a zombie flip is a zombie spin variation, it's the same trick with an extra flip during the second part, making it a 3/8 toe side pressue flip frontside body varial late backside varial 11/8 underflip, and this time it is as hard as it sounds. In fact a zombie flip is to a zombie spin what a bubble flip is to a bubble.
I suggest to learn the zombie spin and the bubble flip first.

Feet placement:
-it's the zombie spin feet placement, the back foot may be a bit more on the toeside (pic).
how to do it:
1/ start like you would for a zombie spin with a toe side 3/8 pressre flip fs body varial, and let the top of your back foot toes in contact with the griptape.
2/ raise your back foot like you would for a zombie spin but flick the board to induce the extra flip, try to make the board spin/flip backside/vertical.
3/ let the board spin and flip then land fakie.
critical part of the trick
Tips:
-think about a bubble flip done by applying pressure on the toe side, in the zombie flip the body varial helps alot, you have to do it as soon as you start the trick.
-try many flicking directions until you find one that do the job, you should feel the board in strong contact with your back foot toes when you flick.
-this all about precision, this trick may require some dedication.
Variations:
-it can be done with a 360 board spin, it's very hard to on flat but it can be done on a slope or a bank.
