Tricks associated with that 'type' of skater

[149cleveland]

Everyone knows a boardslide to feeble is done by team handsome
switch pop shuv revert means you're a DGK
nosegrind tailgrab - everyone wants to be grant taylor

Any more out there?

[HoudiniXLogic]

ATV = Anti-Hero, Creature, Lifeblood

If you actually have fun skateboarding, probably Enjoi or kr00ked

If you're a supporter of your local skateboarding community, you'd probably be riding a local shop deck.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

If you are a hipster kid, the impossible has replaced the 360 flip in your trick selection.
 LA kids love hardflipping off of shit.
Flannel and powerslides
Hip Hop and switch heels tend to go together

[Jive Turkey]

[Dirty Daventry]

No complies wallrides and powerslides are synonymous with fans of Polar/Magenta/etc

[A Not At All Naughty Chemist]

white kids: harflip
kids under 10: pressure flip
black guys: heelfip and any heelfip variation, not including the laser flip
Asians with 5-panels: manuals
Any pro residing in LA: front crooks

[logan chase]

[Noble Experiment]

Varial flips and kickflip sex change = juggalo skaters
I also remember when doing airwalks down stairs went hand in hand with wearing tight jeans, fallen t shirts, and a bandana on your head.

[finknoos]

i see alot of guys in cuffed pants doing back 3's where the front foot comes off and 50's on flatbars

Hesh guys doing mosher drops (dropping into walls and shit)

Aaand, "poppy guys" doing nollie and fakie ollies over stuff

[dirtyweemidden]

i assume everyone with long hair and a vintage acdc/zeppelin shirt is good at frontside nosegrinds on transition

[cuntzilla]

Australians doing Benihanas

[Rein]

Skatepark kids - going 20 mph to have enough air to do a feeble on a flatbar out of a bank.

[MOE SYZLAK]

Fakie 5-0 = Tech skaters ( may or may not include switch mongo push and or camo pants )

[Endless Toedrag]

A pair of vans, tall socks and balding : frontside slashes in pools, getting stoked on 50-50 to drop ledges, AA meetings.

Can't forget the good ol' double flip landed once out of every 30 attempts. The sliding fakie bigspin goes hand in hand too.

[ill_Murray]

I remember a time when kickflip front boards on handrails and Baker went hand in hand.

Lol

Supreme cherry influenced kids: no complies, impossibles, wallies
Just went to macba and it was the biggest reaffirmation of what Middle aged wiggers are like every second trick is switch heel based/ switch back tail based

[Soggy]

why do people skate switch

[karnec]

balding dude who still rocks long hair: alcoholic who hucks down handrails

(every city has one local like this)

[poor alice]

Pro skaters should be judged based on their kickflip front boards on handrails.
Or at least, I remember a time when that was true.

[Iceman]

why do people skate switch

it's challenging

some tricks are easier or feel better switch/nollie rather than regs/fakie

being able to skate all ways multiplys your bag of tricks by 4x

huge advantage in s.k.a.t.e.

boards last longer since you use the nose and tail more equally (unless you're one of those all switch dudes)

same with shoes

[HyperBeam]

skating switch is the pinnacle of the "ah, fuck it" approach to skateboarding. you know, someone is like, "i really wanna hit that obstacle but i'm riding backwards. ah, fuck it. i'm gonna hit it anyway."

[piftel]

i feel like kickflip front board is a trick most synonymous with "contest skaters".

[Tracer]

same with switch backsmiths
