How to Do a Fakie 180 Hardflip with a Frontside Flip 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, in this clip right here, I'm going to show you how we can do the Fakie frontside flip, which is the Fakie 180 Hardflip. The last clip we talked about doing the Fakie Hardflip. It's quite easy. All you have to do, just slightly tap it down; it flips. All you have to do is, basically just jump back, and pray that you don't get hit. So, what you do, for the Fakie frontside flip, all you have to do is, do the same concept. You turn around, go Switch, go on the nose of it, which is Fakie. So, we're riding along Fakie, we push down on the board, just like we did last time. This one is kind of trickier, because your back is going to be facing where you're going. It's easier to do the frontside flip instead of the Fakie frontside flip, 'cause when you're doing the frontside flip you see where you're going, because it's frontside. You see what's going on, how it's going to happen. But, when you're riding Fakie, your back is going to be facing towards where you're riding towards. So if you're moving forward, you're riding backwards. So, what you need to do is time yourself right. Twist your body again. Make sure you tap it, tap it slightly. Kick out. Make sure you spread your legs enough. Twist your body, and once you twist your body, you turn your body as well, catch it, and then land it, and ride away. It will look like this, in this couple clips."
