I've been skateboarding for many years

And today I'm going to teach you how to do a hard flip

You can put your wheels in a crack if you want to but you don't have to

I'm just going to do it for the purpose of showing you the foot position here

So you see my front foot is turned almost at a 90 degree angle

So it's almost straight up on the board

And my back foot is off on the tail but it's way off to the back of the side

And on this trick you're going to be kind of on the ball of your feet

On both feet. You can see how my front foot is propped up, turned a lot

And my back foot is propped up on the edge as well

Because your back foot is going to shove forward

And your front foot, like I just showed you there

Is going to shove off the side causing the flip

This is a bit of an awkward foot position

Because you have to get your front foot out of the way

So your board can flip around

So here's another show of how the board is going to turn in the air

You're going to catch it with your front foot and then land

And here's a couple ways that you can practice

So a good way to practice this trick is just to practice flipping the board

And stepping off with your back foot and letting your front foot stay on there

And of course the more you practice the flick of the board

Before you actually start committing, the better

You'll just get more used to it

The hardest part of this trick is actually

Just getting your front foot out of the way

That's why I put my foot so straight like that

Because I can flick it with my toe

But I can still get my front foot off the side enough

To get it out of the way of the board and let the board spin

So with your back foot you're going to do a front shove motion

A front sweep and with your front foot

You're just going to do the same kind of kick flip motion

But you're going to have your foot very straight

And like I said, it's just to get that front foot out of the way

The board will flip rather easily

Because your back foot is shoving the board right into

Your toe of your front foot

So yeah, here's another view of it straight on

And then when it pops around, you can practice the catch

As well while stepping off

When it pops around, you're going to catch it with your front foot

While it's still in the air

And then just put both feet down

I know you guys can get this one. It does take a lot of practice

But you guys will get it down, I'm sure of that

If you don't have your kickflips or your heelflips or your 180s

Some of your basic tricks down

I definitely recommend this video here: Skateboarding Made Simple

I put a ton of work into it. It's 50 minutes long

I know you're going to like it
