KGB is a heelside backroll with a backside 360 handle pass. It is a handle-pass invert built from backroll control, backside rotation, and a close loaded handle path.

Use the backroll lift first, then let the backside rotation continue around the handle. Keep the pass close to the body; if the handle drifts away, the line will pull the trick off axis.

Prerequisites: backroll, roll-to-blind style axis control, backside handle passes, and reliable blind or wrapped landings.
