Ok shti happens but latly my heelfips have been getting kinda sloppy
I can still alnd 75% of them but this is wat happens
I jump and when it flips it hits the back of my foot
I land in primo somthimes

I was just wondering if this happens to anyone else....

ok for the first thing,
1. the reason your board is hitting thte back of your feet is because your not jumping back any. try putting your back foot in the back corner of the tail, popping it stiff now, jump back a tad when you flip it.
2. if your board is going in primo, youll need to cut off your flick power a bit so you dont over flip it or vice versa if you are under rotating it.
3. the only reason you over flipping is because your flicking it at the same power, but jumping higher. try sliding your front foot a few inches up the board and you will most likely get a nice, high flip.

my board spins in front of me and i catch it there but anyway......
you may be flicking your foot straight out. try to flick at an angle, sorta like kickflips. and it helps some people to leave there front toes hanging off the edge a little bit. my whole foots on the board but thats just my stupid ass. andyway jump really high. might help some.
and yes this happened to me too

suck your back foot up and practice with different feet positions and with how fast you flick your board
