Trick of the month July: Heelflips

Fuck doing anything amazing if you’re happy skating then that’s sick. There is little in skateboarding that makes me happy (at forty years old) as much as skaters who have been drifting away from actually skating finding themselves back on a board and being happy

It’s weird, I lived in awkward place for the last 2 years, our DIY went in 2021 which killed it for a lot of us. Motivating myself to go somewhere I don’t really like is hard, minimum 25min drive etc. Excuses. Always loved skating, and Iv skated in France on
My own and it’s shit. Just being back in my home city finally has hyped me the fuck up.

Rolling down OWP there like I never left 9 years ago. @anonymity Scottish Alex was down, Jase few other heads haha, like old times. Iv been back a few times to skate but barely at all. Can’t wait for the next few weeks to be honest.

You’re still young too, make the most of it or you’ll get to my age and think ‘shit, I should have skated more when I had the chance!’ :smile:

Flat ground heelflips used to be my session buy-out in the covid times and I got to the point where I could do them well -ish … Now look at the actual state of it and that was an 8 min clip for that abomination…

you know i don’t think i’ve ever seen you do a heelflip :thinking:

There’s a very good reason for that.

because they’re the best trick and you want to leave something for the less good skaters to do?
