| description = | | description = The '''M80''' (Pronounced "em-eighty") was invented by [[Matt Barden]] and gets it's modern name from a shortening of "Matt 180". It is basically an Old-School [[Kickflip]] with a body varial, but instead of landing on all four wheels, you land [[Fakie|fakie]] on the [[Nose|nose]] and pivot out. | ||
[[M80]] scholar [[Tony Gale]] defines it like this: "a 'proper' [[M80]] would be described as a [[Kickflip|kickflip]] [[Body Varial|body varial]] to [[Fakie|fakie]] [[Pivot|pivot]]. It creates that see-saw motion, as the legs swing to meet the nose, and then swing the board back as the hips unwind." | |||
The natural progression for learning this trick is to get your regular [[Kickflip]]s down solid first, then add the body varial to fakie, then finally adding the pivot. | |||
