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

Bumping the front wheels off of cracks in the pavement, powerslides, manuals and shifty ollies.

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

the brrrrrap

I purposefully try and hit as many different kinds of gapped surfaces I can, brick walkways, any kind of grate, those raised bump things for the blind

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.

I cast my vote for the curb firecracker

TheLowerBack · « **Reply #11 on:** July 22, 2018, 05:58:40 PM »

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

NOT looking both ways

Powerslides to check speed, revert and half cab back out

ralf_ · « **Reply #16 on:** July 22, 2018, 09:38:50 PM »

oh: switch push

Chapingro · « **Reply #17 on:** July 22, 2018, 09:47:22 PM »

- 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.

Gray Imp Sausage Metal · « **Reply #18 on:** July 22, 2018, 09:48:10 PM »

poweslides, nollie bonks and long cruisy flat ground manuals

CHONGO · « **Reply #19 on:** July 22, 2018, 09:48:42 PM »

ollie up curb
toe drag

I repeat the same shit if I'm cruising. Been on rotation for about 20 years.

Back 180, switch 180, kickflip, nollie back 180, switch front shove, fakie 180, nollie, heelflip

Any variation of these go toos

my english is bad · « **Reply #21 on:** July 22, 2018, 10:51:53 PM »

a simple ollie going fast as fuck

Pappy Jones · « **Reply #22 on:** July 23, 2018, 12:29:19 AM »

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

jtrpma · « **Reply #25 on:** July 23, 2018, 01:42:57 AM »

all kinds of powerslides, to fakie, crail tail, ...
180s, wall slaps and ollies.
that is pretty much everything i do.

listentoaheartbeat · « **Reply #26 on:** July 23, 2018, 02:56:04 AM »

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.

Paul Cicero · « **Reply #27 on:** July 23, 2018, 02:59:01 AM »

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

Nate · « **Reply #28 on:** July 23, 2018, 03:34:36 AM »

Like everyone has said, slappies, wallrides, tail scrapes on manholes. I am a huge fan of fs shuvs out of curb cuts too.

clintendo · « **Reply #29 on:** July 23, 2018, 04:05:26 AM »

crail block skids over any metal plate cover
