1. your toe isnt hanging off the board much, so maybe try a little more.

2. you stopped moving your foot foreward before it even got to hit the nose.

3. you kicked down.

it looked pretty fine until you started to kick down.

but those are the problems. hang some more toe off (maybe), put your back foot on a little more cause it was like half off the end of the tail, and flick out, not down. 2 and 3 are the main problem.

edit: oh, also, it looks like you tried to get back to the ground way too fast. hover over it (not literally, but let yourself hang when you jump).

and.... do it moving. even slowly, at least be moving.

You aren't flicking at all, you're just putting your front foot down before you should be flicking.

This is gonna sound odd, but scoot your foot up a little more towards the bolts, and don't hang the toe to much, Kick forward and out, not down, and pull that front leg up. Keep on going at it man. Make sure you flick. Also, learn it moving, it will help alot. =)

looks like ur doing it wrong to me

[mason]

^^^^^^really?? do you think so???

Skate4life: you need to keep slide you foot up and then kick outwards off the nose, NOT DOWN. Also you need to force your feet to stay sucked up in the air

[Bakerbum211]

You need to kick your foot off of the nose, but out a little. your kicking way out, and thats probably your problem.

[Miniflipkid]

^^^^^^really?? do you think so???


actually now that i look at it again...

go try that off stairs

[mason]

^^^^^^^^^mmm, oh yah, hed have much better luck heelfliping a 5 stair instead of doing the heelflip flateground, yup, that sure does make a lot of sense.......... :-10:

[Miniflipkid]

^obviously

[mason]

^^^^^Dude, can you even do a heelflip?

[scarecrow476]

you need to use all your strength and bring your front foot back over the board after you flick out, thisll feel really really awkward but you gotta commit and just try it. That's how I learned. Oh yea and stop making so many of these threads.

[marleyfan0]

u look like u r a little afiad 2 land

[Bakerbum211]

You need to kick your foot off of the nose, but out a little. your kicking way out, and thats probably your problem.


wait when i said way out i meant your kicking down. also suck your knees up as high as you can.

[sk8zero]

id say put ur toes
off a little more and flick of the nose oh yea and dont be scared to land them just pop slide flick and land its ok ull get them bra

[Miniflipkid]

^^^^^Dude, can you even do a heelflip?

indeed I can, dont like em tho cus the flicking with my heel gets old fast

[mikester1999]

i learned to do a heelflip by conquring a fakie heelflip :-9: i know its odd but its easier to do it fakie cuz u get the back motion on the foot to get the board up iunno just my 2 cents on how i learned but i dont really see anything wrong. just keep tryin try different positions i dont know

[goofy m3ng]

You aren't flicking at all, you're just putting your front foot down before you should be flicking.

Thats ur main problem. Try Flick out

[shortty]

flick faster and sooner

[mcwattersm]

Your rushing your foot to the ground, plus you arn't moving. Add alittle speed and concentrate on bringing your foot back as fast as possible and you've got it.

Mason doesn't get jokes

[hayward420]

hey dude this is easy done firstley dont kick down push your foot fully toward the tail an kick out its weaird at first an the board will just shoot out but stick with this an it will work.good luck

[Darktruth210]

haha dude I went on my friend element seal style deck and I could almost land a heelflip if my feet would stay under the board lol.

[oxidettt]

slide your foot more to nose.

[Andrew in Laure]

ok guys i have the exact same problem i just got my cam and its hard to tell thats not me and i was wodering could it b that were not staying centered and that we are leaning forward forceing are leg down and if not or if so how do i make my leg go up and not down and how to i make it hit the nose and um can someone put a sequence of a regular skater doing a heelflip and landing it? please
Thx
andrew

[Andrew in Laure]

skate4life101 i no what to do i just did it take a deck u already have with no wheels go to ur bed room lock the door turn the all american rejects on to star and sit there and heel flip on the board and just focus on hitting the noes with ur foot!

[hayward420]

im with the other guy practice on just a deck its so much easier when you can do that then go to a real board an youll find youve improved just most of all keep at it if u bail get up an do it again it took me 2 weeks of bailing an cutting up my knees to learn the kickflip.keep at it dude :rolleyes:
