Paulino Caracuas It took like 2 minutes after watching this video, but I tried to do it on my own about 2-3 months before this video was uploaded and got close a lot of times. But this video is all you need to land your first heelflip. Hope this helps!
This is prolly one of the best heel flip tutorials ever. I’ve landed it before but wanna get it consistently rather than every like 20th attempt. The flick after the pop was so key and I ended up learning that myself from slo mo lol. Either way great vid this helped a lot.
I've been trying heel flip for most of quarantine. This tutorial is different then any other... and within 5 minutes of trying with the new foot positioning and timing I landed! Thank you!❤
Oh wow! i'm really glad it helped you. Sometimes its something really small holding you back that you arent even thinking about when you are trying the trick. Thanks for your support!
Omg finally someone talking about the heel not being involved, I recently learned this trick and I was so confused as to why everyone has there toes hanging off. I fully flick it with my toes
I’ve had heelflips for years, but occasionally lose them with a new deck until muscle memory comes back through. Not good enough. This is the best heelflip trick guide I’ve seen on RUclips, as it addresses the common misconception of hanging your toes off of the board. Very nice man, thank you for taking the time to make this. To be honest, I’ve never thought about the “preflick” curl like you’ve described. As a first time viewer of your channel, I am impressed, and am excited to see what else you have available. As well, I’m excited to get my heelflips back tomorrow, no more excuses. Thanks man!
I love that the footage you show for first heelflips isn't just young kids. That definitely helps to remind us that you can learn to skateboard at pretty much any age!
This was the first flip trick I learnt. Which was back December. I then lost the ability to do for 5/6 months. Apparently it was because I forgot to pop then flick (Tried doing it at the same time). Thanks to this video I got it back pretty much. 👌👍
Started skating at age 45...and that was only a couple months ago. This video didn’t solve all my problems, but it did reinforce some of my suspicions and give me clues for moving forward with my education. Thanks.
Mi amigo !! Hoy me compre mi tabla , hace mas de 20 años fui skate , ahora a mis 38 años comenzare a patinar desde cero , !! Mirare todos tus videos para aprender !! Muchas gracias por compartir tu conocimiento 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
ive been super inconsistent with heelflips and have lost them many times, hopefully this video helps. the tips for hangtime, jumping and the flick definitely helped remind and point out flaws
Excellent video! I agree 100% that you need to be comfortable riding on your board and have a clean Ollie prior to trying this trick. It will help you progress much more quickly!
I know this video is kinda old but this is my only reference to learning kickflips. I’m just getting them and your trick tips are helping other ppl at the park perfect their heelflips. So big ups to you man!!
I've been watching every other tutorials out there and yours is by far the best ! This is not confortable to have the toes hanging in front. I'm going to try it at my next session. Thanks !
I’ve grown so accustomed to doing them with my heel and flicking straight. However, I found that I rocket flip just about every time and they are not coming off the ground much. I have a pretty good kickflip and I like the idea of treating this trick just like a kickflip essentially. I find that many people who have a great heelflip follow this method. I’m going to try to learn it through this method.
About to head to the park with the skate homie soon to try Heelflips again. I think I’ll be able to land it if I can get the flick consistent. She motivates me to commit, so hopefully today is the day
This was an amazing tutorial video for heelflips. I've always had trouble with heelflips. I've landed a few, but it's definitely one of my most inconsistent tricks. This video really showed the foot placement and the timing and foundation of the trick. Really broke down the components and was a really well put together video. Thank you so much for making this video, you have earned yourself a new subscriber. Very nicely done, thank you
you and sean brown are the two i go to for support. your "jump" advice helped get my kickflip and now I'm working on my heelflip. please give me tips on a front shuv!!!
Damn i never thought I’d get to this point but I landed my first ollie after 9 months of skateboarding a week ago and I finally did my first heel flip thx man
I came upon your channel for the first time today. Awesome!!! I love how you have added markers to point in the video. One of the best organized and thought out tutorials Ive seen. Thank you!
Thanks for the most helpful and in depth tutorial, I hope with these added tips I can land my heel flips. I’m having trouble with my back foot landing on the board. I can flick it nice and over flip it but my back foot wants to plant on the ground immediately
This is one of the most common things I hear with most tricks. It takes some effort to make yourself pull your back leg up. I always say to pop and pull your knee up towards your chest to get it back above the board. Let me know when you land it.
This tutorial has really helped me a lot! I've been able to do heelflips but not consistently. The part about not hang the toes to a side and flicking it with the pinky really got my rotation and the board centered under me. Thanks to you I'm sure this will be as consistent as my ollies soon. Thanks a million. /Robert
New to the channel an definitely subbed! You're a great teacher bro I feel like I'm definitely gonna land this illusive heelflip now. Never could before as a teen but I'm 33 now back to pushing after 17 year break an gettin my grove back..appreciate the help my dude!
That is awesome that you are getting back into it! I am also 33, belive it or not. so don't let the age hold you back. I took a break for a while too. Many more videos on the way.
@@Skiddyskates Awesome bro bring on that great content! I'm coming to find our older bodies are definitely less forgiving than before but feels like I'm progressing way faster than when I was younger..
thanks for the advice man im getting closer and closer just subbed, im Also going to be making a time lapse type of video of me trying to land a heelflip on my channel.
I finally found people to skate with today but they’re a lot better than me so I don’t think they’ll stick around but if I learn these and kickflips I think I’ll be good enough for them👍🏽
Hopefully they will still accept you either way. They were on your level at some point, keep that in mind. Its really good to skate with people better than you. It will help you progress much faster!
Heelflips are my only flip trick. However, I can only do them on a bank to fakie. I haven't landed it on flat or up the bank yet. I just keep putting the work it.
@@Skiddyskates yes. I have been a Powell flight deck guy for 2 years. The VX is a very different shape under feet. It is taking me some time to figure it out.
I hang my toes off the end and it works just fine. Often times, if I don’t do that, then I can’t get the board to rotate. But, your explanation makes sense, I’ll try to do it that way too to see how it feels.
Hanging your toes off works for sure! I think you can balance better and get more pop with my setup. Doing them with your foot hanging off is just fine. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been skating for 4 months now and I got ollies, shove, front shove, FS 180, and now I’m trying to learn heelflip. Should I keep trying heelflip or learn more basic tricks??? A reply would be greatly appreciated
You can try heelflips or kickflips. They are the most basic flip tricks. I would suggest trying both and then really go for the one that feels more comfortable to you.
@@Skiddyskates thanks man! Im definitely doing heelflips because for some reason they are way more comfortable then kickflips. What I decided to do is learn the kick/heel first and then go over the foundational tricks again. By the way this video really helped me
Try to flick the heelflip and jump behind it. This is a trick I used when I was learning because I was having the same issue. It is kind of awkward but if you can do it a few times it will help you understand how to land it.
It sounds like you might be jumping forward without realizing it. Try trying to land on the other side of the board. If you can manage to do that then you will be able to land it for sure.
In addition to his response, make sure you’re doing a quick clean flick. If you do it slow or without a snap this can cause your board to be pushed back slightly as you’re not getting your front foot out of the way quickly enough.
@@Skiddyskates I did yeah! But I have a problem: the heelflip tends to be very rocketed and I get credit carded a lot on this trick. What do you think I should do to perfect it?
After you get heelflips down check out my How to Varial Heelflip video here: ruclips.net/video/0AHI04PjFXs/видео.html
Skidish, what's the model of this adidas shoes you are using in the video? Thanks for the great videos on the channel!

I'm surprised people don't talk about it more. I think it is fine to hang your foot off, It just makes the trick much harder.
Theres a benefit tho because you it rips the side of your shoe less

trying to learn them switch this has helped me a lot
For some reason people love doing heelflips switch. I can do them but they are more fun to me when i'm in my normal stance. Thanks for watching.
Any tips for when the board goes behind you?
Try to flick the heelflip and jump behind it. This is a trick I used when I was learning because I was having the same issue. It is kind of awkward but if you can do it a few times it will help you understand how to land it.
I have a hard time keeping the board under me it tends to go behind me. What do you recommend?
It sounds like you might be jumping forward without realizing it. Try trying to land on the other side of the board. If you can manage to do that then you will be able to land it for sure.
In addition to his response, make sure you’re doing a quick clean flick. If you do it slow or without a snap this can cause your board to be pushed back slightly as you’re not getting your front foot out of the way quickly enough.
