Love me a slappy, but curbs arn't often grindable where I live. Recently taken to nollieing manhole covers. feels great when you get a good one...

slappies, pop up and down curbs, crack bonks, no complies, powerslides, wallrides, hippy jumps if applicable, shuvs with no pop etc

basically a polar video

Tell ya what I just thought of: the brrrrrap of flinging a manual through storm drain grating. one could call it... gratifying

Something about just manualling without popping into it on a patch of different colored sidewalk or road feels oddly satisfying.

Nothing like a solid nollie while you're cruising either.

Crack pops. Straight no comply up or down curbs. And those frontside shifties where you don’t really pop, but all wheels are up, and you tail skid sideways

- i'm not sure what the technical name is - but 180s with no pop. 180 carves? frontside and backside.

- manuals over anything with lines/textures that distinguish them from the "normal" ground.

- nollie front 180 then switch front 180 back to regular

- ollie into manual ollie out, ollie into nose manual nollie out, all on flat.

One more vote for firecracker a curb. Also nollie bs 180 followed by switch no comply 180 forever.

I saw at least four people say "crack bonks". Everyone I've ever met calls that a Chinese nollie. Is that just a west coast thing or?

Nah I’ve heard this and I live on the other side of the world, I think people have just dropped saying tricks that have a name anyone might complain about or be offended by, how many people do you see doing gay twists anymore?

Chinese n/ollies feel so good and are fun to do into manuals, rocket ollies or tail skids over manhole covers are fun, I always feel cool when I casually pop up a curb, doing manuals over speed bumps

Most of the time my legs are way too stiff to even pop an Ollie up a curb (which is unfortunate for such an obvious favorite/necessity), but I do enjoy powerslides and bumping cracks. Cruising around warmed-up I love to throw in Half Cab Ollies.

Backside 180 off the gutter but the type you don’t pop. The sound of the slide is beautiful

I would/ sometimes do call them that but there was a time (at least in Aus) where Chinese Ollie referred to a switch backside 180 ... or maybe I just dreamed that?

I heard Chinese ollie. Pretty sure it predates nollies and goes back to dudes bonking coping like that rolling into a vert ramp. Wouldn’t be surprised if the name relates to some stereotype about China/Chinese people, so I’m not too bummed that most people call them crack bonks these days

On topic: I do those...whatever you want to call them, wallride nollies, slaloming random traffic cones, occasionally powersliding completely around to fakie, cruising fakie for a minute, then halfcab powersliding to regular when I’m skating a chill hill.  My all time favorite though is pushing down the biggest hills I can handle pushing down

Post by: oyolar on July 24, 2018, 07:18:03 AM
I'm a big fan of really popped f/s 180s going as fast as possible, then b/s half cab. Sometimes the half cab is full 180, sometimes it's a fakie ollie with a little bit of turning but the majority of the 180 is a pivot. The pivoted version is cool because it feels like so much could go wrong so it's a cheap way to get a little bit of a rush.

Also I like doing the same "line" with back 180s and those super quick back 180 powerslides.

For a while, I'd do the quick back 180 powerslide and then f/s halfcab as quickly as possible after. Was inspired by a Brian Peacock clip I saw and that's a fun one.

When I was in my early teens I had a friend who’s dad was a washed up 80s comp skater. He called them Chinese eyed ollies and had some explanation for them being slanted and backwards. That always kinda put a bad taste in my mouth. Dude was openly racist, and homophobic, but he could early grab method his F150 the long way, and he bought us beer.

Dumb question: How do you do those shifty tailscrapes? Any good clips of them?

I've avoided them ever since I first tried a couple. Felt like I looked as if I was trying to learn how to ollie again. I remember my homie being like, "What the fuck was that?" And not in the way that would imply that his mind was being blown, but rather in the way that he was wondering if I just had a stroke on my board.
