Practicing SWITCH HEELFLIPS

[@timobrien6499]

You have the best switch heels I’ve ever seen. Literally perfect. Much respect ✊🏽

Definitely up there with Neen williams. Textbook switch heel

[@timobrien6499]

Without a doubt. Just as stylish and smooth. Love it. My favorite tricks to watch and do are just super well done basic tricks like the kick flip and heel flip. Nice pop shuv it as well. The basics ar e nasty when done correctly 😎🤙🏽💪🏽🤘🏽

can you do a tutorial on tweeking certain tricks after learning them? like how you did with your ankles and legs

[@tinman6076]

Solid advice as usual. I’d like to see a video on your thoughts about how to handle coming back from injuries. Dealing with a minor sprained ankle myself right now

[@SKATEHACKS]

Either stop skating completely until its gone or cruise without doing tricks (most people can't do this). I know, the truth hurts lol.

[@Mallzyyy]

SKATE HACKS so true. I am also recovering from an ankle sprain with torn ligaments and it is tough but I avoid skating at all because I couldn‘t just cruise around without doing any tricks lol

[@superskateboardingentertai9228]

This guy's switch heel is HUGE!

[@TerCke]

Whenever i need tips on a tricks i go here and u did like every tricks that i want to learn it’s insane thx u so much

[@kwote]

I really appreciate your advice on where to put your weight. I find that kind of detail really important for every trick and almost no one talks about it. Thanks!

[@dkm5816]

Dawg those switch flips lookin mad good lol I’m jealous. Much love

[@kevindeherdt1111]

great video! you have a good sw heel man , proper catch. ive been doing allot of practice riding switch and pushing, ollieing etc. lateley i gonna try and learn kick-and heelflips this month... thanks for the tips

[@BrendanBFree]

For those who cant slide their foot up the board, try lifting your front leg up while maintaining contact. This really helped my switch heels and kickflips

[@fidelis7556]

bro your switch heel is sooo beautiful

[@JayBoyModz]

I got these but biggest thing for me is getting them off the ground high. I tend to flip them super fast but can only get them to be like a deck high at most. I put my foot in like the middle of the board though that’s probably my problem, but it just feels weird when I put it up close to the bolts

[@theyoutubeist5726]

Dude! Love the channel. Thank you so much. Question : I noticed you catch your flips with a really angled/tweaked back foot(which is beautiful) and though that might change your landing. Do you land flip tricks with most of your weight on the front foot?

[@defrences]

everytime i try this i seem to hesitate bc i dont want the board to go up my ass lol good vid man. even with reg heels it can happen.

[@briancorcoran8266]

It’s just the concept of “Ollie first” in your brain. If you get ahead of yourself on the trick, that’s when you get credit carded up your ass. Also sit a little in the back seat

[@defrences]

@@briancorcoran8266 thanks for the help! I been trying it on and off since I commented and landed only 1 two weeks ago haha. I’ll be thinking of this when I try it again

[@briancorcoran8266]

defrences it takes some getting used to. Our brains are so caught up in the flick we get ahead of it. Ollie first n flick off. Tell yourself again n again. Learned it from Neen Williams. Best heelflipper in the world. Sit in the back sit little bit make sure the back foot is in the pocket so you don’t keep kicking them behind you. Have the backfoot in the pocket staggers the feet ever so slightly to even it out in the air

[@terr4ntul4]

@@defrences how consistent are they now

[@smithsfan425]

I wish I had switch/nollie heels with their variations that everyone has like nollie inward heel, nollie front heel and switch back heel. I like pressure heel switch heelflips, no actual flick or consistency.

[@vecchioutente]

I'm working on those. Do I need really tight trucks for Switch Pressure Heelflip? I ride very loose trucks and feels hard

[@smithsfan425]

Mika P. It’s just the back foot being in the pocket that makes it pressure heel. I hate it, you’re not really flicking and there’s no consistency. They come out randomly.

[@madeinamanor]

Can we get switch varial heels by any chance?

[@xitsox]

Right on time :) I have started practicing regular and switch heels yesterdays and this video us a good synchronicity :) I don't know why, but i pop more easily while being on switch. May be it's because the nose is being longer and the angle of the board is smaller this way. Thanx for the great tutorials. Greetings!

[@ivanvasiljev6570]

This back-foot-action reminded me of Sierra Fellers

[@PalenSkate]

this channel is wildly underrated!

[@verycleanboy8235]

bruh you have absolutely bangin switch heel

[@skateforgirl2099]

My switch heel flips are literally the same as yours. I dont feel comfortable doing regular and fakie too. Great tutorial. I actually setup my front foot more like an ollie with the toe hanging off a little and back a tad bit. Keep up the great content!

[@joshuadansby2874]

Switch heels seem easier for most people to do because standing in switch position your shoulders are naturally parallel to the board (head almost looking backwards - that's why switch is referred to doing backwards similar to fakie position) which is the proper way to do them even in regular stance too. Problem people face with regular is they have their chest forward open like a frontside flip which is incorrect the shoulders must be parallel to the board, flicking foot in ollie position with toes slightly hanging off the board & face looking almost backwards. Regular stance looking backwards feels uncomfortable & scary because it is harder to see where you're going & we are use to looking forward shoulders open on regular stance tricks. Once you get use to this backwards feeling you will find out heelflips in regular stance are not hard at all & then you will be able to start turning you head forward towards your flicking foot & still have your shoulders locked parallel to the board.

[@JossPretty]

Holy S***! That's a beautiful switch heel

[@tompenny5906]

Have you covered kickflip backside tailslide or bs ts bigspin out

[@SKATEHACKS]

Neither but I’ll do them forsure

[@Alan-ec9yx]

i just love this video, you're part of my goldmine

[@clublulu399]

I like how he replays the same clip of the trick multiple times throughout the video. We can really see the form and intricate set of movements it takes to get a trick done.

[@rahmanpermana4741]

I can land switch heels but the problem is I just can't pop them enough. I can switch ollie okay but with switch heels, my flicking foot just can't wait for the board to pop and just automatically flicks the board early. I mean yes it does flip but I hate my switch heels. I wish I'd be able to pop it higher.

[@marcyates2043]

Great video man. Just learning these now. I have pretty good nollie heels. I just think of it as doing a nollie heel rolling backward😂 seems to work

[@simondader3816]

You got those heels on lock ! I just broke my third board tryin to get the regular kickflip well popped at every try. Every once in a while i'm a bit too much on the back, or i launched my board a bit too forward, and all the pressure goes between the middle and the tail of the board and it cracks ...

[@kickyourfaceandlaugh607]

I feel like they don’t make skateboards as strong as they used to. I’ve been skating for 12 years and i never broke a board up until last year snapped my tail kickflipping a 6 stair it felt badass until I started snapping boards like crazy after that 🤔

[@FabianBarajas]

really good break down

[@cory8318]

Could you do a tip video on how to do tricks at very high speeds. I got many tricks moving at a normal speed but I want to start skating at like top speed 😂

[@superskateboardingentertai9228]

? just do them faster and faster you will get better over time. You're doing them at normal speed because you feel comfortable with them. Get out of the confort zone and start banging tricks at full speed. IMO a perfect executed kickflip is better than any other trick. Check out Luan's kickflip over the entire ledge.

[@naidanglover]

any trick is the exact same no matter what speed u go, its just a fear thing lol

[@JuanMendoza-su5zi]

I can heelflip regular, fakie, and switch, but not nollie. But for some reason I can do all varial heelflips regular, fakie, nollie, and switch. Any reason for this??

[@JonathanLopez-uh2es]

Just started getting the flick down yesterday and you posted a video on this yesterday, dope af man

[@worldofdre2232]

Thanks for the video, been doing alot more switch and nollie. My question to you is, do you use your nose or tail for switch?

[@SKATEHACKS]

I usually use my nose as the tail for switch, out of habit. But sometimes I have symmetrical shape boards and I don’t take notice of that

[@worldofdre2232]

@@SKATEHACKS i wanted to get a twin nose. Do you skate twin tail or nose? I find that my regular tricks are alot better with the nose.

[@jp-vo2rx]

@@worldofdre2232 use what works for you. Don't worry about what works for someone else. Just skate. Just cause you've figured out a skate trick doesn't mean you'll be able to do them 100% of the time.

[@StoneyMelony]

his switch heels are higher than my normal ollie, lol!

[@eneaantonicelli3535]

Jesus christ these are beautiful.. I'm really struggling with the motion of my front heel. I notice that my switch forward foot wants to stay in that rolled-in position and doesnt actually flick to point the sole away from me.. I cant seem to shake it. It essentially ends up preventing the board from flipping because it almost wants to do the beginnings of a front foot impossible if that makes sense. Was there anything you focused on when actually kicking that allowed your foot to not only slide off the board at the right top pocket angle, but also point the heel correctly at whatever frame of reference you set? What I mean by this is, sometimes with my switch kickflips, if I envision myself doing a stereotypical ninja jump kick as the final ending position, shooting for pointing the foot above the knee level, it seems to help considerably. My switch flips are high and leveled out when I do this. Is there any frame of reference or thing you think of that allows you to point your heel in the correct ending angle? Do you aim for a heel kick initially? Do you focus on the sole pointing away? Thank you for all the videos man, they are fantastic. I look up to you a lot.

[@SKATEHACKS]

It sounds like you need to retrain that front foot to kick out properly. Practice that motion off the board hundreds of times and start applying it to the switch heels. At this point, it’s just practice and eliminating bad habits. If the ninja kick stance works for you, use it.

[@teriyakov]

I don't get this every time but for me, I really exaggerate dragging my front foot up the board and then off to the side. This was a deal breaker in finally getting a switch heel for me. Really concentrating on how my flicking foot was in contact with the board all the way through the trick seemed to make all the difference. Hope that helps 👊😎

[@eneaantonicelli3535]

@@teriyakov awesome man thank you for the tip! Is your foot stiff in a heel pointing away from you sort of way or is it loose to the point that the board's grip tape dictates the flick?

[@teriyakov]

@@eneaantonicelli3535 I keep it loose but that took a while to do. I started off feeling like my whole foot was a stiff stump with no dexterity but then focusing on dragging my foot up and out made me pretend my foot was almost dangling off my leg. Like if you were using a fine paint brush to draw a swoosh. You hand and handle of the brush do the motion but the brush tip rolls with the paper. Pretend you foot is the brush tip, and keep it loose when you drag your foot up and off the board. Hope that makes sense.

Hey man serious question/inquiry lol, so I rolled my ankle pretty bad and I haven’t skated in little over a month. I just started skating again and my ankle still kinda hurts but it’s bearable, I can do some tricks but I just can’t for the life of me kickflip anymore. I can land one or two but I can’t get the flick back, or my foot just won’t flick at all...any tips?

[@SKATEHACKS]

STOP Skating. Have patience and discipline, let yourself heal or your eagerness will harm you again. Rehabilitate that ankle before skating on it.

[@smallone1653]

INEEDABEAN don’t skate until you are 100 percent again I get you wan to skate but don’t u will ruin it even more just heal and what I did when I was 90 percent in the clear is I would put my socks on and get carpet and roll my ankle slowly at first but then as you hear u get your flick back

Yeah man, I'm one of them people who bizarrely skates switch better than reg too. Like switch flips was one of my first flip tricks after I learned kickflips. I've seen people skate for years and cant even flip switch flips. Had em like my first month on god. Not trying to be cocky because just as good as I was landing switch flips fast I was probably just as bad at fakie. Hahaha. It all comes together over time with practice tho. I'd throw a switch heel down a set over a heel flip anyday.

When u get switch heels good they are way easier to catch than heel flips imo
