HOW TO HEELFLIP THE EASIEST WAY 2.0

What this video teaches

Braille (Aaron Kyro) walks through a step-by-step beginner progression: stationary flick drills, single-foot flick with the back foot stepping off for safety, then full commitment, stressing two key foot-position secrets and the importance of leaning back toward your heels so the board goes under you rather than behind you. The front foot should sit toward the center of the board (not up near the bolts like a kickflip), toes hanging off, and the back foot goes in the heel-side back corner pocket.

Key tips

• 1Toes must hang off the toe side of the front foot so the flick can catch the board and rotate it
• 2Back foot sits in the heel-side back corner pocket, ball of foot on the toe side of the tail for counterbalanced pressure
• 3Front foot goes slightly back from the kickflip position, toward the center of the board, to let the flick travel up and off the nose properly
• 4Lean toward your heels before and during the pop so the board flips underneath you instead of shooting behind
• 5Practice the drag-and-flick motion standing still before attempting to land it
• 6When practicing, step the back foot off backward (not forward) to ingrain a rearward lean that keeps the board under you
• 7Catch the board with your back foot first, then place the front foot and compress your knees for the landing
• 8Pop fully before flicking: it is a tap-then-flick sequence, not a simultaneous motion
