    - Kickflips (you don't have to learn them, but they can help if you are more of a kickflipper than a heelflipper)

    • @slowmomike
      @slowmomike  9 років тому +16

      ah, sounds to me like you aren't dragging up the board properly
      If you don't drag up the board right, the board will do what it wants. In this case it will totally go behind you.
      To fix this, you *MUST* make sure that when you slide up the board, you *NEVER* have your front foot leave the board. Your front foot must stay in contact with the skateboard throughout the *entire* drag up the board. Do not simply just kick the board and pray for a land, you need that proper drag in there to give you a nice heelflip.

    • @heinzmustermann8416
      @heinzmustermann8416 6 років тому +3

      I know a bit late but what helps is to lean back before jumping up. You don't want to jump into the direction the board goes, but with this you'll push the board in front of you, where it should be. That thing connected with the advice of slowmomike should help you to get a good heelflip :)

    • @PHeMoX
      @PHeMoX 4 роки тому +1

      @@heinzmustermann8416 Interesting point about 'not jumping the direction the board goes', because that's basically what a beginner pop shove it is like. You jump forward to get back on the board. And honestly my ollies are a lot like jumping forward (as in, nose side). Recently I also had the best kickflip attempt so far by doing basically an ollie, jumping nose side, dragging my foot up and with the front foot being half on the board it rotated the board already. It does half flips easily and with a bit more effort it does a full kickflip rotation. I think people underestimate how much of a true ollie is within tricks like the kickflip and heelflip tricks. Jumping front foot side during a kickflip for me is also the absolute easiest way of staying above the board at all times. Can't do it leaning any other way.

    I miss you mike. These are the most in depth trick tip videos iv'e literally ever seen.

    • @PHeMoX
      @PHeMoX 4 роки тому

      Yeah, he also touches upon the stuff that _really_ matters, like for example the importance of learning half flips when trying to learn kickflips, instead of landing them one foot only. This is easily the biggest tip to actually coming close to landing a kickflip IMHO. I can flick and rotate the board whilst jumping and flicking up, but still not stay above the board. This way I'd never come close to landing a kickflip, so this 'practice step' encouraged by other channels is literally pointless. I wish people would emphasize more how a kickflip is basically an ollie with slightly different front foot placement only. The rest is pretty much literally the same.

    @rhysmurray4232 7 років тому

    Started skating about 6 months ago, been trying heelflips for about 3months now, and this video helped a lot, it's great that you give the different variations for different foot positions, i find people are too stubborn and need to be shown that you can try anything, as long as it works! seriously though, went out after watching this, and straight away, i was picking up more of a technique and managed to land some, thanks a bunch mate!

    So after many hours I landed my first ever heelflip. You're video helped me soo much. The only real problem I had with doing it was landing the board slightest behind me. How I fixed it was leaning back a little bit more then you usually would with ollies while in the air which made me jump straight up. Thanks so much mike

    @andrewsherwin6806 11 місяців тому

    That’s interesting, I watched a trick tip video recently where they instructed us to flick with our toes. I tried this and it seemed to help a bit. I guess you’d have to get your foot on top of the board a little more do you can dip your toe down to make contact with the board. But that seems to help me. Most ppl probably flick with their heel though. I’m curious how everyone and how pros do it.
    Great video, sir.

    @slowmomike  10 років тому

    + joshua molnar
    What you should do is first make sure that you have the necessary height to do the heelflip (you should be able to ollie at least 8 inches to a foot). If you can already do that and you still have trouble, you just have a technique problem. You want to make sure that with your front foot, you drag up the board using the *side* of you foot, you maintain contact with the board as you drag up the board, and then you flick *outwards* (not up, not down, go *out*). This is all pretty much from the video, so just make sure that your front foot technique is proper.

    I would recommend making sure that when you flick the board and all of that, that once you tuck your legs into your body, make sure that your feet are *hovering over the board* as the board rotates. Like your feet are perfectly over the board, that way when you come in for the land, you'll land clean

    I had bad heelflips for a while but really good kickflips so I watched this and it corrected my heelflips a bit so they aren't like a rocket thanks for that. Now i'm working on varial heels my only 2 problems I consistently run into are having the board go way behind me(towards the heelside edge of the board) and only doing half of a flip but getting the full rotation. Doing you know how to fix those problems? The main one that annoys me is only getting half of a flip I can usually land on the board but upside down. I have landed this trick a couple times before though i'm not sure what I did.

      Great to hear that your heelflips are getting better! Out of curiosity, how consistent are they? Also, are your fs shoves consistent as well? I just wanna make sure you got the fundamentals down before I give you advice, as my advice would be worthless if you don't have those two tricks under your belt.

      I did nothing but heelflips for a couple days and now they are 10/10 my front shoves are about 7/10 or 8/10. I have varial heels now and they came super easy once I landed that first one clean. Now i'm worried about lasers. I can do them on a small board but I skate 8.25 so its nearly impossible for me idk why. The way I think about it is i shove my backfoot foward as hard as I can like a kick and i try to focus on connecting with the board and flicking out at a 45 degree angle. My main problem is landed with the board 270 or sometimes it will fly like a mile behind me(heelside) When i try it moving it sometimes gets left behind but im getting better about that.

      Yeah reg lasers are a weird one for me too. I'm more of a nollie/switch laser type of guy, I also skate an 8.25 as well (all of my street boards are). So I may not be the _best_ person to take advice from, so I guess I'll treat it as a switch laser tip. One thing that would really help for you would be to try out fakie lasers; I learned my switch ones by doing nollie ones a lot. Things in nollie/fakie tend to flip/rotate a lot better than reg/switch, so that can give you some nice practice. I also find that twisting my back leg along with kicking it like an fs shove really helps with the rotation. By "twisting my back leg" I end up simply just pivoting my foot so that my ankle doesn't move, but my whole foot does. So add that on top of your fs shove to get a good rotation.
