Keep your back straight during the whole trick, jump backwards a bit.

My diagnosis for almost everything is fear. Just don't worry about falling, if you do fall it's not like its off a cliff or something. Jumping higher helped me land my heelflips. If you kick it right you won't have to worry about jumping backward, but jumping backward does help a little.

Well don't try getting as much height with them as you can until you have them pretty consistent. When you bend down make sure that you aren't putting your weight on your toes. Make sure your feet are balanced as flat as possible, then throw the trick. If it helps then try and jump back after you slide your front foot out.
