How to Do a Hardflip on a Skateboard

  1. Be able to do kickflips and frontside pop shove-its adequately before attempting this trick.
  2. Place you rear foot on the tip of the tail, like you would for an ollie, but slightly closer to the heelside.
  3. Your front foot should have the same angle as you normally would have it for a kickflip, but it may help to move your front foot slightly closer towards the middle of the board.
  4. Face your torso about 45 degrees away from the nose.
  5. When you pop, pop the rear of the board as hard as you can.
  6. Your front foot should make a kickflip motion, except it requires significantly more effort this time.
  7. You need to jump straight up almost as hard as you can.
  8. Catch the board with your front foot, and bring your rear foot back in.
  9. Land and roll away.
