The Heelflip is probably one of the hardest tricks to do. (TIP: IF MALE, WEAR CUP DURING TRICK) most of the time, Mediocers can not do this trick. The Heel flip is like the harder variation of a KickFlip instaed of
- Set your feet up like you would for an ollie, but have your front foot off to the outside.
- pop your tail up and slide your foot off and kick the board with your heel so kind of like stomping down on the board with your heel. to the opposite way you would do a Kickflip.
- Just like with a Kickflip, you want to get our feet out of the way of the board so that it can spin freely. Take this moment to pull your front foot back up underneath you, and get ready to catch the skateboard. When heelflipping, the skateboard can spin pretty fast. It helps to be looking down and watching the board spin, but try to not lean forward.
- Just like with the Kickflip, make sure you stay level. If you lean too far forward - as in, toward your toes, you will tend to leave your skateboard behind you. Keep yourself level, and your weight over your skateboard.
- This is done just like with a kickflip. As you fall back toward the ground and land, bend your knees again. This is important! Bending your knees will help absorb the shock of landing on your skateboard, it will keep your knees from getting hurt from the impact, and keep you in control of your skateboard. bend your knees deeply as you land. Finally, just roll away. If this sounds simple, then great – get out there and practice! If this sounds too complicated, don’t worry. Just go slow, and take your time.
