Welcome back to my blog. Today I will be talking about the Heelflip. The heelflip is a trick where instead of flicking your foot to the right of the board if you are goofy and to the left if you are regular, you flip it outward or the other way. I hate the heel flip. The kick flip is so much better of a trick. I am horrible at heel flips and they feel awkward under my feet. I hate flipping the board outwards because I never seem to land them right. I like varian heels a lot more because they feel better under my feet, although I never seem to land them.
Heelflips are ugly as heck. They are hard too. The foot position is weird. Varial heels work for me because of the front shuv part. Varial Heels are a front shuv and a heelflip. The foot postion is really good for that trick. Yesterday I went to Santa Barbara City college to skate and I really hurt myself, but the good thing about it was that I landed a nolie varial heel which is a pretty hard trick. I also almost landed a 360 flip and a 360 shuv. My favorite thing to do there though was 50 50 the rail. It was my first time skating a rail and I was very proud of myself for trying it. I will try to write more about the things that I did over the weekend for my next few blog posts, it will still be about skating but more specifically the things I did skating for that day because writing about new tricks is getting stale for me.
Yesterday at CC I was working on Varial Heels a lot because I want to get better at that trick and land it consistently. My goal for the end of this year is to kickflip a stair set. Maybe even Varial Flip a stair set. The one at CC is a good one to do that on, so expect to hear more stories about CC.
