I think it'd be cool to see a video on skate posture/form. How weight distribution, foot placement, upper body effects tricks in specific ways. Like a trick tip on how to fix every trick on your own. I think you'd be able to explain that well. Hopefully, that makes sense.
This couldn’t have came at a better time, board was flying behind me and was getting so pissed I was just gonna say forget it and try tre flips, the shoulders and flick direction tip helped landed the cleanest heel flip ever today, thank you dude
Your tutorials are the best on TH-cam. Just wanted you to know that. I love how relaxed and comprehensive they are, and your slow motion videos of personal reps help me to believe that I can do it too one day. Thanks for the content.
It's worth mentioning that there is a second completely different technique for heelflips than the one demonstrated here whereby you flick with your pinky toe and not your heel. Some people refer to that technique as the Neen Williams heelflip. He has a berrics video where he explains it. I find that technique allows for a lot more control of the flip and fewer rocket heelflips.
I've been skating for 10 years and this spring when the snow melted I couldn't heelflip anymore. I literally had no idea what was going wrong I've been skating long enough that I can usually self diagnose any issues, adjusting weight distribution, set-up, truck tightness, changing where/how I flick off and literally nothing made sense. Sometimes I could land them and other times I'd be totally hopeless. TODAY I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT! WHEN LEANING BACK YOU MUST STICK YOUR REAR END OUT FURTHER TO GET MORE WEIGHT BEHIND THE BOARD! THIS ALSO HELPS YOU SEE THE BOARD ROTATE UNDER YOU! before I was literally bending straight down to pop and trying to lean my shoulders back which would put my head behind my knees so I could hardly see the board rotate as well and making you land with your weight way to far forward and difficult to land.
My skate progression is going rocket fast since i started watching your videos couple days ago fine tips clearly explained i corrected many mistakes Thanks Dude commitment is the key as you said so true
Thank you very much. I struggle with my weight distribution and have to remember to lean back, in my head I try to force my whole body to go back. I also try to pop the tail as hard as I can and it seems to help. The main issue is still the right timing of all the moves. Your slowmotions help a lot. Beautifull tuto! Much repect!
before every session i look one video of your channel, then i go out and try what is told me. result is way more solid flips, shuvs, varials. And i love what you say about commitment.
Something I've noticed most heelflips have that people don't mention. The back foot is in the back pocket of your tail. That way the board kicks a bit forward on the pop.
Wow bro u deserve so much more you really give me an understanding and a run down of things going wrong and what I need to fix thank you keep up the greatness
I notice your trucks a fairly loose. Could you do an in-depth video about the pros and cons of skating loose and tight trucks and explain how it affects board maneuverability?
I think the commitment part is mostly fear. Afraid of the board shooting out and falling on your butt or face or other injury. But can become habit I can only do stationary pop shoves, but I’m taking less “warm up” time to land them So could also be more confidence than commitment. The more I’ve landed them, the more confidence I have in myself in landing them when “warming up”. I need to get over that initial mental block which will come with more practice and landing them
Yesterday was my first day trying to heelflip at the park as I have been doing only scoop tricks for a couple of months. Trust me I can heel flip the board with not much of a stress although I can’t land and roll away on my board after the flip but when you mentioned about the commitment that people lack by just making a habit of flipping the board without committing to landing it, I picturized myself so hard that I couldn’t help but stick to the points you mentioned here in this vid. I’ll be back here with my feedback once I land it while rolling. Thanks a lot Skate Hacks and sorry for my english if its not correct!
Before watching this I would land on the graphic of my board or land a really gross looking one after 3 days off trying these tips I can land them almost every time thank you so much for this video
A year & a half ago I heelfliped the local 3 stair. Jacked up my left knee and haven’t landed one since. Thankfully I kept my kickflips but hopefully with this I can get my heels back 🙏🏽 Edit: I jacked up my knee from switch bs 180s, i landed the heel off the 3
Finally a TH-cam tutorial that talks about where your weight should be. You did a much better job explain where to flick off the board that other tutorials do too 🤙🤙
I was basically throwing the ollie and at the apex of my height flicking straight out with heel, it was doing precisely what you showed, going behind me, can't wait to lab them tonight and maybe even add a trick to my bag.
I've been trying heelflips seriously for the past few days and manage to land with the board upside most of the time, just can't seem to get the full rotation
another tip is to roll from pavement to grass, attempting the heelflip (or other tricks) at the grass line so you land in the grass with no rollout issues. (Just keep in mind not to get too much momentum going so you don’t fly forward once on the grass.)
I have them on banks to fakie but not on flat. The bank keeps my body aligned over the board and helps be flick up. I still have lots of work to do on flat.
I’ve had trouble just simply catching the board for about 3 years straight. I’ve seen people land these in an hour yet all my progress on them stopped about 2 years ago.
Bro not joking and I'm not the one to usually comment on tricks tips but broooooo I never knew why I had good heelflips but I would always land with my toes on the ground and my heels on the board but it turns out it was all on how I leveled myself. Thank you
i can do the perfect flip almost everytime, but i land with my backfoot...i cant suck both legs up so i can land it . i landed it sometimes standing still but never again since then.
The board used to never level itself out and the nose would land on the side of my leg with hard pressure since my back foot would actually land on it. Heel flips are a night mare to me now...
I learned heelflips watching Robbie McKinley in the slo mo intro of Yeah Right! doing switch heelflips. My toes don't overhang at all. 🤷♂️ probably looks weird I dont know.
Aah, so _that's_ how to prevent it from rocket flipping. I kept trying, but I suppose my heel just always leave early and as I got credit carded a bunch I just didn't feel like trying much. The one time I got close to landing one, I actually did slide pretty much 70% through the nose and 15% of the pocket, but it _barely_ flipped. Which made sense. Just was stuck between either such a super slow flip or getting credit carded. The weight distribution is a good one also. I'm leaning too far back before I pop and too far forward when I did the flick. So basically my front foot is prone to getting too low to land on it.
I like how this channel is called skate hacks and literally gives out the best hacks. Great vid. Btw what happened to the PlantRider channel? Why two different channels specially since the other one was getting quite popular
I wanted to focus on skating alone since the skating aspect of my old channel was the only thing that constantly grew. I also wanted to stop vlogging everything and sharing my personal life. I think privacy is a virtue in today’s world where we’re already encouraged to share everything with everyone. It was just a move that made sense to me.
I cant find anyone with the same problem as mine. I used to have heelflips down. Now every time i do them they dip down and almost makes me credit card myself every time. I credit carded myself once about 6 weeks ago and it hurt so bad i haven’t done it since. Im scared to commit and its super frustrating. Please help
I have learned heelflip with my entire front foot inside of my board, now, I tryhard so much inwardheel and , that's don't work at all, so frustrating !
Learned My heels before My kickflips, but i lost them, and after this quarantine break i realized that . Is necessary for me to relearn the techniche since i hace the muscle memory no more. I'll correct My body distribution for the next time. Thanks a lot bro

This couldn’t have came at a better time, board was flying behind me and was getting so pissed I was just gonna say forget it and try tre flips, the shoulders and flick direction tip helped landed the cleanest heel flip ever today, thank you dude
You couldn't land heelflips and decided to practise 360 flips? lol...that's another mistake
@@alejandroperez5368 haha yeah right son, now my heelflips are mean and I've almost got tre flips on lock. you must watch braille too much
@@alejandroperez5368 Lmao it doesn’t really matter. I can tre flip but I can’t kickflip or Heelflip. People just have different learning curvesz
Dude exactly. You gotta retrain yourself to try and actually land on the board
Me rn
Easy hold on to something land it build that confidence do it without holding on or no wheels
Just when i needed this video. The third tip was really enlightening. It might just be the problem. Thank you!
u get it yet?

This is probably one of the most useful tutorial Chanel’s I’ve seen
This is just what I needed bro, thank you so much for your videos! I definitely keep coming back to your channel for more tips.
Thanks for these videos bro, you've helped me with almost all of the tricks I've learned thus far. Keep up the great work
Thanks for this, seriously I've been thinking about trying heelflips more and this is immensely useful
Love how you show us the trick all the time while teching so much helpful!
My skate progression is going rocket fast since i started watching your videos couple days ago fine tips clearly explained i corrected many mistakes Thanks Dude commitment is the key as you said so true
I remember the day i told myself today is the day. That tip really helps
The other thing I really struggle w is the timing. You gotta really wait for the pop

Same bro
Been having problems with heel flips for the past month the shoulders tip made it work out thanks dude
Hands down your tutorials are the best on youtube. I might land my first heelflip today and I‘ll dedicate it to you lol
itsArtNotAcr1me Did you landed it?
I‘m at work rn but as soon as I get home I‘m gonna try.
@@itsArtNotAcr1me did you land it now?
I've been practicing this for 4 months but I finally landed my first heelflip today on my first try after this video:) Thank you so much!
Something I've noticed most heelflips have that people don't mention.
The back foot is in the back pocket of your tail. That way the board kicks a bit forward on the pop.
Yep! and helps to keep aligned
Wow that last point is spot on bro
You really cover every area and every concern one might have, thanks dude
Thank you very much, my favorite skating channel and quite literally Skate HACKS.
Wow bro u deserve so much more you really give me an understanding and a run down of things going wrong and what I need to fix thank you keep up the greatness
Quarantine is a great time to practice some flatground. Happy to see you here.
after learning varial heels my normal heels got messed up, gonna try to keep this advice in mind
*Now my heelflip is good*
I notice your trucks a fairly loose. Could you do an in-depth video about the pros and cons of skating loose and tight trucks and explain how it affects board maneuverability?
D S bruh just figure out what u like. And there are a bunch of other videos on this
I followed in the footsteps and got my first one yesterday thanks!

What's wrong with my heelflips:
Nothing. Because they don't exist...yet.
You always make the right video at the right time . THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME LAND IT
Before watching this I would land on the graphic of my board or land a really gross looking one after 3 days off trying these tips I can land them almost every time thank you so much for this video
Bruh TH-cam be bugging my phone bruhv . I was talking to a homie about my heelflips suck.. and kaboom a video on heelflips
dude everyone hates on skating slip on pros but they’re hands down my favorite shoe
Its cause theyre so easy to get on. Alsi other shoes are so hard to get on. I agree with you
2:40 that was exactly my problem. my board always turned forward. thx for advices.
This ain’t just a skate video it’s a life lesson
Seeing the angle of your back foot really helped me. Nice one!
A year & a half ago I heelfliped the local 3 stair. Jacked up my left knee and haven’t landed one since. Thankfully I kept my kickflips but hopefully with this I can get my heels back 🙏🏽
Edit: I jacked up my knee from switch bs 180s, i landed the heel off the 3
Love the vids man🤘🏾keep them coming! Much respect
watching this for my switch heels. idk why they’re harder than switch flips to me. i can regular heelflip perfectly
Finally a TH-cam tutorial that talks about where your weight should be. You did a much better job explain where to flick off the board that other tutorials do too 🤙🤙
Thx, dude! Landing my first one today 🖤🖤🖤
Thanks bro! The verbal walk throughs help a lot.
There's so many different kinds of heelflips, so many different techniques and styles
Thanks for the best tutorials out there.
I am agree on all points, I have solved my heelflip issue by centering my weight between my feet which was naturally on the front foot.
I needed this vid🛹came in clutch

3:59-4:40 is a brilliant lesson in self awareness and how to stay focused on learning. "Accountability" mmm yeah thats the stuff.
Dude I love your channel for real.
I def appreciate all your videos man. 🙏🏼
Goddamn. First video I’ve seen from this channel and it’s super fire. Just subbed.
4:00 this is completely true and this is how i got stuck with back/front foot kickflips for a year
Great help, thank you!
Damn dawg...no accountability tricks. Truth.
I have them on banks to fakie but not on flat. The bank keeps my body aligned over the board and helps be flick up. I still have lots of work to do on flat.
I flick my heelflips like a kickflip and its way easier for doubles but is it possible to learn them on lock like that
I’ve had trouble just simply catching the board for about 3 years straight. I’ve seen people land these in an hour yet all my progress on them stopped about 2 years ago.
tks u help me soo much on shoulders distribuicion
landed my first heelflip ten minutes after watching this let’s goo!!

That’s me rn man. The flips are perfect but I always land with one foot. Have u landed it yet like constantly now
@@adrianchavez250 I would try to learn how to ollie north so that you can practice bringing your front foot back onto the board
I also had the same problem till today
The board used to never level itself out and the nose would land on the side of my leg with hard pressure since my back foot would actually land on it. Heel flips are a night mare to me now...

Exactly what I needed.
Can you please do an impossible tutorial. i saw your 360 tut and i’m like he needs to teach me impossibles
you are really good bro how long have you been skating
kickflips look easier but they take more force the heelflips that why i say heelflips are easier than kick flips and the take less time to get down
Aah, so _that's_ how to prevent it from rocket flipping. I kept trying, but I suppose my heel just always leave early and as I got credit carded a bunch I just didn't feel like trying much.

thank you i think the first one is my problem
I can do heel flips but I front foot catch them since it’s easier to pop less
Awesome tutorial really helped thanks 😊
I keep landing on the nose and it also goes behind me😭
3:25 front foot toes hanging off does throw off weight distribution but i try to lean my front foot on my heel so it evens out
Life lessons. "errasing old bad habbits."
the wise man spoke. Tomorow I'm gonna land right on the fucking bolts !
him throwing his arms back is super key just so yall know
