Awesome dude 🤙🏼 you're still young, you got a lot of skating ahead of you if you keep it up. I am 20 and I am super close to landing my first hardflip now and I hope to continue skating into my 40s.
Yea same dude just two days ago I accidentally almost did a hard flip and I’m already taking it down stuff 😂😂but yea the hang time and catching it was my issue
Finally somebody who says something important about the back foot on this trick, most think it's all on the flick but that "pop-follow" thing seems to make a lot of sense and may be very helpful.
I’m getting closer to throwing the trick consistently. Just having trouble with the rotation on the back foot and timing with the front but I’m getting closer. This might be the most helpful tutorial on hard flips I’ve seen so far❤️
This is what I’m talking about right here America! Real down and dirty skate trix. Smooth like peanut butter on a whole wheat sliver of toast. Thank you Benny
Considering I just landed a few front shuv, I’ll attempt HF once I’m getting more consistent. Thank you for the upload, your hard flip looking really good I must say.
Its a really fun trick for sure. Having frontside shuvits really good I think is really important for this one. Tutorial for that trick coming soon as well.
Also, how I do this trick is ; scoop the tail sort of like an impossible, keep the front toes pointed almost inline with the nose, scoop down/under while dragging the tip of my shoe straight up. I like that you especially mentioned the “ jump”. Also after the slight flick it helps me to temporarily think of my front foot as the back foot while in the air ( look how far back the front leg gets sucked back )
Nice tutorial. I struggle to even form the motion for this, my front foot either just does a kickflip or misses the board entirely. I’ve had kickflip and front shoves on lock for a while but am nowhere near a hardflip and getting frustrated! Such a cool looking trick though.
I learned fakie hardflips recently after learning fakie frontside flips. I wanna do this trick off this gap at my skatepark so I gotta learn regular hardflips. Yesterday I learned frontside flips so I think today is the day I learn hardflips. You explained it perfectly!
I’m glad it helped. I personally find normal hardflips easier but I never really do them fakie. I think I’ll do some next skate session. I’m sure you could get it over the gap if you get them hood on flat. Thanks for the comment.
@@Skiddyskates sorry for not responding earlier! Not used to bigger channels actually doing that! Tbh I wouldn’t mind something different like “how to warm up” or “what stretches and preventative measures skaters should know”. As far as tricks go tho, for me I really wanna get Fakie bigspins, nose manuals and fs/bs flips. Love your content btw bro. Really happy to see you growing🙏🏻🔥
Ayye im seeing alot of Georgia spots! Love seeing a local on youtube. Great instructional video on a infamous trick 🤘🏻 would love to catch a sesh some time homiee
Been a bit since I’ve seen this vid but it got me to hardflip so much love, thank you for these videos they help out so damn much, and again thank u :)
Nice! If you guide the board the rest of the rotation with your front foot after you catch it then you can just drop your back foot onto the board. Hope that helps.
I love your tutorials man! Even though I am even close to being ready to do some of the tricks, you have an awesome way to explain each detail. I could be wrong, but it seems like you're in the Atlanta area? Could you tell me which park you're at @1:39?
I’ve been skating on and off since around 1990, so it feels weird watching a tutorial on a trick I’ve been doing for years. I’ve taken a series of injuries in the last decade that have caused me to skate very very little, one of which resulted in a missing chunk of bone in my foot AND loss of confidence in my ability. I guess what I’m trying to say is we are never too old to learn or in my case, re-learn something.
@@edoardobertelli8874 nice! I'm working on another kickflip video actually since the one I made has so many questions. Hope you keep skating and enjoying it.
This is going to sound really stupid, but I landed ONE switch hardflip before a regular. Now, the only reason I was able to do the switch one was because it was easier (IDK why) to get my right foot out of the way during the flick. Normal hardflip doesnt click for me at all, and I am hoping that after this I can retry them.
Just one question...do you like imagine flick super late when the board is pretty much straight between your legs? Whenever I try it it just becomes like a very rocketed kickflip
Hy! So I have to say this. I don't know why but after watching countless how to hardflip videos, even that of David letho which has really good explanations imo, yours brought me much closer to a hardflip that every other video has. I now finally know how to move my feet in order to get the hardflip motion right and can now work with that and maybe land one in the next few weeks or so. Your videos and your channel in general are very underrated. Keep doing what you are doing!
@@Skiddyskates so... Yesterday I "landed" My first 4 hardflips (stationary)! 🥳 Although I landed very far nose side and (as you said) the board didn't rotate the whole way I managed to actually land it. I just changed the back foot position from the heelside part to the toeside part of the tail. Popping straight down at this position flips the board right into my front foot, which makes it easier to get the flick right! Now it's practicing time to get it clean while rolling. Thanks so much again for your videos! If it's somehow possible for me I'd like to upload a clip or so of my hardflips for you to watch them. Have a nice day! ✌
The thing is I have hardflips but I don’t got them clean like I used. Like at times it won’t rotate all the way and I have to tick tack out in order for it to be a land.
For sure I used to have that problem I got good at them doing them off of a curb. It gave me some time to get that rotation around. After that I just started popping them higher on flat so I could do the same thing. I hope this helps.
I'm having trouble with my back foot, because I don't really know how to move it once I pop, it always hits the board while it's flipping, what should I do?
This is common when you first start landing them. You really want to keep your shoulders lined up with where the bolts and where you want the board to go. This will help you guide the board the rest of the way around. At 6:15 you can see what I mean.
When I do my "hardflips" I have my front foot the opposite of what everyone else does it seems. I put my front foot with my heel planted In the middle with my front toes hanging off, when I flip it I'm kicking my front foot way out like a heelfip and the board flips under that front leg and between my legs. Idk it's weird looking
i keep trying frontside flips and hard flips and when i do the front foot kick to make it flip i shoot to board and it goes flying out, almost hit somebody once
Yea for sure, I used to have the same problem. I pull my front foot over to catch as soon as I flick then kind of help it around the rest of the way. Keeping your shoulders square with the bolts helps a lot too.

Are you in GA? I recognize a lot of these spots and skaters.
@@kenrocker7427 I am. What’s your favorite park in GA?
@@Skiddyskates McKoy - mainly bc it’s never crowded. Most other parks are a scooter fest.
JESUS LOVES YOU SO MUCH MORE THEN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE
Landed hard flip yesterday and I am 35 years old. Thanks for the video!
Awesome dude 🤙🏼 you're still young, you got a lot of skating ahead of you if you keep it up. I am 20 and I am super close to landing my first hardflip now and I hope to continue skating into my 40s.
That’s right bro I still needa learn that trick
Fucking legend. I'm getting back into skating after 20years....44 now. I've never landed a hardflip. So scared haha....but going to fucking do it!
The moment you described the flick and how the foot lifts up then out it literally instantly clicked in my head thanks brodie
!!! Awesome! That is what helped me too. I'm glad I could pass it on.
Yea same dude just two days ago I accidentally almost did a hard flip and I’m already taking it down stuff 😂😂but yea the hang time and catching it was my issue
Finally you did a tutorial on how to hard flip. Your tutorials are the best
I really appreciate the support! I hope it was worth the wait haha. I try to take my time with them so they are as helpful as possible.
36 years old, trying to get back into it. was never really good, but you almost got me landing it. Gonna keep at it. thanks man
I think this is the tutorial that’s gonna finally help me land it😤. Also the hardflips you did were easily the best, super stylish.
I hope you do get it. Let me know when you do. I appreciate the kind words too!
@@Skiddyskates update, landed my first one today, thanks so much for the tutorial 🙌🏿

waiting for the treyflip tutorial bro!! keep it up
I've been filming for that one for a while. A lot I want to go over in that video for sure. Thanks for the support!
The history behind the trick was amazing best hardflip tutorial
I watched 3 tutorials (yours was the best) and it took me 2 days to land my first 4 hardflips :,) btw i skate since last year
Really impressive! You started skating last year? That is pretty incredible
This is the best hardflip tutorial by far. I had alot of trouble catching the board before this.
Thanks for the kind words. Are you getting them now?
I catch them sometimes when I get the right flick to rotate the board. going on a kicker has been helping me out for hang time
This tutorial is constructed so beautifully
I really appreciate that. I spent a few months on it. ❤
best tutorial I've seen so far. years of battle.
Thank you for the kind words. I’ve always really loved this trick but it took a while for me to learn. Hoping this video is helping people.
This is what I’m talking about right here America! Real down and dirty skate trix. Smooth like peanut butter on a whole wheat sliver of toast. Thank you Benny
My man Carson!
I don't even want to learn hardflips, they are way beyond my ability, but I love to look at them. They're so cool!
haha You will get there if you stick with it. But I agree, I love watching other people do hardflips too.
Great tutorial, I love how in depth it goes. Good idea starting with a warmup and gaining some confidence before trying a new trick.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad the video has helped. Did it help you learn them?
you explained a lot of things other people don’t explain in a trick thank hou

@@Skiddyskates yes please the moment I saw your hf I know you got your front shuv down so good, so please do share :)
Helped me a ton to get the flick down dude
Nice! I'm really glad it helped you. Did you land some hardflips?
Absolutely. Buttery. Your hardflips are on point dude. And as always, very well put together tutorial. Keep it up!
Thanks for your support! I'm really glad the videos are helping people.
That is a real hardflip...none of that pressure flip crap or scared pants flip off the side .
Also, how I do this trick is ; scoop the tail sort of like an impossible, keep the front toes pointed almost inline with the nose, scoop down/under while dragging the tip of my shoe straight up.

haven't done it yet, having trouble with the rotation but I feel this will help a lot!!

Just one question...do you like imagine flick super late when the board is pretty much straight between your legs? Whenever I try it it just becomes like a very rocketed kickflip
Flick it less. Since the board is almost upside down it is almost like a half flick. Let me know if that helps.
@@Skiddyskates Thanks man...that definitely helped. I'll try it asap!

10/10 🤘🏼😤
Thanks for the kind words and support. I hope the video helps you
landed my first hardflip because this tutorial
🔥🔥🔥 glad it helped you
i keep landing in a backside shifty how do i fix that
This is common when you first start landing them. You really want to keep your shoulders lined up with where the bolts and where you want the board to go. This will help you guide the board the rest of the way around. At 6:15 you can see what I mean.
what shoes are those?
Quality content ! Can't wait for more advance tricks (inward heels, lazer flip, bigspins ...)
Thanks for the kind words. I'm looking forward to doing those tricks.
please do backside heel flip please mr im really struggle
oh thats a good one
Help me I keep turning my body into 180 when im trying how to hard flip
I know. I don't understand how to keep my body straight
Its all about the shoulders. I actually only think about my shoulders when i'm about to do a hardflip or I will do the same thing.
When I do my "hardflips" I have my front foot the opposite of what everyone else does it seems. I put my front foot with my heel planted In the middle with my front toes hanging off, when I flip it I'm kicking my front foot way out like a heelfip and the board flips under that front leg and between my legs.

you‘re dreads are sick
Haha thanks they are getting really heavy.
What was tust huge hat
explained this better than braille
Nice! I'm glad it helped you. Were you able to land one?
i keep trying frontside flips and hard flips and when i do the front foot kick to make it flip i shoot to board and it goes flying out, almost hit somebody once
Try moving your front foot further towards the edge of the board, so then it's easier to get your foot off the board.
You might be flicking too early. Try making sure it goes vertical before flicking it.
I can form hard flips pretty well most of them stay right under me I just have a hard time catching them hopefully this helps
Yea for sure, I used to have the same problem. I pull my front foot over to catch as soon as I flick then kind of help it around the rest of the way. Keeping your shoulders square with the bolts helps a lot too.
Thanks man
Dude my back foot gets lost its the hardest part for me
I cant pop it right i keep doing a more variel kickflip motion
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the support as always bro.
was trying do a pop shuvit and almost did a hardflip :c
I love it when that happens! I've learned a few tricks because they accidentally happened.
The throwing part works well but jumping with both feet is extremely difficult with this one somehow 😅
good
