NEW Trick - Heelflip

The Heelflip is similar to the Kickflip, however, you use the heel of your foot to flip the board rather than your toe.

  1. Position your back foot over the back tail of the skateboard, your front foot just before halfway and bend your knees.
  2. In one smooth motion, slam the tail down into the ground with your back foot and slide your front foot towards the front end of the skateboard leaving the toes hanging off the edge whilst extending your legs in an upward movement. TIP: you may get better results if you slide your foot up on its side.
  3. Once your front foot is positioned in line with the front trucks kick down hard with your heel. This will cause the board to flip.
  4. Lift your legs so your feet are out of reach of the board whilst it is flipping.
  5. When the board has flipped over 360 extend your legs to land back on the gripped surface. TIP: Keep your feet spaced roughly over the screws of the trucks to keep balance.
