How to Perform a 360 Hardflip
Doing a 360 hardflip requires the right approach and lots of practice. Here is something to help you out.
- The right foot should be positioned on the skateboard just like in the ollie. The left foot should be placed at the center, on the left edge. Placing this foot vertically is recommended to perform the trick properly.
- While the board is in motion, one should first perform an ollie as explained above.
- The 360 hardflip requires the left foot to be kicked on the concave edge of the left side. The result of this kicking action is that the board flips around.
- The board has to flip and spin simultaneously. Therefore, while kicking the left edge with the left leg, the right leg should also be slammed down on the rear edge of the board.
- These two actions lead to flipping and spinning at the same time. The two actions mentioned above should be performed very quickly in order to get the act right.
- The board should be given enough space to spin and flip. For this to happen smoothly, both the left and right legs need to be lifted high enough.
- Reflexes and enough practice are the most important things to master the trick.
- As the board spins and flips, one should be able to catch it (land on it) quickly from the front. Stomping hard on the board helps in landing properly.
- Jumping high enough is the key to performing a smooth and clean hardflip.
