I've seen a lot of videos where someone will be facing forward (or slightly forward; and also their feet won't be completely planted sideways) when taking off into a side flip. And it looks like they slightly twist into the sideways rotation. I usually see this more often when an individual starts off the move with a run-up.

Is it still considered a normal side flip? Because I was thinking that the body and feet need to be completely positioned sideways when taking off.
