I literally learned how to hard flip in a dream. I had been practicing but couldn't stick it. In the dream I was practicing but able to sorta slow down and feel how I have to move my legs in order to basically jump high enough. Woke up tried it a few times and landed my first hard flip. Getting enough air time was key for me. edit: damn its cool that so many people have experienced this! keep dreamin yall!
Dude!! I learned how to hardflip in a dream to hahaha! I was 14, my dad was working shift work and I woke up at roughly 3 am and started doing them in my bedroom until I figured them out!
Seeing this skatepark against that backdrop and hearing hardflip called a basic trick really shows me how much time has passed since i started. Thanks for the video
never could do that one without a 180 body spin. it has been 20 years since my aktiv time but that feeling seeing someoneonailing a trick is still there. also the one where you almost get it. man i love this sport!
My one tip for hardflips (and frontside flips if you do them that way), is to make sure you throw your leading shoulder out otherwise the board gets behind you
hardest part is trusting the board to do its thing. i was learning frontside flips and one time i did it without turning and it did a hardflip. and bringing the popping leg up high to get above the board its such a cool trick and very satisfying landing.
Bro the strug is real, I’ve been skating on and off for 10+yrs and cannot hard flip. Just got sk in my last game of skate before my opponent broke his board on a nasty mean hardflip stomp or I would’ve lost for sure.
Wow, this is the video that got me to land my first hardflip. I'm also not a natural hardflipper, so I needed to see your back foot action to finally get it. When I'd watch pros do them, it seemed like they were popping straight down - they sort of hide the scoop through shear athleticism. Took 10 years, but I finally landed it this morning. Seriously, hardflips and laser flips were the two flatground trick that always eluded me.
25ish years skating and I *just* learned dolphin flips a couple of weeks ago, now feeling like I really need to get hardflips and am super glad you have this video out 😅 going to go out front and try some right now lol Thanks for always having that great quality content ;P
Just tell people you don't need hardflips. You can do an Ollie late nollie hardflip. 🤣 That's what I called dolphins when I had em on lock back in the day.
@@booth403did you ever learn them? I’m having trouble for months I think I saw this comment months ago when I was watching this for advice lol I actually learned dolphins and nollie dolphins recently too
@Skankhunt-hl9zj still haven't learned them 😅 my process recently has been to go back to the basics in the hopes that something clicks. I now have all 8 shuvs, switch is still sketchy but doable, all the kickflips and am working on switch and nollie heels. Once I get the heels I'm going back to all the hardflip, varial and inward variants. I think this is the best way, since having complete control over the flick and scoop *should* make it easier to understand the nuances of the hard tricks. That said, good luck my dude!
6:28 Great example of two very different executions. Both are style! Love the other guy's little front foot flick at the end. Great tut as always Jonny!
Vorab, ich liebe deine Videos und deine Person. Ich habe selten eine so charismatische Persönlichkeit hier erleben dürfen, danke dafür. Bitte mach das weiter und bleib wie du bist, du gibst unglaublich viel an Inspirationen weiter. Danke !
i landed my first today after around an hour trying. never done them before. they are hella hard, i figured out that i need to let i rocket a bit then get the spin. to be honest, its the landing thats the worst. it feels like a body varial.
@@Wonkabonka whenever I learn a new trick I mess up on the landing but I can't really see the hard flip motion so I gotta be ready to slip out on the tail 😐 commitment first tho 🔥
This trick is at the top of my “I need to learn these tricks” list. I can barely kickflip, but it’s the drive… it’s the passion… it’s the love for what you believe in…. skateboarding or not. life. But yeah that hardflip though…
Nice trick tip! The side ways flick was something I never considered! Def helped get there! Was always kicking diagonal instead of straight out side ways!
Juuust figured them out, but haven't landed it yet, but I committed to it for the first time today. And it feels like committing is a big part of this trick.
I can explain the scoop, when you do the shuv motion instead of going back for a shuv or forward for a front shuv you do the same motion but into your nose straight forward, hope that helps people
I literally learned hardflips like 3 days ago and it was because I was kicking like a normal kick flip but once I realized I needed to kick more to the side and boom they just clicked. Learned hard flip and fs in like 2 days from each other
somebody left an old deck at the park and I was trying to see if pressure flips are possible at all, couldn't get them to work, tried hardflips and 'landed' my first, on a carpet board at least :) interesting that you compare the technique to pressure flips too!
The decks we use today(designed by Rodney Mullen ) are really insane actually. It's not just a flat peice of wood for a reason. If you can learne all the pressure points of the board you can do any trick... With practice of course.
I’ve been skating for 23 years and have never tried to learn this. But I’m also not a very technical skater. Still trying to 360 flip (tre-flip for the youngsters).
i learned trey flip a few days after i watched dale deckers old tutorial on youtube more specifically when he talked about the big toe is when it clicked for me
Back in early 90s in small town with handful of skaters and no internet, noone could figure out how this was done. Damn, if only the internet and these sorts of things existed back then we would progressed so much faster. It's no wonder newer kids coming up are gnarly so fast, they see what's possible first-hand and internalize it and have people to help them.
Thanks man, your'e awesome! I was trying hardflips and inward heelflips lately so it's great that video. Can you make a dolphin flip tutorial?you have sick dolphin flips and your trick tips are some of the best out there. Keep up with the great videos!!
i love hardflip reverts so i gotta learn hardflips. yesterday it felt like my leg is ripping off my body and i can see ur not moving your front leg that much. funny enough a few years back i landed my first hardflip without the board having a griptape.
Holy shit!!! About half an hour trying and i landed bolts two times!! I’m so stoked, this tutorial is great!! Totally underestimated how important the backfoot placement is, makes a huge difference!
Hardest thing to do this trick is to just be committed to landing it. Yes it’s scary cause the board goes up and potentially can anal you but don’t be afraid. Get the basics and once you’re confident, you got this! 🙌🏼
You should definitely post videos of you jamming on your guitar! I saw a vid from McNug when you visited the guys at Braille and went to Lake Cunningham. You and Carlos were jammin!!!
Hey Jonny, I used to land a frontside flip that was pretty much a hardflip with a body varial. I'd just kinda wedge my toe into the crook where the nose starts to bend up when the board was near enough vertical. The board would just wrap around my foot to level off for a perfect catch. Could never do it as just a hardflip though.
ive been following you for a long time and learn alot from your vids. but now!! I cant wait to see you kick some a.. in BATB12 mannnnnnn. i cant believe how some people can even doubt you. GOAT
Killing my hard flip now that I have watched this. I decided to also do the trick in my dream-like state ; like meditation🧘♀️ 💭, just without the incense or chanting… anyhow, thx for the help!
God i miss doing hardflips. Fractured my front foot couple months ago when rolled my ankle real bad now im back on the board and only can do impossibles, pressure flips and nollie/switch tricks
I'm 42. When I was a kid my parents weirdly let me ride motorcycles (since I was ten) but not have a skateboard ("bad-crowd" argument, which they later recognized was flawed). So I only was able to try out tricks when someone was around and let me try, which wasn't that often. But for some reason the hardflip was intuitive to me; I think I tried and screwed up a kickflip and it just clicked. I never got a skateboard, but when my six-year-old asked for one for her birthday she obviously got one (things like this skip a generation; my kids will never have motorcycles). Thirty years later I can still nail it fairly consistently (but not much else!), something even my parents think is rad.
Hmmm like that I couldn't do a hard flip with the foot position. I stand completely different Conveyor foot exactly the same as kick flip position (or frontside flip). Back foot as with a backside pop shovit. Then puch the rear foot like with a frontside shovit and flip slightly. And gumming up and opening your legs .. Man does the hard flip with your back foot! The flip is so much easier than in the foot position where Mr. Skate Professor Geiger points! Standing safely is so much more difficult. I love hardflip my lovely trick Greetings from switzerland!
I love watching your content on the weekends but the middle of a Tuesday is pretty nice too. You make awesome videos man even though I'll probably never do a hardflip lol hope you win batb 12
I am going tommorow to skate and land this trick, I tried to learn it so many times maybe this time I will figure it out how to do it corectly ( if weather will not say: not this time xD ) Thank you Johny for your point of view about this trick, I know more right now and I will do it!... I hope so:)
Any chance you could post (or pin) a tutorial on how to front shove properly? Mine look like the way you used to do them, and I haven’t seen any tutorial on how to do them well start to finish? Thanks for all you content Jonny!
The way I explain scoop to people is if you do your shuv before the trick pops, you wheels will drag the board behind your back or ahead of you, task 1, get your wheels off the ground, task 2, spin
There's no chance you have to be spying on me I've been trying to learn nightmare flips and you posted that video and now you post a video about hard flips which I was just trying to learn
Funny thing about hardflips, I've been skating for about a year or 2 (dont really keep track of time sadly but ik its around the 2 year mark) and I landed a hard flip by accident before i could kick flip or heel flip now im kinda getting better at them full rotation comes when it feels like it
