For a hard flip, place your back foot on the tail and your front foot pointed somewhat forward near the heel edge. Hit the tail while sliding your front foot off of the board making it seem to come straight up at you. It will look like it is going to do a flip and land upside down, but with practice you will learn to make it perform a half-flip and land on its wheels. (You may want to try this without trying to land it the first couple of times.) At the same time, you will want to be rotating your body 90º in the frontside direction letting the board flip between your legs. When the board has finished rotating, rotate your body back to your normal stance and catch the board before it hits the ground. Land and ride away clean. (Sent in by: )
To do this trick, you must be excellent at frontside flip flips and you must have godlike ollies.
Place your feet like you would a frontside flip, but when you are doing it, Ollie THEN do the flip, making the frontside flip appear "late". This is where your Ollie skills come on handy, Ollie as high as you can, and, making sure you did the frontside flip, rotate your body 90* and land it! Sent in by:
Good Luck!
