Tips on Skateboard Heel Flip Foot Placement

Video Transcript

"The foot placement required for learning how to heel flip is very specific. It's going to require a lot of focusing on the setup, with the foot and the heel specifically. So what you're going to want to do is hang your toe of the board just slightly and in this way you're concentrating on your heel doing all the flipping by sending it straight up during the Ollie and causing the board to flip over. The back foot is going to be utilized by putting the corner of your toe on the opposite corner. What this is going to do is create a balance between the heel flip going straight and the back foot holding the board from going into any kind of shove it or a varial kind of way and sending the board straight forward and then keeping it under you. So the front foot hangs off the edge, you hit the tail and then the front foot slides off the nose and causes the board to flip and then you catch it and roll away."
