HOW TO HARDFLIP THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL

What this video teaches

Short, beginner-accessible tutorial from Aaron Kyro (Braille) focused on the core mechanical idea: back foot does a frontside shove motion while the front foot flicks at nearly 90 degrees to clear the board. Recommends practicing the flip without committing full weight first.

Key tips

• 1Turn your front foot almost 90 degrees to the board, nearly straight across, so you can flick with your toe and still get the foot clear
• 2Place your back foot off to the back heel side of the tail, on the ball of the foot, ready to shove frontside
• 3Your back foot does a frontside sweep motion while your front foot does the kickflip flick simultaneously
• 4The back foot shoving the board pushes it directly into your front toe, making the flip happen naturally with little extra effort
• 5The hardest part is getting the front foot out of the way: the nearly straight foot angle solves this by letting the toe flick while the heel clears
• 6Practice by flipping the board and stepping off with your back foot, keeping only your front foot on, to get used to the catch
• 7Catch the board with your front foot while it is still in the air, then bring the back foot down
• 8Have your kickflip and frontside shove-it solid before attempting this trick
