SKATE HACKS: Hardflips Made Easy

#skateboarding #braillearmy

Going over the essence of what makes a hardflip as difficult as it is, and the steps you can take to make the learning process easier.

It's so satisfying when you catch the board before landing.

I used to think my hard flips were clean and high..however now with YouTube I notice it was a pressure flip....time to practice this and get it right...btw great channel and thanks to your hacks I was able to land a 360 flip after couple of days of practice after being out of skateboarding for over 12 years....

I watched this video yesterday while it was raining out and couldnt wait til today to come out and do this trick. I'm an intermediate to advanced skater and this trick was always a weird one. I never thought to pull my front leg back then flick. Now I can do hardflips and I'm consistent with them. I always had a semi flip flick to mine. Thanks for the tip! I'm also not great at nosemanuals so I'm going to go find some flatter ground and try balancing to the side as well.

Your hardflips are so nice. Some people try to keep them flat... I’ve always thought they look better vertical.

Peace.

I don't think I've progressed enough to learn hardflips yet but came to drop a like

I find one thing that helps immensely is keeping your shoulders closed, don't open up like a fs flip.

I’ve tried this damn trick forever this was really helpful thank you

I learned the harflip in the past but totally lost it over the decades. This is a very well described video on the trick.

I was never able to learn this trick when I was younger. I’m getting back at skating and hopefully I can work my way up again

[catzpjs]

We back big spin tutorials!!!! Your the man dude I watch these every day. Really could use your expertise.

[justvoice]

Thanks bro it’s nice to get slow and relaxed to do these tricks especially this one. Your teaching is on point.

Crazy to me that you said it’s all in the front foot, back in the day when I had hard flips on lock, I felt like it was all in the back foot mostly. I got back into skating couple months ago & I’m trying to relearn them now. Yours looks way nicer than mine ever did too. Definitely gonna give this way a try. Also always but my top foot closer to the edge & a little bit lower than the middle of the board(also back then we were skating insanely small boards, a 7.75 was crazy big)

Hey men love your skate vids, been watching for like 3 years

[jaanusjoller]

Very nice hardflips you have indeed! (y)
Just wanna add to all the niceness in the video - what I feel/see in this trick, maybe helps someone out :)
For me the focus is on the back foot, the front one just kinda does what's needed automatically.
I think of shifting my weight a bit towards my backside or over the heels so I could scoop really hard down and forward (towards my toes). The hardest part is to force the legs to tuck under the chin and let the board spin until it slaps you on the soles of the feet :) This trick needs a lot more strength than you'd think at first. Also a lot of people say it's easier the closer together the feet are.
I'm gonna give this method a try for sure, seems a lot more effortless than what i'm doing :P Keep it up!

Thank you so much, I’ve learned so much from you man!

[fakieflipfromhell]

you gotta tuck your knees on this trick ! I just learned these recently what helped me is you gotta imagine jumping vertically over the board. Look at his knees kickflip vs hardflip (4:05)

[veynuh]

I try to think of it as a frontside flip, without moving my shoulders

[kus]

you explained the first half of the trick... the bit i have most problems with is getting my back foot especially back on it.
