
- The board is then unwrapped in one motion and the rider steps back on to roll away.
- An earlier slower version was called the Flamingo or Figure Four.
