How-To Skateboarding: Lazer Flips with Jordan Hoffart

[@Tzalmavet]

Everybody is always doing tres which is cool but i'd like to see someone do mainly lazers.

[@Tzalmavet]

MrLagtastic Oh dude i know about Lamont holt. He still doesn't do as many lasers as i would like though.

[@osgbenny486]

Tristen Whitlock I agree with that statement

[@SparksX18]

that's how i'm gonna be

[@zacchaeussteed5056]

Theotis Beasley does em

[@Catalog3005]

Dashawn Jordan *cough cough*

[@samboerickson1118]

its so cool we live ina a day and age where if you want to learn a trick somone on youtube will gladly show you, i cant wait to figure this trick out

[@BChan1991]

3:50 NOTICE THERE'S A SLIGHT DELAY BEFORE HE FLICKS THAT HEEL OFF THE CORNER. THATS THE KEY

[@apexscape]

for some reason that's the secret for anything heel

[@ChillerizeSB]

"Hello my name is Jordan Hoffart, and today I'm going to teach you how to do a few trick tips"

[@SuperJulio2008]

I can't get over the fact that he was so down for Powell that he got it tattooed and they just dropped him

[@evinclements5214]

true

[@SuperJulio2008]

***** Yeah but he's really good and he was on them long enough to get the ink done. I would only do that if the only reason was me leaving. At last he's still on their wheels.

[@CLGoldman1]

+Julio No shit. My buddy Steven Reeves was riding for them at the same time.They pretty much dropped everyone except Cab. It was a bunch of shit. Steven now rides for the homies on Dieta and Jordan rides for Stereo, which is a super rad team.

[@johnathanmaymay180]

How come they dropped him

[@269739]

Lazer flips will never be out some pros cant even do it

[@rileycunningham5165]

I accidentally started learning these. I was trying frontside 360 shove and it kept flipping.. Now I'm learning laser 😂

[@SkaterJude16]

This guy is awesome. Great teacher, good explanations, and seems like a nice guy. Him explaining helped out a lot in this tip, and his other ones. Plus, he's an awesome skater.

[@ZylethXenocian]

Damn dude, why does everyone ride goofy now? I'm like the only guy I know how rides regular.

[@yore5]

it's weird cuz almost everyone in my area rides regular but everyone online rides goofy like wtf

[@Nirvezz]

ZylethX3N0 I'm the only guy that knows how to ride switch... wait nevermind I skate alone •_____•

[@Kohiku]

We have a lot of regulars in Asia

[@sasproductions701]

dude i skate on my own and i don't know if im goofy or regular because im that good.

[@notnorthkai]

Goofy's the natural way. Skate OG's called the stance "goofy" to weed out posers. Though..I think regular looks cooler 80% of the time.

[@unsignedswag]

Thanks! So inspiring, also GREAT teacher

[@THURNISJACKSON]

THIS CHANNEL IS GENIUS!!

[@jasielcalixto]

I wish I could do a trick like this whenever I wanted to. (seems so easy) too late for me. not enough time for practicing. But I'm still happy doing my stuff

[@allinwarda5894]

Did you quit skating? :(

[@jasielcalixto]

@@allinwarda5894 no. I’ll never quit

[@Rookgnar]

Im the type that will get so close but never land it so no worries here

[@sexandskateandrocknroll4741]

Alex Woodward`s laser flips are just one of the bests. The one in the line at Valencia blew my mind

[@tehczarofgnar]

Nice how to sir.. I feel most are usually just one take, then the same footage is used. Seeing it done multiple times at dif speeds from dif angles gave me a good idea where to start.. laerning to get the board to stay with me is kind of a pain but I'm at least close now! Thanks a lot!

[@TheMahigetFamily]

Love this guy. Gotta love his humor

[@vincentskate01]

the 7 stair laserflip was beautiful

[@spikelord5]

Fresh ! Hypes me up to see this trick

[@keithsk8s]

1:58 It looks like his ankle is broken.

[@swimmaboyswag]

this trick looks so awesome

[@Ch1Frequency]

Yes, that's right, It was way before the 97 video and in the Questionable video Rodney did some other very technical tricks too.

[@timerdagr8t333]

I almost landed this trick today I want this trick so badley

[@timerdagr8t333]

Who the fuck are these people

[@afzelover3255]

Paul Rebosa Annoying-ass trolls. Kind of depresses me to know that there are people like that. A waste of life.

[@timerdagr8t333]

Ay Mathew nabours fuck people like that I don't really care what they say as long as I what I do

[@alansalazar4383]

Paul Rebosa holy shit , Paul is this you 😂 Im alan from school lol , im watching this video cuz I almost got the laserflip when I was trying varial heelflips , I did land the varial heel but I accidentally almost landed a laser and now im trying it , vete para alla atras con nosotros wey pa ke patines conmigo 👌

[@santagoxd3457]

U got em now?

[@meadedominique273]

Cleanest laser intro I've ever seen!!

[@HarrySahneClips]

this trick looks awesome!

[@joesheahan2360]

tre flips will never be "out" mr. Hoffart...theres nothing like a nice buttery 360 flip

[@junglistmiccheck]

OneEtronOneMaouth tell your mum the money is behind the tv

[@kount1993]

i remember watchin his trick tip videos "On Demand" like 5 years ago. didnt realize he would end being as good as he is

[@fullmetaldovahkiin]

Awesome! Keep skating man!

[@the1saul1]

hes going to teach me some trick tips?! hyped!

[@kevingrant6415]

I got perfect rotation on this only prob is I land with only one foot on. I'm gonna try moving my front foot up a lil see if that works.

[@ksrhys-]

Love how he's concerned for his job prospects; as if he isn't one of the most amazing skateboarders alive right now.

[@blackcowboymusic]

can't wait for his part in the new Bones video

[@ENRMO]

nice it gave me a start hopefully i'll land at least one by the end of the week

[@ExiledGreed723]

Very nice explanation

[@thariqf.a1296]

Nice trick!

[@Nirvezz]

I've only landed a fs 180 lazerflip. I could never understand this and getting back into skating it's still difficult to land. I can do them to bust but landing is always difficult. I hope nollie laser is easier since I recently got down nollie heel varial

[@jhamircc]

beautiful Trick!

[@PaypahClip]

this guy has such sick laser flips

[@strictlyrudeinhd]

A inward heel would be a regular shove + heelflip. A variel and a lazer flip would be a front shove+ heelflip.

[@xxTr4mm3llxx22]

Perfect LazerFlips!

[@classymotion]

very good trick tip

[@brendancourage]

Thank you Zolar!

[@buffpnoy14]

such a modest dude.

[@IsaacTheCloudman]

If front shuvs are uncomfortable than lasers are going to be impossible cuz it's a 360 front shuv with a heelflip you should learn front shuvs first than heelflip than varial heels than maby a front 360 shuv then come back and try lasers hope this helps :)

[@adrianmendez3888]

The best! Exclamation

[@theonewiththename5867]

I fucking love this man his vibe is one of a kind so modest

[@ayylmao1056]

it helped ;) tomorrow is switch pop shove's try day ! :D

[@PaTrIcE1996love]

Landed my first one today thx for the video

[@SamAndSanah]

finally, someone of the same kind

[@vincentskate01]

yes indeed, i didn't notice. thanks man :)

[@errantshady]

since he's funny and this trick is so damn hard , i decided to learn this trick later in 4 years from now :))

[@cyhanson441]

Thanks helped alot

[@TylerEdwardsSkate]

I've been skating for just over a year and everyone I've been skating with have said that I progressed fast, thank you =) Anyways, that doesn't mean you suck

[@qpang12345678]

Thank you I can now do the laser flip

[@PotatoPlop]

gotta learn this for 2012!

[@juicejuicefroot]

Why am I watching this? I was just on a Cat video, I swear!!

[@Julian-mc7cm]

I hope you're happy.

[@SSOTO]

Welcome to KZbin.

[@thorisogaobuse29]

the one he launched off the a-frame was epic.

[@ikenna45]

idk it always motivated me to get all my shit done perfect so when i finally get out to skate it feels sooooooo good

[@jericbork]

Jordan....the first person that I know of that did a laser flip rode for powell and his name was Pat.

[@K91242]

The first laser flip I've seen was on youtube and the vid was called "trickipedia - laser flip" and T-Puds did laser flips to powerful music. True story

[@vincefrantz]

Pat Brennan - powell. Padded at the powell warehouse, 1990ish.

[@ayylmao1056]

I can't land frontside pop shove its, do you suggest me to learn laser flips before i learn fs pop shoves ? * frontside pop shoves are really uncomfortable for me.

[@StormRoxas]

Thanks bro, I'll let you know how it works out

[@12345forgetthis]

Dude your badass!

[@SDoylerrs]

Yeah that's pretty much it. People seem to find doing the front 360 shove it harder than the back 360 shove it like in a Tre Flip

[@JonjassDesigns]

"and they slowly started popping up" I see what you did there :3

[@EpidermisThermos]

Im gonna do this today.

[@dizzydeeqq]

Seems like a cool dude

[@ixspectre]

hey the front foot , do u flick it out like a varial heel?

[@supernewuser]

When he did it down the double set I couldn't stop thinking about how sick it would be if he took it to backside 50-50 or 5-0 on that ledge behind him.

[@gino31mont]

Hes a good teacher

[@fullmetaldovahkiin]

Learn your fs shoves first. They are really uncomfortable and i believe they are a underrated trick. Often times people do them switch because regular their snap is to powerful. Personally my switch frontside shoves are better than my regular. Just take about an hour or two and work on the trick. Hope this helps :)

[@jamesstark6366]

My mans, is super cool.

[@greekrider55]

guys what editing program do you recomend forr making videos, and edits?

[@seandebaca2349]

It also helps to pop really hard on this trick :)

[@ExDrO4MO]

This is hard!

[@samadkhan542]

yes ur right i have that i too works on every site

[@DubphonicSkater]

Thanks helped a lot & I wont learn it too fast ;]

[@EpidermisThermos]

So Rad!

[@BURGHDAZE]

My first laser flip history was Torey pudwill

[@Spiirty]

I always get this in 2 ways A: I get the 360 rotation but not the flip completely and B: I get the flip perfect but the rotation like 3 quarters through :/ any tips btw I can fs shuv, varial heelflip which are like the small steps to this

[@MarcusMcGrizz]

Try putting your front foot in different positions. Juggle with it and you'll find a better flip & rotation. Just keep your back foot in the same position.

[@isaiaha8395]

Junior Barrios its basically the opposite of the 360 flip

[@TammyDempsey73]

2Z

[@skatestacker]

I tried this trick before but did half of it so it only did a 180 and half a heel flip and landed a Casper position so I did a Casper but I have no idea what to call it any suggestions please reply

[@BURGHDAZE]

Big Bang

[@shavencarrot]

love how you took that 30 seconds to write this :3

[@Jhizzle473]

Any help for if I can't get full rotation cuz they go I to varial heels

[@Ascalis1]

Every time I try the board pops up like 5 feet directly behind me. Does the flip and everything but way too high and too far behind me.

[@emiliodapremont1034]

+Ascalis try to pop the tail forward, not nose to back!! and more close to the bolts

[@shaunkhululekabaloyi9273]

I've been watching this video since I was 13 I'm 20 now, still can't laser flip, smh 😭😞

[@ashmyblunt]

I can relate

[@avalon5109]

Same. And I’m coming from his original Laser Flip trick tip from like 2006 🥲

[@JonMarcelo-fi3pg]

Crazy how some people can just do tricks really easy and then there's us

[@SUN-OVA-GUN]

i am landing it with my back foot. What should I do?

[@devont3934]

sick

[@NOVIASCOTIA]

a lot of people don't know this but Jordan Hoffart was in the movie Blade Trinity. He played a character named squiggy... or something like that. He got killed.

[@DLeeeet]

Whats the trick thats at the intro to every trick tip? At around 0:15-0:16

[@V4ultr3mTV]

You dont get ads... when watching youtube on youre PS VITA!! BOOYAHH!!

[@TylerEdwardsSkate]

Technically you'll never need to know a kickflip to be able to laser. The tricks have nothing in common unless you count balance when landing a flip trick.

[@bulyboy39]

Wondering if someone can help me, when i try learning this trick i tend to either credit card or do a inward heelflip.. not sure why, any ideas? many thanks

[@m_hoskins1797]

sounds like u are a very good skater i can ollie off like curbs but i still suck pretty bad

[@vuquocanh139]

is that varial heelflip ?

[@Victor-iz1nn]

steez for days

[@ryanv4511]

Lol i can flip it super clean and land it with my front foot really chill but when it comes to really trying to land it, the flip is gone and i bail everytime. Any one has a tip for me?

[@shoktone1087]

I don't understand how whenever the pros pop their ollies for any trick, it sounds like its just like SNAP and mine are more like damp cardboard?

[@r4ng3k03r1]

and maybe you aren't popping hard enough my boards old and it sounds almost identical but yea new boards make a snap alot louder and they are in the warehouse haha

[@shoktone1087]

STRONG HIGHBRID No, I know I'm popping hard enough.

[@r4ng3k03r1]

ShoK TonE Then you probably got an old board or something I've never really had that issue my shit snaps before that point usually

[@shoktone1087]

STRONG HIGHBRID Nah my boards not that old. Guess my tail is just worn as shit

[@r4ng3k03r1]

ShoK TonE possibly what kind of deck are you riding

[@Meezy615]

It's all in the pop make sure you pop then give it the scoop an kinda shift your weight to go behind you . Good luck bros

[@mickychm1]

I love watching these, and I don't even have a scateboard.
