I did one for the first time today down a two block. I felt like it looked awesome, and I know I look like an idiot skateboarding.

I like a good ninja kicky if it's done naturally. Having said that, i would much prefer a cleanly caught backfoot slap kicky ala Mike Carroll.

I'm going to argue that Placebo owes their entire career to a Canadian dude's skate video part. Appleyard should be getting royalties for this shit.

I can't post the video right now but Jake Donnelly had the most perfect catch on this switch flip towards the end of his part in Since Day One.

I fucking love the tweaked foot catch on fakie flips, when it actually looks like they're traveling backwards. I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, though.

Torgeson did a perfect one in a line after a frontside 180 switch crooks in the same video. Really wish I could post videos right now.

glad to see no one talking shit like these are anything like a yo flip. the problem with yo flips is that they make you look like a ballet dancers and not a ninja
