I find it hilarious that for me 4 years ago I was learning kickflips and hadn’t landed one for days and then for some reason I thought “imma do a heel flip real quick” AND FUCKING LANDED MY CLEANIST HEELFLIP EVER but had never even attempted to heelflip nor learn how(via tutorials, practice, etc) ever in my life. Truly no better feeling since then.
yep some of us are natural to the kick tricks and others the heel tricks. well done I was exactly the same. If I am moving at any speed I will choose a heel flip over a kick flip any day. I just feel a lot safer with them knowing I am not about to face plant if I screw it up.
Same for me, randomly landed my first heelflip and I was so stoked. Been practicing them lately and I landed a couple Clean. Feels so much better than kick flip to me.
that basically happened to me (i didn’t land it) BUUUTTT, i did rotate it even without having any knowledge of technique and foot positioning. But now i cant even flip the board
I loved that you explained the detail about putting your center of gravity behind you to make the board flip below you. This is a detail that I found out waaaaay too late, but it would have helped me a lot before. Many tutorials just say "keep trying until you get it", but although it requires practice, these little details make the learning experience better.
What really helped me get heelflips consistent after learning them was to lean a bit on the toe side of the flick foot. If you look closely, you can see him do the same with his heel a couple mm off the board.
I was getting frustrated learning heelflips and then I found this video. Watched about half the vid and landed a heelflip 5 minutes later. Thanks for the trick tip Jonny, you the man💯
These tutorials are great I’ve been struggling with heels for a while and this was super helpful. Your tre flip tutorial also made learning tres much easier
36 years old here back in skate after more than 10 years off. I can land more tricks today and i realize this kind of video missed me a lot back in the days... So much easier/faster to learn new tricks now, maybe i'm also older and i'm being more "methodical"... anyway love your content, thanks for the motivation :-)
@@v1xionace965 this is true haha! In my experience flipping it is easy, but you want it to stay infront of you rather than behind, that's the secret to the trick. Easier said than done though.
Agreed. Most are either heel or kick flip. I’m pretty sure I learned kick flip first (back in late 80’s) but always felt more comfortable doing heels. Great tutorial. So much pop.
Johnny thank you soo much I’ve had healflip a on and off for about two months now and the tip you said about keeping your weight back alittle helps me sooo much thank you
Heel flips are are a ton of fun and this is a great tutorial! Johnny always kills it! I’ve had a few requests on my channel for a similar video. What specific issues are you guys having with landing them? I keep hearing not enough rotation, of putting back foot down to early. Anything else?
I gonna learn this, this week! Thanks, Jonny your Tutorials helped me a lot! Now just the weather needs to play with, the snow today came out of nowhere.
Yooo Jonny! I am from Russia, skate at 5 mnt and your videos is the best that I ever seen. after the third mnt I have a dream to skate on your spot! It’s such beautiful!! Please continue learn incredible and unique tricks! From Russia with love 🤙🏿
I have watched neen's tutorial and aaron's, but this one is the one that did it for me! thanks so much, ur recommended foot position worked so well for me! i just went out and skated and landed like 7 regular heel flips and like 2 fakie! ur the man. also you're one of the few people that actually does an impossible correctly so shout out for that too
This video helped me land my first heel flip and a lot of clean high ones a couple weeks ago. Now I'm struggling to land a couple when i go to the park lol will get them back after re watching this I'm sure haha. Thanks johnny .
I tried a few the other day with the advice of this video and was one foot landing them within 5 tries, I couldn't believe it lol def will be practicing this one thank you again dude
@Javier Cruz I used to skate 20 years ago. Back then I used my skateboard for 3 years as a way to move around the city with a backpack and punk rock in my ears. No skateparks where available, so I just learned these basic tricks on the sidewalk. During lockdown I started about 3 months ago to skate again, but this time, I am almost 39years old and have a different approach to skateboarding. In 3 months I have landed my first crappy nollie, my first 50-50 and 5-0 on a curb. Which doesn’t really count. I do am proud of dropping in a bowl for the first time, a month ago.
@@SabiaCDO That’s awesome! I’m 35 and just got back into skating after a 20ish year sabbatical. Lol. Sadly better now than I was as a kid. Keep it up! I’m also regular and a heel flipper!
@@CALIFORNIAsGAMER hi there, me from 2 years later, i can now consistently kickflip and am now trying to learn heelflips again, wish me luck homie ima try not to credit card
i actually just landed my first heelflip few days ago after 2 years of avoiding it, on that day i had it in lock. yesterday i just couldn’t do a single one lma try your tips, thank you jonny!
I thought I had already found the best tutorial videos, but I was wrong. THIS GUY MAKES THE BEST VIDEOS! Amazing explanations and sets expectations of the learning process. Will I succeed? nope, lol. But it'll be fun trying.
Thank you sir! I didn't know about the foot dragging up the board. I always kicked forward but the board wouldn't stay under me. I can now practice properly! 😁
thanks for this video i am still struggling to commit and lean back but i have gotten way closer to landing it rather then before. kickflips are still way harder for me but i do want to be a competitive pro skater so thanks for keeping me rolling
Hi man! U really inspired me with ur "harsdest mullen trick"-video. very nice tutorials! tnx a bunch, u gonna get ppl wondering how the hell i progress so fast
I'm the heelflip first type, don't quite have it on lock so this video is very helpful. The real thing i learned though is how my new shoes will look after practice ( nice taste Jonny ;) )
Nice vid. Wish I’d had this back in 1996. Could do decent kick flips but never heel flips back then. I’m now born again 39 year old skater and am determined to land heel flips!
Johnny seems like he would be so fun to skate with.
Or hang out with in general ^^
But he would smoke us all in S.K.A.T.E. xd
I can hardly land a kickflip but he’d probably be able to teach me to do a gazelle flip in a day
I’d love to pick his brain for a day to see what I can learn! Great videos and seems like a really cool guy!
@@iaganfoss lol
the mountains make the background soothing and relaxing😅
true
0⁰
Brooo I am freaking tf out, that sjatepark is 20min away from me WTF
@@yamahasimp Bro, If I live in there I would Go to there diarily just to see these mountains while I land some hard tricks, like Ollie lmao
I’m crying right now. Those heel flips are so beautiful
I was thinking the same thing. It's beauty
Almost 2 feet up from flat..I think the gravity is turned down lower in Switzerland.
Ya there ain't no way those some the best I've ever seen
The only person that could possibly teach me how to heelflip in half an hour.
I learn kickflip y 2hrs.

up.
Iv never landed a heel flio or skated switch but i switch heeled a hip i just did it.
Still have yet to land a heelflip of any breed since
Same for me, randomly landed my first heelflip and I was so stoked. Been practicing them lately and I landed a couple
Clean. Feels so much better than kick flip to me.

Can't stand heelflips, I either credit card or miss the landing. Kickflips I have all day.
Has the nicest heelflips
*Can't heelflip with his hands*
😂😂💯
Lol
But can he palm flip
Heelflip was gonna be my next trick to learn great timing!
4 me 2
My man ✊🏾
Did you made it?
Same
johny: foot positioning is important
also johny: *shows 5 different foot positioning*
How is he contradicting himself? 5 different foot positions doesn't mean it doesn't matter...

@@pianotrainee9314 Did it work?
@@CLAMPED1 Yes, it did. But to be honest I haven't practiced them for a while, I can't skate in winter :")
@@pianotrainee9314 I feel that winters just ending for me
Still haven't landed one but the flip is looking nicer. Thanks! I've been focusing more on Tre's and FS flips.
0:06 looks like he flicking the air
His heel flips are so strong he makes a air current that flips the board
@@captainggttv3243 haha

Who else has Ben skating for 2 years and can’t do kickflips
Same here but yet I can heel flip
Just started landing them 4 years in. I got my kick flip 6 months into skating.
I started this year and landed an Ollie moving on my first day
i love how johnny teaches. hes so in depth and trys to add every little detail you need
These tutorials are great I’ve been struggling with heels for a while and this was super helpful. Your tre flip tutorial also made learning tres much easier

So much useful information in a single video. How instructive that was is beyond words. You're awesome! Thanks so much for this video Jonny!
I can heelflip but i like to watch a lot of the tutorials for extra tips. Thanks Jonny for videos!
make a in depth tutorial in how to laser flip there isn’t many out
yes!
yes!!!!
Yes please, I've only landed 2 or 3 lasers after countless attempts. Their incredibly hard, would love to see one
Not many people can do one so that’s why I think 🤔

Love these man, love all the videos to be honest. Great work as usual.
These are just fun to watch. Very thorough. And that skate spot and that background are so peaceful. Those mountains..
Ι just started learning heels amd this video helped me a LOT
The video literally just came out
Whith the timing of your comment. You cannot have seen the whole video. Not even the half.
@@nils5995 i was writing the commemt while watching
I just started practicing heels too

you and kyro helping me learn to skate day by day thank you!
Jonny makes the best guides of all. I have watches so many guides and none of them are the same as his!
Johnny I was trying for like 2 hours to heel then I watched your vid and got it no cap now they’re low key on lock thanks big dawg
Thank you Jonny! I just landed my first heel flip after about 30 minutes!

Hey Jonny! You inspired me to get back into skating and I created a skate business because of it!😁 Thank you for your inspirational videos!
What is it called? I’m a little late
@@oliverthecubesk8455 I’d like to know too
Im so close!!! It's actually staying under me for a change. The back foot positioning advice really helped thank you so much!
I was just looking for heelflip tutorials today! Couldn't have come at a better time haha
Landed my first heelflip at age 22 today
Thanks jonny, never give up !
Your probably the first youtube skater I've seen to in a little depth with this trick I like it
This video helped me land my first heel flip and a lot of clean high ones a couple weeks ago. Now I'm struggling to land a couple when i go to the park lol will get them back after re watching this I'm sure haha. Thanks johnny .

I landed my heelflips and fakie heelflips today. Thanks a ton Johnny!
You should do more of these i like these. Always have been a fan but these are nice
ur tutorials are so amazing man :) keep it up!
i think talking about how the backfoot behaves during the trick could be very helpful too
Regular AND a heelflip person, right here. Who else? 🤚🏻🤚🏼🤚🏽🤚🏾🤚🏿
Nah goofy but just learning switch heels
@@gmon8690 that makes you a waaaaaaay better skater than I am. I can only do Ollie, Heelflip and Pop shove it.

Loving the recent tutorial series!
I started trying heels yesterday, Jonny coming in clutch
Great tutorial! Let me know if you hit any sticking points!
I was like ooo ima learn a heel flip before I learn a kickflip!!
(Gets credit carded)
Ooo I think I change my mind!!
Yup I can kick flip and i get scared of heels 😂😂😂 I can tre flip but not heel flip fuck that
@@CALIFORNIAsGAMER hi there, me from 2 years later, i can now consistently kickflip and am now trying to learn heelflips again, wish me luck homie ima try not to credit card
Awesome! First try and landed it, feels amazing. I’m over the hill btw!!!
Always love the majestic beauty of the swiss countryside in the back of mr Gs vids...
i actually just landed my first heelflip few days ago after 2 years of avoiding it, on that day i had it in lock.
yesterday i just couldn’t do a single one
lma try your tips, thank you jonny!
howd it go
skating is so annoying like that lol, it teaches u life lessons tho
@@nxbulae_ skating is not annying at all.
it teaches you patience and focus.
for anyone asking how its going,
i can heelflip pretty decent now
I thought I had already found the best tutorial videos, but I was wrong. THIS GUY MAKES THE BEST VIDEOS! Amazing explanations and sets expectations of the learning process. Will I succeed? nope, lol. But it'll be fun trying.
just watched your other video on this last night, awesome!!
I learned this trick in one day without any tutorials it is one of my favorite tricks now for the last 4 months
Bro i love how he explains it that actually helped me so much
3 years of skating and i've had my foot positioning wrong this whole time🤦♀️ thanks dude
Amazing tutorial! I'm a beginner and this will come in really handy at my next session.
Yup it worked! I nailed it because I kept thinking of this video, especially regarding the foot position. The Giger foot stance is amazing!
Thanks Johnny after watching this video I landed my first heelflip stationary in a matter of hrs just starting learning today lmao
Thank you so much for this lesson! Heelflips came way easier than kickflips do
thanks for your effort, greatly appreciate, can´t wait to start my next skate session later today and work on my heelflip...
This actually helped me land my first heelflip today thanks johnny😁
Thank you sir!

Do nollie Heel! And this vid was really good! I just tried this and landed it! Thank u! This was super in-depth and great. 🌀🤙
This is strong work 🦾, it would be neat to see you teach a noob or beginner. Super cool video as always.
Don't worry Johnny, I'm not going to stop watching your videos!
Using lockdown to retry heelflip and at night the notification came... Exactly what I needed !

Nice heelflips. I concur! Time to throw down some bangers down or off stuff.
Varial Heelflip tutorial next please, loving These so far👍👍👍
Very nice.. and simple trick. I am a beginner skater. Thanks for tutorial.. keep it up..
I'm the heelflip first type, don't quite have it on lock so this video is very helpful. The real thing i learned though is how my new shoes will look after practice ( nice taste Jonny ;) )
I landed my first Heelflip in a long as time on my first session on my new Jonny Giger board!!!!!
I literally did the foot placement, did it in 5 tries thanks Johnny
The best tutorial for heelflips
Got it in 2 days with this tutorial! Thank you man 🎉🛹🛹
Others say you don't actually rotate it with a heel, but johnny clearly does so.
Nice vid. Wish I’d had this back in 1996. Could do decent kick flips but never heel flips back then. I’m now born again 39 year old skater and am determined to land heel flips!
Thanks Jonny Just landed my first heel flip
Thanks I just learned it today
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I’VE LEARNT IT FOR 2 WEEKS!!! (but i think, that everyone do it differently, so i changed something for better accuracy:))
Such a nice backdrop
