HARDFLIPS. PLEASE. they are such a bitch...

check a few pages back i posted a trick tip on them.....  but make sure you have a solid fs pop shove before anything else....

thanks, and yeah, front shoves are one of my favorite tricks.

if you don't do this, you'll do 4 mid-90's hardflips for every 1 barely passable one like I do. Good luck.

my front pops always used to flip when i tried them so i actually kicked on them and learned hardflips. never had a good front pop but my hardflips don't do that vertical rocket shit either.

have back 5050s down and if you dont you are fucked

go to the rail/ledge parallel and just go like a back 5050 but keep your shoulders parallel to the ledge/rail in the air

get in it

its more about feeling it than anything

then kill yourself

i learnt frontside flips first and then realized they were the same as a hardflip, sans the body rotation....  then i started to laern fs pop shoves.... 

but the hardest thing about hardflips is getting the flick right....  your front foot has to drag the board up and out, kinda like a diagonal motion, and then at the concave of the board flick your toe....

my friend had a theory that i found to be quite true WRT hardflips.... he said that the foot you put more weight on is the foot that will catch the board....  so if your having problems landing with both feet try adjusting the weight distribution....

i always thought of a hardflip as a f/s flip without your body 180ing

try it, it works

Just trust that you'll stay on the rail and commit to it. Worked for me.

Seeing as this thread was revitalized, I'll ask about popping out of boardslides (front or back) in the middle of a rail. That shit baffles me.

I think the object of that trick is to get your board soooo near vertical while turning out/hopping away from the ledge that the edge of your board is the only surface of your board gliding against the rail durring that split second of popping out, so that when gravity pulls you and your board down, your board sorta slides down the side of the rail instead of locking up into a willie grind or whatever
(see fig. 1)

that make sense?

I've found that I can only do this trick well on tall things. If I do it on something smaller, I can land and roll away, but my tail will hit the ground before my board's even off the rail, it's super weird.

fig.1 (kickflip front board pop-over fakie)


I'd say a decent warm-up for these tricks would be like a planter box ledge or rail, where you have to pop out to avoid a perpendicular rail.

yeah man, I think it's gotta do with popping out by applying pressure with your toes on that inside scoop of your tail (also something I forgot to mention)

it just feels fucking weird trying to apply pressure on the outside scoop of your tail w/ your heel.

I have never found trick tips helpfull in the least.  I just learned by trial and error and through practice. 
Watching skatevideos is enough for me; I don't need somebody telling me what I'm seeing.

Grinding on round rails, and crooked grinds in general

It's just about staying over the rail. Each grind has it's own "center", you gotta have a feel for that center then try to stay directy ontop of it.

Like for crooks, your center is right under your front two bolts, so when you lock in you wana have your weight centered over that spot. At least that's how I visualize it. Also, going faster helps a lot to keep your balance.

Ive been having a lot of trouble with this trick.
How do you do it?
the way i do it is drink 6-12 beers, roll up on a slight angle, when i kickflip i aim my front truck on the ledge and when i feel the board catch i push my backfoot towards the ledge so it evens out for a 5050. lean over that shit! roll away with your shoulders shrugged and your head dipped..or if you're ronson lambert make a chicken wing like arm motion out . enjoy little buddy!
I rolled my ankle jacking off on a ladder.

I have problems getting my back foot on varial heels.
They rotate nicely when I don't worry about getting both feet on,
but when I actually mind my feet it flips really slow/inconsistent and I catch them at an awkwards backside 90 degrees.
I'm regular footed if that helps.

Same here with kickflip front 50-50's. It so easy backside, but I can't even get a kickflip high enough frontside. Stupid
