What Is The Definition Of Body Varial In Skateboarding?

1. A body varial is a trick in which the skateboarder jumps off the board while it is in motion, turns 180 degrees and lands back on the board as it rolls. This is a variation on a hippie jump and can be done with a frontside or backside turn. A more advanced version of the trick involves completing an ollie with a body varial.

Follow these steps to complete a body varial:

1. Roll your board at a medium speed, then crouch down slightly.
2. As you jump up off the board, twist your shoulders and arms in the direction of your spin to rotate in the air.
3. Place your feet back on the board facing the opposite direction. Avoiding leaning forward or backward as you land.
4. Crouch as you land to maintain balance.
