Heelflip skateboard trick tip

The following trick tip will show you how to Heelflip. Reading this trick tip is just the first step to learn the Heelflip, but know that you'll need lots of practise to land it.

The heelflip is very similar to the kickflip. If you can kickflip, you'll still have to practise a little bit, but it won't be difficult. I suggest you start with the kickflip, but it's not necessary.

Now take a good look at the starting position and especially the front foot position.



Pop the board by pushing your back foot on the tail. Slide your front foot up the board towards the toe side of the nose. Your heel should make the board flip.

Your board should flip the other way than it would flip with a kickflip. Try to stay above the board.

When the flip is completed, catch it in the air. Try to get both your feet on it and land the trick. Bend your knees for the impact.

Variations: Flip harder and you can do a double heelflip!
