- Can an Average Skater Learn to Heelflip like Jamie Foy? Having a beast heelflip like Jamie Foy is very rare. Most skaters really struggle to make this trick level out proper even top pros struggle dipping their heel flips so Last night I scoured the Internet looking for every clip I could find of Jamie Foy doing a heelflip so that I could analyze his technique and show you guys what he’s doing and then test and see if an average skater like you or me can actually use his techniques to improve our own heel flips.
Jamie got some serious training of heelflip master Neen
I think in an interview he literally said he watched Neen do them over and over. It definitely shows
No bullshit that last heelflip was damn good brother. One of the best tricks iv seen you do on this channel
I know you’re going off of an incline in this one, but your pop/jump already looks much better. Both the kickflip and heelflip were solid.
bro to watch you since you started this channel and see your dedication and improvement has been a riiiide. That heelflip was cleeeeeean.
Thank you dude! Hope I can keep it going!
great video. was not expecting that great of a heel flip and you got beauty good job
I can see the improvement in your kickflips, they're getting cleaner and cleaner
Thank you for rocking the merch! 🔥🦇 now ima practice heel flippers 😌
Thanks for hooking it up!
great vid! keep up w the good content
I agree, i always preferred heels to kicks, so stylish
You are definitely right about that flick bro
I would hold on to two bars left and right and would use this to practice my fliccs such as hard flips too and it definitely gets you more confident.
Idk if it’s just me, but i think Yuto has a nice heel flip, any chance you can do a video on his heel flips? Anyways, great video as always !
Can you also do a video on Shane O Neill's dipped Kickflip, he does a really good one over a pryamid in one of his videos
Keep popsicleling myself on heelflips. Been 15 years since I’ve skated but idk what I’m doing wrong. Video was great help! Learn to land with front foot right after this video but still having some popsicles… need help lol
Lead with that knee🔑
Are you gonna keep the dunk shorts going?
There's few pro that awesome at heelflip like Lindsay Robertson, Neen William, and Jake Hayes. But I think the best version comes from Jamie Foy
You are overthinking it. His hips and front foot don't actually move forward. His hips stay over the bolts, and his flick foot does kick straight out with his heel.... if you look at it in slow mo, he stays centered over the board/bolts and kicks straight out with the heel/bottom of the foot exposed. It looks like he moves forward because of the amazing pop he gets. (Like a big ollie) So, pretty much, pop hard in the back pocket and kick straight with your heel, and the board will follow. If you do this, your feet will naturally get out of the way, and it will feel like the board sucks up to your feet, then stomp it....
So, long story short. Pop a nice ollie with the back foot in the back pocket. Once you get to or right before you get the top of your ollie, kick your flick foot/heel straight out or kinda towards the nose, and it will feel amazing!! It's one of the best feeling tricks I've got in my bag!!
I was doing heel flips well and I lost them but yeah I heel flip with the side of my shoe like he does.
Google Lindsay Robertson, he use to skate for mystery back when they were a secondary company to zero. That guy paved the way for ppl like Jamie foy and neen Williams
All about the flick
That heelflip was beast
thats man!
I can’t kickflip for shit but heelflips came easy to me
It looks almost as if he brings his shoulders inwards as he loads up.
I can do heelflips just like him.
I think I could actually teach you the heely hack
Heelflips were the first trick I learned. Kickflips always felt unnatural to me
No one feels kickflips natural at first because you have to practice the muscle memory unlike with heelflips
@@ChrisLKF yeah. Would you say a kickflip flick requires more control/finesse that a heelflip flick ? That’s how it feels to me atleast. When I first learned to kickflip I mobbed them. Kick down off the side. It was really hard to break outta that muscle memory. I’m getting proper flick through the board now. But it still hard to find that sweet spot of catching too much of the nose and flinging it forward or sometimes wrapping it and having it swing around and hit me in the shin 😆
@ponyboy7825 bro said i aint reading allat 💀
Ugh heelflips…. Always had a love hate relationship with them, was either nailing them better than my kickflips or could barley flip them every other day lol.
Maybe practice the ninja kicks first
It's easy as fuck you just have more coordination
The best heelflip on the planet is Marc Johnson..if you had ever seen it in the flesh when he he was in his prime you would understand how it made a laughing stock of the modern generation.
the flip trick content is getting dry
