flip

within skateboarding, there are two definitions. one is the act of flipping your entire body (along with the skateboard) around in mid air; either upside down (frontflip/backflip) and/or sideways (barrel rolls, toe side and heel side). these types of flips are normally done on a half-pipe, or at least a ramp big enough to do them, because you need a fair amount of height in order to do them without landing upside down.

the much more common definition is the act of fliping only the skateboard and not your body. this can be done with the hands, but is normally done by snapping an ollie and sliding your feet off the board in a way that keeps it under you and also flips it over.

there are many kinds of flip tricks, and these aren't even all of them:
heelflip
kickflip
varial kickflip
360 flip
shove it
hardflip
inward heelflip
etc, etc.

-Flip is a term used colloquially by Filipino American youth to refer to those of Filipino descent.

-According to the late journalist and activist Alex Fabros, Sr. (1903–1999), the term was first used among Filipinos sometime after his immigration to the United States in 1929.

-While Flip is usually used inoffensively, the folk etymology of the term is that it is an acronym for fucking little island people which was allegedly coined by American soldiers during World War II. In response, many young Filipino Americans changed the first word of the acronym to funny, fine, or friendly. The slang flip was invariably used as an acronym for fine-looking island people by Flip Gear, a California-based clothing brand1 .

-A more plausible etymology of the term is that it is derived from the word Filipino.

-There are Filipinos who do avoid the term for other reasons (such as "flipped" being used to mean "gone crazy", giving the term a perceived negative connotation) and prefer to be simply called Filipino or Pinoy/Pinay instead.

AKA fillipino, come in different types

1. FOB - Fresh Off the Boat. Faggot ass bitches, who think theyre gangsta. Usually seen wearing shorts 3 sizes too big, a doo rag, and a white tank top. Speak terrible english, and have nasty ass breath. Usually grow up to become batu smokers.

2.Breakers - This is a new breed f flips, which emerged after the movie "you got served" came out. Think theyre cool because they can breakdance. Try to act punk rock, by using words like emo, and wearing eye liner, and gelling their hair into mohawks and spikes. This breed will respond to threats like "what bitch like scrap?" with words like "nah we go battle," they will not fight because they are faggot ass mother fuckers. Usually grow up to become a nobody, they do not go to college cause theyre stupid, they think breaking will get them somewhere. Can be seen typically working at your local Mcdonnalds
