Kick the moon

A Kick The Moon is a tricking trick (also used in free running) which is a slanted gainer flash. There is often confusion about what the difference is between a gainer flash and a kick the moon, but it is generally accepted to interchange the two names. However, the official difference between to two is a gainer flash is a flash kick from a j-step set up, and a kick the moon is with the kick aimed over the shoulder.

It is a prerequisite to the cork.

History

Not to be confused with a moon kick, a kick the moon was made famous by Dean Alexandrou, when he performed a moon kick without the hook.
