heelflip
A heelflip is a popular skateboarding trick where the rider performs a flip of the skateboard using their back foot. The skater pops the tail of the board down while dragging the front foot up towards the nose. As the front foot reaches the edge, the skater flicks it outward with the heel, causing the board to spin 360 degrees along its axis.
This trick is similar to a kickflip, but the key difference lies in the flicking motion. The heelflip is often used in various skateboarding styles and can be combined with other tricks for more complex maneuvers. Mastering the heelflip is essential for many skaters, as it adds versatility to their skill set.
