Illusion Flip
Also called muska flip
What it is
The board flips like a frontside kickflip but the front foot does nothing — the flip comes entirely from the back foot pressing down. Associated with Chad Muska.

Illusion Flip
How it works
- Pop with the back foot pressing down hard and outward; the pressure alone flips the board in a frontside-kickflip motion while the front foot simply lifts clear.
- Catch the board once it flips and land — the 'illusion' is that no flick was ever thrown.
