Next trick trend?

[douchepickel]

Everybody is doing wall rides, and I feel like people are going to start doing shitty flip tricks out of them.  I was psyched when Fred Gall started the front shuv wall ride game though. 

[Suangi]

Reverting into manuals after a quarter pipe to keep your combo going

Yes! and also grinding all the way around pool coping doing combo tricks. Then maybe throw in a bit of freestyle at the end.

I want to see somebody besides Lutzka with proper fs 360 kickflip.

And tech powerslide tricks on bench tops.

I'd be stoked on this...Staba's salads were fucking gnarly as hell.

theres a kid out here who over willied a 13 rail, new trend

[FrenchFuck]

As long as there is a collective group of people feeding off each other's passion , whether it be the industry as a whole/a local crew/specific niches (freestyle/bombing hills/etc) there will be trends.

Broadly defined as Macro and Micro trends. Concerning the Micro we can say that it varies extremely widely and is much more influential on a day to day basis than Macro.  Concerning Macro we can say that it varies very little and influences the most people but in much more subtle ways.

In skateboarding as a whole there is never any "new" trends only cycles of tricks that keep coming back into style , rehabilitated/modernized and if it's relatively accepted it will always remain in some place permanently.

Some tricks are considered trends simply because only a few people are skillful enough to actually make it stand out. Skating up rails , darkslides , no comply variations , late flip variations , extremely tech vert tricks , etc.

Whereas other trends are based entirely on sheer style/gnarlyness. More and more style/skill is becoming standardized. We often hear about east vs west coast style. Robotic vs Raw. In the earlier days punk vs hip-hop. And ever since the wide acceptance of these terms/generalizations we've lost the "surprise" factor of seeing something new and unique. We are purposefully making boxes for people to fit in.

It's up to the point where we are here , on the internet , actively guessing at what will-be-cool. The absurdity of this discussion can be highlighted by the fact that we are trying to preemptively diminish the surprise we will feel , the sudden apparition of something new , as "obvious/logical/natural progression". We don't really want anything new , we want a steady formula to follow.

In all this I see only one thing , we are way too fucking focused on what it means to be a skateboarder and not at all focused on appreciating all of skateboarding. My suggestion is to not pay attention, go out and skate and enjoy the ride.

Wall ride/pole jam to 50/50 down a handrail.

A clip was posted recently of some kid doing this on a park rail.

matt bennett (switch aswell), elijah, and a bunch of other people have done all sorts of variations.

Steve Caballero grinded up and down a rail sort've like that ages ago... can't remember what clip it was though. If memory serves, there was more of an arch in the rail and it was pretty decent sized.

Memory can be so random, haven't seen this video in at least a decade.

[ice nine]

That was really terrible frenchfuck, jesus.

I'm hoping those weird sideways vert transfers that willis kimbel did at burnside in the mikey chin video start to catch on.

Fakie tranny tricks are already so big, seen so many half cab 5-0 to fakies lately, and the raven half cab/switch 180 nosegrind is picking up popularity too.

[Dontfearthereefer]

not flipping the board

[whale]

what about handrail or ledge grinds while grabbing stale via Herman?

Mutegrabbing fs noseslides

[macgruber]

higher, faster, longer

spotfinding, spotbuilding, more diy parks

[Money Black]

Not really a trick, but just skating down streets, doing good shit, but it looking more natural and unplanned. It has already started happening (See Alex Olson in Fat Bill's Transworld's Cinematographer Project part) and I see it becoming more prevalent in the near future.

this is that common i hope you die

Doing tricks on ledges without ollieing into them (like slappies). Janoski has been doing lots of switch crookeds just riding into them. I wanna see more, like a slappie backside smith or switch slappie 5050�s on high ledges.

reading this made me think i might have been posting on a thread that was quite old, as this is quite popular. im still not sure whether this is an old thread or not

[Money Black]

Not any tricks in particular but throwing down and taking three or more serious pushes before setting up.

what the fuck are you talking about....

[Money Black]

im tryin to see more airwalks and maybe sum fakie front shuvs. ugly tricks all day!

fakie front shuvs are my favourite trick, i hope to fuck they don't become popular, but i have a feeling they will

[Random Matt]

^^^^^^^^^
There's still 70+ comments for you to comment about.

[Applesalad]

i hope its where people stop calling their 360 shuvs impossibles and actually do them the right way. IE. templetons impossibles
