Definition: A kickturn is where you balance on your rear wheels, and spin your body around. Kickturns can go either direction (frontside or backside), and be at any degree (90, 180, 360 for a full spin all the way around).
Skaters really need to learn to kickturn if you want to be serious about skating. It's a great way to turn, and necessary if you want to ride on ramps (unless you just want to ride back down EVERY ramp fakie...).
Also Known As: can be combined with degrees (180, 360) and with frontside or backside to describe the direction the skater turned.
Examples:
"Master Chief rode up the ramp, kickturned, and rode back down. It was amazing. Everyone wept at the sight."
