Yes, he has jumped off a diving board but doing a back flip!
A rail flip is when you pop the board onto its side. Then you flip the board back normal. Look up Rodney Mullins on youtube. Youll see it about a thousand times.

He uses a flip board
double back flip
Put your back foot in a pop shuv-it stance and your frontfoot in a kickflip stance. then pop you board up and scoop your back foot. then catch the board brfore iot turns twice, and land.

Hard flipping in skateboarding is done by placing both feet on a moving board. Your front foot skids off the side of the board. At the same time as skidding your front foot, your back foot pushes on the back of the board. You must also jump when doing this. This motion causes the skate board to lift off the ground, and in theory, it should flip and drop down right side up so you can continue on the skate board.
you flip idiot
it will back flip x10000000
the board doesn't follow you, you follow the board.
make sure your foot wait are equal if you put your toes out on front foot then you put your heel out on back foot same for putting your front foot in.
