Back Heels:

I find this easier than the heelflip because it flows better and feels smoother.

You need to know the heelflip and the back 180 ollie, learning nose manual pivots are also useful because if you don't do the full 180 you can pivot/powerslide the rest...

Set up for a heelflip, or an ollie, because I think toes hanging off are ugly.
Start you backside 180 ollie, make sure to do a 180 with your shoulders, not your hips, because if you whip that shoulder around, your hips will follow.
When you hear that popping noise, don't drag your front foot straight up for a heelflip, drag it diagonally backside and kick that heel off the edge of the nose, your board should flip, finish flipping and reach it's peak at about 90 degrees, now finish off the rotation by rotating the last 90 on the way down, it's quite hard to get a clean 180, so if you are doing it flatground, just powerslide the rest. When you land backwards, some people have the tendency to land leaning slightly on their front foot, as in heelflips. But since you land backwards on back heels, shift your weight slightly onto your back foot as you land, so you don't shoot your board out. Now practice this one alot and you should get it within couple weeks.

Now go do it down el toro.

Remember to rotate shoulders first...that the key to this trick.

^^^ haha

i bet someone will do it down el toro someday

Yeah, I'm guessing in couple years little kids will be kickflipping 20 like its nothing...low, mobbed, and ugly kickflips...


Ok, back on track, if you guys want to seee a good example of back heels download really sorry and watch PJ Ladd's part, he does couple of them switch, and down ilke double 4 sets... So steezy.

I was trying these before and was getting close this should help me alot thanks :D

Never tried one of these but i will now.

Thanks for the tip.

You should put your back foot in the pocket of the tail too, it helps a lot.

Whenever i try these my board only does a half flip and i land on it upside down =[

nice guide my switch ones flow alot than my normal ones for some reason but i think it was since i got my switch heels down

Awesome trick tip, I can only land these fakie, but I'm going too try them regular again tomorow.

i love doing these regular. like he said they feel smoother and it flows better

I learned these by my self haha....

i find the back foot position is closer to the ollie than the b/s 180 or b/s flip.

this is because the turning of my body and leveling-out with heel naturally whips the board around.

if the back foot has too much scoop, the board goes flying behind me.

also if you don't commit to the 180, the board goes flying behind you.

i tend to catch these high, unlike f/s heels or b/s flips which i barely have to catch (or i catch them at 180).

so really its just like a heel for me, only i turn with it.

wow man 10-15-05 and it is still going on 12-13-08

I always ant get the flip, im just kickin out and dont even touch the board

im really close to these. i've landed like seven of them buttery, all the others, just sketchy the whole time.

I find them a lot easier now :D

I'm going to try the tips, and see if I get them I was working on them for like yesterday and a little today. Yesterday like 2 times I landed on it but both my toes where touch the ground and same thing happened again on my first try of the day today i exspect to get them sometime soon.

I like to do this trick switch stance.

This a ill trick once you get it down smooth. The best way I learned was on the side of a hip, it teaches you to catch the board with you back foot.

wow thanks for this guide it really helped

I am so far from landing these

I finally got this, I think halfcab heels are easier though. and cooler looking
