foot almost in ollie position, maybe have your front toe hanging off half an inch at the most
ollie and flip it at the same time, jump with it
catch it and land non straight legged
true, sadly it's a risk that comes with trying to heelflip
since its so much weirder feeling to flip that way as opposed ot a kickflip, its weirder to get used to flipping
yea you definitely have to find the footing to your standards that is considered comfortable. maybe at some point u might fuck around tryin to land a heelflip but you actually do a inward heelflip instead witch is cool!!! But once yo start to get them good, let me tell ya theres nothing like popping a heelflip and actually hearing your feet catching the board in mid-air and just stomping it down all steezy and shit.
fakie inward heels are super fun and easy. but yeah i dont do regular inward heels that much while trying heels but yea i almost got heelflips now. i just gotta learn to catch it hella good.
