How to Hardflip in Place When Skateboarding

Video Transcript

"What's up y'all? My name is Darin Carter on behalf of Expert Village. I'm going to show you today how to do a Hardflip on a skateboard. Alright, so we got the Hardflip down. We're able to flip it in between our legs. Keep it leveled out underneath us and then catch it in the air and land it. Alright, there's two different ways that we can do the Hardflip. It's totally different. One is doing the Hardflip in motion, and one is doing the Hardflip in place. It's difference 'cause momentum of doing it in motion is much easier to do. Now if you do it in place and you're just practicing, it's kind of difficult. Alright, so, once we do the Hardflip, how we talk about positioning our feet and how we kick down with our back foot on the tail. And it kicks down and out. So it lets it flip inwards. So once we have that, make sure when you do this and you're sitting in place your back foot is pushing down, it's kicking out, but also kick forward in front of you. That allows the board to flip in front of you and once you're in place you should be able to catch it in air. It should be right underneath you. If you don't and you just flip it, it will probably land behind you, or probably land on the side of you. So try doing that, uh, flipping the board in front of you. Kick out. Push in. Push forward. And then try to level out underneath you and land it."
