heelflips

[blind ruler]

my friend needs help on heelflips antbody got ideas:confused:

[Mrock]

First, SEARCH. God knows how many heelflip threads we have on these boards...

Second, saying "needs help" could mean anything. It could be ANYTHING. Don't be so vague. Tell us EXACTLY what you or your friend are doing, step by step...so that we can figure it out. That's the only way anyone can help...

ok so hes flippin the board right its just it doesnt land naer him so he cant get his feet on it

[Mrock]

Make sure when he bends down, he is NOt bending his back. Tell him to try to bend with JUST his legs, and jump straight up. Once he pops, make sure he is sucking his legs up as far as he can get them...

Wtf, whats wrong with bending your back? I hate it when dudes look all stiff when setting up and landing a trick. Do whatever works, not all this fancy karate fighting stance shit. Just kick out, keep your foot out of the way until it flips, and bring your foot back really fast.

[blind ruler]

right on

Oh yeah, cause I don't know what I'm talking about, right? Ask anyone on the boards..

The whole idea is that you are bending at your waist, but you are not bending your back. If you lean forward, by bending your back, the board will land behind you. If you lean way to far back, then it'll go in front. If you make sure not to bend it, with practice, it'll land fine.

Once again..I think I *might* know what I'm talkin' about....I repeat, MIGHT...

But if you want to bend your back so that you look like a little girl in gymnastics cl***..go for it. Send video of you doing it that way, I could use a good laugh!

nah

LoL right, heelflips have to be your way right or else they aren't heelflips. Of course! It's not like we're talking scientific formulas and shit. This is skateboarding. The free-ist sport in the world. You can do it anytime, anywhere, and anyhow.

I mean I don't bend over like a porn star when doing them dude. But I certainly don't think to myself, DON"T BEND YOUR BACK. I just do whatever is comfortable.

[blind ruler]

same

blind ruler- you joined in July of this summer, do you really think you're in a position to start stuff? If so...then all I have to say is:

:p

[blind ruler]

what you mean

[T O O L]

So did I. Your point?

[Mrock]

My point is, I don't think anyone is really in a position here to get *****y on the boards...oops, to late. Again: :p

[blind ruler]
