I am not reading all that just here to say that this one by Scott Johnston is the best varial heel of all time:

Kyle Leeper does them this way too, though maybe not quite as good as SJ. (Baltimore Ravens quarterback? A tad bit better!)

Here at :40 for example. He does a better one elsewhere but can't remember what video.

There is one that I am thinking of that is maybe filmed top down but cannot find it.

The one at 2:15 in here is good though:

Also the ender is essentially a carved varial heel.

And just remembered the varial heel crook in the Derek Fukuhara part (15:17):

I see Pluhowski was already mentioned. 1:22 here (just after the best ever flip nose manual)

Damn that was sick... thank you for posting this. I have never had a desire to learn these until that one.

I only ever got switch ones on lock. But seeing these again I'm also inspired to give them a go. They look like a kind of pressure flip this way.

The one @Suangi posted above is also very nice.

I usually let mine bounce off the ground a couple times….

I don't care about this thread, especially since Bryan Herman is the best at everything including varial heels so using his as a negative example is an immediate and inarguable indication that the position held by the OP is without merit. Ok, I care a little bit about this thread.

Mostly I just wanted to point out that the mini ramp Girard is skating prior to the clip referenced above was in every video ever made for about a year. If no one has made a montage of all of the clips filmed on that ramp, they should. I would watch it.

Thanks, have a nice night.

I prefer my varial heels flat, thank you very much

Casting my vote for best variable heel - Guy Mariano 0.33 mark

[crepes]

Scott Johnston's looked like he ollied then late varial heeled. Or ollied then said 'get this board away from me' and shoved it away where it varial heeled and returned.

I've wanted to skate a mini with a bank like that since 411 23. Never found one. Here's another minute of it at 37:15

i think that mini was at giant distribution. looks fun. i'm scared of trying to air over coping on regular qps and something like this would be a lot easier to learn on. here's another 45 seconds of the mini and a nice tim o v heel at 1:48.

That's so off the nose, incredible, reminds me of forward flips.

Overrated trick in my opinion, I hear good things about it but for me it's just a harder version of a varial flip. The kind of trick I can do from time to time but I don't even care about practicing it.

That last sentence really makes you come off as an insufferable cunt.

HHAhaha true, made me go back to actually read the full thing

[CAPTAIN NOBODY]

Reynolds has one of the best varial heels.

Off topic but Bobby Puleo does the most sensational fakie ollie in this like 30 seconds later.

[Dooky-shoes]

I say flat but whatever you call SJs’ is the correct answer
