Everyone can hardflip. I've taken every piece of advice and I'm still clueless. The closest I've gotten recently is 360 hardflip landing with one foot. I was getting close last year, but now, oh god it's horrible.

front crooked. how people do it, is beyond me!
Try just getting into it on the bottom stair of something. Then before you try grinding warm up with front nose slides. For me, they're super easy, like I'm more comfortable with front crook than 50-50s.

Bs 50-50's I have no idea why
FS Flips, landed a few that felt really nice, but I can never seem to get them consistent and even trying to bail them looks shitty now.

first: get the feel for them by learning to pop from the the front of the ledge/curb into a back 5050
next up: ollie and aim with the back truck first.
good luck

i can do them but i fuck up a lot of frontside 180s. its embarrassing. I dont claim to be great but in a game of skate i'll do some tech wizardry flip flop fangdoodle flip trick but then fuck up a frontside 180. like i said embarrassing.
Thank God I'm not the only one! I'll 3 flip a 10 stair before I frontside 180 a 3 set.

kickflips, have never been confident with them but can do tricks that involve kickflips very easily.

Ollies.
WAIT... Let me elaborate.
I can do ollies, it's just.... See, I learned how to ollie riding super duper tight trucks back in the day. I had them down pretty good. I remember even ollieing over a cone one time that was just a little bit under waist high (which was the highest thing I have ever ollied even to this day).
But eventually, as I kept skating through the years, my trucks got looser and looser, and as they got looser I had to kinda relearn almost all of my tricks on looser trucks, just because it was so different from riding super tight. I pretty much have all of my tricks down now on looser trucks and im pretty much too used to doing all of my tricks on looser trucks now, but one trick that continues to suffer from my change in riding looser is ollies. I can still do them, but they're so low and dragged out feeling now, as opposed to before when I used to be able to float them. The highest I can ollie right now would be about knee high, and even then I have to work for them to get them that high. If its anything over knee high I start having trouble making it over the obstacle. I can do some pretty damn high kickflips and front shoves, but for some reason I cannot pop high ollies. When I step on my friends board who has super tight trucks I can still do some super high ones, but when im back on my board they suffer again.
]
aye yo im sure i rock my trucks about as loose as you and my ollies are higher then most of my tight truck rockin friends. try to get them fairly vertical and jump forward off your back foot and remember to lift that back leg as high as the front one. i also find that really thinking about and observing every motion my body is doing helps to make my ollies much more dope!!!another thing i have noticed is that the amount of pressure on your feet before the Ollie can change the outcome. but really try to breakdown every movement and dynamic involved and im sure your ollie will take you to new heights in no time! ::)lookin ass.....

I dont know if it helps but try doing them as fast and hard as possible. Dont stay with bended knees too long and when you pop, bone the board forward a little bit to level your ollie out. Good luck, hope this will help, a solid ollie is like chess, easy to learn, hard to master.
