never thought i'd learn hardflips, did one first try when a kid set one the other day, now they just make sense. used to hate that trick, now when i watch people do them i'm stoked, like i'm in the hardflip brotherhood or something, trying to pick up on the little things.
learned ice plant/beanplant fakies or whatever on a three foot mini. learned how to jump in off the deck in the switch beanplant position and just turned around and learned them to fakie. still a little weird stalling them and coming back in but i did a few. it's a whole new ballgame of balls going up from a three footer to four footer, though
