I went out with the homies Scotty and Devon and we headed an hour or so north to skate the Madoc Park. It’s definitely an older park and has a lot of big transition. Video starts with us in the bunny park and then we head over to the normal park.

So I had an idea to shoot a commercial for the pcs we were dropping in store. I had written a story board and thought I was so prepared lol. We didn’t get to the spot with any daylight so most of the shots I had laid out were not happening. It was a little chilly, end of November in Canada… you know haha. The guys actually crushed it as we had less then 2 hours to shoot. It’s nothing visually l...
sick man you have a dope style.
I'm right there with you
I was actually going through that heelflip learning process not that long ago. From my experience of long ass days outside trying over and over I'd say try a couple different foot placements and see what feels the best. Once you get that, kick the fuck out that front foot and try to pull your back leg up as if you were going to try and knee your shoulder lol
you're putting too much weight on the back leg when crouching, that's why you'll never land it consistently. distribute your body weight, land clean. to make this easier, move your front heel further back a few inches. after watching in slow motion, another reason you're not always getting the rotation is, because you're trying to start the flick while the tail is still on the ground. your board needs to be completely airborne and the back foot needs to be out of the way as well. lastly, kick your heel up, not down.
Thanks man, I’ll try tonight to keep my weight more evenly distributed and I’ll try to get my knee up and flick out more. It’s a little more difficult with these rusty hips haha. I appreciate the feedback! 🙏
You're super close man. Heelflips are more taxing than kickflips for sure, especially for us elders . Upload a clip when you get it
Thanks man! Your right tho, everything is so much more taxing when your old haha. I’ll keep posting more! Thanks again!
Respect o7
