[VIDEO] [VIDEO] [VIDEO] [VIDEO] [VIDEO] [VIDEO] [VIDEO] ​ No need to get defensive lol. I just linked you a few vids from people who can heelflip but can also teach how to heelflip. These tutorials go over foot positioning, flick, landing etc. so you posting 20 pictures with your feet probably won't help as much as you think. I mean the idea is what matters but you are just coming off as rude and as a person who thinks that their opinion is superior. I flick my heelflip completely differently and they flick nice and high. I learned 90% of my basics by watching youtube, and I think most people will. I appreciate that you are trying to help new skaters but I feel like this ain't it chief

I found this video to go into the most detail, but stay clear: [VIDEO] I hope it helps you figure it out. Specifically, he talks about how doing heelflips stationary makes it much harder to keep the board under you. So giving yourself a little push and learning it while rolling is much more productive.
