Star Kip

Type of Trick: Invert / Spin

Prerequisites: Kip-up

Abbreviation: SK

Aliases: Star Kip-up, Windmill

Description: The Star Kip-up occurs when the practicioner goes from the ground back to his feet by spiraling his legs together, shifting his weight onto upon his shoulders, and pushing off the ground with his upperbody and arms.

This trick generally begins with you back facing the ground.

The design of this trick also causes the body to rotate 180° while kipping upwards, so when you land on your feet, you should be facing the opposite direction you were when you initiated the trick.
