A short, casual demonstration that reduces the double heelflip to a compact setup cue: position your front foot a little closer to the tail and slightly higher and tilted, then commit to a high jump and a hard kick-out to get the board around twice.
Key tips
- Start from your normal heelflip foot position as the baseline
- Move your front foot a little closer to the tail than a regular heelflip
- Raise and tilt the front foot slightly higher on the rail than you would for a single heelflip
- Position the front foot close to the tail but not so close that it compromises your balance
- Center your weight over the middle of the board before popping
- Jump higher than you would for a single heelflip to buy time for the second rotation
- Kick out hard through the flick, the extra force is what completes the second flip
- Expect to refine the exact foot placement through repetition rather than getting it perfect on the first try
