[edit] Kick the Moon
A kick the moon is a move performed in tricking. The move consists of the tricker performing a 90 degree step (also known as a J-step) and then performing a backflip with a flash kick taken off one foot. This move originated in capoeira as shown by the direct translation from the Portuguese 'chuta na lua' it is also known by another name - folha secca (Brazilian "dry leaf").
