Tips & Warnings:

  • The secret for varial heelflips is to time the varial with the heelflip. Begin the heelflip a split secand after you snap and scoop the tail.
  • Wear safety gear
  • Skateboarding is a very dangerous sport that could result in fatal or serious injury and death
Step1
Place your back foot on the edge of the tail. If you are riding regular, it is the left side of the tail. For goofy footed, it will be the right side.
Step2
Your front foot should be placed with your toes slightly hanging over the edge like a heelflip.
Step3
As you snap the tail against the ground, you want to scoop it out in front of you so that the board does a varial (a 180 of the board, not your body).
Step4
As the board begins to turn, kick your front foot straight out as if you were doing a heelflip. The heelflip helps the board turn the remainder of the 180
Step5
As the board spins and flips, keep your body straight so you can land with both feet on the board.
Step6
Land with both feet on the board with your knees bent for absorption.
