Skateboarding Tricks: Heelflip Varial

Video Transcript

"A very fun variation of the kick flip varial is to learn how to heel flip varial. It's exactly the same trick. It's flipping and its shove iting at the same time. The only difference is now its going frontside and now you're doing it with a heel flip. So think backwards and turn the two things around and what you're doing is hanging your toe more off the nose and pushing the board behind you and all together the trick makes the motion. So let me show you exactly how that ends up working out. So to heel flip shove it you want to set up in a heel flip position and when you hit the tail you're going to want to put your foot so that it shove it?s in a frontside way and that's how you push it behind you. So the motion of the front foot is in charge of the heel flip and the back foot is in charge of the ollying and the frontside shove it part. This is a very good variation but it's a little bit harder to do because it all happens behind you so setting up, is going to be difficult at first and you're going to need to feel out the differences. So this is how a heel flip shove it should end up working out. When you get down in the crouch position and then you hit the tail and you shove it using your back foot and your front foot does the heel flip and it sends it over and behind you and then you land back on the skateboard, and that's how you heel flip shove it 180."
