I think it'd be cool to see a video on skate posture/form. How weight distribution, foot placement, upper body effects tricks in specific ways. Like a trick tip on how to fix every trick on your own. I think you'd be able to explain that well. Hopefully, that makes sense.
This couldn’t have came at a better time, board was flying behind me and was getting so pissed I was just gonna say forget it and try tre flips, the shoulders and flick direction tip helped landed the cleanest heel flip ever today, thank you dude
Your tutorials are the best on RUclips. Just wanted you to know that. I love how relaxed and comprehensive they are, and your slow motion videos of personal reps help me to believe that I can do it too one day. Thanks for the content.
Wow bro u deserve so much more you really give me an understanding and a run down of things going wrong and what I need to fix thank you keep up the greatness
Thank you very much. I struggle with my weight distribution and have to remember to lean back, in my head I try to force my whole body to go back. I also try to pop the tail as hard as I can and it seems to help. The main issue is still the right timing of all the moves. Your slowmotions help a lot. Beautifull tuto! Much repect!
My skate progression is going rocket fast since i started watching your videos couple days ago fine tips clearly explained i corrected many mistakes Thanks Dude commitment is the key as you said so true
before every session i look one video of your channel, then i go out and try what is told me. result is way more solid flips, shuvs, varials. And i love what you say about commitment.
It's worth mentioning that there is a second completely different technique for heelflips than the one demonstrated here whereby you flick with your pinky toe and not your heel. Some people refer to that technique as the Neen Williams heelflip. He has a berrics video where he explains it. I find that technique allows for a lot more control of the flip and fewer rocket heelflips.
Yesterday was my first day trying to heelflip at the park as I have been doing only scoop tricks for a couple of months. Trust me I can heel flip the board with not much of a stress although I can’t land and roll away on my board after the flip but when you mentioned about the commitment that people lack by just making a habit of flipping the board without committing to landing it, I picturized myself so hard that I couldn’t help but stick to the points you mentioned here in this vid. I’ll be back here with my feedback once I land it while rolling. Thanks a lot Skate Hacks and sorry for my english if its not correct!
I've been skating for 10 years and this spring when the snow melted I couldn't heelflip anymore. I literally had no idea what was going wrong I've been skating long enough that I can usually self diagnose any issues, adjusting weight distribution, set-up, truck tightness, changing where/how I flick off and literally nothing made sense. Sometimes I could land them and other times I'd be totally hopeless. TODAY I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT! WHEN LEANING BACK YOU MUST STICK YOUR REAR END OUT FURTHER TO GET MORE WEIGHT BEHIND THE BOARD! THIS ALSO HELPS YOU SEE THE BOARD ROTATE UNDER YOU! before I was literally bending straight down to pop and trying to lean my shoulders back which would put my head behind my knees so I could hardly see the board rotate as well and making you land with your weight way to far forward and difficult to land.
I have them on banks to fakie but not on flat. The bank keeps my body aligned over the board and helps be flick up. I still have lots of work to do on flat.
Finally a RUclips tutorial that talks about where your weight should be. You did a much better job explain where to flick off the board that other tutorials do too 🤙🤙
I was basically throwing the ollie and at the apex of my height flicking straight out with heel, it was doing precisely what you showed, going behind me, can't wait to lab them tonight and maybe even add a trick to my bag.
Before watching this I would land on the graphic of my board or land a really gross looking one after 3 days off trying these tips I can land them almost every time thank you so much for this video
A year & a half ago I heelfliped the local 3 stair. Jacked up my left knee and haven’t landed one since. Thankfully I kept my kickflips but hopefully with this I can get my heels back 🙏🏽 Edit: I jacked up my knee from switch bs 180s, i landed the heel off the 3
Something I've noticed most heelflips have that people don't mention. The back foot is in the back pocket of your tail. That way the board kicks a bit forward on the pop.
I've been trying heelflips seriously for the past few days and manage to land with the board upside most of the time, just can't seem to get the full rotation
I’ve had trouble just simply catching the board for about 3 years straight. I’ve seen people land these in an hour yet all my progress on them stopped about 2 years ago.
I notice your trucks a fairly loose. Could you do an in-depth video about the pros and cons of skating loose and tight trucks and explain how it affects board maneuverability?
I have a problem alot of the time with heel and kick flip of straight missing the flick entirely, like I completely airball and my board either doesnt flip at all my my foot ghosts over the top or it gry a quarter or half flip. any tips on that? Would love to hear any feedback from anyone
I dont hang my toes off the board i actually kinda do the oppisite i have my big toe in the middle with my foot at a slight angle point towards the pocket im flicking my heel. I ride a 9 inch board rn so maybe thats why.
Learned My heels before My kickflips, but i lost them, and after this quarantine break i realized that . Is necessary for me to relearn the techniche since i hace the muscle memory no more. I'll correct My body distribution for the next time. Thanks a lot bro
My problem is everytime I skate I can land a couple in a day but then on a good amount they are behind me but when I lean back I cant even flick the board.

i was intensively thinking about this exact issue on my last session you're a nostradamus?
Einstein
This couldn’t have came at a better time, board was flying behind me and was getting so pissed I was just gonna say forget it and try tre flips, the shoulders and flick direction tip helped landed the cleanest heel flip ever today, thank you dude
You couldn't land heelflips and decided to practise 360 flips? lol...that's another mistake
@@alejandroperez5368 haha yeah right son, now my heelflips are mean and I've almost got tre flips on lock. you must watch braille too much
@@alejandroperez5368 Lmao it doesn’t really matter. I can tre flip but I can’t kickflip or Heelflip. People just have different learning curvesz
Dude exactly. You gotta retrain yourself to try and actually land on the board
Me rn
Easy hold on to something land it build that confidence do it without holding on or no wheels
Your tutorials are the best on RUclips. Just wanted you to know that. I love how relaxed and comprehensive they are, and your slow motion videos of personal reps help me to believe that I can do it too one day. Thanks for the content.

Thanks for these videos bro, you've helped me with almost all of the tricks I've learned thus far. Keep up the great work
your videos are by far the best trick tips videos out there. thanks man.
Thanks for this, seriously I've been thinking about trying heelflips more and this is immensely useful
The other thing I really struggle w is the timing. You gotta really wait for the pop
Love how you show us the trick all the time while teching so much helpful!

And i love what you say about commitment.
Love the vids man🤘🏾keep them coming! Much respect
Been having problems with heel flips for the past month the shoulders tip made it work out thanks dude
I literally love you for doing fundamentals in such a specific way like this
You really cover every area and every concern one might have, thanks dude
You always make the right video at the right time . THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME LAND IT

I remember the day i told myself today is the day. That tip really helps
Just when i needed this video. The third tip was really enlightening. It might just be the problem. Thank you!
u get it yet?
@@DavidKosa88 nah g i gave up likr a year ago
@@hongcesoo4358 damn
@@hongcesoo4358 🤣🤣🤣
I've been practicing this for 4 months but I finally landed my first heelflip today on my first try after this video:) Thank you so much!
This is probably one of the most useful tutorial Chanel’s I’ve seen
Just what I needed!🙏🏻 Thank you
Thanks for the best tutorials out there.
I def appreciate all your videos man. 🙏🏼

Thanks bro! The verbal walk throughs help a lot.
I followed in the footsteps and got my first one yesterday thanks!
his take on commitment is key!
Seeing the angle of your back foot really helped me. Nice one!
Quarantine is a great time to practice some flatground. Happy to see you here.
Great help, thank you!
after learning varial heels my normal heels got messed up, gonna try to keep this advice in mind
Thank you very much, my favorite skating channel and quite literally Skate HACKS.
Appreciate that bro keep grinding out here !!
Thx, dude! Landing my first one today 🖤🖤🖤
Hands down your tutorials are the best on youtube. I might land my first heelflip today and I‘ll dedicate it to you lol
itsArtNotAcr1me Did you landed it?
I‘m at work rn but as soon as I get home I‘m gonna try.
@@itsArtNotAcr1me did you land it now?
Wow that last point is spot on bro
2:40 that was exactly my problem. my board always turned forward. thx for advices.
I have them on banks to fakie but not on flat. The bank keeps my body aligned over the board and helps be flick up. I still have lots of work to do on flat.
Finally a RUclips tutorial that talks about where your weight should be. You did a much better job explain where to flick off the board that other tutorials do too 🤙🤙
tks u help me soo much on shoulders distribuicion
Great tips, man.
I needed this vid🛹came in clutch
THANK YOU! It's my dream to get really good at heelflips
Same bro
I was basically throwing the ollie and at the apex of my height flicking straight out with heel, it was doing precisely what you showed, going behind me, can't wait to lab them tonight and maybe even add a trick to my bag.
Exactly what I needed.
Awesome tutorial really helped thanks 😊
Before watching this I would land on the graphic of my board or land a really gross looking one after 3 days off trying these tips I can land them almost every time thank you so much for this video
I am agree on all points, I have solved my heelflip issue by centering my weight between my feet which was naturally on the front foot.
Thats what i asked my self yesterday.. nice video , thanks !
Hey man great tutorial, i love this pants, what kind are they I can see there volcrom but that model. Thanks
You’re the best bro, thank you, I was getting sooooo pised 💖
A year & a half ago I heelfliped the local 3 stair. Jacked up my left knee and haven’t landed one since. Thankfully I kept my kickflips but hopefully with this I can get my heels back 🙏🏽
Edit: I jacked up my knee from switch bs 180s, i landed the heel off the 3
you are really good bro how long have you been skating
i love this tutorial! Useful!
Thanks homie!
*Now my heelflip is good*
Bruh RUclips be bugging my phone bruhv . I was talking to a homie about my heelflips suck.. and kaboom a video on heelflips
Something I've noticed most heelflips have that people don't mention.
The back foot is in the back pocket of your tail. That way the board kicks a bit forward on the pop.
Yep! and helps to keep aligned
Hope to apply these to my switch heels
Thanks !
3:25 front foot toes hanging off does throw off weight distribution but i try to lean my front foot on my heel so it evens out
What's wrong with my heelflips:
Nothing. Because they don't exist...yet.
I've been trying heelflips seriously for the past few days and manage to land with the board upside most of the time, just can't seem to get the full rotation
Thank u so much dude! I apriete that :)
my front foot goes usually to my tail but my shoulsers are straight whit the board and sometimes when i land them my tail touches and drags the ground
watching this for my switch heels. idk why they’re harder than switch flips to me. i can regular heelflip perfectly
This ain’t just a skate video it’s a life lesson
I’ve had trouble just simply catching the board for about 3 years straight. I’ve seen people land these in an hour yet all my progress on them stopped about 2 years ago.
This was SO helpful I feel like I shouldn’t be getting this information for free lol
Thankyou, this helped a lot:))
dude everyone hates on skating slip on pros but they’re hands down my favorite shoe
Its cause theyre so easy to get on. Alsi other shoes are so hard to get on. I agree with you
thanks man, 🙏
There's so many different kinds of heelflips, so many different techniques and styles
I flick my heelflips like a kickflip and its way easier for doubles but is it possible to learn them on lock like that
3:59-4:40 is a brilliant lesson in self awareness and how to stay focused on learning. "Accountability" mmm yeah thats the stuff.
4:00 this is completely true and this is how i got stuck with back/front foot kickflips for a year
Thanks
I trust this video..you deserve my push the subcribe button and hit the notification bell
What deck are you riding..the shape looks great
What board are you riding in the video , I’m curious about that shape
I notice your trucks a fairly loose. Could you do an in-depth video about the pros and cons of skating loose and tight trucks and explain how it affects board maneuverability?
D S bruh just figure out what u like. And there are a bunch of other videos on this
I have a problem alot of the time with heel and kick flip of straight missing the flick entirely, like I completely airball and my board either doesnt flip at all my my foot ghosts over the top or it gry a quarter or half flip. any tips on that? Would love to hear any feedback from anyone
I dont hang my toes off the board i actually kinda do the oppisite i have my big toe in the middle with my foot at a slight angle point towards the pocket im flicking my heel. I ride a 9 inch board rn so maybe thats why.
Sick heelflip chief!
I can do heel flips but I front foot catch them since it’s easier to pop less
Any tip to make it fully rotate
Learned My heels before My kickflips, but i lost them, and after this quarantine break i realized that . Is necessary for me to relearn the techniche since i hace the muscle memory no more. I'll correct My body distribution for the next time. Thanks a lot bro
thank you i think the first one is my problem
My problem is everytime I skate I can land a couple in a day but then on a good amount they are behind me but when I lean back I cant even flick the board.
Bro thanks so much this gelped
is there any exercise i could do to let my back foot jump over the board?? because i can flip it but my back foot doesn't jump
