• First you will want to learn how to Ollie and you must be able to do Ollies easily.
• To successfully heel flip start rolling down any pavement you can find, act like you are going to Ollie but when you foot reaches the nose of the board flick you heel into the far corner of the board.
• Be sure to get your heel right where the nose starts or you will not get a decent flip. Now is the tricky part, catching the board.
• Once you have gotten comfortable with the flipping part of this trick, work on landing centered on the board and rolling away smooth.

Troubleshooting

Be sure to stay balanced like a normal Ollie that is the biggest mistake I see people make doing this trick. Also you may want to try this trick in the grass first I found that way a lot easier.

Congratulations!

You have just learned one of skateboarding more basic flip tricks and you can build off it to learn many more heel flip tricks, suck as varial heel flips and 180 heel flips.
