Tips: Heelflip

Heelflips are similar to kickflips except that it is the heel of your front foot that flicks the board over. Heelflips and kickflips can be done along the ground or off a drop.

Step 1: Set-up as if you were performing a kickflip but one crucial difference. Get the toes of your front foot hanging just a little off the edge of your board.
Step 2: Keeping your body straight and holding your head over the board, pop an ollie. jump and keep your body directly over your board.
Step 3: Your front foot kicks diagonally off the board. Its heel catches the front edge of the deck so that it spins over.
Step 4: Lift both legs to give your board room to flip over. As soon as you see the top of the deck reappear, get your feet back down on the deck.
Step 5: With your feet on the board, push it down and land. Bend your knees slightly to absorb the landing and ride away.

KEEP THE BOARD RIGHT UNDER YOUR BODY
