MAYBE a fakie flip fakie one foot or a full cab.  'cruising down the street' means going a few mph faster than I usually like to go to try tricks.

nollie crack bonks and popping over manhole covers
Let me preface this post with the fact that I am slightly inebriated, very uneducated and I havent read any papers or done any research at all, or read your post really.

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?
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?

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

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

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.

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

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.
