In my 13 years of skating iv never seen a tutorial done so well. iv never been able to get my head around this trick but im gonna give it another go tomorrow with your guidance.
Been trying hard flips for a long time, watched countless how to videos but still no success. Tonight I watched your video at the local skatepark and landed a hard flip in about 5 tries, so I want to say Thankyou for making this video. This is the first ever how to video that's actually helped me!
Love that man with pushing your back foot forward. Stopped skating hard due to illness years ago. Could’ve done many flip tricks but never got around to learning hard flips, started learning them right before I faded into the darkness., whatever I was doing I was doing right as I was getting the flip that day I started taking it seriously, but from your description, I think it’s the best. And makes sense for anyone who will want to learn hard flips, esp the note on its its own trick apart from kick flip and fs shuv . Which I’ve always known seeing people hard flip by mistake, or inward heel instead of heel flipping and people can variable kicklip without doing shuv s or flips, I’ve witnessed this and when u look at the motion and pressure and weight for each of the tricks, it’s all different......however! I’m sure their are many who can do the fs shuv thing with the kick flick and get a hard flip.......we all have different speed flick patterns and weight and timing styles which all require different techniques. Thanks for sharing yours to the skate world 🦋🌺✊🏼🌎
Excellent video as always. You have a tenancy to repeat, or over explain things. I like that. Much better than leaving things out like most people do. I haven't seen a Hardflip video besides yours where they actually tell you to push the board forward. I'm glad you did the pre-vid clarification on the flick, because seeing you show it differently each time would've confused me lol.
Thanks for that video man. I'm learning hardflips right now and I actually have landed a few "fs varials", but this vid showed me how to do it properly. Haven't seen any better before, all others explenations are like "stand like that, do that, that's all", so thanks again.
so true. I can't skate a 7.75 AT ALL...I started with 8's, and moved up. I learned how to treflip with an 8.75 and now I'm back down to an 8.5 which is pretty comfortable (surprisingly still feels a lil small) thanks for the tips man! It all makes sense now!
Hey man! I love your tutorials they really help and show a lot more detail than most trick tips on UA-cam. I've been having a lot of trouble with my hardflips lately bit I think after watching this video I'll take the advice and tips you gave in it so thanks dude!🙌😃💯
haha I know exactly where you are coming from dude. When I was learning how to skate way back when, the internet was the only place I could go to learn how to skate. So I survived on trick tips and such; and I'd get super pissed with how standoffish and cold so many trick tippers are, it's crazy. It's like they didn't care about the little guys at all, absolutely no replies for the people who have problems, I hated that so much. And now I'm here doing the stuff I wish I had access to when I was younger, haha So the pleasure is all my dude
The back foot push helped me soooo much thank you, still having some problems keeping in between my legs and getting the full flip but I guess that will come with practice, landed 3 in an hour after watching this
dude thanks to your videos I can do many tricks now ever since the heel flip one and still going now moving on to the hard flip thanks to you I am the decent skater I am today
Thank you very much for clarifying that "FS shove + kickflip" dilemma. I was really struggling trying to FS pop and flick. What you say in this video makes so more sense.
I'm still working on it, but believe it or not, being able to front shuv no-comply helped me a lot more than normal front pop shuvs. Because I get the board staying under me and going between my legs with the no comply. Pop shuvs fronside go behind me do that feels less like a hardflip.
Thanks, that helped, I was trying to flick up off the nose like a kickflip and it just wasn't working. Can't wait to get these down so I can try Muska flips.
Great video man. So in depth. And you're right, this way of doing hardflips looks so much better than the weird side ways type. They look like a shuvit gone wrong. Peace. PS you got yourself some skills!
Dude, i seriously dont get it. How are you not popular on youtube! I mean, you dedicate alot of your work to us and try your best! I know this takes yoy alot of time, you deserve more mike, keep up the good work!
been looking every where ! for a good in depth how to , and i found one ! :) , i am going to work on hard flips more but i need to rely practice ALOT ! , thanks so much for such a in depth broken down how to vid :) i commend you on so much detail :) !
Yeah, I think it's funny watching different vids of the same trick seeing how different people do the exact same trick in totally different ways. I saw this little kid teaching a Hardflip and he flicked damn near backwards lol. Also wanna tell you I most enjoy your "odd" trick videos, like the Mentally Accelerated series. Probably why Haslam is one of my favorite pros. I hope you do more of those types of tricks. The Gazelle Nerdflip you did was very excellent.
I Have been trying with a front shuv for at least a couple of months and I Only landed about 5.I Tried your method and landed it first Try :D Thank's Dood , thanks a lot C:
Once he said he didn’t like hardflips that have more of a front shove in them I was out. Some of the best hardflips in the game, Bryan Herman and Mike Carrol both do them that way, plus a grip of other people. They are definitely the more stylish of the two.
I think you're sliding your foot forward like an olllie or kickflip. The best way to feel this trick out is to just pop and push like he said with your back foot and just leave your front foot right where he says to leave it and you'll feel the trick start. Then you just flick perpendicular and it should flip right around.
***** how do i over come my fears and hop over the board im scared of hitting my balls i can always form them but sometimes it goes higher than what i expect and im too scared to jump over it
Yeah this is when things get a little iffy because I had an easier time learning since I'm kind of tall, so I really didn't have to learn how to evade from hardflips. What I would recommend is possibly trying hardflips and planting your back foot on the ground once you start them? You know, to get a feel of the rotation and making sure that the hardflip rotates fast enough. You can also go buy yourself a cup too if you think it may help you be more confident. I think those are some good ideas.
This vid helped me a lot i attempted to learn hardflips starting today and i was already able to stomp one down but my back foot came off :[ but i need to figure out how i can get the flick more consistent because most the time im either flinging the board in front of me or im doing a kickflip on accident but once i get the flick right there is a nice hardflip motion with me just needing to be able to catch and land on the board
I think this is just one of those tricks I'll never learn lol I just have a mental block, I do for heel flips too, but I am slightly progressing with those.
I don't put it on the ground immediatly, but I can't keep it up the whole time my board does the motion. I think my problem is tucking in my legs, but like I said, if i focus on tucking in my legs I can't really pop it because I'm to focused on tucking in my legs. Maybe you have some tips so I can learn how to tuck in my legs better? If not, I'll just have to keep practicing :) And thanks for the help man, I really appreciate all the work you put in helping others! I'll let you know if it helped
this is the most amazing and helpful tutorial for a hardflip I've ever seen. do you have one for backside 360 ollies? or frontside? I'm not sure which one to learn...I'm weird. I can backside flip but not frontside flip...I can frontside 180 but not backside.... I can almost backside 360 but nowhere near frontside 360.....
Stop making such awesome tutorials I keep beating my friends at games of skate and have made them cry many a times....I hope your satisfied you cruel cruel man.
maybe thats why i kept messin them up back when i was learning them. i think to myself: backfoot do front shuv and front foot u flick completely out. and i hardly even got them fully. maybe thats why.. like the tuts mike..
Ive got the motion with me, its just that usually, as I jump and pickup my back foot, my back foot accidentally taps or gets the board and either get a shinner on that leg, or land the board upside down. Its really weird but in first person, I feel like I will get the motion, but just end up with hardflip fails, some times I do land it though
I can get the rotation and land with one foot . But when I go for two feet it ends up going 90 degrees. (I do them less vertical and more like the varial way)
5:06 Oh shit this reminds me: many years ago I tried a heelflip...and I got the board vertical right on my gooch and I was so short I landed on it and kind of sat there for a second before I fell over. Didn't try another heelflip for a long time after that, heh. PS: Oh yeah, good explanation. Much more comprehensive than the others I've seen.
Please make a common problem video, I have the rotation perfectly I just can't land it, it's always just one foot on it, like it feels weird to land it
main thing i noticed with hardflips is that you have to commit. and commit hard. you cant half commit or you end up nutting yourself. its like doing a backflip, if you are not going 100%, you will probably mess up. (at least while learning)
I have a problem with my hardflips, i get the flick down just fine, board does the full motion and i can land it with my front foot, but I just seem to instantly put down my back foot... If I focus on really jumping with my back foot, I can't get the full motion of my board. I've noticed that I have a different placement of my back foot, I put both my feet parallel. I've tought that might be the reason why I can't seem to land them, because I think I have my shoulders twisted too much see part 2

How do you keep your shoulders parallel to the board but face your chest towards the nose. 😂😂😂
This is hands down the best tutorial for hardflips on UA-cam. You explain every step unlike most who just try to show their technique.
I recently landed my first hardflip and it's all thanks to you! Your vertical hardflip not only looks better but feels better! I
Congrats dude! Glad to hear you got it!
Also glad you like my way of hardflips =]
Slowmomike has the best how to's for skateboarding
In my 13 years of skating iv never seen a tutorial done so well. iv never been able to get my head around this trick but im gonna give it another go tomorrow with your guidance.

Ok dude this is wayyh better explanation then all the pros out there you actually explain what you have to do with everything

That look when the board went behind you. Priceless

My pleasure dude! Good luck!
Your the best because you actually reply to commits unlike other people who give trick tips it really helped thanks man
haha I know exactly where you are coming from dude. When I was learning how to skate way back when, the internet was the only place I could go to learn how to skate.

Thank you for the tips bro I knew there was more to it than just combined 2 other tricks
dude thanks to your videos I can do many tricks now ever since the heel flip one and still going now moving on to the hard flip thanks to you I am the decent skater I am today
That's awesome to hear dude! Glad to hear the success :D
The kick flip before the fs shuv in the garage was beautiful
Thank you very much for clarifying that "FS shove + kickflip" dilemma. I was really struggling trying to FS pop and flick. What you say in this video makes so more sense.
The best tutorial I've seen!
But you probably just explained this the best I've ever seen so I subscribed bro. Props
couldnt get hardflips until i watched this vid!! nailed it in three tries after watching! legendary stuff
I'm still working on it, but believe it or not, being able to front shuv no-comply helped me a lot more than normal front pop shuvs. Because I get the board staying under me and going between my legs with the no comply. Pop shuvs fronside go behind me do that feels less like a hardflip.
Thanks, that helped, I was trying to flick up off the nose like a kickflip and it just wasn't working. Can't wait to get these down so I can try Muska flips.

Best Explanation yet On UA-cam!
I almost landed one today. My back foot just slipped off. I will keep practicing. Thanks for the tips they helped a lot!!
Yeah, I think it's funny watching different vids of the same trick seeing how different people do the exact same trick in totally different ways. I saw this little kid teaching a Hardflip and he flicked damn near backwards lol.
Also wanna tell you I most enjoy your "odd" trick videos, like the Mentally Accelerated series. Probably why Haslam is one of my favorite pros. I hope you do more of those types of tricks. The Gazelle Nerdflip you did was very excellent.
Slowmomike, all of your trick tips are really really really helpful.
Thanks man! Glad you think so! :D
When I try my hard flips I get the rotation but I can't get my back foot to land on the board

Awesome to hear the progress though man!
Hope you get it soon!
Yup, I get front shuv s the same way, pushing it forward tweaked wise.
Thanks. I've been trying to learn them and this helped me understand it a bit more.
hey man like every time i do a hardflip that goes upward i cant keep my backfoot up? i have the varial flip looking hardflip on lock
Thank you this is the most detailed video I seen so far you have gotten my sub
That kickflip and the hardflip where pretty steze it was stupid good 👍👍👍 awsome job bro
You do Hardflips so high and nice!!!
I think you're sliding your foot forward like an olllie or kickflip. The best way to feel this trick out is to just pop and push like he said with your back foot and just leave your front foot right where he says to leave it and you'll feel the trick start.

This is a really good vid bro! Definately one of the best hardflip how to vids i have seen! i plan to land one today!!!!
Thanks for the kind words! :D
I wish you luck man!

how do i over come my fears and hop over the board im scared of hitting my balls i can always form them but sometimes it goes higher than what i expect and im too scared to jump over it

lol i learned how to jump over it i just cant manage to put my front foot on it
ah that's good; does the board go behind you when you do hardflips or is the problem that your front foot is below the board when you do them?
Man ijust saw your videos in less than an hour and i learned alit! Thanks bro subscribed!
This vid helped me a lot i attempted to learn hardflips starting today and i was already able to stomp one down but my back foot came off :[ but i need to figure out how i can get the flick more consistent because most the time im either flinging the board in front of me or im doing a kickflip on accident but once i get the flick right there is a nice hardflip motion with me just needing to be able to catch and land on the board
Ur trick tips are so helpfu
great trick tip, really helpful
Ok I'll try it thanks
I think this is just one of those tricks I'll never learn lol I just have a mental block, I do for heel flips too, but I am slightly progressing with those.
thanks so much I could never get the board to flip now I can
I'm probably going to learn pressure hard flips first lol these are so hard
Very detailed. Should help
woowwww this whole time i have been trying to do Frontside shuvit + Kickflip
Thank you very much!
-kind regards
Thanks Mike, Your video helped me a lot! :)
Thank you this has helped so much I have got the rotation down in less than 2 hours :)
Awesome to hear the progression dude!
Keep it up and you'll have it in no time =]
Thanks! I'll work on that the next time i skate!
I don't put it on the ground immediatly, but I can't keep it up the whole time my board does the motion.

I'm gonna start calling the hardflip the "Cheap Vasectomy" haha
this is the most amazing and helpful tutorial for a hardflip I've ever seen.
do you have one for backside 360 ollies? or frontside?
I'm not sure which one to learn...I'm weird. I can backside flip but not frontside flip...I can frontside 180 but not backside....
I can almost backside 360 but nowhere near frontside 360.....
sick board
Stop making such awesome tutorials I keep beating my friends at games of skate and have made them cry many a times....I hope your satisfied you cruel cruel man.
maybe thats why i kept messin them up back when i was learning them. i think to myself: backfoot do front shuv and front foot u flick completely out. and i hardly even got them fully. maybe thats why.. like the tuts mike..
nice vid man, cheers
Ok so I did what u said and now I just need help with getting my front foot out of the way
Ive got the motion with me, its just that usually, as I jump and pickup my back foot, my back foot accidentally taps or gets the board and either get a shinner on that leg, or land the board upside down. Its really weird but in first person, I feel like I will get the motion, but just end up with hardflip fails, some times I do land it though
thanks dude you realy help me
I have my hardflips perfectly verticals but ever since I switched board sizes it’s been difficult
I can get the rotation and land with one foot . But when I go for two feet it ends up going 90 degrees. (I do them less vertical and more like the varial way)
Thanks alot! Good tut
thanks!
I was waiting for someone to look out of that window in the top right.
Now I can land it thanks
5:06 Oh shit this reminds me: many years ago I tried a heelflip...and I got the board vertical right on my gooch and I was so short I landed on it and kind of sat there for a second before I fell over. Didn't try another heelflip for a long time after that, heh.

you cant half commit or you end up nutting yourself. its like doing a backflip, if you are not going 100%, you will probably mess up.
(at least while learning)
its funny. i was formimg these and tre's just for fun and i actually got close to landing one of these haha
Yes I usually land below the board
Ok, I'll go out and try it later today :D Thanks man!
I'll give em a try like that man and see if it works aha cheers :)
Hi there mike! Could you please make a bs 360 ollie tutorial?
I have a problem with my hardflips, i get the flick down just fine, board does the full motion and i can land it with my front foot, but I just seem to instantly put down my back foot... If I focus on really jumping with my back foot, I can't get the full motion of my board. I've noticed that I have a different placement of my back foot, I put both my feet parallel. I've tought that might be the reason why I can't seem to land them, because I think I have my shoulders twisted too much see part 2
Ok thanks bro
Your trick tips are amazing! Thanks Mike im so close!
When I try the trick and commit... Then I don't get the right flip at all.. But if I do it a bit in front of me and not commit.... Then It flips good
Thanks dog, I'll try it tomorrow!
wow great video, thanks for the tips, this has been a very difficult trick!
I can sometimes stick them up a bank, but the board spins way too slow to be able to do them on flat. Any suggestions?
When I try to jump and bend my legs to maneuver out very high and can not hit or sometimes I jump maneuver makes the wrong move!
