Chris Pfanner performs ye olde frontside shove-it heelflip
That monstrous varial heel in Chris Pfanner’s second batch of Pfriday stunts prompted some round-the-campfire rambling over other notable examples of the trick. Here’re three of the best:
-
Rick Howard‘s always made them look good. The frontside half cab variation bears his name – Howard flip (or Rick flip if you prefer).
-
Geoff Rowley showed his mastery in Sorry, including to five-o, switch over a picnic bench and fast and lengthy down the infamous Santa Monica triple set.
-
There’s only one example in Andrew Reynolds‘ The End section but wow it’s a corker – so solid you can hear all four wheels whump the concrete simultaneously.
One question though: how come nobody calls them frontside shove-it heelflips anymore?
