I just got back on my board from injuring my ankle about 2 and a half months ago. I still cant flick with my regular foot so i was wondering which is easier to start out learning a nollie flip or switch flip, and a nollie heel or a switch heel?

Learn all 4. None of them are gonna be easier than the others it just comes down to what feels easiest for you. Like I have a much nicer nollie flip than I do kickflip so I prefer them and I guess you could say find them easier. But when I learn a new trick I try to learn it all 4 ways. Switch fakie nollie and regular. Thats what I recommend you will be a better skater with a bigger bag of tricks.

I know the feeling I had a bad lead foot ankle injury. Just practice, in my opinion nollie heels are easiest, and a good place to start. Its more of finding the perfect foot placement on nollie heels rather than the flick.

I'm fairly certain nollie/switch flips aren't gonna be easy regardless? Although I have like 3 nollie tricks down, including nollies... Never been a big nollie/switch person.

I find nollie flips and heels a lot easier than switch flips and heels because I am just naturally used to rolling regular.
