Last new trick you learned

[VictoriousOG]

Relearning F/S Disasters on the quarters at my park. Kinda scary, last time I got into, the back truck locked up on the coping and I fell to flat.

[leftcoast415]

anyone put balls to the wall and try vert lately?  it's hard.  but new things are fun. 

other than that, i don't try new tricks, just new spots and old tricks.

Unfortunately we don't have a regular vert ramp around, just our bowl but that's a whole different monster. If the transitions are proper, I love skating vert. Not the best at it, but there's no other feeling like that, from the speed to the weightless feeling once you're at the top of a wall. We had a huge one in NOLA a number of years ago, 13ft with the best transition ever. Fucking miss that.

Back smith back 180s and I stuck a few kickflip back tails on a decent sized ledge.

I can't even imagine how fun life would be if I grew up skating vert ramps

Despite sucking at it, I definitely love just the feeling of riding a vert ramp. Best thing I have ever done on a real one is either a rock and roll or a stand up 5050. I thought rock and roll was scarier though. I really want to learn proper vert backside airs. I've done them on all sorts of shit with vert, but never on a genuine vert ramp. I'd also love frontside airs, but don't see myself having the balls to commit on a full vert ramp. Done it over coping on an 8ft ramp but ate shit really hard trying. On a real vert ramp, those slams would kill me .

On topic, switch backside 180's over gaps. They always felt awkward to float over things and I never really committed to working on them. Did lately, and its a good feeling.

fakie back heels, i am forced to enjoy the small things in life..

[mooraga]

[dankradschwag]

[Eon]

varial flips. im not into trying to flick my board do some fucking jedi mind tricks down a enormous rail over a moat of alligators. not my thing. i just to follow the Cardiel school of thought and go for bigger and gnarlier. and be as smooth as possible. I skate to my own standards. Not the common perception of progression..

Varial flips are a poser trick. As soon as some 3 year old lands one they start to make a sponsor me tape. I would rather kickflip than varial flip, varial flips look stupid anyway.

Varial flips are not very hard, but can be cool
see: Brian Anderson
It's ok though, I remember thinking that when I was learning 360 flips and right afterwards. I thought that varial flips were for people who can't 360 flip. Then I got older and realized that no trick is too tough once you have it down, and a little variety doesn't hurt as long as it is done with style. I love playing skate with people and doing the 360 flip then varial flip back to back. Everybody gets at least one letter from that combo.

[everypennyfedcar]

I learned switch frontside nosegrinds on a ledge today, pretty happy. Also got frontside tailslides, which I've never had.
