how to do a hardflip on a skateboard?
460051
me to but what I have learned the past few days is not to focus so much of the kickflip motion. After you pop the board straight up just roll your flip foot casually of the side of the board, not hard. The initial pop in between your legs is where the energy needs to be. I hope this helps its hard to explain one of the hardest flip tricks through a computer. Good luck

alright. so first you stand near the back of the board with both feet. with your back foot, you pop the tail down and jump right away. with your front foot, slide it up to level the board out. then you will land on all fours. its gonna take a longgg time to get it. took me almost a month. but once you get the hang of it, play with where you put your feet and all of that; get comfortable with the ollie.

Joey H. answer is good.\nI have some personal tips to share with you...\n1. The best option is to start with low jumps and gain balance and 'sense' of 'air time'.\n2. When the board is 'off' the jump, make sure your balance is just in the middle (both on the length and the width). Most people crash of their side or back at the beginning... due to body freezing in the air. You should make little adjustments in order to keep the board align.\n3. The most important aspect is to think about your knees as your shock absorbers. On your first jumps, bent them more then you think you should.\n4. Try to practice on powder :)\n5. Good luck!

sometimes i just go fast on the skateboard and when im going fast at the same time and I push down a little hard and then try to do a ollie or if this does not work do this:\nEvery trick in skateboarding owes a large debt to the grandfather and basic building block of all moves, the ollie. The idea is simple: just get rolling and jump with the skateboard under foot, after that, the variations are endless. You have the kickflip, the shove-it, the nollie, the impossible, and a myriad of grabs, but there’s just one problem. It’s not quite as easy as it may seem, and if you have gone through skateboarding 101 with the aid of the newest hit video game, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, you may be in for a rude awakening. \n\n\nThe ollie is a simple trick, but it does take a long time to master. The first thing that you may want to keep in mind is that it takes a serious toll upon your unsuspecting footwear. There are special shoes made for skateboarding that are designed with extra padding to compensate for the friction created by sliding your foot along the griptape (a sandpaper like material found on top of any serious skateboard). You may want to get a pair, but they tend to be a bit pricey. It is also a good idea to start off on gravel or some other surface that doesn’t allow the board to move around much. You should work up to performing an ollie while moving after you have it perfected in this way. \n\n\n \nThe first step is to place your feet properly upon the skateboard. There are two typical stances in skateboarding. When your left foot is at the back, you are skating "goofy-footed", and when your right foot is at the back, you are said to be skating "regular". Either way is just as good; all that matters is what comes more comfortable and natural to you. You back foot should be on the tail at the point right before it hangs off the edge, and your front foot should be about halfway down the skateboard. You may feel a little unbalanced like this, but it will become easier with time. \n\n\nNext, you must crouch down slightly, bending at the knees (you can put your hands out slightly to help keep your balance). The basic ollie involves a quick shift in balance. Start off leaning back with a strong push down upon the tail so it touches the ground. Just as quickly as you have done that, jump up while sliding your front foot up towards the nose or front of the skateboard. Your board will be at an angle by now. The last part involves pushing down with your front foot to level out the board. The higher you jump, the higher your ollie will be. You must do all these steps in one single fluid motion, and this should result in a snapping of your board upon the ground causing it to jump up into the air underneath your feet. That’s all there is to it. \n\n\nIt may sound simple, but learning how to ollie takes a very long time – usually as much as six months to learn properly. After you perfect the ollie, you can work on height by stacking other skateboards (or anything else) and jumping them. Once you perfect this all-important trick, the world of skateboarding will be entirely open to you. All it takes is a good deck and a whole lot of determination!

I learned by \n1. Practicing just turning my board 180 degrees\n2. Then lifting the front edge of the board as I turned\n3. And then finally by going off a bump and jumping as I began to turn.   \n\nAbout.com has good information on basic tricks- here is what they say:\n\n1.   Ride straight at a small bump or roller with the base of your board flat.\n\n2.   Stay flat-based until you're just about to take off.\n\n3.   At the lip of the jump, spring off of your toes.\n\n4.   Rotate slowly because you're only going to spin 180 degrees.\n\n5.   Look down between your legs to spot your landing.\n\n6.   Let go of your grab and extend your legs for the landing.\n\n7.   As you absorb the landing, continue looking uphill for just a second until your board is firmly planted. Then turn and ride away smoothly.\n\n(I deleted a step- they threw in an Indy grab...)\n\nAlso, check out some of their other basic trick instructions- they're pretty good!

Just try to jump simultaneously while you flip the board, and try to make the board flip right below you, and try to jump right over it, like pull your feet right back over the board. You can improve that with the practice. Also, by the way, a tip to do that, I mean, to keep the board right below you and yourself over it, is to lean a bit back to the direction of the tail, and put most  of  your weight there, before you do the flip. Like don't lean too much and lose your balance, it's just that you have to put your weight more over the tail, and try to jump without moving to any side, so as that you won't send the board away from you. It's kind of confusing, I hope this helps anyways. Good luck dude.

OK, stand on the board, and don't fall off.\n\nKick with your dominant foot to propel yourself.\n\nRemember though, don't fall off.

set up with your front foot; it should be a few inches from the back bolts of the front truck, get a good amount of speed, smash the tail into the ground and do the highest ninja kick you can, let the board flip under you, catch w/ your feet or hand, keep it the catch (unless you are grabbing it, release it after catching it) and land. \n\nI don't know it sounds pretty weird lol\n\nI hope you get it now!!! :)

Make sure to push your front foot off the board all the way; simialar to a bronco, but between the nose and the side of the board. this will also get your kflips higher

bend your knees, jump a little, slide that front foot, jump off with the back, bend your knees in mid air, land on the truck and bend your knees once again.-here are some common problems people have when trying to ollie, and some ideas that might help you:\n\nChickenfoot\nThis is where you pop up into the air, but when you land, for some reason one of your feet always seems to land on the ground. The most common reason for this is that you don’t feel safe, and you are pulling one foot out to catch yourself. You might not even be aware of it. The best way to deal with this problem is to focus on keeping that foot on the board. Punch it if you have to. Imagine it nailed to the board. Be aware that you are catching yourself, and just stop doing it. If that doesn't work, then you can see which foot stays on the board, and next time focus on keeping that foot on and let the other foot come off. Then, try both.\n\nLow Ollies\nThis can happen for a lot of reasons, but the biggest one is that you are not crouching low enough before your ollie, and not pulling your feet high enough after you jump. When you crouch down, try and touch the ground. When you jump, try to hit yourself in the chest with your knees. Both knees. Don’t worry about falling. That'll happen sometimes – that’s just part of skateboarding.\n\nLosing Your Board in Midair\nSometimes skaters lose thier boards in mid air while ollying. If this happens to you, you may be kicking the board away while in the air, or taking your feet off of your board. Try and make sure to keep yourself and your feet above the skateboard.

When i was little and got my first skateboard for christmas, i could not stand up and push so i would get on my knees and push around and steer.  I don't think you need to do this.\n\nI would find a parking lot that maybe has some minor hills and just start to experiment.  You need to figure out what feels comfortable to you, are you regular or goofy footed?  Do you like your foot towards the front of the skateboard or to the back? (you have more control if you place your foot toward the front).\n\nAlso try to tick tac, thats when you push on the tail and bring the front of the board to the left and right.  This can help you gain momentum and is a good way to learn control.  Remember that girls have a lower center of balance so use this to your advantage and bend your knees and try to feel the contour of the board and the concrete.  Don't fight the board and be patient.\n\nSlowly learn the basics until you feel comfortable enough to go fast and ollie.\n\nYou might ask a friend of yours that skates to show you some stuff, its easier if someone is there to guide you through this learning stage.\n\nIf you fall you must not give up...

well, did u did it the right way? ok here's a tip if you want to jump. this trick is called an "ollie." an "ollie" is by taping the end of the board off the ground or on a ramp. by doing this you well have one foot by the tail of the board and the other foot in the middle of the board. also, bend ur knee while doing this trick also. ok since u got the position, go do it. don't do it while ur moving because this made cause injuries. ok get balance on the board while doing this. tap the tail of the board and jump a little bit and that will make the "ollie." if u want to make a flip. i'll tell u this is complicated to do. what kind of flip do u want any way? because the "ollie" the the easiest trick. do u want me to teach u how because i'm been skating for 1 year and 5 months and i'm a pro. it's easily if u r confidante on doing it and hangin out with the pros and also lookin up on the internet for tricks help.
