THE LAZER FLIP
This is a hard trick and before being attempted i would reccomend getting these tricks down:
1.F/S 360 Shove it
2. Varial Heels
3. Heels
If you ahve these down very well, you're ready to go.
FOOT PLACEMENT
FRONT FOOT - Exactly like a varial heel! Your toes hanging off slightly with the ball of your foot on the edge of the board. About halfway on the deck. Make sure it's about half way or it will be hard to get the spin.
BACK FOOT - Like a Frontside flip. Your toes should be on the opposite edge of the tail as your front foot is on the deck. You will want your toes to be on the VERY edge of whatever edge of the tail your foot is on.
THE FLIP
It's very hard to do this.
What you will want to do is two things.
First, you will need to pop and scoop with your back foot your ABSOLUTE hardest to get the f/s 360 shuv it. This will be very difficult but when you dod it, make sure to suck your legs up as high as possible.
AT THE SAME TIME
You need to slide your font foot diagonally off the board in a heelflip manner. This will give the board the heelflipping motion.
The most important thing to remember here is to JUMP AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE so the board doesn't get caught in your legs.
THE CATCH
The catch for this is vrey simple.
You will catch the board with your front foot and just as it is being caught wih your front foot, stomp your back foot down so you can land the trick without the board flipping any more.
*** THE BOARD WILL ALMOST ALWAYS LAND BESIDE YOU SO AS YOU FLIP THE BOARD MAKE SURE TO JUMP IN THE DIRECTION WITH THE BOARD TO MAKE IT EASIER TO LAND ***
Trouble shooting
Problem - The board always gets caught in my legs!
Solution - Jump higher or suck up higher!
Problem - The board lands beside me
Soltuion - Make sure you jump with the board to put yourself at ease!
Problem - the board doesn't get the full heelflip
Solution - Be sure to slide your front foot off in a diagonal direction and not straight off!
HOPE THIS HELPS!

..just felt like posting it
Laserflip
that is just a nickname for the so called 360 heelflip, here are some more nicknames you should know, lazor flip, and 36o heel. Just like 360 flips basically nickname wise.
A laser flip is a 360 fs shovit and a heelflip. So what can you bring it down you may ask? Here is the answer you can bring it down stairs and gaps, handrails rare. Anything really you can ollie down or up you just have to have mad skills.
The concept of the laser flip is the skateboarder bends his knees low like right in a medium position unbends his knees and jumps up while hitting the tail and shoving the back foot foot fs 360. Bascily fs is the toe edge of the tail.
Once the skateboarder has done that he slides the front foot off and flicks it straight out casing the board to go 360 degrees fs with a heelflip. Now he catches this baby he looks for the logo side of his skateboard and brings both his feet down above it and waits to hit the ground and impacts by bending his knees once again. He makes sure the logo side he sees is right next the 360 degree mark case no one wants 180 instead of 360. Lets face it 360 anything looks so good.
Foot placement
I like to but my back foot on the tail duh. Now for this one you really want to hang alot of your back-foots heel off the board. Make sure to put your back foots toes on the heel edge case that is what makes it have a good scoop.
For the front foot I like to hang alot of my front foots toe off the toe edge of the board. Keep in mind when I said about the front foot make sure to put the front foot in the middle of the board makes it more easier for me at least.
You can have your front foot next to the front truck blots whatever feels more comfortable.
The pop
Make sure you bend thoughs knees case you cant make anything go in the air with out bending anything skateboarding wise. So start to bend your knees in a medium amount you don't want to bend them to low or to high. Once you are bending your knees lend back a little case the board often fall behind you alot and that should prevent it. So now once you have that down and you have alot of pressure on your back foot unbend thoughs knees and jump as high as you can and make sure to slam that tail down as hard as you can and once you have that down shovit fs really hard I mean really hard case you often get this 180 crap. So it takes alot of time and patience case lets face it your not gonna get this trick in one day you have to build the leg strength to make it go 360 degrees the opposite way you are used to doing it meaning bs. Now while you are shoving the board fs you want to flick with the front foot straight out side ways just like a heelflip and as soon as you have done that jump back a little so you can at least have a chance at catching it 270 or whatever degrees your close to.
Evening it out
Real hard not the easiest thing in the world case your board goes every where when you are trying this trick for the first time. This is kinda hard to explain but I Will try anyway. You want to stay centered in the whole process but you want to lean back a little and don't lean back or lean to far forward case if you do I bet you wont land it any time soon. Don't be scared of this trick you have to commit to it and if done right it should even out for you.
Landing
Hard also I kinda know you wont make it this far when you are first trying this trick but who knows maybe? Bascily wait till you see the logo side appear. It should come around 270 or so and then that is when you slam both your legs down on top of the board. Don't be scared and not land it case it will just take longer and no one wants that. Just keep trying on this trick and once you have caught it you want to just commit and once you have hit the ground bend your knees once again to absorb the impact.
Good luck
