A heelflip is very similar to a kickflip. It is basically the exact same thing except you kick your foot the opposite way you would with a kickflip.
Here we go:
But first:
What is a Heelflip? A Heelflip is where a skater ollies (or jumps with his or her board) into the air, and flicks the skateboard his his or her heel so that it spins in the air along the nose-tail axis, with the heel-edge coming up first, while staying parallel to the ground. The board spins once, and the skater lands on the skateboard when the wheels are facing the ground again, and rides away.

Place your feet like you would with an ollie. Make sure your back foot is across the tail so you can execute the "POP". Place your front foot near the center of the board. Hang your toes off a bit.
Pop the board just like you would with an ollie. Right after you pop, kick the heel of your front foot forward. Once the board has been flipped, jump into the air. Make your you kick your front foot out very fast so the board spins very tightly. Then just land and roll away.
