Backside kickflip and hardflip help.

[loganownzj00]

OK whenever I do a backside flip I land 90 degrees with my backfoot only on the board. Whenever I do a hardflip it doesn't even do the FS shove nor does it go "vertical". Most of the time It just makes me do a really fast kickflip. I have BS 180's and kickflips down. I also have FS shoves down. Thanks in advance.

Your not really for hardflips. Master bs flips first. Just make sure you get the whole rotation. Remember to catch the board on bs flips.

I just learned hardflips today ... sort of.... not every time but ya.. the trick is to put your foot more in the middle of the board with the toes pointing diagnolly.

1. Pop
2. Flick in a motion hard to explain(youll get it naturally)
3. Stick it roll away.

With hardflips, flick your foot more off the side of the board, closer to the middle. My foot sorta starts to go behind me in a way. Just experiment, jump high and back too.

Oh, i cant do backside flips but i can hardflip, so MattC, its all personal preferance.

No offence intended.

Damn, hardflips before bs flips. I guess it is preferance. If you got hardflips learn bs flips they're much easier.

Hardflips can be done quite a few ways. I prefer the almost straight up way.

Make sure you jump pretty high when you ollie for a hard flip. You gotta let the board flip between your legs witch might be kinda hard to force your self to do at first. Try thinking of it as doing the begining of a frontside flip, then turning your body back to where you started.

i find hardflips easier after i learned a new way of fs flipping, just put your backfoot in the concave by the tail, and scoop like a fs flip, just dont do the 180 with the body, and in the end youll end up with hardflips the herman way, somehow tweaked and really cool.

^^ Thats how i got em, my frontside flips are so consistant now, better than my kickflips so i just modified it and ended up with hardflips.
