A hardflip is when your board rotates 180 degrees like a frontside pop shove-it, but flips like a kickflip. It might help to think of it as a frontside kickflip shove-it. |
Compress for some pop and set your feet. |
It seems like it helps to keep your shoulders square with the board and ollie higher for this trick. |
You pop the board a bit like a frontside pop shove-it, but flip it like a frontside kickflip. This is tricky, but keep trying. |
Now you have to get your feet out of the way so the board will flip freely. |
Put your feet in the catch position. See how the extra pop helps? |
Flatten out and straighten the board, then extend your legs. |
Center yourself. |
Roll away. |
