A "bubble" is a pressure flip and kickback variation, it is a 3/8 heelside pressure flip late back foot fs varial with a 3/8 underflip, it can also be described as a pressure back foot hospital flip, or a varial kickback. It's quite an easy trick.
To do them you can try this:
-the back foot can be between the middle and the back truck, ready to do a 3/8 heelside pressure flip by pressing the heelside edge of the board, the front foot can be anywhere, for example on the front bolts.
-jump and release the pressure by removing the front foot, it will make the board do the 3/8 heelside pressure flip, let your back foot toes in contact with the griptape.
-lift your backfoot to do a kind of back foot hospital flip motion (hospital flip: casper flip done with only the foot which was under the board)
-land.

Tip:
-I do them by applying pressure with the external edge of my back foot, it works fine for me but it's not necessary, it's just a tip which may increase the consistency.
Variations:
-You can do them on the front foot, if you do it backside it's a nollie bubble, if you do it frontside it's a front foot bubble.
-It is possible to add an extra flip (and even two) to transform the bubble in a bubble flip
-if you are good with bubbles you can probably learn nollie hospital flips and switch hospital flips easily.
-there is also a ollie version of the bubble, called "ollie bubble" which is a kind of 1/2 frontside impossible, do it with a bigspin and you get a plasma spin.
-Bubble can also be done backside by pressing on the toe side, done with a frontside body varial you get a zombie spin.
