Replying to POET'S CORNER
To the lay person, they both kinda look the same. They both are skate flip tricks, and neither one is lame. One flips this way, and one flips that way. I'd like to explain the difference, well that is if I may. The kick flip is a flick, off of the toes and the foot side. The heelflip is a karate kick, and it is a tossed high and wide. The kickflip is the Godfather it's been around days. The heelflip ia a bit newer; different vide,different displays. You can try to learn them both, or you can learn squat. Avoid ankle rust, and also foot rot.
