HOW TO HARDFLIP

[@thatguy431]

I literally learned how to hard flip in a dream. I had been practicing but couldn't stick it. In the dream I was practicing but able to sorta slow down and feel how I have to move my legs in order to basically jump high enough. Woke up tried it a few times and landed my first hard flip. Getting enough air time was key for me. edit: damn its cool that so many people have experienced this! keep dreamin yall!

[@supermarmotte]

Insane

[@sebastiand-h3758]

I’ve learned tricks that same way like lucid dreaming.. and also practicing ofc

[@andresbaervoets6528]

I had that with kickflips

[@johnnyraven8178]

This literally is how I learned so many of the basics. The only “advance trick” I’ve ever learned in a dream is a plasma spin

[@dannywebb587]

Dude!! I learned how to hardflip in a dream to hahaha! I was 14, my dad was working shift work and I woke up at roughly 3 am and started doing them in my bedroom until I figured them out!

[@grafzhl]

Looking forward to the next "How to Hardflip" video in a couple of months when Jonny revises his technique again 😏

[@misterneckbreaker88]

hardest part is trusting the board to do its thing. i was learning frontside flips and one time i did it without turning and it did a hardflip. and bringing the popping leg up high to get above the board its such a cool trick and very satisfying landing.

[@Freizeitazteke]

Vorab, ich liebe deine Videos und deine Person. Ich habe selten eine so charismatische Persönlichkeit hier erleben dürfen, danke dafür. Bitte mach das weiter und bleib wie du bist, du gibst unglaublich viel an Inspirationen weiter. Danke !

[@xsupratikx4287]

My one tip for hardflips (and frontside flips if you do them that way), is to make sure you throw your leading shoulder out otherwise the board gets behind you

[@sk8mafia214]

What do you mean by “throw your leading shoulder out”?

[@isrealskater5167]

Out???? Elaborate pls!!!!😩🙏

[@yeetyeetmf2669]

@Is Real Skater he obviously means to discolate your shoulder/pop it out of its socket mid trick, hope I was able to help!

[@natewilliamsounds]

@@sk8mafia214 he means open your leading shoulder towards your heel

[@AntoineVac]

The scooping part made this trick make so much more sense!

[@equaleyez]

6:28 Great example of two very different executions. Both are style! Love the other guy's little front foot flick at the end. Great tut as always Jonny!

[@bellabear653]

Lol saved his best advice for the end. Pressure flips are the key to hard flips.

[@LotkaVolterra]

Wow, this is the video that got me to land my first hardflip. I'm also not a natural hardflipper, so I needed to see your back foot action to finally get it. When I'd watch pros do them, it seemed like they were popping straight down - they sort of hide the scoop through shear athleticism. Took 10 years, but I finally landed it this morning. Seriously, hardflips and laser flips were the two flatground trick that always eluded me.

[@booth403]

25ish years skating and I *just* learned dolphin flips a couple of weeks ago, now feeling like I really need to get hardflips and am super glad you have this video out 😅 going to go out front and try some right now lol Thanks for always having that great quality content ;P

[@chopwoodcarrywater49531]

Just tell people you don't need hardflips. You can do an Ollie late nollie hardflip. 🤣 That's what I called dolphins when I had em on lock back in the day.

[@booth403]

@@chopwoodcarrywater49531 That's genius, specifically because I still don't have hardflips 😅

[@Skankhunt-hl9zj]

@@booth403did you ever learn them? I’m having trouble for months I think I saw this comment months ago when I was watching this for advice lol I actually learned dolphins and nollie dolphins recently too

[@booth403]

@Skankhunt-hl9zj still haven't learned them 😅 my process recently has been to go back to the basics in the hopes that something clicks. I now have all 8 shuvs, switch is still sketchy but doable, all the kickflips and am working on switch and nollie heels. Once I get the heels I'm going back to all the hardflip, varial and inward variants. I think this is the best way, since having complete control over the flick and scoop *should* make it easier to understand the nuances of the hard tricks. That said, good luck my dude!

[@jamiefpv7576]

20 years of skateboarding and I still cannot hardflip. I'll give it another go with this tutorial thanks Jonny !

[@Schnarkel]

[@Pterodactylphenylalanine]

Bro the strug is real, I’ve been skating on and off for 10+yrs and cannot hard flip. Just got sk in my last game of skate before my opponent broke his board on a nasty mean hardflip stomp or I would’ve lost for sure.

geeeeeeez Johnny, your pro model is so sick! WOH!

[@ale.g.x.667]

The decks we use today(designed by Rodney Mullen ) are really insane actually. It's not just a flat peice of wood for a reason. If you can learne all the pressure points of the board you can do any trick... With practice of course.

[@mrraynewman]

Nice trick tip! The side ways flick was something I never considered! Def helped get there! Was always kicking diagonal instead of straight out side ways!

[@loyaltyuncrythro6788]

Since you posted this and I've thought about learning it.. I'ma try to hard flip now 👀

i landed my first today after around an hour trying. never done them before. they are hella hard, i figured out that i need to let i rocket a bit then get the spin. to be honest, its the landing thats the worst. it feels like a body varial.

I can explain the scoop, when you do the shuv motion instead of going back for a shuv or forward for a front shuv you do the same motion but into your nose straight forward, hope that helps people

somebody left an old deck at the park and I was trying to see if pressure flips are possible at all, couldn't get them to work, tried hardflips and 'landed' my first, on a carpet board at least :) interesting that you compare the technique to pressure flips too!

[@ChadOHara98]

Dude nice. Im already working on treflips. Diene videos sind die besten

[@rahiem982]

The way I explain scoop to people is if you do your shuv before the trick pops, you wheels will drag the board behind your back or ahead of you, task 1, get your wheels off the ground, task 2, spin

[@craigdanielmaceacher]

Back in early 90s in small town with handful of skaters and no internet, noone could figure out how this was done. Damn, if only the internet and these sorts of things existed back then we would progressed so much faster. It's no wonder newer kids coming up are gnarly so fast, they see what's possible first-hand and internalize it and have people to help them.

[@b.l4365]

Hardest thing to do this trick is to just be committed to landing it. Yes it’s scary cause the board goes up and potentially can anal you but don’t be afraid. Get the basics and once you’re confident, you got this! 🙌🏼

[@mosermichael4404]

Hmmm like that I couldn't do a hard flip with the foot position. I stand completely different Conveyor foot exactly the same as kick flip position (or frontside flip). Back foot as with a backside pop shovit. Then puch the rear foot like with a frontside shovit and flip slightly. And gumming up and opening your legs .. Man does the hard flip with your back foot! The flip is so much easier than in the foot position where Mr. Skate Professor Geiger points! Standing safely is so much more difficult. I love hardflip my lovely trick Greetings from switzerland!

God i miss doing hardflips. Fractured my front foot couple months ago when rolled my ankle real bad now im back on the board and only can do impossibles, pressure flips and nollie/switch tricks

[@sac-uy3rl]

I've always put my back foot on the front corner not the back. No scoop. Just straight pop. It will make the hard flip go vertical between your legs, Johnny's goes more shuv it style, which is imo way harder but safer for your nuts. Chet Thomas best hardflipper ever old A-Team skater.

[@BikesAndBatallas]

I'm 42. When I was a kid my parents weirdly let me ride motorcycles (since I was ten) but not have a skateboard ("bad-crowd" argument, which they later recognized was flawed). So I only was able to try out tricks when someone was around and let me try, which wasn't that often. But for some reason the hardflip was intuitive to me; I think I tried and screwed up a kickflip and it just clicked. I never got a skateboard, but when my six-year-old asked for one for her birthday she obviously got one (things like this skip a generation; my kids will never have motorcycles). Thirty years later I can still nail it fairly consistently (but not much else!), something even my parents think is rad.

Be sure you catch these good before you land, they tend to stay behind you if you mess up. A very common mistake I'd make was stomping my front heel on the tail after a bad catch, for someone my size that's an almost certain crack. Tried getting them better for like half a year before my wallet convinced me otherwise.

[@regster2168]

i can hardflip and i dont really think you need front shuvs unlocked at all, it will probably help but i learned without really being able to front shuv

[@fauzanhw7768]

[@breid3492]

Hey Jonny, I used to land a frontside flip that was pretty much a hardflip with a body varial. I'd just kinda wedge my toe into the crook where the nose starts to bend up when the board was near enough vertical. The board would just wrap around my foot to level off for a perfect catch. Could never do it as just a hardflip though.

[@DiegoJ1023]

Totally different trick. The board does the same rotation but the technique for approaching each of them is very different

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

@@DiegoJ1023 Not necessarily. The way he's describing it (vertically-popped FS flip), the foot positions and board rotation will be identical.
