Hi honestly I would work on you ollies first before going to heelflip but thats me. About the help I would try keeping your shoulders square with the board pop higher and tuck up.

I learned the ollie very quick, i can ollie about 30 cm, and land 7/10, so..but ill try the shoulder tip...

I don't think it matters much about your height, or consistency right now. Do this: Work on your standing still ollies, and moving...till you get them 9/10 or better...because the ollie is the basis of every trick there is, it's what controls all of the tricks (except freestyle...).

As for the heelflips...keeping your shoulders square is good...but make sure you jump straight up...suck your legs up..and just have confidence. Here's a page I made if you want to check it out:

Good luck bro.
