Hospital Flip
The Half-Flip Illusion
A Hospital Flip is a trick where the board is pushed through a half-kickflip motion, then brought back under the feet with the front foot. It looks like the board is being guided through a flip, creating a unique and stylish effect.

Pop and Half-Flip
Pop the tail and initiate a half-kickflip. Your front foot should push the board so it flips halfway.
Guide it Back
Instead of letting the board complete the flip, use your front foot to catch the edge of the board and guide it back under your feet.
Land
Place your feet back on the board and land.
Golden Tip!
The key is the motion of the front foot. It's not a flick, but a push and then a pull. Think of it as drawing a small circle with your foot.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
Board does a full kickflip: You are flicking too hard. It should be a gentle push.
Losing the board: You are not guiding it back properly. Keep your front foot connected to the board.
Board doesn't come back under you: You need to pull the board back towards you with your front foot.
