HEELFLIP

The heelflip is like the ollie flip, except that the board spins toward the toe edge rather than the heel edge. It would be wise to learn the ollie flip before attempting the heelflip. Once having mastered the ollie flip, the heelflip is but a variation. The heelflip entails ollieing and kicking your leading foot towards the toe-side edge of the nose, rather than towards the heelside edge as you would for an ollie flip. Your leading foot should be placed just behind the front bolts, not in the center of the board as for an ollie. The combined motions of ollieing upwards by pushing down with your trailing foot and kicking forward and to the toe-side edge with your leading foot will make the board spin. As it spins around, "catch" it with your feet once the topside is up again. When you land, as with the kickflip, don't look like a dumbass. Ride away all siclike. Hell yeah!
