A '''kicktail''' is where the skateboard deck bends upward behind the [[Tail]] or [[Nose]]. The '''kicktail''' acts as a lever and is vital for manoeuvrability. Freestyle decks typically have two styles of '''kicktail''', [[Single Kick]] and [[Double Kick]]. In the early days of skateboarding, the '''kicktail''' was only at the tail end, but now [[Double Kick]] decks (with a kicktail on the nose and tail) are far more common. | A '''kicktail''' is where the skateboard deck bends upward behind the [[Tail]] or [[Nose]].
