Gingersnap
also known as: Hang Ten Flip
Sign in to add this trick to your list.
Shown for a regular-footed rider riding nollie. Teal ring + arrow = the rider's facing direction; teal band = the tail; a dot is where a hand holds the board - bright yellow for the front hand, amber for the back one, which is the whole difference between a mute and an indy. Board and rider rotate independently - each follows its own component. Drag to orbit.
How it works
From a hang ten - both feet on the nose in a nose manual - the rider pops down on the nose, which sends the board through a nollie hardflip motion, travelling vertically between the legs before landing back the normal way up. Popping down from a position already over the nose is what makes it a pressure trick: there is no room to flick, so the flip is levered out of the deck.
Step by step
- Roll into a hang ten with both feet up on the nose.
- Pop down hard on the nose from that position.
- Let the board come up vertically between your legs, hardflip-style.
- Track it through the legs as it rotates.
- Land back on the board the normal way up and ride away.
