Doubleleg X-out

Type of Trick: Flip / Position

Prerequisites: Doubleleg, X-out

Abbreviation: DLX

Alias: Kim Do Kick

Description: The Doubleleg X-Out is a trick where a Doubleleg is being canceled for an X-Out.

Performed like any other "pop" trick, as soon as the performer leaves the ground, the shoulders turn away and drop back as the hips are brought over. This shifts the body into a position where it can flip out of the "pop" trick, as opposed to turning out of it like normal. While the subject flips over, the legs are chambered until the knees are pointing at the ceiling. Once they do, the legs are shot outwards into the "X-Out position" (kicked high and with both legs spread to match one's own wingspan, as the arms spread outwards). Once the legs lock out completely, they are retracted back inwards before the flip completes. This trick terminates by landing on both feet at the same time.
