Heelflip trick tip
Foot placement: place your back foot like a normal ollie, and your front foot around 2 inches behind the front bolts with your toes hanging of the side (this may vary between people) and it help some people to put it on a angle like a kickflip
The pop: pop your back foot like a normal ollie and slide your front foot towards the concave
The flick: when your front foot has reached the concave slide it of the side, I find it is helpful to flick to toes up to the sky to get a nice flip,
Sucking up: after you have flicked you back foot should still be over the board, and your front needs to but sucked back over the board, (this is very important for landed a heelflip)
The catch: keep your feet over than board while its spinning, and wait till you see the grip tape and push your feet back over the board, once you have the catch I find it easier to just catch it with timing,
Landing: after you have caught the board you are going to want to get ready for the landing and bend your knees once you have landed,
Common proberlems!
Under rotating- this is caused by not flicking hard enough.
Over rotating-caused by flicking too hard or catching too late
Board spinning like a pop shove- be shore to get a good clean pop straight to the ground, and also be shore to flick straight of the side
Landing one foot- don’t be afraid to commit, after flicking suck those legs up!
Not staying over the board- be shore to just strait up and get a nice clean pop and flick
board going behind you-if you flick straight of the side not the concave to board will go straight back because of resistants you gotta hit that concave like a kickflip so it will go up not back
Hope I helped!
