Donkey Kick

Level 3AdvancedJumps (flat)

About this trick

The donkey kick is a jump where the back leg extends sharply backward, pushing the tail of the board out and up — like a donkey's back kick. It creates a dramatic, angular board position in the air and is one of the most visually striking basic freestyle jump moves. Requires good core strength and body awareness.

Key tips

  1. 1

    Initiate the kick from peak jump height — don't kick on the way up or you'll lose height

  2. 2

    The front leg provides the counter-movement — as the back leg extends, the front leg stays compact

  3. 3

    Keep the wing stable overhead during the kick — don't let it move as your body position changes

  4. 4

    Bring the back leg back before landing — arriving with the leg extended crashes you immediately
