HOW TO VARIAL HEELFLIP

[@kevymarstonk]

Johnny Giger is so stylish and dedicated to the sport. He's so inspirational and positive! Thank you Johnny I love your 'how to' videos

Some of the cleanest varial heels I've seen, my mate landed his first heelflip today after trying for 2 years, you're an inspiration

[@hightfly9300]

Been trying for 9 months and every time I'm so close, it gets discouraging at times, but hearing about your mate trying for 2 years makes me not wanting to lose hope!

[@reeyntibbs8226]

Im trying to do a varial heelflip off this spot and this is perfect timing thank you jonny !!! Also ordered your pro model a few days ago still waiting cant wait to skate it😆😆!!!!

[@kojuhh]

This man is holding the phone to film the POV and it’s still perfect. Cracked.

[@dennerjd]

So glad you exist. I wish I could have had how-to videos like this growing up. I had Transworld and Thrasher tips. But nothing like this. Then again, we didn't really have these tricks unless you were Rodney.

[@mRSasha-dv3mb]

I was struggling so much to catch the varial heelflip. It hadn't occurred to me that I should lean back.i will try that as soon as my ankle heals. Thank you

[@surpriseshoveit3514]

Yooo did it work?

[@mRSasha-dv3mb]

@@surpriseshoveit3514 yes actually it did

[@GGMattt]

I've been making a conscious effort to spend like 10-15 minutes during my sessions to try out new tricks, even if it's just throwing my board around a bit in switch/fake/nollie stances and see if anything stands out for me, keeps it interesting :) nice lesson, I'll give this a go. I should theoretically be able to get Nollie varial heels easier than regular because I have good Nollie FS shoves

[@dmitrygreenshift9175]

Try some fackie variations, it must feels even easier

[@FreeZyGames1]

did you get nollie v heels yet ? nollie shovs r pretty good too and id like to know what u made of it :)

[@sgeggo3752]

What a timing jonny! I've been struggling like a month with this trick and looked up so many trick tip videos. But after watching this I went to the park and landed a perfect varial heel after couple tries. Hands down the best trick tip video ever. Keep doing these!

[@greenreaper1985]

I love how high you catch them, looks so good

[@uses0ap]

I haven't skated in decades, but this channel is very entertaining to watch. Keep up the good work

[@SkateboardPLx]

I would love to see Nollie 360 flip. Cheers Jonny Great video as always.

[@imaginryPenguin]

Thank you Jonny! I'm going to do my best to learn these. Also good luck in BATB 12. Just saw the bracket change, and the game between you and Jamie Griffin is gonna be nuts. I'll be rooting for you! Peace and love

[@nog0dsnomasters]

I've got Varial flips pretty consistent, now for varial heels! Thanks for the help and inspo as always, Jonny!

[@ZealousChuck]

The pov shot was awesome🔥 also great video keep it up 🤟

[@salladnothing2346]

Jonny! You’re the man, I want to order one of your decks, not finding any for less than 150, let me buy direct from you lol. I skated for 12-13 years, stopped for 7ish, now skating again thanks to you, your love for skateboarding really shows and reminded me about my own. Almost got the Ollie late back foot flip clean as piss, again thanks to you. Never quit.

[@THmusic420]

I had this on look when I were about 14,(did not know normal heel) then I stoped skating more and more, but around 1 year ago I started to skate again and last week I landed my first varial heel in 8 years. Im so glad I started to skate after al this years because now I know 360flip, hard flip, backside and frontside flip and much more then I ever know before.

[@monot00nz]

I don't even skate any more (bad knees) but love watching your tut videos. Concise and clean 👌🤙🤘

Thank you so much Jonny Giger! I was finally able to land my first Varial Heelflip today!

[@chrisjurica9326]

Yo jonny, love the videos, You've inspired me! Im 31 years old, bought my first deck since i was like 15, today I finally started landing kickflips consistently...THEN.... I landed primo, rolled my ankle ... gonna be like a month before I can get back into it :(

[@kwote]

Your instruction on the direction of the flick and where you actually flick off of is key. Well done! 👍

[@jixal]

Why is a spinning piece of wood so beautiful to watch haha ^_^

[@nvrcflyer2]

[@sergiomontes3569]

just got my first varial heel flip today, so hyped took me 2 weeks of practice now I just got to get them down rolling

[@futterne1d]

Gutes Video mal wieder mein Lieber! Ich hab mal eine Frage. Ich fühle einfach den FS Shove nicht. Ich krieg ihn Switch und Nollie ohne Probleme hin, aber never ever regular oder fakie^^ Heelflips kommen langsam immer öfter - sollte ich einfach mit switch oder nollie varial heels anfangen?^^

[@DjLadd]

i'm back on skating since i graduated from college and i never expect to learn this one thanks a lot man.

[@joegardens1973]

Experience in practice... blood.... sweat and tears... story of my life...

[@luizvitor9267]

You said something that I strongly believe, I also know how to play piano, and there are a lot of things that I can relate with skateboarding(I know it sounds weird) but the part with, focus, training, creating muscle memory and also being a form of expressing yourself is 100% true.

[@EzStevie2k2]

bro how are you able to land 1 million tricks on that board when your foot itself is like 10x bigger than your board thats why you are a god

[@STEEL4122]

Jonny you forgot to say the most important part (a lot of these tutorials don’t say this either), EVERY TRICK, is all about what you do with your shoulders/top half of you body. Couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get this cause I got heels & front shuvs on lock, I wasn’t opening up my shoulders on this trick, was keeping them squared. As soon as I opened them up I start landing it

[@everythingsretros4421]

thanks for how to vids i learned a tre flip and ive been back in skating for 4 mounths i have ollies locked kiflips doable not concestent and shove it not to concestent. but you helped me with all and made me do a tre or var kickflip on acsedent i have a vid of it and the land was sceatch but your vid helped me do them. thanks . sorry bad gramer

Mr Johnny, what a nice lesson. I am going to learn varial heelflips now. P.S. I am sure it was very late info that you are going to face Jimmie Griffin at BATB12, and I know that you don't like when things change at last moment, but cheer up, I am sure you will be able to change vector of you trainings and be in full weapons on BATB12!! good luck!

I've watched so many of these vids I should be an pro-level skater by now. I don't even own a deck anymore and last time I did, the best trick I could manage was a two inch ollie on grass so the board didn't roll away from me.

I was Always wondering, where is this amazing skatepark

[@averageuser5196]

If you struggle with the heelflip rotation, like Jonny says, position your backfoot on the edge of the board and pop straight down rather than trying to scoop a front shuv. Don't worry so much about trying to make it shuv because if you flick out and straight forward with your front foot, the flick will assist in the shuvit rotation. That's just what works for me personally, the moment I try to front shuv the trick it wants to half flip. If you have pressure hardflips, the pop I'm referring to is similar, except you position your back foot further away from the wheel so it doesn't want to pressure flip and instead gets a solid pop. For me, it keeps the trick right underneath my feet and I don't have to lean back or jump back towards the board so much. Good luck dudes and mad tips Jonny, varial heels are hard! Learn them fakie if you can't get them regs because rolling fakie gives you momentum to keep the board right underneath your feet.

[@Dave0Star]

So if I am struggling to pop these(which I am) move my back foot more towards the tip of the tail? But when I try this I struggle to get the shuv rotation?

[@averageuser5196]

@@Dave0Star I put my back foot right on the edge of the board in the heelside pocket. You can flick most of the varial heelflip with just your front foot, it can help with the shuv motion. I can't do them putting my foot closer in on the tail, this is just what works for me haha.
