How to Heelflip, Step by Step

  1. Back foot on the tail, front foot across the board with the toes hanging slightly off the toe-side edge.
  2. Pop the tail as you would for an ollie.
  3. Kick your front heel out and forward off the toe-side corner of the nose.
  4. Jump straight up and keep your body over the board while it rotates.
  5. Catch with both feet and land with your knees bent.

Heelflip Tips

  • Kick forward, not just out. A purely sideways kick sends the board away from you.
  • Lean a little toward your toes during the jump to stay over the board.
  • Watch the board the whole way down. Catching it early is half the battle.
