Only if you also flip a yoyo. Kick flip on a kick flip sounds like hard mode

Double kickflip came to my mind too… it sounds impossible but it is definitely doable… just not by me :joy: i will try to do something fun with a skateboard

I noticed that Overtinkering did his dump trucks outside, while Ed dumped his inside. I take it either is fine? Also, is it two dumps, or just one?

This is what happens when y’all give me a trick I actually know! :sweat_smile:

I’ll work on a video with the rest, but for now here is my single trick entry!

On the outside is the original way. Inside totally works too. It’s also much easier. Doing it on the outside is a great way to flex on others that are in the know though.

Yeah outside is definitely preferred, it feels awkward but good at the same time
