Last new trick you learned

On a mission from hell to learn switch flips.
I'll make sure to let ya'll know when I get it.
My friend's on a mission from the very deepest depths of hell to learn switch tre so I'm in a good company.

I feel for you!

I tried this with nollie flips last year and gave up. Even did a nollie flip session that lasted 3 hours without landing.... Fuck that trick.

On a brighter note : landed a varial heel first try in my first session in a week. So I guess I know the trick now as opposed to landing it once in a while.

I think after a certain point during a session you're no longer progressing with the trick; most often working on something for that long is almost counter-productive and it's highly unlikely you'll nail it.
But we've all been there, hehe!

That's plagiarism, Marc Johnson should sue your ass

I've started learning Nollie flips recently, the main issue I have is flicking out properly, I seem to be able to land them but without getting a good flick.

Varial heels - so hit and miss for me, I've landed a few but I have to put so much effort in to get the right flip.

I dont know what these tricks are called but i just call them a nollie big ass heel and a big flip back 3,Its just a nollie big heel but the board does a 540 and my body does a 360 and the same for the bigflip.what the fuck are those called?

gazelle? That's what I always call them

Nollie flips and Switch flips are one of those things you have to practice and learn through brute force. When I first started doing them they felt weird as fuck. Then if you just always are trying them, they will start to feel like a more natural motion. Now I can do nollie flips more consistently than kickflips. You just have to put in the time trying it to make it work.

I find that if i concentrate on flicking my switch flips like my regular ones they always pop and spin better, Like concentrating on making that front foot do the same motions as i would on regular kickflips

Got my first bs 180 the other day. It was horrible, but I'll take it. I literally cannot figure out how to do them well.

practice, practice, practice. I don't setup my feet in the ollie position; I put my front foot a little closer to the front bolts.

Having good pop shuvs helps, too. A lot of people say you should look at your back foot, but I don't think I do. Whatever helps, just stick with it.



Learned varial heels about a month ago. Still really sketchy for me. I have to hang a lot of toe off (almost half of my foot), and my front foot is also pretty close to the back bolts. Reminds me of kids who do treflips with their feet really close together. Whatever, though, still pretty happy

good advice here

Nollie 360 big heel and b/s 360 bigflip.

man, I feel like I don't learn anything new anymore. Just relearn and forget and relearn and forget.

Yep, same boat.  Still have fun though!  I had heelflips for 2 weeks, popping them really high too, now they want to go inward and only flip halfway.  Fuck them.

hate you suck at skateboarding.

Texas plants, unfortunately nothing like grosso though. �If only.

I just learned those too. Except i did them on a bank. The cloest qp's near me are shitty metal ones. And i'll be damned if im gonna learn foot plants on those janky things.

I want to get a nice hop in now rather than a faint hearted step

foot plants are so dope when done properly. i love dorking around with them.

Amen to that shit nephew! On the right ramp you can just get away with the best shit! In a weird way (to me, and I can't really explain it) footplant tricks are like the french fry curb of transition. Just so much shit you can do with 'em.

On topic- I can get a pretty solid bs 360 nollie without pivoting now, but they look weird. Having said that I skate weird so I guess it all works out. I can do 'em off smaller things, and trying to get them up curbs but they turn into helipops, so I'll just claim helipops up curbs, too. hehe

[Joust Ostrich]

hate you suck at skateboarding.

and you suck at having a normal looking dick.

^ HA

Frontside heels, that shit has alluded me for many years landed on a couple the other day, today wasnt as promising.

im trying to relearn nosegrinds, and i was fucking around and learned nose grab to tail stall on a curb.

I thought nollie back 3s were helipops? What's the difference?

I fairly recently got that trick, too, but I still have to pivot a good 90 degrees. Weird trick.

[MuchasGracias]

I learnt back 3's today, there hard though. Once you spin its just a blur for like a second, but there fun nonetheless.

I hope for your sake your taking your front foot off. Snowboard style is now cut.

Hahaha I knew someone would mention the snowboard style. But yes my front foot is coming off, comes back on just before i land, its unintentional too I don't think i could keep my front foot on even if I wanted to.

I could be mistaken, but I think the only difference is the pivot... at least around here, a helipop would be a bs nollie (180 degrees plus) to pivot, versus keeping it in the air & spinning it all the way around.

One foot impossible...but inside.

[HATE!]

I've been thinking about no-comply tailslide reverts, so that's what I'm going to work on.  I need to find the proper little bank or quarter though and that might be tough.

[Magic Pizza]

Have you ever done a boneless tail slide? On the right obstacle they can feel pretty awesome.

No, I actually hadn't even thought of one until that Skate NYC thing that Zered was just in on Ride.  That's another one to try though.

BACK TAILS

Haha! I did a couple back tails going slow the other day, I love the feel of it. Just quite hard to stand in it and hold it. Would love to be able to back tail like T puds!

Just have the confidence that you won't slip out and keep the wait on the back foot.
