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

[ziggy]

I might get one out of 25

[theoriginalgoon]

Yes

[GAY]

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

[RoughStylin]

Olli

[Steely Daniel]

50-100 but I'd probably give up after 10 and do some noseslides instead

[Noble Experiment]

Sometimes first try, sometimes the whole sesh.

[Mongo Lloyd]

Probably first try. Definitely within 3 tries.

[Gab]

At least 6, maybe 12.

We should start calling varial kickflip easyflip.

[conan777]

When I was a teenager: maybe 3 tries
Now: maybe 100 tries

[Frank and Fred]

0️⃣never even attempted one. Am I missing out?

[EdLawndale]

Can you kickflip and blindside shuv-it?

[matty_c]

Switch and on a bank to forwards, maybe ten tries but also I haven’t stood on a skateboard in months so idk

Also, they’re Cairo foster ones, they don’t fully flip

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…

[TheLurper]

If you give me 600 tries and check on me next week, I might be able to do it. Although 100 bucks and trip to Benihana's might really motivate me to do it.

[Trashcon]

50+. Haven't done one in over 10 years and never really had them.

[Southernmost]

Sometimes first try, sometimes the whole sesh.

Came here to write the same thing. If I don’t land one first T or within a few tries, it might take me 50 tries to get a decent one.

[Lou Strux]

First try every goddamned time!!!








Kidding: ain’t never happened & not gonna neither.
REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!!

[Easy Slider]

I have never tried. Might as well.

[marcusbutler]

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

[Dante Bichette]

I mean I can do a not great inward after about 50 tries. That’s kinda like a hardflip.

[somethingmustbreaknow]

Sometimes first try, sometimes the whole sesh.

yup

[Arto!Arto!WakeUp!]

mentally filed hardflip under 'never going to happen', which probably isn't a positive step toward it happening.

but i figure i've had vhf for about 3 years now, i still don't have them down to good consistency or execution - so if i suck that bad at putting the easier flip into a front pop, how am i going to work the hard one in there? probably a dumb comparison, but there we are. 

my fs fiips, such as they exist, are very very flat (not in a cool way) so i don't have any 'illusion' tekkers (or even mild verticality) to bring to the table. and i don't really like the idea of getting castrated trying to figure them out. i'd be stoked to do a daewon style one, but i feel the malto/herman diagonal one is the only really respected kind.

[Prostate Exam]

Two, and after two I'd have to quit because I don't have any nuts left.

[Sick_McCrank_]

Too hard

[devils acrobat]

Probably first try. Definitely within 3 tries.

Its not pretty but it is there

[HugeBodBoyle]

I quit skating back in 1994 because of hardflips so, I'm gonna say 50.

[roba]

regular hardflip might take a while, between 5 and 500 tries, fakie hardflip would be quicker

[PJS]

Switch almost every go without meaning to sound cocky but regular ones are definitely one in a million  Think I've landed 3 in my entire 23 years of skating. Switch are way easier.

[MtnDoucheBag]

I’ve done one so far and it looked and felt disgusting. Probably 15-20 tries.
My sw hard flips flip beautifully.
