Ok so i recently started heelflips and here is all i can say to help you guys.
First you have to think like an ollie and like a kickflip.
Like an ollie- you have to kick back and slide your foot forward then flick.
Like a kickflip- you need to hang your toes off and you need to flick your heel its like a roll of the heel as it slides up.
The next thing you need to know aftter kicking back and flicking it up is where to flick, some say off the board and some say the nose but its neither find the spot on the side of your board near your hard wear ehere your nose meets the rest of your board that is where you fllick.
Now put it all together and you have a heelflip.
If you already have heelflips but they are inconsistent or sketchy and you cant take them while moving or off of anything try this exercise. Get a friend with broken toes or a notch board, and set a goal between 25-100 heelflips this also applies to bad kickflips and start doing them, take a break not for a long time maybe to get water and keep going back, it may take you 20 minutes to get the first five but after that you will start getting them more consistant at 25 you should start doing them while moving and so on and so forth. Hopefully after this exercise you will get comfortable with them. Im going to do this right now.
-good luck, and have fun
