| description = A '''Calf Wrap''' is where the skater using one foot wraps the board around their other leg which is planted on the ground, then unwraps it to land back in a riding position. [[Mike Vallely]] helped bringing popularity to the trick. "Flamingo or Figure Four" was the original way of doing it because it looks like a Flamingo or the number 4 - where the board is touching the inside knee/thigh. This trick had little use till later faster versions were perfected (to accommodate the backside 180 re-entry on banks and ramps)Thus "wrapping your calf" instead of your knee. Invented by [[Derek Belen]], made popular by [[Rey Gregorio]], then perfected by [[Dorian Tucker]], and [[Kris Markovich]]. | | description = A '''Calf Wrap''' is where the skater using one foot wraps the board around their other leg which is planted on the ground, then unwraps it to land back in a riding position.
