Author Topic: Why do fakie heels suck? (Read 5523 times)

There's just something about them. They always feel forced, nobody looks casual doing one. Fakie flips ooze style, nollie heels are rarely a let down, but fakie heels just seem like a chore. It's like they're thrown in because the skater already has too many fakie flips in their part. There's no elegance or power to them. They just exist.

Sure there are some good ones, please post any (of course the first one will be Jerry in subject to change) but the vast majority just suck.

Shit heels.

Lindsey Robertson has a nice one in that Mystery Promo from New Blood

Geoff does a nice one in the beginning of his really Sorry part even though it was down like a three stair

Shit heels.

speaking of chores, i remember at the time, watching this entire seven minute hammer report re: "rambo's fakie heel" seemed like a real slog. in retrospect, a lot of the greco stuff in there is comedic gold, whether intentional or not.

I think the truth is the trick just doesn’t look good except for when maybe a select few do it

If a fakie heel were a person I would run up and kick it in the shins

they don't.

It's not the tricks fault it's the shitty way most people do them.

I love fakie heels

All skateboard tricks are great. Stop fetishizing skateboarding.

shannamal · « **Reply #17 on:** July 16, 2018, 08:25:26 AM »

I learned fakie heels because I saw Lindsay Robertson do them in the DC Australia Tour Video, from 2006. They were the shit then and they're the shit now.

It still look way better than varial flips and inward heels

Jabootie Bootie · « **Reply #20 on:** July 16, 2018, 08:49:36 AM »

Nope. Those are good tricks, too. You know what tricks are ugly? The ones you don't land.

If a fakie heel were a person it would be a tall clumsy redhead who could kick your ass

Monkey_Mcpott · « **Reply #22 on:** July 16, 2018, 09:29:47 AM »

Its one of the few tricks i can do almost with no effort. If done right it can look amazing, case in point Lindsey:

Fongstarr. · « **Reply #23 on:** July 16, 2018, 09:45:30 AM »

^^^That is a good one. The real heel flip king.

They suck because no other trick has higher potential for stabbing your taint so viciously.
