Last new trick you learned

[BraveUlysses]

Weird, I came in here to post about that trick too. Mine goes into a nosegrind sometimes. Fun trick but its 1/10 for me.

Yeah I think my front crooks go into a noseslide sometimes because I'm not getting over the rail sometimes. I end up just bashing my nose against the side of the rail hoping that my wheel will catch the rail.

It might help to think fs nosegrind when you pop onto the ledge, curb etc.. and then tweak it out to fs crooks. Looks pretty good when you do it "right" to.

I recently learned how to do fs shuvs down shit. Dont know why I havent tried them before.. Its fun as fuck

I did that yesterday and landed one on my friend's rail within a few tries. I also realized the reason I was landing in a noseslide sometimes is because I was going at it at an angle.

[Rumpleforeskin]

finally got nollie flips and now getting close to nollie backside flips!

[bandini]

Was dicking around on flat & realized it had been awhile since I'd learned a new flip trick, so worked on fakie fs heelflips for about a half hour & landed a few good ones by the end. That trick turned out to be a lot harder than I thought it would for some reason.

front crook pop out

[victor333]

Bigspin flip.


I tried a couple months ago - kind of dicking around - to get fakie big flips. I could never even really get close; I had no control over them.


Then, maybe a month ago, I tried them again, and I got one within, maybe, 15 tries. I realized when I first started trying them, I was throwing them WAY too hard. If you just put a little flick into it, it'll spin; it's such a gentle trick.

Then a couple weeks ago, I said fuck it, and just tried a regular big flip. I was surprised how simple they were. You have to put a little more effort into getting it to spin and it's harder to spot your landing, but it's really not too difficult.

Got nollie flips consistently now so I started going for nollie bs flips today and got a few.

Also landed an ever elusive hardflip, switch flips in transition and tailslides on this awkward high ledge.

[VictoriousOG]

Did my first polejam and learned fakie 5050s.

[jacktharipper]

Just learned and now trying to solidify

fakie 5-0
nollie nosegrind
switch nosegrind

can't do any of them much besides shin-high ledges but they're a comin'

[smokecrack]

i just learned switch fs 50-50s on this fat red curb yesterday (it's like twice the size of a regular curb. hey fuck you, this was a big deal for me, okay?)

i also just started getting fs tailsides and fs 180 nosegrinds, 180 out back. finally kinda figured out how to do slappies (used to be scared of them, but they're not that intimidating once you just go for it.)

feels good.

oh, and i'm relearning nollie heels. getting tricks back can be a major pain in the ass though.

(i really want to learn wallrides and 180 no complys this year. any tips on how i can master these SLAP classics?)

nice! that trick is so sick. especially back to regular. as for wallrides. act like you were going to carve a bowl or do a kickturn. also, having your weight centered but a little forward when coming out is key and just let your front foot guide the board as the back foot controls it. i learned them on bank to walls first then after it became easier doing them on regular walls made more sense.

yesterday i learned a new one, not really sure how to say it but its like front board and the board goes back to regular but my body does a bs body varial as if i were to land a front board fakie.

[frank gerwer's nose]

Fakie 5050s are a badass trick. Landed a few inward heelflips today, first really new flip trick in a while.

[mattofallmatts]

backside airs, no grab, on stuff that has some vert and a lip to it.

[finknoos]

bs shifties y'all

[sufodiv]

switch frontside 180 heelflip

[pica]

did a few smithgrinds the other day, wouldn't consider them learned yet.

[Strike A Pose]

Kickflip out of a manual.

I'm trying to get my tech game up.

360flip/hardflip out is next on my list.

[optimusXgrind]

no comply impossible to front 5050

Jealous about the switch f/s 50-50 (I really want to get switch 50-50s both ways down).

For the f/s 180 no comply, my advice is to first learn no comply front shoves. Then, from there it becomes easier to start turning your shoulders with the board. So put your foot on the tail so the inside edge of your foot is at the start of the pocket and your front foot is over your front bolts. Start turning your shoulders frontside. Step to the side and a little bit forward, making sure to step a good distance to the side so your board has room to turn. Then jump and land on your board. Sometimes when you do a frontside 180 no comply, your board will move in front of you a lot, but I actually kind of like that because it feels pretty cool to be able to pull the board back to you so easily.

NOW, for the b/s 180 no comply, I actually couldn't do these until after I learned how to do b/s 360 no complys. It's basically the same philosophy as the f/s 180 no comply, except you have your front toes hanging off the board, your back foot is slightly further from the pocket, and you have to step forward a little more. Again, make sure to step far enough away from the board so it can turn completely. If you just want to do 180, you don't have to turn your shoulders as much as you'd think. Turning your shoulders will cause your board to go 270-ish, but then you can pivot the rest of the 360 and boom! For me, the b/s 180 feels more like a "pop and jump" then the f/s 180's "scoop and turn." This is really hard to describe if you can't do the b/s 360 no comply, so I would definitely suggest getting an idea of how to do those.

Helipop...(nollie bs 360)

[ivegotlevitation]

no comply frontside biggerspin, or no comply 360 bigspin, whatever the fuck you call it. all I know is it does a no comply 360 with an extra shove it.

I've almost got nollie backside flips and fakie hardflips too.

[VictoriousOG]

I've been able to do b/s 5-0 to: tailslide, shuv, and 180 (pop outs). But tonight was the first time I did a basic bs 5-0 pop out, felt good.

[Nydoggular]

Finally learned switch back tails a couple nights ago. Don't know how I did but it was an awesome feeling.

[finknoos]

getting my shifty game on! now added nollie both ways, and fakie bs to the list

also ollie-ing into powerslides

[Mr_Friendly]

Lengthy frontside tailslides/ tailslide reverts on Transition. I'm still figuring out how to perfect them, because maybe 25% of the time my wheel catches and I do this weird 5-0 to tail, which is no good.

Also getting nosegrind 180s more consistent on ledges, very pleased with those.

[clamy]

on some small tranny fakie bigspin pivot fakie.

i kept getting into blunt by accident, so now i'll try them, but slide 'em. that'll probably be the most satisfying transition trick i'll ever do. yet, i can't wait until my ankle is all good so i can get back to learning some other shit.

[Brick]

switch backside nosegrinds coming from the side.  Trying to grind that shit long distance though

[Stoop Kid]

Just learned wallie back 180s and they are so much fun.
