Trick Tip How to Double Heelflip

What this video teaches

Eddie Lopez walks through his own double heelflip setup in detail: back foot centered in the tail pocket, front foot shifted back two to three inches from a regular heelflip stance with more tilt, then a flick he describes as going "up and then down" for the double rotation, finishing with a strong cue to keep your shoulders square and stay above the board.

Key tips

• 1Have your regular heelflip completely solid first, the double heelflip flick builds directly on it
• 2Center your back foot in the pocket of the tail, position is not too fussy as long as it is centered
• 3Move your front foot back two to three inches from your normal heelflip spot and tilt it more than usual
• 4Aim your flick close to the concave near where the wheel starts, rather than flicking from further up the board
• 5Flick the board up and then down in sequence, not one flat flick, to generate the second rotation
• 6Keep your shoulders square and level with the board throughout the trick, this is the single most important balance cue
• 7Stay above the board through the full flight instead of leaning away from it as it spins
• 8Stay committed and expect to grind through repeated attempts, this trick rewards persistence over raw power
