An '''M80''' is an old school kickflip, but as soon as it's done flipping, instead of landing on the board with all 4 wheels touching down on the ground, you land on it with more weight on the [[Nose|nose]] for a split second nose [[Wheelie|manual]] before you pivot out on the nose. If you did the Old School kickflip and landed in [[Fakie|fakie]], you would pivot out to forward. If you did it out to forward, you would pivot into fakie. Kevin Harris did his Old School kickflips into multiple 360 Spins on one foot.

    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 on the nose and pivot out.

    M80 scholar Tony Gale defines it like this: "a 'proper' M80 would be described as a kickflip body varial to fakie 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 Kickflips down solid first, then add the body varial to fakie, then finally adding the pivot.
