Halfcab FS Heelflip Multi-Angle Tutorial

This week, we are focusing on Halfcab FS Heelflip at the Lincoln Park Training Gound Courts located at 4001 Durazno Ave, El Paso, TX 79905.

Before learning this trick it’s important to be comfortable with your Heelflips and Frontside Halfcabs. This trick will be a combination of both and is a fun one to add to your bag of tricks!

1. Setup in a Frontside Half Cab with your back foot in the lower corner pocket of the nose with your toes being the focus as you pop the 180.

2. Set up your front foot just under the front truck bolts with your toes hanging off the edge of the board at an angle.

3. As you pop the nose for the frontside 180, drag your front foot simultaneously towards the nose. As you reach halfway at 90 degrees, use your heel to flick toward the corner pocket of your nose with an outward motion to begin the Heelflip.

4. Flipping at the 90-degree mark helps the board flip with you while you spin and will help keep it under you as you 180.

5. Raise your back foot as you heelflip to allow the board to flip fully under you.

6. Look for the griptape as the board comes around and catch with your front foot to help guide the board with you as complete the 180.

7. Stomp on the bolts with a little weight on your front foot to prevent slipping back and roll away ready for the next trick in your line.

8. This trick takes lots of practice and patience as you figure out the timing of the heelflip. Popping a good halfcab will help guide your heel in place on the tail as you begin the Heelflip.

9. You Got This!
