kickover

Upset with foot

A kickover is an engine that turns over and starts, or the act of starting it: Give it a few pumps and it should kick over.

In gymnastics and cheerleading, a kickover is a move where you kick your legs over your body from a bridge position, landing on your feet.

The term can also describe knocking something over with a kick or foot.
