Why skaters like it

Linked in beginner threads when someone can't land heelflips, mostly for Neen's ollie-style foot placement instead of the usual hanging toes.

“Learn them with an ollie foot positioning, I promise it’s better. Go on youtube and watch Neen Williams Berrics how to heelflip tutorial.”

Learn them with an ollie foot positioning, I promise it’s better. Go on youtube and watch Neen Williams Berrics how to heelflip tutorial. [VIDEO] I learned his foot positioning by myself after months of feeling uncomfortable with my toes hanging off, so slowly but surely my foot hung off less and less till you couldn’t tell a difference on my heelflips or ollies. Then saw his vid a month later lol.

In terms of foot placement, I think the master of heel flips explains it better than I can: [VIDEO] But honestly just repetition like any other trick to garner that muscle memory. I can't kick flip so I've always resorted to the heel flip lol.

Doesn't need to but it often helps, especially while learning to get the flip right. Majority of skaters have part of the front foot off. If you're a total badass you do them like Neen Williams, with feet setup in ollie position: [VIDEO]
