How to HEELFLIP for beginners the easiest way tutorial

What this video teaches

Braille beginners tutorial (also Aaron Kyro) uses a detailed step-by-step progression: flick drill standing still, one-foot flick with the back foot stepping off backward, then full landing, emphasizing watching the board the entire time and catching it with the back foot first. The front foot at a slight angle creates diagonal pressure on the board that helps the flick.

Key tips

• 1Front foot at roughly 45 degrees with toes hanging off, back foot in the heel-side back corner pocket
• 2The staggered foot pressure (toes of front foot pushing the nose-side edge down, toes of back foot pushing the tail-side edge down) builds tension in the board that assists the flip
• 3Flick the front foot forward and outward, almost like an ollie that kicks diagonally off the nose corner
• 4Watch the board rotating under you the entire time during the flip
• 5Catch the board with your back foot first, then put the front foot down and compress your knees to land
• 6Practice the flick motion in place repeatedly before adding the full jump, muscle memory is the foundation
• 7A line drawn on the grip tape from the ball of the foot to the nose corner shows exactly where the foot should travel
• 8Avoid flicking too early, let the front foot travel up the board before the diagonal flick exits off the nose
