Pop 540

Type of Trick: Kick / Spin

Abbreviation: P5

Alias: Fake 540

True Kick Terminology: hyper360round

Description: Taking off both legs from a ready position, the practitioner rotates 540° along the transverse plane while executing an inside crescent kick and landing on the kicking leg. This move is very similar to the regular 540, but with a "pop" setup instead of the "cheat" setup.

History: This move first appeared on the NCKA circuit in the late 90's and then made its way onto NASKA shortly thereafter, back in the days when a true 540 was a sought-after showpiece. Once regular 540's became commonplace, this trick fell into the shadows of the "old school" tricking book.
