Difference Between Inward Heelflip & Standard Heelflip

The Inward Heelflip is a variation of the standard Heelflip. In the standard Heelflip, you kick your front foot outward so your heel can catch on the very edge of the nose of the board. Check out our guide here on how to execute the Heelflip. This causes your board to flip under you, in a horizontal motion.

The only difference in the Inward Heelflip is that the board spins frontside while the board flips under you. It looks like the board is moving forward, as it spins.
