[ The flip's a nice touch and it does catch him a little off-guard, but then he's laughing, because that's a move he totally would have pulled and that just makes everything more fun.
Already anticipating the blow from behind, he drops instead to the ground, balanced on his hands as he kicks hard with his feet, swinging them in a low blow aimed at the guy's knees as he pivots on his palms. It's a move he often uses to launch himself back onto his skateboard, but for the moment it will do for this. It certainly shows he's nimble enough to deal with an attack coming from most directions, even if it is somewhat unexpected. ]
