Illusion flips

[Alan]

There's a hardflip/fs flip done through the legs properly and then there's an illusion flip... Just because the flip isn't completely horizontal doesn't make it an illusion. Just saying.

If my friend does an illusion hardflip in a game of skate, i just fs shuv and he can't say shit to me.

Fuck it.  I can't do proper or illusion.  I've pretty much given up on controlling my board and now I just let the board control me.

Here is one of the best




Illusion flips are ok to hate, but trenihanas are perfectly alright ... I guess that's what they mean when they say skateboarding has progressed.

[Tarquin]

the one at 1:46 is crazy looking.

i love when people tell me my hardflips dont count (the proper way) and insist that the "illusion flip" is the proper way to do them. there are a lot of old, bitter kooks who are trying to get back into skating these days. but especially back in like 2002, i was actually one of the first people to do them that way during the "comeback" and people talked shit on how it was a "fs varial flip" or some shit, and how the other way was way more proper. i remember doing one and seeing bryan herman doign one in an emerica ad like right after, he was definitly the first pro to bring that back.

i think steve olson used to do them right though back in like 94 if you REALLY want to get technical. actually im pretty sure daewon's love child ender was proper hardflip too (aside from a little crop dust). so that is how they were originally meant to be.

kris markovich had a really nice illusion flip on the element video i believe... 3rd eye view... new mexico hip. i wonder if that spot is sitll there...

i'm pretty sure you're an idiot. people have been doing proper fs flips since street skating began, you weren't the first to make them comback you person..

yes i was. ask any of my friends i have been doing them that way for years kid. and daewon song did the first hardflip ever on love child. so you are just a clown. show me an example of any video between 1996 and 2002 where someone does it swanson.

the line at 1:01, Cairo gives you the full run down.

I remember him saying in an interview that he stopped doing nollie hardflips because people gave him shit for them. I say whatever. He could do them over bike racks off flat. That's sick.

3 in a row!
