|
|
I was talking to this kid today about which one is which, I was sure a varial heel flip was a bs shuvit and a heel flip and an inward heel flip was a fs shuvit heelflip, so which is it? I was thinking inwards are done fs shuvit stylke because they look like an inward motion... aany one know? Thanks in advance. _________________

Hey Fred,
You have 'em backwards, inward heels are the backside shuvit & varial heels are frontside. Essentially varial heelflips are s'posed to be like varial kickflips in reverse. The varial kickflip flips towards your toes & spins backside, the varial heelflip flips away from your toes & spins frontside. |

Thanks Jester. I thought inward heels (what I thought they were) were called that because the spin looks sort of inward. Oh well thanks for clearing that up. _________________

Yeah, skate trick nomenclature can get real confusing. Actually, a lotta people think the same as you did with varial heels, it makes sense 'cuz the varial kickflip spins backside. |

isnt it named an inward heel because when you get the 180 the board is then rotating inward like a kickflip instead of like a heel. then again it does the same with a varial. _________________

a twisted flip is when you do a varial kickflip with a fs body varial. imagine if someone did a hardflip with a bs body varial. _________________
