Hardflip


As performed by Tony Hawk & Eric Koston
1. This is a pretty hard trick (hence the name) to learn because it is not that intuitive to learn.
2. Front foot placement is important: put it at a 45~55 degree angle between the center of the deck and the heel edge at the middle length.
3. You pop the board a bit like a frontside pop shove-it (so you have to be comfortable with those), but flip it like a frontside kickflip (the board is doing a 180 and flip at the same time).
4. Make room for the board to flip by getting your feet out of the way.
5. Try to catch the board with your front foot and stomp it down with both feet.
6. Roll Away. This trick always looks cool and definitely shows that you are a good skater.
