No Comply flips anyone? No comply tricks are usually easy for me but I can't figure this one out.
its pretty simple when you put it all together, just lift up and smack your tail against the curb you are wanting do it off, but, instead of how you would do a regular no comply, you jump up off the board and let it do its thing. i think one key to doing this is putting your back foot almost like in a heelflip position. thats how i get it work. then again, i havent done one and havent been able to do one in a bit. but its the best feeling trick ever.

The same way you got your regular skating up to par, practice. It should be easier to learn switch tricks that you can do regular because you already know the mechanics of how they work.

yeah, just be patient and get comftorable with it, have fun with it and itll come to you faster than you think. the less you actually think about it, the quicker it comes.

it took me 2 years of trying to get a switch flip, but in the meantime i got really comftorable skating around switch and find myself doing it more now than i do regular

Thanks to Gest's advice, I learned these tonight. They're pretty easy once you figure it out.

just ride switch everywhere, like *everywhere*.  start throwing your board down switch, push to the liquor store switch, everything.  and when you're doing tricks where you land switch/fakie, don't immediately turn back around.  force yourself to take at least one good, hard switch push, then do another switch trick.  also, pay attention to what your shoulders are doing on regular tricks, and try to do that on switch ones.  practice being able to switch ollie with your shoulders open, without turning a 180, like you can regular.

and don't be embarrassed at how doofy everything looks at first.  a month of skating switch all the time will do wonders.

^^ he has very nice tre flips, does everyone have a friend with really good 360 flips because I know I do and every town seems to have one tre flip guy

heh, i've got the nollie tre friend.  wish i could do 3 flips like ^^ that guy, those were caught so cleanly.


on another note, can anyone tell me the secret to getting my front shuvs to *not* flip over?  how do people do those well-popped, perfectly flat ones?  is the levelling more in the front foot or back?

yeah thats the hardest part, like the natural tendency to just want to skate regular....  my switch push is horrible, all unstable and cross footed....

i wrote a trick tip on fs shoves in previous pages of this thread, but im semi drunk so ill type it again....

foot positioning is key:

front foot in a heel flip like position, toes hanging off the board slightly, behind the bolts

back foot, heel side corner of the tail....


shove and front foot does nothing, it has to remain flat, and the front foot is to catch the board...  after board is caught with front foot bring your back foot on and there you have it....

remember to keep your front foot flat so it doesnt flip....

yeah, it sucks at first.  once you get the fierce switch push it's all you'll ever want to do.  get the switch front carve and you can just write off every other trick.

thanks for the tip, i'll give those fs shuvs another try later this week if i can ever get any time off work!

haha, so true about the "nollie tre friend." also, have you ever noticed that the nollie tre friend can almost never do any of the other 3 tre flips correctly at all? horrible regular and switch ones, but amazing nollie ones.

Hah, I think I'm the nollie tre friend. They're definitely the easiest 3 flip. I can do the other ones, but nearly as well or as easily.

I've completely lost my no complies.  I hadn't done them all winter, and they're not leaving the ground at all.  Back foot is right behind the bolts, and when I push down it rockets up but the back truck won't leave the ground no matter what I do.

Anybody?

I got em like 2 weeks ago. Regular and fakie out. Just try to get the most parallel to the ledge you can get and lean against the direction you slide. To come out you have to be on top of the board, don't lean to far backwards or forwards. Put all the pressure on the wheels. It's hard to describe but you have to be able to push the board back to regs again. And wax this shit up!

ok so rock fakies, i don't so much need a tip its just a confidence thing.  admittedly i hardly ever skate ramp, but i do wanna get into it. so annoying just don't square myself up so i end up coming in like i'm riding backwards. was skating a horrible metal mini today and the shapes a bit off(sort of just past mellow), anyway took a super nasty hang up and slammed straight to my spine on the flat bottom. fooking rock fakies. just gonna do my shitty 50-50s back to back. anybody else dislike this trick or am i alone?

I didn't for a long time.  Basically, you just need to get comfortable with it- there is no secret to feeling good rolling down the ramp fakie.

the more you tweak, the easier rock tricks are.  tweak hard as fuck, but keep your weight in the ramp and not on the deck.  and don't hesitate when you're bringing your board back in, esp if you're rotating for a bs or fs rock.  you hesitate, you slide.

Wallrides from flat.

Anyone care to share their techniques? I've been trying them here and there for over a year now and still can't do them.
[close]



The way I do them is pretend im pumping up some transition but without the transition and jam it up there, and kickturn off fast.  I can only do backside. 

Cool, yea I've been only trying them backside, my problem is when I go to jam the board off the wall from flat I just smash myself into the wall and can't stay on it. I have no problems doing wallrides if theres even a little transition but I can't seem to get them off flat. I've watched the slow-mo one from the Girl - Yea Right intro many times and it seems so simple but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. The kickturn fast might help I'll give that a shot, maybe I'm focusing too much on the wallride and not enough on getting the fuck off the wall.

if you put your hands in your pockets while you push switch, your shoulders will stay straight and your body will look more natural.
its a tip one of the younger guys gave me and it really helps a lot.

Ok, bs lipslides on ledges. I'm going to tackle this the two ways you can come out:at the end or in the middle.

You want to go at a bit of an angle at the ledge, enough of an angle that when you land in the back lip that the edge of the ledge would be close to your front truck. If you land too much in the middle of the board then you might stick or the board might just flop over because you're not balanced.

So go a decent speed, pop the ollie, turn backside and land with a good portion of your weight on your back foot while leaning a bit over your front foot to get the slide going.

Now coming out. If you're coming out at the end and you have enough speed then you might just be able to push a bit on the tail and turn off. If you don't have enough speed or you're coming out in the middle, then what I do is kind of put pressure on both feet then kind of jerk up and off of the ledge quickly, guiding the board with my feet. If you do it right, then you should do almost a mini pop off the ledge without putting your tail down. Then it's just a matter of turning the board back forward and landing straight.
