Info: This trick is name tells you all. It is hard to learn and DO! Before you do this it might help to learn how to
frontside 180 kickflip, frontside pop shuvit, and kickflip.
What's It Look Like?-
While riding the skateboarders board comes off the ground, and is vertical, and completes a half flip. They land on the
board and ride away.
Technique:
1. Be careful
2. Pump a few times until you are rolling at a speed you think is right for you.
3. Place the ball of your back foot across the tail, a little bit more towards the
heel side of your board is better. (Heel side is the side your heel is on...obviously). Place your front foot in the kickflip
position and a little more parallel with the heel side of your board.
4. Bend down and get ready. Give her shit. Pop as hard as you can on the tail, and begin to slide your front foot off the corner of the nose
and try to keep it there, out of the way, while the board rotates. As soon as your front foot is almost off the board lift you back foot up and
out of the way by moving out in the toe side (opposite of heel side, side that your toes is on) direction.
5. As the board turns vertical in the air, bring your back foot around towards the front of the board to let the board move between your legs.
6. As soon as it is possible, put your feet back on the board and even out.
7. Catch the board, land on all four wheels, and ride away.
Extra Help-
Problem: The board flipped up and hit me in the nuts. Now I'm bleeding.
Reason: You didn't jump high enough and didn't move you legs around the board.
Solution- to avoid the problem all together: Either go for the trick, or don't. If you mess around with this one you'll probably get sacked.
Jump high when you try to hardflip. Not only is it impossible to do the trick if you don't jump high, but you'll get hurt.
