Flatground fun - Trying to get those hardflips. 3/4 of one outta 50 tries aint bad right?

@sbmfj you were asking for tips on how to clean up your varial heelflips but honestly, from this instance it's hard to tell where you might even need them - you look like you've completely figured them out, that one looked perfect. I think I can see why you're struggling with the hardflips though, especially because we form them the same but your shoulders are completely parallel to the board throughout the entire trick, when there's no way I could do them easily like that myself (even though that's probably what I was doing too when first learning them until I worked it out). Facing the direction I'm heading with open shoulders really helps me get the right pop and flick action with far less effort because then they stop hindering your motion; insisting on remaining parallel to the board on that trick, similarly to how one does it on varial heels, only restricts your movement when in reality you want to kick out the opposite way and so for optimal results one should adjust their posture accordingly if that makes any sense, if only to make that particular trick less awkward and more comfortable to do if anything. I really dig how you're forming the flip on those, too, thanks for sharing!
