After seeing that Neen Williams do complete wank heel flips, I will fight any man topless who dare say they are steezy or insert cool new word! haha

switch heels are completely unrelated to regular ones. it's usually the case that most people have them good switch, and an unremarkable regular one

Not to derail the thread, but I dont get Phelps saying that Darrell's bs 180 was a NBD. Diego Bucchieri did it back in 97 (98?) and the sequence even ran in Thrasher's contents page.

I vote to make this to be THE definitive steezy heelflip.
steezy heelflip checklist:
- back-foot catch
- back wheels hits the ground first
- board has to be completely on the ground before your front foot returns
-
everybody knows the best heelflips come outta florida i.e. reynolds, lindsey, renaud, lenoce, etc. all of those will suffice to "bring the steeze back"

i can do completley awesome bs heelflips but my normal ones make me feel like a jackass

Be careful patting yourself on the back, you may dislocate your shoulder. And an armsling would certainly fuck up your heelflip game.

Its the opposite for me. I can do regular and fakie heelflips and heelflip variations just fine. I can't do nollie heelflips or switch heelflips, but I can do variations, like switch varial heel, nollie backside heel, whatever. it's fucked.

I agree with this. I don't know if most people necessarily have them better switch, but plenty of dudes do, and switch heels almost always look different than regular heels. Something about facing forward more for regular ones (for me at least). Frontside flips also have a weird regular/switch relationship. I've seen tons of fools with perfect sw fs flips but awful regular ones.

It's true. If you watch BATB you see someone like Shane Oneil or Prod and their regular Heel flips suck, but their switchheels are crazy like
-
there's a lot of dudes with good switch heels, but not many with good regular ones
-
Forget regular, fakie is the money heelflip!
-
I love a good heelflip, and I used to have a prettty good one back in the day -if it matters i'm about as white as it gets, blond hair and everything. Haha. Now I can bust them out sometimes, not very often. Don't have the proper technique anymore. I think fakie heels are easier than regular ones nowadays. I do have really crappy switch heels pretty much on lock though. LOL!

I tend to lean forward and cause them to slightly turn backside when I'm riding regular.
I have a problem keeping my shoulders straight when doing them switch too. I kick downward and nosebonk the ground with them sometimes.
My nollie and fakie heels are my best.
I can fakie heel like 3 feet high, fool!
-
ima tell yall the key right here. grip your toes (more or less) around the edge of the board and have your foot somewhere mid-board. do the ollie motion but focus on making the rear-half of your shoe roll off where you can see your wheel. you dont really have to flick it out but just make sure the board has plenty of room to pop & rotate. i like to place my back foot at somewhat of an angle on the pocket of the board but its not necessary, just make sure you have as much of your back heel hanging off as you do your front toes so the board stays parallel while flipping. have your knees bent for how high you wanna pop & make sure your shoulders are 100% balanced & inline with the rest of your body. im high right now & dunno how much sense thats gonna make typin it out but do em like that and you'll land them perfect everytime.
EDIT: keep your back straight & centered with your shoulders as well

I can't do heelflips to save my life, switch or regular. And that goes for all variations too EXCEPT for varial heel. For some reason i can do decent varial heels but I can't do any other heelflip tricks to save my life. I can almost do front heels too but haven't actually landed a good one yet.

I'm the exact opposite. I can heelflip all day. Fakie, backside, frontside, whatever. All of them except varial heels. I've spent hours trying to get them and can barely even get them to form. Fuckin varial heels.

I've got no problem with Neen's heelflips. Every am on the come up is so good nowadays - every one can do every trick it seems - so you've gotta come up with some point of difference if you want to make the cut. His ninja kicks make for good photos at least, as opposed to the spread eagle three sixty flips and shove its that are all the rage for some reason.
-
I didn't check to see if anyone has mentioned it yet. But the fakie heel down the stairs Julian Davidson did in his new part was badass. Probably the best one I've seen.

I learned heelflips before I learned kickflips. It just feels more natural than a kickflip. As a result, I can pop my heelflips over knee high & my kickflips are average as fuck.

Tough to compare the two. It would be so much harder to make a fakie heel look clean going backside over a rail into a bank like that, plus it is obviously a gnarlier spot. I am assuming you are speaking purely in terms of aesthetics? In that case you may be right, but if I had to nominate one fakie heel as the "best", it would be Kremer's for sure.

yeah i mean even though they're the same tricks, jake's was popped real nice, and he caught it with his knees at his face, while kremer's was landed prefectly even while going backside over the rail. This might be one of the instances where you can't really compare the two

Some really good heelflippers have been posted already but a three-page heelflip thread without a single Wieger van Wageningen mention approaches blasphemy. Especially heelflipping into tricks where others kickflip.
