dude no lie if you have kickys hardflips are not necessarily as out of reach as you might think. i can't even flip varials anymore. the key is to put your front foot really far back, lot almost half way. almost key word. edge in to go inside out, flatten out, ollie hard at the very top - make sure you're at the top so you don't try to flip it early. then just do a big front shuv and pull your foot off. stay over your board with your weight even. definitly try a few if you can kickflip.

NaRC-P rider, Do you using your big toe or the same little toes as you would for a varial to flip the board? I'm partial.

NaRC-P rider, Does the feet close together advice work for most FS shuv based tricks?

shane, hmmm i don't really know. i guess either haha. probably more your big toe because you kind of like grab it with your foot and flip it, not really like a flick or anything, unlike the varial.

Jama, well on something like a frontside flip i just set my front foot turned a little more, with my back foot a little more towards the toe edge. that way you can turn the board frontside with your back foot, but can flip it with your front foot cuz it's turned more, so it flips easier. but i set my front foot super far forward on kickflips, like i'm gonna do a shove or something. i just pull it sideways a little and on my heel edge more. idk am i making sense? haha
