The Heelflip
 



1. Place your feet as shown above. For the heelflip you need to jump a lot higher than you would think, and also jump back a little as when you flick the board it sometimes makes it go behind you.
2. Bend down to get enough pop to do the trick and so you can jump high. Once you've popped the back down, flick your foot off the front side of your board (right = regular, left = goofy), this should make the board flick the oppopsite way to a kickflip as your heel will be doing the flip rather than your toes.
3. Jump up and back slightly so that you stay above the board, this is quite hard and the hardest part of the trick as the board tends to go really high, so make sure you tuck your legs in as much as you have to. Wait until you see the griptape again and stretch your legs back to stop it spinning, in the same way you would a kickflip.
4. Land and bend you knees to keep balance and to absord the shock, aim to land on the bolts of the board.
5. Once you've landed, ride away.
