What this video teaches
A short, concise skatedeluxe breakdown describing the backside 180 heelflip as a straightforward mix of the backside 180 and the standard heelflip, with foot placement borrowed directly from each parent trick. Frames the pop, shoulder wind-up, and heel flick as happening simultaneously rather than sequentially.
Key tips
- Place your back foot on the back part of the tail, matching the same spot used for a backside 180 or backside 180 kickflip
- Set your front foot near or slightly behind the front truck bolts with your toes hanging off the edge, the standard heelflip position
- Wind your shoulders before popping to build the momentum needed for the 180 turn
- Pop the tail down and back with your back foot to help drive the rotation
- Perform the backside 180 turn and the heel flick at the same time rather than one after the other
- Lift your legs up right after the flick to give the board room to complete its flip
- Catch the board over the bolts of your trucks as you and the board finish turning together
- Land and ride away clean, treating the rotation and the flip as one combined motion rather than two separate steps
