If you love skateboarding, then you will definitely want to learn as many tricks as you can. If you can do the Ollie, then you will want to know about the different tricks that are associated with the Ollie. Although they are more difficult to achieve, the results will definitely be fantastic and will awe a lot of people.

One trick that you will want to learn is called the heelflip. This kind of trick is similar to the kickflip but is a little harder to execute.

Heelflip is where the skateboarder does an Ollie to get him or her into the air and flicks the skateboard with his or her heel in order to let it spin in the air along the nose to tail axis. In this trick, the heel edge will come up first while staying parallel to the ground.

The skateboard will spin once and then the skateboarder will land on the skateboard when the wheel is facing the ground again. After landing, the skateboarder will ride away ready to do another trick or two.

It is important that you know how to do the Ollie in order to achieve the heelflip trick. You have to remember that this trick is another variation of the Ollie and is more technical and more difficult to execute.

To start, ride the skateboard with your feet in the Ollie position. However, you will want to have your front foot placed a little forward on the board and let your toes hang a little off the board. This will make the trick a lot easier to execute.

When you are at a considerable speed, do the Ollie but right after you pop the board into the air, you will need to kick the heel of your front foot forward.

After your front foot leaves the skateboard, you will need to point the toes of your front foot up in the air and kick your front foot forward. You will want to flick the edge of the skateboard with your heel, hence the name heelflip.

When the board is spinning, get your feet out of the way. After the board makes a complete spin, you need to catch it again. Keep in mind that the board will spin rapidly so look at the board when it is spinning in order to know when to catch it with your foot again and get ready for the landing.

Once you've caught the board, prepare for landing by bending your knees. This will help you absorb the impact when you land and help you with your balance.After that, you can just simply ride away or do another trick on Skateboard Easy Tips.
