I prefer dudes who skate little or no switch. I'd rather work on my regular/fakie tricks than spend hours trying to flip my board with the wrong foot. I'm not that motivated or talented though.

Chet Childress surprised me with that switch line around Burnside in God Save the Label.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Justin Eldridge for this. I can't remember a single regular trick in his "Yeah Right!" part. Maybe a BS shove nosegrind down Sylmar if that was the same video.

ohhh i dont know about that man... rune glifberg, bob burnquist, tony hawk, lincoln ueda, lot of them skate switch really well... and switch on tranny is fucking insane its like skating handrails switch. you actually have to be really good at switch to skate tranny because you go to fakie on a lot of tricks (especially mini ramp).

i'm pretty sure skating handrails switch would be a lot easier than skating a full sized vert ramp switch especially with all of the flip tricks, grinds back to switch, and airs they do

ya it never bothered me if a guy didn't skate switch in his part. as long as he was pushin it and makin it look good i was always pumped.

whoa i never actually noticed that!!! his shit is always insane but always stokes me so much... probably because its always regular and fakie and that is all i can skate. so in order for him to stoke you on regular tricks it has to be that much more difficult.

but actually that guy you can kind of tell he is still decent at switch because he does shit like nosegrind pop outs and stuff he probably just doesnt have all the flips and grinds like someone like pj for example who just has everything both ways and skates regular not goofy

the only thing i can remember jamie thomas doing switch is a 5-0 180 in a line in ride the sky. As far as I'm concerned though when you're that gnarly why would you need to skate switch.

Yeah, he did a swithc 5-0 180 in a line in Misled Youth, also, probably the best I've seen (balanced, and popped out), I want to say at Bricktown with like a front feeble on the rail or something. He also does a switch line, switch crook a bench and then switch boardslide a rail. OH! and switch lipslide the venice hubba!

I can't think of any Markovich tricks ever being switch, but I could imagine some very 90's switch frontside flips in lines going down.

I don't know, it's never really bugged me, I don't even notice when there's a complete absence of switch skating in a part. If anything, it actually pisses me off when kids on youtube leave comments on video parts like "yea he alrite but needz 2 sk8 swich moar" like skateboarding comes with a fuckin' syllabus

Sure is fun to nerd out over, though!

rawbertson. · « **Reply #57 on:** October 21, 2009, 11:54:09 AM »

switch 5-0 180 is not really a "switch trick" though because you are landing regular; the point im trying to make is it would be easier to do that than just switch 5-0 pop out middle... although they are both really fucking easy so i suppose it just has to do with what trick you want to do next.
