HOW TO SWITCH HEELFLIP! Pro hacks tutorial

What this video teaches

This tutorial is actually about landing a switch heelflip, not a double. Its two "pro secrets", leaning the front shoulder forward into a backside-180 body position, and angling the front foot to match, are the cues that make a switch-stance flick land cleanly, which matters if you are chasing switch or nollie double heelflip variations down the line.

Key tips

• 1Lean your whole body forward with your front shoulder hanging over the board, as if starting a backside 180, before you flick
• 2Keep that front shoulder tucked in through the entire trick rather than opening it up early
• 3Put your weight forward onto your toes as you lean, not centered or back
• 4Angle your front foot to match your body's slight rotation so the flick lines up with the direction of the flip
• 5Align the flicking foot with the shoulder position so the flick lands squarely on the board's edge
• 6Study pro footage frame by frame for the shoulder position if your own switch flick feels weak, the body lean is more often the miss than the foot itself
• 7Get this body-and-foot alignment locked before adding any extra rotation on top of a switch flip
• 8Treat the shoulder position as the fix if you've been stuck on a switch-stance flip trick for months with no obvious foot problem
