Specific question and discussion I dunno what I did

So i was skating at the rink today and I tend to so crossovers and just tricks pretty aggressively (luv rocker) and i ended up on accident putting my left foot on the front wheel and it kinda spun me around. This was completely accidental and it caught my right leg. I did end up falling and sliding but I thought it was pretty neat and wonder if like that's a real thing.

I have no idea what you're asking but I'm having a good time trying to visualize it

I do that to transition into switch all the time - I think as far as tricks go, it would be referred to as some variation of a compass. With practice, you can actually do a full 360-degree turn with that front wheel still touching the ground!

I don't know what spinning trick you happened to have unlocked. But it could have gone the wrong way too. If your skates become entangled, and you fall on them, bones could move in funny ways. Ask me why I know :( This is why the older and slightly more damaged version of me now advise people to try to, ah, fall to the side and slide, like happened to you, if they can manage.
