HOW TO INWARD HEELFLIP THE EASIEST WAY TUTORIAL

What this video teaches

Garrett Ginner breaks down the inward heelflip as a backside pop shove-it combined with a heelflip, emphasizing the counterintuitive back foot placement in the heelside pocket and a scissor-kick motion to get both rotations at once.

Key tips

• 1Back foot goes in the heelside pocket (not the toeside pocket you would use for a regular pop shove-it), which primes the board to flip heelward when you pop.
• 2Front foot starts in a standard heelflip position with toes hanging off the edge.
• 3Flick your heel outward and slightly forward (parallel to the ground), not downward, so it actually contacts the board edge to create the flip.
• 4Use a scissor-kick motion: back foot scoops and kicks back while front foot kicks forward, which generates the full 180-degree board rotation.
• 5If the board rotates but does not flip, focus on flicking the front foot outward harder rather than scooping the back foot more.
• 6If the board flips but only gets 90 degrees of rotation, it is the front foot hooking motion that completes the spin, not extra back-foot scoop.
• 7Practice landing with one foot first to confirm the flip rotation before committing to both feet.
• 8Trying the trick fakie can be easier for some skaters because the direction of travel assists the flip.
