Tricks that are cool one way, but not cool another way...
« on: January 02, 2018, 02:31:21 PM »
For example, I think 360 flip noseslides are best on ledges or handrails, but not as impressive on a bank-to-ledge.

Back lips on ledges get a pass. Frontside, not so much.

I also hate watching bs bigspin out of a front tail (maybe it’s called front tail 270 shuv idk) but I love watching front tails with a front bigspin out.

along the same lines, a back tail front 270 shove out is sick while the frontside version of that trick is pretty lame.

@1:43, It's like a pop shuv and then he throws it another 180 after he catches the shit with his hand.
My fellow-poser buddies would refer to this a "turntable" but I hopefully will never see anyone else attempt this trick.
I swear if I saw someone trying this i'd slit their throat and not a court in the land would convict me of malicious wrongdoing. Who else could do this without feeling the fire of being called a stinkbug/etc, and rightfully so?

For whatever reason I always thought this trick was called a flyswatter? Also how does anything you said  fit into the context of the thread? I always thought this trick was mostly uncool because the type of people that choose to learn it tend to be gross. Bam does it well though, sorta delicately.

The "turntable/flyswattter/et cetera" is cool when it is done by Bam Margera,but anyone else doing it gets well deserved hate. That's all i'm saying

Back 180 5050s are usually sick
Front 180 5050s are usually not sick

Same with
Back tail back 360 and front tail front 360
Back smith bigspins and front smith bigspins
Back 180 nose manuals and front 180 nose manuals

Or maybe I just prefer backside to frontside

Also, the longer you lipslide a ledge, the worse it is

The only bank to ledge 360 flip noseslide I can think of off the top of my head is Reynolds' in This Is Skateboarding. Needless to say, I hope this is the exception and not the rule.
For someone w.no signature ur awfully hostile, & that is why I do this

That and Rick Howard's in Fully Flared. Both of those are great.

Switch/Nollie varial heels have always struck me as kind of bullshitty.  As you said, regular ones are cool, and Matt Beach and Rodrigo made me love fakie ones in the Firm video.  Modern era Reynolds solidified said love.

I doubt anyone can make Nollie Varial Heelflips look good, but I have seen nice Switch Varial Heelflips. Salabanzi comes to mind.

frontside lipslides on ledges are beautiful when executed properly

i don't like how back feebles look on rails, but that might be because i can't learn them and i've been trying to forever.
