Thanks you guys, everybody loves good comments Very Happy

. As for a "technique" i don't really think i have one, i was justhaving a good day, so i decided to try a hardflip, got real close, then landed it, but i guess i had my back foot pretty far on the toe edge, and my front foot hanging off the board less that i would for a kickflip... usually.

Hope that helped.

Iamjesse, I guess you didn't watch the video Laughing

Slapdown, I have been working on fs flips and I'm thinking that doing hard flips would make it a step easier. Do you have any pointers on the hard flip?

colclough999, yeah, i can. I landed the hugest one over a box at the skatepark today, i swear that beast must have been 5 feet high. I tried to Hardflip it, and got real close, but never got it Sad

how do you execute(sp?) a hardflip???

Slapdown · Kickflip Joined: 20 Apr 2005 Posts: 4240 City: Austin

ATXwakesk8r, to execute the hard flip, the rider must first be at one with the hamburger, then he/she must place his/her front foot as if for an ollie, but at a 23 degree angle, and his/her back foot hanging approximately 1/2 - 1 inch off of the toeside edge of his/her skateboard. Next we will discuss popping and flipping the skateboard. The rider must push his/her back foot forward and downwards thus, popping the skateboard and causing it to turn a f/s pop shove it. Just as he/she pops the skateboard he/she must move his/her front foot behind him/her and slightly downward. Then, once airborne, the rider must mive slightly sideways, allowing the skateboard to move in between ones legs. Afterwards, the rider must move back and proceed to catch the skateboard and land upon it and ride away.
