Welp. I'm still not 100% on this BUT...after the onslaught of downvotes (lol) I've learned that...tentatively: IF the skater in the posted video is Goofy then its a fakie BACKSIDE heelflip. If hes regular then its a nollie FRONTSIDE heelflip. Although there's conflicting evidence from credible sources, no offense to other skaters on YT out there, but I found vids of PRO skaters rather than randos in their driveway... So here goes: Here's [VIDEO] Jonny Giger showing how I originally (I still kinda do) think it is. No matter weather its nollie OR fakie the spin name changes, supporting my comment. Someone said he made a mistake in the naming but Jonny consistently calls it this way for all his "4 way trick videos" where he does tricks in all stances. Here's [VIDEO] a (hopefully) timestamped video of Paul Rodriguez doing a "nollie frontside 180 kickflip" at BATB supporting your original comment. Here's [VIDEO] a (hopefully) timestamped video of Chris Cole doing a "halfcab kickflip" at BATB also supporting your original comment. and to make things even more confusing. Here's [VIDEO] a Berrics Trickepedia video of Jimmy Carlin doing a "frontside half cab heel" and is spinning the *oppos…

Damn looking into it idk anymore, this [VIDEO] disagrees with your video (nollie bs flip but he goes the other way). But then this [VIDEO] disagrees with mine, since he’s facing backwards but it says fs halfcab heel. lol
