Watching skate parts mirrored.

[exlurker]

This is for skate nerds I guess.

I skate regular, and much like brian anderson demonstrated in something i can't remember, i really enjoy watching goofy-footed parts through a mirror so they appear to skate regular. I feel like I can relate to it better this way, i guess. It hits home without me having to think too much (i hate thinking).

Anyway, i googled flipping youtube videos and found this: http://chirale.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/how-to-flip-horizontally-a-mirrored-video-on-youtube-quick-howto-on-google-chrome-13/

works great. I stayed up late watching heath kirchart skate regular footed. I recommend this.

edit: BA talks about doing this in episode 1 of his epicly later'd at 6:30

Imo, this  is a terrible idea. Don't tell me you can't enjoy/appreciate a skater to the fullest if his stance is opposite of yours?

I understand the objection, and tons of my favorite skaters are goofy, but I've always thought that I can imagine the way it feels to land a trick better if the skater is regular. It resonates with my muscle memory. Might just be me i guess

Man I hate thinking too.  Somebody was trying to tell me about Christ resurrecterring from the dead and he then he told me to think about that.  I punched him in the belly and then ran away singing this song:

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy.
 I got love in my tummy,
 And I feel like a-lovin you:
 Love, you're such a sweet thing,
 Good enough to eat thing
 And that's just a-what I'm gonna do.
 Ooh love, to hold ya,
 Ooh love, to kiss ya,
 Ooh love, I love it so.
 Ooh love, you're sweeter,
Sweeter than sugar.
 Ooh love, I wont let you go.

Sometimes when editing I mirror stuff to give it a bit of a new perspective, because you tend to get kind of numb to how stuff looks and wheter the editing/filming works after watching it over and over again.

Watching mirrored parts would just annoy me. I was annoyed enough when AWS put out the ad of Heath 5050ing that giant hubba in This Is Skateboarding and the photo was mirrored. I wouldn't put it past Heath to do that switch, but it took me a minute to figure out it wasn't.

Heres what you need to make meth

This is useless without instructions.

[Eschaton]

Is that what they call 'Shake and Bake'? You are a fucking hick if you're making meth that way.

[InternetDaddy]

You are a fucking hick if you're making meth

[Killyourdreams]

I once had a daughter, now I have a prostitute.

[Dominic Hynard]

So this thread is now officially all about meth?

Better than flipping youtube videos.

Who's got all new plans for this weekend? 

[victor333]

Reminds me of that King of the Hill episode.

Bobby does whatever mixing stuff.

and then that chick is like, "Bobby! You're making crank!"

and he's just like, "So what? I'm making a crank machine"

Then she's like, "Bobby, crank is drugs!"

and he's like, "shit"

[Narcissus]

I'm pretty much the Heisenberg of bacon, egg and cheeses.

[Eschaton]

You got Avocado on there?

[floop]

I'm pretty much the Heisenberg of bacon, egg and cheeses.

you gotta put some hot sauce on that

[Narcissus]

That's avocado, all right.

Hot sauce is covered. Papalote's fresh made. Can't be beaten.

[Eschaton]

That looks fucking awesome!

[floop]

every thread should be about this sandwich

[Snowman]

[TONY!]

good for watching parts from daewon or p rod, so you can actually tell what is switch

[FUSE]

Who's got all new plans for this weekend? 

good stuff.  sandwich does look mad good.  on the topic, if a skater is the opposite stance of you, just imagine that they are the mirror image of you.

You are a fucking hick if you're making meth

Makes sense to me. I wouldn't want to watch a part the first time that way, but I kind of see what you're saying about resonating with the muscle memory. Might be cool to mirror some of my favorite goofy parts that I've seen a hundred times to try to get closer to them.
