How many tries would it take you to do a hardflip?

[Paperclip20]

It's gonna look like shit but I can flail one under 10 tires.

[radcunt]

I still don’t believe they exist

[Yonnycage]

Used to have em on lock regular and fakie, my proudest skate moment was one of my buddies going “Okay Herman” after doing one off a curb leaving the spot.

I still dream of how good a switch one would feel

Probably first try. Definitely within 3 tries.

Its not pretty but it is there

This.
Switch on the other hand, fucking never. My white whale. I’ve wanted switch hardflip for so long and I think I need to resign myself to the fact that it’s just not going to happen.

[TheDraught]

What's the alt-code for the infinity sign?

[scab]

At least 6, maybe 12.

[goodatmeth]

I only need half a try

[bartlaser]

Usually within the first few tries.  Doing them on a steep bank to fakie feels super fun.

However, can I do a normal ass heelflip? fuhgetaboutit.  I consider that my "hard" flip.

[BurgerCop]

On a good day, maybe first try.
On a bad day I might not land a single one.
So anywhere from 1 to 300 tries depending on if they're working that day...

im not fuckin with them. i got heels and wallies to do.

[manysnakes]

I "landed" one with a tail stomp on Sunday. Second and third tries, I couldn't even get the board to come around. Gave up after that.

[Mongo Lloyd]

My question for you other hardflippers is do any of you have hardflips that stayed Herman style and didn’t evolve into illusion flips?

I've never once done an illusion flip and don't think I could do one if I tried. we all know those are just fucked up frontside shove its.

[Uncle Flea]

I can't do it.

I can flip um but I cannot get both feet on. Ive probably landed one good one my whole life.

Fakie 1/20 or nollie 1/50 maybe. Switch idk. I've barely tried as an oldie.

If I practiced fakie ones more often I could bring it on in for go to status but I never think about hard flips.

Even frontside flips are hard for me these days.    At some point I became the opposite of what I started as.
I now favor backside rotation over fs

[fulltechnicalskizzy]

i was teenager in the mid 2000s i can hardflip better than i can ollie

[Allen.]

All

I'm like that with pressure flips and impossibles. When I've taken a long break from skating those are the two tricks I can lose

Someone should invent the easyflip. That might be a trick I could do.

There was a guy in my town who had 360 inward heels on lock and he called them easy flips. It was pressurey but for whatever reason it worked for him, I could never replicate it.

I’d have to go back in time to land a hardflip…

Yeah if someone renamed pressure flips EZ flips I wouldn’t take issue with that. It makes sense too since pressure flips were the only flip trip I ever had on lock.

[vicious cycle]

The only time I ever thought about trying one was in a game of skate. But I chickened out and took the letter.

[EdLawndale]

Doing them on a steep bank to fakie feels super fun.

For some reason, this makes them a lot easier (as opposed to flatground)

[frontsideNECKTIE]

never understood how to do those types of flips (hard, inward, nollie/switch stance)

landed 2 or 3 hardflips in the garage 10+ years ago, but i 100% had no idea wtf i was actually doing, which is still true

You kind of highlighted the best way to learn flip tricks (on banks/off curbs).

We should pitch “Flip it Like Malto" to the studios in Hollywood. The feel-good skate quasi biopic of the year.

[Hyliannightmare]

Probably months maybe years

[fineslime]

I did a fs bigflip on a hip in 2009. Not a hardflip 180. It was a legit fs bigspin hardflip. I had the gif on my myspace and everything.

Those were the days.

[cant stop]

I might get one out of 25

That’s the right answer. I get no pop, so mines are like a pressure hardflip. It’s awful.

[fineslime]

Awww
You old dudes that locked up pressure flips picked the wrong path. lol. Chris Fissel was nice. He like Jesus too.
He skate atiba slow tho. One more push that you need to do to break that.

the worst skate burn I've ever heard. if my lady told me I fuck how atiba skates I'd chop my dick off.

[Sangriawaterfall]

1 if my board is half razor tailed. I have the worst kickflip in the world
