- Can an Average Skater Learn to Heelflip like Jamie Foy? Having a beast heelflip like Jamie Foy is very rare. Most skaters really struggle to make this trick level out proper even top pros struggle dipping their heel flips so Last night I scoured the Internet looking for every clip I could find of Jamie Foy doing a heelflip so that I could analyze his technique and show you guys what he’s doing and then test and see if an average skater like you or me can actually use his techniques to improve our own heel flips.
Jamie got some serious training of heelflip master Neen
I think in an interview he literally said he watched Neen do them over and over. It definitely shows
I know you’re going off of an incline in this one, but your pop/jump already looks much better. Both the kickflip and heelflip were solid.
No bullshit that last heelflip was damn good brother. One of the best tricks iv seen you do on this channel
I would hold on to two bars left and right and would use this to practice my fliccs such as hard flips too and it definitely gets you more confident.
You are overthinking it. His hips and front foot don't actually move forward. His hips stay over the bolts, and his flick foot does kick straight out with his heel.... if you look at it in slow mo, he stays centered over the board/bolts and kicks straight out with the heel/bottom of the foot exposed. It looks like he moves forward because of the amazing pop he gets. (Like a big ollie) So, pretty much, pop hard in the back pocket and kick straight with your heel, and the board will follow. If you do this, your feet will naturally get out of the way, and it will feel like the board sucks up to your feet, then stomp it....
So, long story short. Pop a nice ollie with the back foot in the back pocket. Once you get to or right before you get the top of your ollie, kick your flick foot/heel straight out or kinda towards the nose, and it will feel amazing!! It's one of the best feeling tricks I've got in my bag!!
bro to watch you since you started this channel and see your dedication and improvement has been a riiiide. That heelflip was cleeeeeean.
Thank you dude! Hope I can keep it going!
Can you also do a video on Shane O Neill's dipped Kickflip, he does a really good one over a pryamid in one of his videos
All about the flick
I agree, i always preferred heels to kicks, so stylish
Year late. But i think whats most important to remember that technique is more about your personal anatomy and physiology. How long your legs are. How wideset your hips are. What range if motion is natural for you. How "springy" you are. Are you naturally bow-legged or knock-kneed, etc etc etc. Everyones body wants to move slightly differently. You can practice how someone else does something for months, but it will never truly end up looking or feeling the same.
Some people can tuck their leg way forward and rotate their ankle, giving that "ninja kick". Other people tuck it upward and their ankle doesnt rotate towards the front of their body.
There's few pro that awesome at heelflip like Lindsay Robertson, Neen William, and Jake Hayes. But I think the best version comes from Jamie Foy
Keep popsicleling myself on heelflips. Been 15 years since I’ve skated but idk what I’m doing wrong. Video was great help! Learn to land with front foot right after this video but still having some popsicles… need help lol
Lead with that knee🔑
Ugh heelflips…. Always had a love hate relationship with them, was either nailing them better than my kickflips or could barley flip them every other day lol.
I can’t kickflip for shit but heelflips came easy to me
Maybe practice the ninja kicks first
I was doing heel flips well and I lost them but yeah I heel flip with the side of my shoe like he does.
I think I could actually teach you the heely hack
Are you gonna keep the dunk shorts going?
Thank you for rocking the merch! 🔥🦇 now ima practice heel flippers 😌
Thanks for hooking it up!
Google Lindsay Robertson, he use to skate for mystery back when they were a secondary company to zero. That guy paved the way for ppl like Jamie foy and neen Williams
You are definitely right about that flick bro
I can see the improvement in your kickflips, they're getting cleaner and cleaner
It looks almost as if he brings his shoulders inwards as he loads up.
Idk if it’s just me, but i think Yuto has a nice heel flip, any chance you can do a video on his heel flips? Anyways, great video as always !
I can do heelflips just like him.
Heelflips were the first trick I learned. Kickflips always felt unnatural to me
No one feels kickflips natural at first because you have to practice the muscle memory unlike with heelflips
@@ChrisLKF yeah. Would you say a kickflip flick requires more control/finesse that a heelflip flick ? That’s how it feels to me atleast. When I first learned to kickflip I mobbed them. Kick down off the side. It was really hard to break outta that muscle memory. I’m getting proper flick through the board now. But it still hard to find that sweet spot of catching too much of the nose and flinging it forward or sometimes wrapping it and having it swing around and hit me in the shin 😆
@ponyboy7825 bro said i aint reading allat 💀
great video. was not expecting that great of a heel flip and you got beauty good job
great vid! keep up w the good content
That heelflip was beast
thats man!
It's easy as fuck you just have more coordination
the flip trick content is getting dry
The best heelflip on the planet is Marc Johnson..if you had ever seen it in the flesh when he he was in his prime you would understand how it made a laughing stock of the modern generation.
