no, a hardflip spins frontside. Some people do frontside flips in a way that could be described as a hardflip sexchange though. Those are commonly referred to as muska flips [VIDEO]

Chad Muska was known for doing hardflips and frontside flips this way. The skateboard community seems kind of divided on it. I know I think it looks cool, others think "wtf isn't that just a front shuv" Here's Jimmy Carlin doing fronside flip "muska flips" [VIDEO] the first one definitely looks like a front shuv w/ a body varial in the same direction.

Those are usually pressure flips, which would trip you up if you're trying to flick them. [VIDEO]

I mean my understanding is it's essentially a fs flip. Jimmy Carlin Muska flip [VIDEO] Jaws illusion flip [VIDEO] Random fs flip vs Muska [VIDEO] Again not sure the proper name for the trick if you don't do a body varial, but I'm pretty sure it ain't Muska/illusion.
