| The list of flips tricks, much like Skateboarding, will forever be incomplete. Simply because with the trends of fingerboarding, certain areas are explored more than others. Some of these tricks have not yet been touched by fingerboarding however certain fingerboarders take much pride in attempting tricks that are fresh and new. |
Flip tricks are moves done normally from an Ollie setup with the exceptions of pressure flips. Here is a rough list of the many flip tricks in skateboarding, but also in fingerboarding.
List
Frontside/Backside Ollie 180: An ollie in which both the skater and the skateboard rotate 180 degrees either frontside or backside. If the skater spins some other multiple of 180 degrees (e.g. 360, 540), the trick is named accordingly.

Impossible : Where the board completes one rotation by rolling around the skater's back foot, in much the same manner as spinning a baton with one's hand. It is considered good style to make the board flip as vertical as possible. If the board spins laterally or comes off the back foot, it tends to end up looking more like a 360 pop shove-it. This trick can also be done with the front foot. That is called a "front foot impossible". This trick was invented by Rodney Mullen. He shared the idea of this trick with some of his older friends who told him it would be impossible, hence the name.
