Was super frustrated with my inconsistency on this trick and I decided to start from scratch on heelflips one day doing all your suggestions (weight thrown back, upright stance, shifting to heels, pop from a full crouch, maintaining the crouch, aiming for the nose) and I had them with such consistency and clarity that I was super surprised. I wasn't even trying to do the foot hanging off thing but when I committed to putting everything together my foot started naturally doing it. I would be so scared that they under rotated because they were rotating slower than usual but they always completed before I came back down. Definitely the most in control I've ever felt on a heelflip. I haven't had them that consistent since that session but every time I try to emulate those steps I get closer to landing them how I had before. Accidently landed a 90 degree heelflip (due to a consistent shoulder throwing problem I have during heelflip flicks) with my feet hanging past the board and it felt so natural with how fast it came up to my feet and how gently it landed. This is definitely the way.

Ive never really struggled with flatground but i find it hard doing any of them in transition.

@NormanWoods 18 күн бұрын

@@LameBalsam whole other strategy for that. I’d say start in really mellow transition. Figure out the best time to pop. For me, I have to pop just before I start rolling backwards. Too soon, and I land in a deck check. Too late, and the board falls behind me. Steeper the ramp, the harder to time.

yo wattup Norman, kinda off topic but any tips on learning how to commit to ollying down something for the first time? I can ollie perfectly fine while moving but get hella scared when attempting to do it even off a little curb; I always judge the height by where my eyes are and saw a tip that you should judge it by where your feet are to minimize your fear but still feel pretty intimidated when doing it. Also just wanted to say thanks for your videos they're def the most in depth and helpful tutorials on youtube; I definitely wouldn't have been able to learn how to ollie and kickflip without them and really appreciate all the effort you put in

Im literally a flat ground enthusiast lol I stay on flat even at the park I skate flat while I skate da rails and stuff jus gotta get them tricks consistent, and im glad I’ve found ya channel early in my progress my 7-8 months have been so smooth I got hella tricks in my opinion and they actually look good practice is key fr and gathering info from others who know how to do it like my guy normannnn⛹️‍♂️

Happy to help. I’ve come around to flatground again, myself. Used to spend hours and hours on flat. Drifted away from it. But I’m deep into it again now.

Norman what up I'm it's vin I'm mostly flat ground trickery but some strange reasonsl.i differ I can Ollie over high stuff premature but I can't up anything anyways IDC thanks for sharing your views keep shredding

@NormanWoods 20 күн бұрын

Might be a mental block. Before I figured it out, I was afraid of going up stairs, because of the distance. But I realized the distance isn’t too hard to overcome, and going up is easier than over.

I can push my ollies over a little gap but kickflip is a little harder for me. I can throw it down a drop but I haven't successfully kickflipped across any gaps yet lol

@NormanWoods 20 күн бұрын

You’ll get there. It takes some playing and figuring what you’re not doing, or need to stop doing. But it comes with practice.

@haroldcampos9661 20 күн бұрын

@@NormanWoods Yeah the first try went pretty bad. I just gotta start trying again. I think probably dial in my speed more than just “fast” to get a good pop. Even I tend to rush tricks, I gotta look into what I’m doing further. Maybe start recording my efforts. I can’t always tell what I’m doing wrong in footage but sometimes it’s pretty obvious lol

just a question, no disrespect. does it really matter where someone flicks their skateboard for a flip trick?

Ive got pretty good tricks on flat but for some reason I have a hard time taking them up a bank

@AnneALias 20 күн бұрын

How many hours have you spent on your skateboard on flat ground? 5,000? How many on a bank? 50? That's why.

@@AnneALiasfacts cuz I got da same issue lol no parks near me so no need fa me to really stay on a bank trying a tricks but ima need get a hard flip on one reallll soon

@NormanWoods 20 күн бұрын

Try pumping into the bank. Helps project you forward. This is a pretty common struggle.

I had the same issue for years. I don’t know if this will help for you as everyone is different but it changed everything for me. This is for Ollies, Heelflips and kickflips. I usually have my feet just below the front bolts when doing tricks on flat, but for some reason I decided when positioning my front foot to do Ollies kickflips and Heelflips up banks, I covered the first two of the front bolts. And I don’t know why but instantly the tricks actually felt controlled. And like I said earlier, I struggled to pop out of banks for years. Until I tried this. Give it a go and see what happens.

@quasar55cancrie65 19 күн бұрын

The secret is that you need to pop your tricks before you come to the highest point where your speed is zero
