i dont know why, i was just in the mood to make an official trick tip. hope it helps you guys!

____________________________________

FOOT PLACEMENT:

back foot: have the ball of your back foot just on the edge of the LEFT side of your tail

front foot: have your front foot in the middle of the board with your toes hanging off the RIGHT side of your board.

____________________________________

STEPS:

Step one: pop the tail and drag your front foot up and off the board.

Step two: watch the board flip, as soon as you see the griptape, slam your feet down to stop the board from overflipping.

Step three: stick the landing and roll away

____________________________________

TROUBLESHOOTING:

Problem: the board doesnt flip the entire way.

How to Fix: your probobly not dragging and flipping. you need

to drag your front foot up and then kick when your front foot reaches the nose.

Problem: i slip out when i land

How to Fix: Switch stance is akward if you are not used to it. so it is really easy to land to forward or back when skating switch. so learn really get used to switch before you try this trick.

dude it's for switch,meaning that if you are a regular,goofy will be switch for you vice versa,so heelflip in your normal stance is regular,and goofy would be switc for you vice versa too

First off, you're probably not popping quick enough. Get a good, quick pop with your front foot, then make sure to drag and flick diaganolly outwards with your back foot.

Look, you know how to do them in regular (I'm guessing). And you can probably do switch/nollie Kickflips, so really it's just the same thing!
You should learn Heelflips in nollie first, I found them easier. If you can do them in all stances except for switch, then I'd say you are dam clse to landing them! Just keep commiting and get the timing right in switch.

Well, it shouldn't be slipping out if you catch them directly over the bolts. Just land them there and don't be scared of losing balance.
