I like those cause you'd think it's hard to catch but it actually catches nicely.

so far beyond me.
switch flipping into anything is mazing.

noseblunt

switchflip backsmiths. i got 3, all at the very end of the ledge and landing kind of shifty.
that trick is hard for some reason. I learned them a couple months ago and wasn't happy with how I did them. I did a whole lot of them in between piv and smith, which were shit.

i would imagine it would be hard to make that look comfy unless you're jb,enrique or your main man.
Seems like a trick that would take hours to even get one or 2.

regs is easy but switch is awkward as hell. To used to either going piv or back tail. That one Rodrigo did on the bar on that es thing was fucking bad ass.
-
pop shove 5-0s. nollie front noses and almosssst nollie 180 switch 5-0s.
-
backside 360 bigspin
-
sw front shove it to sw rock on the quarterpipe with no coping.
-
bs 180 nosegrinds.... i didnt turn out or anything just rolled off....
-
haven't really learned anything new in a while. but I got a lot better at:
-frontside flips. always been awkward for me.
-nollie frontside and backside flips.
-backside smith grinds.
-front crooks.
-tranny variations.
there's still a lot of basic shit I need to work on.
-
front board pop over to fakie on a rail (when you do it, it's not that hard, but damn, it took me a million tries)
-
i dont know if i consider landing a trick once nessicarly learning the trick for me,,i almost got a ss backsmith ss backside 270 out on a ledge, ill probablly make one and never land it again, i cant even ss backsmith backside 180 consistently
-
Well, I just relearned bs bigspins, 360 flips and nosegrind.
But tricks I've really just done for the first time is the fs bigspin and ss fs bigspin
-
switchflip backsmiths. i got 3, all at the very end of the ledge and landing kind of shifty.
guile, that trick is a pain in the ass,, i bet it dipped down on the ledge rather far,, for some reason everytime i see someone do that trick its usually locked and dipped down, more then most normal backsmiths...
-
nollie 3 flip flat... got really close to bs feeble fs shove yesterday, bu I couldn't get it :(
-
pop shove 5-0s.
Same.
-
noseblunt flip out, havent landed one yet.. but its coming together.
-
front 5-0 front 180 out
*trying* back 180 fakie nosegrind.
-
Backside ollie to nose-drive back 180 revert on mini. Sometimes it comes out like a back 270 to slide-around. I can't quite get 'em on concrete tranny yet, but I'm training like Sheckler to get the job done.
-
I don't even remember.
-
fs shuf late flip ugly but a really good game of skate trick. Als bs 180 nosegrind and on small curbs bs 180 fakie 5-0
-
just started learning frontside nose slides on proper ledges. can land them but they look like shit and need work
also been messing around with ollie to stall tricks on tranny a lot. ollie front five 0 or back five 0. thinking about taking the back five 0 to fakie. also just relearning tail slides on tranny by ollying into them instead of just scouping them.
recently learned nollie shuv rock fakies. thinking about trying to ad a front rock too it. also working on nollie shuv\big to back five 0\back D, but they need a lot of work at this point.
frontside kickflips over hips. never learned them for some reason and just working on making my kickflips suck less.
-
bigspin backtails in the ramp.
-
just started learning frontside nose slides on proper ledges. can land them but they look like shit and need work
such a hard trick to lock into properly and slide.
I can count how many I've done on one hand.
always manage the booger slide.
-
5050 bigspin out
nollie 360s both ways
i think that i might have found the key to f/s air/indy grabs on tranny, have landedit yet though

i'm guessing that i'm booger sliding. i don't really lock in all the way and when i land them it feels kind of like accident. and when i miss a lot of times i can't get my board out from under my feet and it pops up at me making me think i'm going to take a board to the face.
but even by accident with a sketchy landing they still feel good rolling away, so it's fun trick for me right now
i think that i might have found the key to f/s air/indy grabs on tranny, have landedit yet though
what's the key?
-
yeah for sure. ever since i learned them to fakie thats all I can do. cant seem to come out regular anymore.
-
bs tail 270 on a ledge
fs pivot ollie fakie, and grind (on mini)
proper nollie fs flips
-
My buddy did a fakie dolphin flip yesterday, looked wacky.
-
damn you guys are doing some gnarly shit
I just learned kickflip back 5-0
-
yeah for sure. ever since i learned them to fakie thats all I can do. cant seem to come out regular anymore.
front nose slides ? same I wish I had never learned them to fakie cuz I can't get them back to regular for the life of me now and taking them to fakie looks like garbage compared to regs

bigheels
long and exaggerated ollie powerslides
-
i wonder how many people on here are telling the truth... switch flip bs smith 270? switch heel noseblunts? if it is true then thats just fucking insane and i would like to see some footy
-
People are better at skating than you'd think.
But landing a trick once doesn't mean consistency.
I see kids daily who have a few crazy tricks, but seem to ignore the basics.
-
back 180 nosegrind revert, switch pop shoves down things, and i did my first switch tre yeterday, im stoked
-
nollie fs noseslide
-
I don't even remember.
This thread is bumming me out... i feel washed up and was never that good in the first place
-
thinking about taking the back five 0 to fakie.
some brown cords and half cabs would help alot....
I landed a switch bigflip first try messing around in skate the other night........it felt nice on account of I'd spent a lot of time off and on trying them over the past year or so........
and a sketchy nollie fullcab flip the next day......
too bad mostly all I skate is flatground, I wish I could do some of the ledge tricks mentioned but ive only got the very basics....
-
I'm about to start a last trick you lost thread.
I can't really remember that last trick I learned. Pretty pumped.

thinking about taking the back five 0 to fakie.
funny you should mention that. my last pair of brown cords have most of the cords worn off and lately my five 0 fakie which I've had on lock for almost 20 years has been giving me trouble. i hadn't made the connection but it all makes sense now...
recently learned switch nose slide, switch pop shuv and switch back board. got a long way to go with the switch but it feels tight learning the basics all over again.
-
Actually learned; f/s heels

I'm the same way, lately I've been getting up early before going to the shop and run through my tricks i have.
I have this fear of losing everything I have so I'm constantly playing this perpetual game of skate with myself.
I am always jealous of the people that have 40 ledge tricks.

i just wanted to strt a new topic today about what consistecy means to you - i tried to do all my flatground tricks today but sooner or later you come to a certain trick that you just can't do that day... and i began wondering if i did the same thing every session, would i get all the basics on lock (what are basics anyway) or would i just loose a too much fucking time to do new stuff...
-
I very rarely skate flat ground anymore.
-
switch krooks on tranny
switch hardflips
-
Good frontside shoves. Feel so nice.
-
nollie shuv back d.
-
^^ true that
learned blunt to fakies yesterday, suddenly, on transition that is
also switch tre's on flat.
and a lot of shit on the spine
-
switch krooks on tranny
learned those recently. pretty easy if you don't ollie into them and come in regular instead of fakie.
how you doing them?
-
The last thing I learned that I got hyped on was frontside rocks. Now that's all I want to do. best trick EVER.
-

If you learn to roll these back in fakie, reverting in isnt that far out of reach.
-

same way. no ollie and come in forward. i tried learning them to fakie to but im bad at fakie pivots and its kind of the same thing

it's even a little harder because your board is in a crook postion instead of a five 0, but definitely a fun ass trick. have you ever tried throwing a bs revert into it? it feels so natural but i can't roll away from them because my pussy hurts too bad when I try them.
The last thing I learned that I got hyped on was frontside rocks. Now that's all I want to do. best trick EVER.
finally learned those a few months ago and still have trouble keeping my speed but yeah, one of the best tricks. thinking about trying to slide them like a front board on tranny but that shits so weird.

hah i just got back from doing that in some parking lot......now I have to shower and go to work.....flatground is really fun
I tried playing myself skate for a bit like somebody mentioned above but ended up just getting kind of bored....
yeah ledge tricks are pretty rough, I used to have a couple of boardslide variations on ledges until I got big soft sticky wheels that just grab on and mess you up.....
also, I learned nollie big heels today on account of my buddy beat me with one in skate the other day
kraftwerk, watch yer back, im gunnin 4 U :P

These days consistency seems to be the thing for me. The way I usually skate is I pick a line, say 4 or 5 tricks that I know I can do, a couple of ledge tricks and a couple of flat things and work on that. When I make it, I pick another line. I know that it keeps me from trying new stuff but I get the most kicks from things I know I can land and with decent speed. Pretty much every session I have a few new things on my mind that I'll try, but if they don't catch on right away I'll go to tricks that I can do. I just don't have the drive and the patience.
Back to the original topic, my last new trick? Can't even remember. But it had to be a slight variation from one of my old tricks.

Yeah, I need to work on keeping my speed a little better, I figure the quicker and tighter I can turn it the better I'll keep the momentum, and that will just come with practice. Like I said earlier, I LOVE practicing them.
I too have been messing with the frontboard. I can kinda do them, but the board slides like 3 inches, so it needs work.
-
what's sick is turning backside insted of frontside going in from front r-n-r slides...
i've only ever seen a couple dudes do it, but DAMN!
-
just learned bs flips, by no means are they on lock.
-
i didnt really LEARN this, i just did it one time. but i just did a bigspin fs board bigspin on my tiny flatbar. if you think its bullshit, heres the footy.

messing around today i tried a nollie inward heelflip and was surprised how close i got.....within 20 minutes i had landed a nollie regular switch and fakie inward heel having never landed any of them before today

yeah not even trying to toot my own horn but lately i can make it through all my basics without missing anything.
(fs shuv,pop shuv,kickflip,heelflip,treflip,varial flip,fakie fs and pop shuv,switch fs and pop shuv,fakie flip,,fakie tre,fakie heel,halfcab flip,bs flip)
its not often but the last 2 or 3 times ive landed like 10 tricks in a row and im wondering what the hell is going on.
when i get to the nollie or switch tricks then i get caught up in a certain one. I do have my holes though. I have no nollie or switch heel tricks and i can mob the fuck out of a fs flip but they sure arent pretty or consistent. i wish i had some cooler switch tricks like hardflips or inward heels, but i just cant focus on that stuff too long.
-
barley skating these days with my apparent sciatica issues but a few days ago me and the lady went to the local park for a late night quarterpipe / fishing sesh and i learned sweepers to tail ( fs 180 nosegrab with back foot still on the board to tail, i think thats a sweeper) and caught a pretty big carp.
the trick felt real nice but going right back into the ramp felt scary, the fish was ugly and a carp so i threw him back
-
I've never seen a carp?
-
sweeper is front foot on...nose grab....back foot off...i do them on banks alot cause i'm too chickenshit to do them on tranny....i've done a few...it's a pretty scary trick....i found what really helps is just talking yourself into them....

I've always had Nollie Pop shove-its and nollie 360 shove-its on lock, but I've never really tried nollie big spins my whole entire time skating. The trick never really appealed to me. Then today I just started trying them on a hunch and got them pretty good within 5 or 6 tries.
-
this topic makes me happy.

frontside rock n rolls man!
hard and scary to learn

i can't grind a front feeble on tranny but i learned frontsmith grind to feeble fakie transfers a while back. i got them on lock but it's one of those tricks that makes me nervous everytime i do it for some reason. front disater slide transfers should be pretty easy too, if you got the smith already.

yeah, hangup factor is high on those-i still get freaked out and jump off of them all the time.

Front smithes. Its taken me years but finally.
Im still workin on those back 3s, but hopefully i post in here again soon.
-
on tranny i got front nose stall reverts pretty much on lock now and landed a switch front crook grind going back in regular but haven't really figured out how to grind them right yet.
getting closer to proper front nose on ledges
-
I'm trying to relearn/ get better at my old tricks, but I kind of learned some new ones aswell:
I got a few Switch B/s 180 Nosewheelie (landing in a regular wheelie) F/s revert on a manual pad.
Somewhat close to nailing F/s 360 Ollies on flat.
-
I finally landed front foot impossible yesterday. Twice. Pretty crazy 'cause it was dark and I was little drunk, I think.
-
never rolled away from one.
ive hucked em out there a million times but i have no idea how to keep it under me.
i still remember in celebraty tropical fish when pat brennan did one over a curb and spent the next few months re watching it for some idea of what the hell just happened.
-
frontside bonelesses on transition
no comply to tails
no comply 180 to 50-50
tre flips back
iceplant to fakies
boneless to tails really good, i think thats what they are
nosepick 270 on transition
you know what pisses me off? when little kids can do like every trick imaginable down sets, like the kid who posted in this thread earlier had a flatbar trick, and i looked through his videos and he could like nollie backside flip and switch bigspin and shit down stairs. it sucks considering the majority of what i skate is flat and i still am stumped by the majority of the tricks they be doing. i suck :[
-
Naw don't think like that.
One thing I finally realized was I can't compare myself to someone else.
Some people learn faster and have more confidence.
Plus being younger, no job, perfect skatepark to practice at all day.
I stick to what's fun and forget other people exist.
I am sure you have your tricks and personally i'd rather have 5 tricks down with goodstyle than sloppily doing 20.
-
no it doesn't really piss me off, it's more insane just watching kids like learn a trick on flat and literally in the next few days do it down something. and in this time in skateboarding, i think the majority of kids know what a bad style and a good style is, so they end up making it look decent.
i stick to whats fun. no complies and mellow tranny all day

sw fs tail
nollie shuv noseslide
-
I learned fs flips and back bigspins the day I killed my anke.
-
Switch Blunt, fs shuffle on transition.
-
360 flips and fakie 360 flips.
-
relearned fs feebles on a circle flat bar that is soober small. and then i did a blunt to fakie for the first ime in a while. tried it again and rolled me kankle.
-
the thing is with kids too these days is,they have a nose to skate and not learning blunts on curbs and wallrides,now switch flips are easy to them same with everything else,but atleast we got to grow up in a way cooler era,skating now is kinda crazy,diamonds and all that
-
i learned frontside airs, lien to tails, and slobs recently
backside and frontside salad grinds on transition
i landed a few bigspinflips on flat last night, but i don't think i actually learned them, or at least not yet

nollie backside heelflips, fakie backside nosegrinds on flat boxes, backsmith front 180s. all earlier today.

front feeble grind 270 on tranny... like i grind that lil front feeb and then alley oop it around and normally tail drag
front feeble grinds on tranny in general

10 tricks in two days? your dick must be a schlong.
i think i learned switch wallies. too bad the goal was to switch ollie the object.

no it doesn't really piss me off, it's more insane just watching kids like learn a trick on flat and literally in the next few days do it down something. and in this time in skateboarding, i think the majority of kids know what a bad style and a good style is, so they end up making it look decent.
i stick to whats fun. no complies and mellow tranny all day
hahah, man
That's how I am with flip tricks, it sucks. I don't know why, I just don't spend a lotta time doing them, but when I learn something well I usually end up at a stair set and get pressured into trying to film it, then I fall back into the mini ramp mindstate and loose the trick...
fs disaster slide and rolling into stuff with pool coping, prob a few months ago at Battleground park
Every time I skate Dave's ramp I learn new stuff
back disaster for the first time! so stoked!
hardflip nose stall revert

It really is the funnest thing to skate ever.
it's been so long since I've learned a new flip trick, relearned switch hard flips a few days ago
uhhmm... fakie hurricaine to regular on flat bars, (the carroll trick)
And that's it for probably the last 6 months.

nollie backside one eiighty heelflips
:-X
-
Noseblunt - I always assumed that it was hard, so I just never tried it. It came to me first try. Seriously feels like doing a lipslide on a ledge.
Fakie Inward Heelflip - Really easy to learn once you've got inwards. I've kind of had it, but I just got it good and consistent.
Varial heelflip - This is a bitch to learn.
Saturday night I landed a backside 180 fakie nosemanual, pivot around on a little manual pad.
-
i learned switch fs 5-0 180 out the last time I skated street, which was probably May or June...

fakie big heel

this friend of mine claims they are as easy as a crook grind for him. i just assumed that he's got them like that and still haven't had the balls to try one.

nose manuals with my back foot under the tail. trying to ollie into them is not happening any time soon though.

that would be insane..................youd have to get good at the ollie into one foot nose manny and then work it from there.

Yea, everytime i try i dont come close. ha. fun to do on flat though.

Sounds like it could be a great way to either get a back-leg-shinner or just get completely tangled up. It'd be sick as fuck to see that though... combining street with Kevin Harris steez.

it really depends on if you're going from the front of the ledge or the side...
if you're going from the front, then it's like a noseslide, you just need a smooth ledge and spare wheels, because you're going to get flatspost for sure...

Well this is my first ever post on any messageboard ever, so it's basically a testing123 kind of post, but, if anyone cares, the last trick I learned was plain old fs tailsides. I just kept putting them off.

i have by far the worst kickflips down stuff. whenevr i head to the park i skate an empty area for a while just skating flat trying to get better at flip tricks. though i have been getting more consistant, i still hate the way every flip trick feels. whenever i try and take a trick to a gap i end up kicking out half the time or landing slightly sideways and i try and use my hands to catch myself but all that does is mess up my wrists. to make a long story short, i hate flip tricks
-
50-50 across a stairset between two banks.
-
to damian- i sk8board a lot, and all i skate is the same quarterpipes at the park, the box at the park, and sometimes flat, which i never ever learn knew flat tricks
i did a new trick yesterday though
[youtube=425,350]k_iCmjNRWWg[/youtube]
if you can even see it there's a tiny 5 inch bank right where i land, and i slipped out about a dozen times and each time i thought i snapped my arm off. yeah i fucked up the ollie to smith in the beginning, im fat and cool 8)
edit: i lied about learning nosepick 270s, i tried once and hit mah chin 8) 8) 8)
-
im fat and cool 8)
haha yes!
try the feeb to fakie.
-
small quarter pipes own
yesterday I learned nollie crook grind come in regular and backside nollies on them. the nollie crook was suprisingly easy, if you got crooks on tranny, you should try them.
-
slappys and slappy feebles.
-
yesterday i landed a few smith grinds on a knee high ledge.
-
I just relearned front crook 180 out and half-cab crooks, I hope they don't disappear on me again.
-
I learned nosestall fs revert and feeble fakie on a tiny QP yesterday... transition really scares me
-
Late back foot 360 flip to start a line.. I tried it for a joke as I used to do them years ago, but ended up catching it nice, making a few tricks afterwards, and being all stoked on them again!!
(Though I was skating on my own, I might get puked on if I try and do one in public)!
-
on friday on a small quarter i learned nollie back tail stall, then i learned nollie back tailslide
on a small ledge got fakie ollie tail slide
-
over the weekend i got a couple new tricks i could never get before
backside feeble frontside 270 out, i always thought id slip out
fakie 270 to backside feeble, just couldnt do them
the two above tricks together
i got front shoves back
no comply to tails on tranny really good
and i learned that cool mj trick from uno where he noseslides and pushes on the ground 8)
-
On a quarter: backside feeble to G-turn on the deck to rock to fakie.
-
frontside flips...
-
yesterday i learned nollie bigsspin heels out of nowhere
today i learned backside 360's on flat. i tried them forever then it just clicked, i was just scooping them and not popping(even though i thought i was), so i popped one instead of trying to scoop it and it worked out
i re-learned a lot of bigspin stuff too today
-
feebles on ledges.
-
nollie fs 5-0
transfer feeble grind to fakie from a hip to qp
-
got a kick flip and pop shuv off the side of a bank to flat
-
nollie axle stall, where you pop a nollie into the coping.
-
should try nollie shuv into it, pretty easy compared to say kickflip five 0
-
should try nollie shuv into it, pretty easy compared to say kickflip five 0
sfa yeah. somehow i learned those first a long while back. i thought it'd be taking a step back just doing a nollie into the stall, but it's actually harder, for me atleast. seems like if you learn your transition type tricks on natural transition, it makes them a whole lot easier at punkass perfect skateparks.
-
yeah, they are harder if you actually pop the nose instead of just poping off the coping
have you tried going to backtail? tried that for the first time the other day and it was an instant on lock trick for me. kind of hard to pop it right but easy to land
-
hey, guy, i'm not trying to eat pure shit.
-
I learned fakie f/s smiths on transition yesterday.
-
I did my first bs 50-50's on 5 foot tranny today.
My first boardslide across a two-way flatbar.
And I also learned fs 180 no-complies!
Fall skating is the best.

-
I'm learning switch frontside 360s right now.
-
flatground shove to nosemanual, ron knigge shit, you know
and i cant ollie for shit anymore, i used to be able to ollie pretty high and now i cant at all, so i guess i learned the loss of the ollie
my friend learned ollie to fakie on mini and i thought that was neat 8)
-
Back smith front 180 out, and back tail front 270 both tricks are hella uncomfy to land but surprisingly aint that hard.
-
i wonder how many people are actually telling the truth about their tricks. i wont call anyone out though.
im working on fs 180 to fakie nosemanual, it is a bitch to get out of.

yeah i think you need to 180 into a barley grind. actually i always thought a barley grind was a switch fs 180 to fs smith. if its a "fakie over-willy" i think youd call it a fakie hurricane, as my friend told me. shiloh greathouse does one 2nd to last trick in "first love." i dont know it seems like theres endless combinations for willy/180 smith/feeble grinds that all look pretty similar.

They call those variations bigger flips around these parts. I've done them fakie and that's what they call em', I had the same delema.
Unfortunately nollie tre on it's own is on the long list of never-been-done's for me. :'(

I learned how to burp my son properly today and let me tell you, that shit was harder than you'd think. Apparently, most people think babies are fragile (and they are) but, when it comes to burping, you really have to give them a forceful wack on the back. It made me feel bad until he burped. Only then, did I feel like I did the right thing.

I consider "bigger spin" a board 540/body 180, and when there's a board 540 and a body 360 I just call em' bigspin 360's or 360 bigspins. Either way you're gonna have to explain how much spinning was involved to whoever you're talking to untill this is all settled. I don't think any of these tricks should be common enough to argue over, but people are gettin' whacky.

If I land a trick once, I will count it as being landed but will explain that I only landed it once. I subscribe to the rule of three as well.

i also subscribe to this mentality but considering ill never land one again i was hoping for a pass this time?
us elderly folk need to bend the rules now and then, you know, to feel some worth.

Like in fakie fs ollie to fs noseslide.... and today I front feebled a slighty downwards flatrail, I havn't done it in like 3 months and I've only done it in skateparks where you jump from a bank to flat rail before... sorry if that didn't make any sense, it's like 5:21 here and I'm pretty tired
-
i think it was kickflip frontside 5-0
-
I learned cab bs lips the other day. On ledges, not on rails yet. I have to find a decent flat rail to learn it on.
-
just do them on ledges, they are cooler than on rails
more like sheffeyjr LOL

Everybody talks about these crazy tricks, all switch/nollie
I re-learned pop-shoves

Im starting to get frontside crooks on my roundbar. They're so fucking weird on that thing, I feel like any moment I'm gonna fall out of them but somehow I manage to stay locked in and moving.
-
Popping big Nollie Cab Flips goin fast, feels fucking sick.

i did a fakie 5-0 pop out for the first time that i can recall the other day. i've done fakie 5-0 fakie flip out in the middle of a ledge before but never just popped out of the middle without the flip.

Just started landing switch trey flips last night, feels sick. It's funny cause it was never a trick I really even cared to learn but figured fuck it, gave it a shot and started feeling it pretty quickly.

well certainly it isn't a wallie
more of a wallie than a drop in. all four wheels on, ride down and out at an angle.

how is it in any way a wallie? isnt a wallie like... a wallride and a (kind of) ollie?
id just say noseslide to fakie down the side, i dont think theres a technical name

Isn't the "new" in the title of this thread unnecessary?

Backsmith frontside revert on mini, and long smith grinds, It always annoys me when people do 8 inch grinds or slides on boxes or ledges that are 8 feet long, if it's not a board length in distance, its a re-do.
-
haha, it was 12 years in the making, but nollie bs bigspin
It's been one of those dreaded SKATE tricks that absolutely everyone could do for so long, I gotta practice them now that I've done a few.

I've always had a weird unjustified grudge against any suski variation that's not just ollied into and grinded really long, I don't know why. That's sick though, props.

nollie fs tail over a quater hip

sw backside flips, sw front heel

front shove it back 5050 and back blunt alley oop 360 out. both on banks

I tried noseblunts for the first time on monday and landed two hella sketchy ones. They always seemed so impossible until i actually tried them.

i learned back feeble grinds on benches today. never thought i would do one on anything other than a ramp.
-
frontside 5-0s on transition

monday i did a few new tricks, ive been landing on and rolling away from fs flips for a while but i finally have them dialed.
i landed a fakie fs smith fs shuv out on a ledge.
relearning half cab heels slowly.
-
fakie bigspin heels yesterday and fakie biggerspin flips today. i tried cab bigspn flips(gazelle flips or whatever they're called) for a while but no matter how many times i landed on it, i couldn't ride away. i only got to spend a little bit trying it before it rained out but it still felt good to do something new
-
after way too many tries..nollie front bigspin disaster
-
Fakie bigflips.
Trying full cab flips but they seem like more effort than they're worth. Just doing cabs without flipping are fun enough for me.
-
nollie backside 5-0's on something higher than a curb but not big enough to be called a ledge
-
switch benihanas
-
cab back tails to reg. going to fakie was so much easier until i learned to pop back out, now fakie is impossible.
-
so close to regular bs 360s. so far, i've only landed one without my usual massive pivot. It's a hard trick to try, because I get dizzy after several attempts in one minute.
-
Front nosegirnd front 180s
-
back smiths, but with my nose only pointed down slightly.... maybe if i drink mike carrolls semen ill be able to do them with steez....

skating a double sided ledge, about knee high or maybe a little higher and 2' wide. i roll up to the ledge frontside, pop like im gonna do a fs board, but pop it over the top and land on the other side in a bs lip. slide it for 4 or 5 feet and then pop out before the end of the ledge, landing regular. i was also doing them to fs lip and fs noseblunt

yeah, but I see what you're talking about all the time. Lots of miniramp dudes that skate the park near me do like nosebonk to ali-oop fakie smiths, 5-0's and hurricaines, but they always just turn the easy way back to regular on the hurricaines, and everyone but me can do these variations, and like ali-oop nollie bigspins to fakie 5-0's n' shit, it's pretty gnarly

nollie back 180s off ledges/ over gaps.
fakie bigspin double flip off ledges/ over gaps. not as hard as it sounds. when i do my fakie bigspin flips on flatground, i do a fakie varial and pivot the rest; i don't catch them. so i was trying one over a gap and it kept over flipping. so i was like "fuck it, that's what i'm trying now" and i landed it. its like a sw fs biggie. sounds dope because it's switch but it's actually easier that way.

nollie tres solid
and almost front shuv crooks

The other day my friends were trying to land switch bs flips and I was skating an oldschool shaped board and did a few.
Not sure that counts towards learning.
-
yesterday i was getting warmed up and tried to do a switch tre to see if there was any chance that i could finally land one. landed on it, landed one right after that, and then kept doing them all day long to make sure i wouldn't lose them. i've landed one before maybe three years ago, but couldn't even come close after that. i've seriously tried that trick everyday for as long as i can remember so i am psyched that i finally learned them
-
last trick i learned would have to be feebles
thats one of the only grinds i have had issues learning
-
On a three foot quarter i learned feeble kickflip in. I know its on a little guy, but i'll work on it.
-
learned cab flips ! so stoked
also re-learned backside heels and fakie bigflips
-

me too! do you ride up with your foot on the nose and push it up into it like Seth McAllum on tall things, but on curbs? that's how I get down.
-
yes! i was just getting into nosepicks on curbs like that, going straight on, and just started going fast at them at like a 45 degree angle, and got them pretty quick. i just got back on board recently from a broke angle so its nice to already have something new from it, regardless of bail probability
and a bunch of stupid side rock variations i learned last night that dont matter
-
backtail revert, frontside 5-0 revert (as in 270 out, not a 5-0 to fakie) all on tranny. I think the last 20 tricks I;ve learned have been on tranny. I think I'm getting old...
-
a fewledge tricks
backtail 270, nollie fs 5-0 bs revert (popped out in the middle)
-
bs d., fs d. (with a little slideage), boneless d., heelflip rock fs revert, bs ollie a channel, a few 360 flips (FINALLY!). All the tranny shit has been on low 3-4 footers.
oh shit, noseblunts too on little ledges too.

hell yeah, stoked to hear you're back on board

After well over a decade of skateboarding, I think have finally learned heelflips. I can do backside heels and half cab heels, but the regular ones have always eluded me. Until now.

back 360's
-
nollie flip out of nose manuals
-
lining up a row of donuts and putting a hot dog through them, then eating it

-

love that, esp alley-oop
switch push, sort of.
awesome!
-
Managed to do both nollie fs pop shuv and fakie fs pop shuv in a game of skate today (done nollie fs a couple of times in the past, never the fakie) and finally learnt tre flips after ten years of skateboarding. Fuckin belter.
-
Wait a minute, what? You've been skating 10 years and never once tried to land nollie and fakie shuvits both ways? Do you only skate mini ramps and bowls?
-
skated flat yesterday for 5 hours and managed to land
nollie flip/heel, varial flip/heel. i got them all pretty consistent now.
-

I've done nollie ones before (see "done nollie fs a couple of times in the past" ^^^) but regular FS shuvs have been a pain in my ass forever as have fakie ones. today was just the right day I guess. Regular FS shuvits will always evade me though. I suck at frontside stuff, backside's always come more naturally to me.
-
i landed my first heelflip in over two years, hopefully that counts. It took about 200 tries in unbelievable humidity, and I got a mild groin strain. I hope I can start getting them consistent. I've completely lost bs 360 shoves and switch fs 360 ollies, so I need to get on that.

Frontside bigspins.
Boardslide 270 out.
-
that a caesar (you know..clamato juice, worchester sauce, and vodka) and a trip to subway will cure any hangover. i will disclose trick tips for it if needed.

Switch FS 360 Ollies on flat, without pivoting. Now I want to try them down stuff.
-
I've tried every hangover cure under the sun and the only thing that works is a big bong rip.
-
Front nosegrind nollie shuv-it (the easy way) out, finally I am so happy.

watch mike york do it on flat in hot chocolate after he hurts his knee. i couldn't do them before i saw that clip, then it all made sense

A full pot of green tea works well to.

nollie bs 3 shoves down gaps..
im not cody mcentire so its not worth nollie bs bigging anything =X

^ in that case why ever skate, right?
-
sw hardflips are so close.
think i just need a bit more oomfff out of my back foot like my reg ones, always works.
-
wallie backtail slides. thank you badly made canadian parks.
-
darkslide 50-50's on round bars.
-
bs 360 shoves popped properly. Harder than one would think.
-
proper b/s powerslides, the kind where you actually control your speed, not just make the wheels squeek. Now maybe my wheels will wear down a little more evenly, instead of just coning in one direction.
-
Hardflips, almost have them on lock now, a hefty battle to learn those bad boys.

finally figured out varial heelflips. had them switch for a long ass time but regular ones have always fucked with me.

hurricanes, took so damn long to finally learn them. got them to the point where i can do them about half the time i try. don't usually land one without a nice get into boardslide then faceplant beforehand though.
-
I wish I was my friend, then I could come here and say "forward flip and fakie forward flip, then switch forward flip and nollie forward flip the next day I skated.." he's pretty much the king of flat, he has every single trick on lock... in a game of skate once he did a fs double flip the first time he ever tried.
I did a sw double flip in a game of skate awhile ago, and I learned nollie bigflip yesterday and kinda sw fs 360 shoves with no pop at all, I want to be able to do them proper so bad!

nollie and fakie forward flips look really fucking rad.
-
I dunno if these count as real tricks, but I did pop shove and front shove manny over a crack down a mellow bank. I'll hopefully learn them on curbs over this long weekend.
-
over the past two days i've landed, but not nessecerily completely learned, switch backside bigspins, nollie frontside bigspin heels, and switch variel heels. i tried nollie cab flips for a few minutes today and it seemed like i could actually do them if i gave it a little bit more effort
-
No comply
-
not so much a new trick but i've taken my recently learnt hardflip to some stairs.
stomped one down a 6 before we were told off.
imma get that soon, they're much easier down shit than my mate said, but i cant go too fast like i'd like to cause then it just doesn't have that nice flip about it.
-

front shove crook.. or nosegrind. i dont know what you'd call it.
-
just remembered, i also learned how to do backside sugarcanes, didn't land it but learned how to do it.
-
I saw ali do a fs rock to bs lipslide down the side of like a 6 ft quarter and it inspired me to try it, except I had to find a street obstacle to do it on cause I'm too scared to try it on a quarterpipe
-
flatground 900s, casper flips, backflips, and christ airs.
oh, and hardflips.

Getting close to switch backside heels. Hardflips are always a work in progress for me.

I never really bothered to try cause I figured they'd fuck with my 360 flips. I don't know if that's true but it's all in your head anyway.

solo seshed a pad today for a couple hours and figured out a bunch of shit ive never really tried before
switch manny, sw nose manny, nollie shove manny, half cab nose manny, pop shove nose manny / 180 out, and fakie shove sw manny
it was a damn good time

I've done that once but frontside, for some reason I like straight up ollieing into 5-0 for big spin out, but people seem to think nollie in is alot radder.
-
hardflipped my first set
just a 5
not bad for only having them for a few weeks
cracked my board, though.
still, going to try hardflip a 7 soon.
back biggies are getting consistant but i dont know how to get the truly solid.
same with 360 pop shuvs.
maybe i just gotta do em more often, im likin em.
-
nollie half cab switch crook
not consistent tho
-
bs nosegrind revert pop out
-
fs shuf late flip ugy but fun!
-
sw 180 manual a few days ago and nollie fs360 shove yesterday
-
i learned laser flips from that buttery ass mondays clip someone linked up. they're still really inconsistent, but i'm psyched to be able to do a trick that i thought i would never be able to do. i also learned how to smith grind ledges. i thought that it would be the same as a smith on a flat bar, but it's completely different and probably why i could never grind them
-
fakie ss front crooks. shit's way too fun
-
Not sure if I learned it but did my first ever bs noseblunt. So stoked.
-
back lip shove, bs disaster finally, slowly getting more consistent on back tails, fs bigspin a set...
-
fakie to fs pivot 270 among other things. I've been able to grind them for a while but did it from stall for the first time.
I heavily suggest everyone build a 3ft mini, Dave (riding walls) has one and my "last new tricks I've learned" list has quadrupled since he built it.
-
switch front heels
-
on trannie fs stand up grinds and pop them to fakie (90) ......but one slam later has already put me off them
-
half cab crooks
took awhile but it was worth it, came out better than some crooks i do, ha.
might try back 180 out of that/revert cause it just seems like my body wants to keep going that way. plus those look tight
-

I'm not really sure. I pop/scoop into it, so it doesn't feel like a trick you "pivot" into, but for all I know, you could be right
-
I think then it's "ollie bs nose pivot"
it's "nosegrind" if you grind it, and pick if you grab it
once again, I may be wrong. Can we get one of Slap's senior citizens in here?

same for me too. if i land a normal backtail it's pretty lucky for me. i just shoot so much easier if i don't kickflip into them for some reason.

i learned nollie frontside half cab to switch back 5050 yesterday
There's gotta be an easier way to phrase that. Are you doing a fs nollie to sw bs 50-50?
-
halfcab and nollie shouldn't be used together IMO
-
wow i cant believe i am better than so many people, then again i have been skating for 10 years. i should be way better than i am, i see little kids all the time who tell me i am a piece of shit.
last trick i learned officially would be shove it 5-0 fs shove out
but i did this fucking sick wallride last weekend just from flat, some dick dad in a halo shirt was at the park with his gay kids, he is watchin me try it, hes like "you need to go faster and find a steeper wall!" i was like yo fall the fuck back buddy hows the wall gonna get any steeper its fucking 90 and im already beamin, and then next try i did it , like fred gall even, i never done one that good in my life, not even close. my wheels were as high as i could ollie. and then he shit.
do you stay up alone at night wondering why no one likes you?
-
halfcab and nollie shouldn't be used together IMO
what? why the fuck not ? grant patterson's nollie half cab at bust or bail was the best trick done in that entire session and he basically went unrecognized, so slept on. its a nuts trick, holy fuck danny montoya's nollie half cab 5-0 in the reason was epic as fuck.
It's either a fs nollie of a bs nollie. No need to use the word half cab.
-
If you ride of a ramp backwards and stall on the tail, is that a switch nosestall or fakie tail? Damn guys who gives a shit about all these naming conventions, we know what eachother are talking about anyway
-
fs noseblunt on a flatbar, did a fakie hardflip in a game of skate but i suck at hardflips so I doubt I "learned" it...
-
yeah id go with sw nosestall
and i guess you can say nollie fs 180 and nollie bs 180... to be honest my purpose behind the half cab naming is to distinguish the two beacuse a lot of people use fakie/nollie fs/bs's interchangeably, so when you say half cab everyone knows what you are talking about. then i hear guys like reynolds sayin "fs half cab" and that just confuses the shit out of everything.
Of course the boss is correct.
-
the half cab game is simple.
normal half cabs go with the rules of skating normally, fs and back side.
in nollie you do a nollie fs 180 when you pop and turn with your toes towards the direction you are going and a nollie bs 180 when you go with your heels first.

fs half cab confuses you? Damn even Dwayne know what that is. Look like wuust said the half cab game is simple. It should only be used when you're rolling fakie and turning 180 either frontside or backside. It comes from the term Caballerial which was invented on transition. It's when you go up fakie and do a 360. It should apply to street as well.
Nollie half cab. Now that's and oxymoron.

180 fakie nosegrind on a funbox

i think a lot of tricks need to be renamed. 360 shoves should be called helicopters first of all. like 180 to sw feeble is called hurricane grind, so why cant we have more combos named like that? i think half cab 5-0s should be called wherry grinds cause he does em the illest
a hurricane is not a 180 to switch feeble.

it is a 180 to feeble, which is two letters short of what i said, and also has nothing to do with what im talking about. you dont have to get all technical everyone knew what i was talking about. you never on point, you aint sharp, like rza.
technically, a hurricane is a 180 fakie feebs.

the nollie heel body varial was just a trick my buddy did in skate as a joke and I've just been doing a sketchy one here and there for fun

damn, i wanna see that.
and nollie heel fs body varial
haha, danny gonzales did those. i think he took them serious, he had one nollie and one fakie in his old globe part.
you mean like a fs shove out? thast sick. the easy way is fuckin easy. i am actually getting way better at doing shoves out than just regular pops out because i do em so much
same, i've only popped out a few times, though. by luck i'd say, how do you manage to get a solid pop out of a crook on a ledge which has no ending for instance? i kind of tweak it a heap so it's almost a back noseslide and just hope it rolls out and i'm still on it.

push it a bit forward and then shift your weight back to pop out of crooked grinds.

???????
board does fs fliip, body does fs 360?
or fs 180 sexchange?
or hardflip fs 360 body varial?
I've no clue. I've seen it done personally switch by steve olsen long before even seeing pine do it regular, so I didn't immediately regard it as new or nameless, but the closest thing I could describe it as for other people to understand is a lotti spin but frontside, with a flip, sort of like a big flip to a bigspin, if that makes sense.
I've also done heel flip frontside and baclside body varials and varial flip fs body varials in games of skate as a means of playing dirty against people who can actually do no-comply's, unlike myself.
but I'd imagine most obscure body varial variation flip tricks remain nameless, unless there's already names such as this supposed "grape flip"?

yeah there was a buttery ass monday on theberrics where donovan was doing those. he calls em grape flips

Over the past two weekends, I've learned a shitload of new mini ramp tricks that are on the dork side, but that's how I roll...
Backside/blindside chinkchink to fakies (fakie ollie bs nosepick to fakie),
Something that can best be described as a one-foot rock to fakie (front foot on, back foot dog pisser),
Backside (no handed) nosepick stall for a sec, then backside revert pop in (used to do them in one motion),
...also, since I still believe that early grabs are sick, I started experimenting with them and doing weird shit with them:
Early grab (melon) air up the tranny to blunt to fakie (air, drop, clunk, yank, grabbing the whole time),
Fastplant to fakie (bs grab),
Early nose grab to airwalk to fakie,
Nose grab Christ to fakie,
Early grab to some sort of Madonna to fakie.
I also learned what may be the most regular trick ever... ollie up the tranny into a rock, then pick up the front like you're going to come in fakie, then set it down really quickly (kind've a really fast shuffle/teeter totter thing), then come back in fakie. We refer to it as an ollie to double-rock to fakie, it's just weird as all fuck.
It's all on a perfect 4 foot mini, the kind you can just make up tricks for days on.

and on the same ledge (only descent one in town...), i dont know if it looks any good, it feels pretty gross most of the time, front nose 270 out. if only it were an upledge i could get out of them better, like ted degros. instead i just pivot like a person.

even if you pivot, i think its still legit as long as you slide a decent length. if you just slap the ledge and 270 dance away from it that is not good. i hate that.

Switch stuff.
Has baffled me for years, but I'm finally getting some pop out of my switch ollies. Can now switch ollie small benches and shit, do some switch ledge tricks (switch tailslides, switch 5050s), etc.
I guess I'm finally seeing that there's no real magic trick to switch skating - it's just like learning to write with your wrong hand: all it takes is doing it over and over and eventually it'll start to seem natural. Sure took awhile for me, tho.
-
ive been watching the old anti-hero videos a lot recently.
i learned back tailslides on a scary ass tranny. and i getting bonelessess, i just copy peter hewitt

Im finally landing some flat ground back 3s. Took me forfuckingever. Turns out i was trying to spin too fast.

got some nice frontside heels for the first time the other day. skating with younger kids is cool, it really gets me more involved in the flatground game.

My last new trick wasn't really something I learned so much, as it was something I just never fucked with but wound up getting on my second try... on transition and bank-to-curb... back feeble to frontside 180 back in. Not a hard trick, but one I overlooked. Stoked on it though.
-
5-0 to tailslide 270 out. and i'm still trying to relearn 3 flips.
can someone tell me how to get my back foot on or how to keep my tail down?

I don't know if I'd say I learned it, but I did 3 fs lotti spins in one day. Like a "grape flip" but without a flip. It's pretty dorky, but it felt kinda cool

bout a week ago i learned how to do that no-comply straight up, no 180 hotness, bouncin off your knee and all that jazz over a gap. not gonna lie, started feelin myself for that one

Learned fakie big flip, full cab, fakie hardflip and half cab double flip all earlier today. still gotta work on getting all of them clean and consistent though.

Yeah yeah... I think Drehobl does one on a concrete transition to wall (with a lip) for an ad in the last Thrasher. Fun shit, and like you brought up, if you got FS rocks (and back feeble stalls) you can do them, just got to get wound up when you lock it on the coping.
I love the way some tricks hide in plain site until you realize you can do them if you just... do them.

I find that especially true with miniramp trickery

Hell yeah! Mini and transition in general is really organic like that... it's like you can learn one trick, and if you dial it you can walk out with three or four variations of it. Love that shit.

I just recently landed my first ever feeble grinds on flat bars. Fs smith grinds; peace of cake, feebles; next to impossible. I've landed like 5 of them and I still have no clue how to really go about doing that trick. Seems really fucking hard to get the weight over your back foot ollieing in from backside.
Bear in mind that I have skateboarded for over 21 years.

Recently learned how to watch movies at work. This is good because I have watched everything on YouTube twice already.
-
I gotta say relearning shit it more frustrating because you KNOW you had it before. I turn 30 next year and I have more or less spent 2 years off my board with my deployment to Iraq and then coming home and dealing with personal bullshit. Then add on the crazy Louisiana heat. When you relearn shit, that click isn't the same. Like, you're not as stoked. I got a few kickflips in the street the other day and instead of thinking "Fuck yeah!" it was more like, "it's about time....." and I am nowhere near as consistent as I'd like to be, but it does feel good to be riding again. Two nights ago I went on a beer run on my skateboard and on my way to the store it felt so good to be flying down the road just doing little ollies over cracks.
that is actually the best feeling, everytime I ride my skate for transportation I am reminded of how much I love that shit.

Manual front 180 out on pads, and then manual front pop shuvit out shortly after, both learned in the same session. I've never been that big into manny pads, but I recently started getting more into them and I have to say they're really fun. Very frustrating to learn tricks in and out, but when you get the trick its such a rewarding feeling.

ive been trying to learn how to do a proper tre flip, i could do them alot better when i was 14-15 then i can now. my switch ones are better than my regular ones even though my swirch ones arent that great either. i just can't figure out the trick to doing them, i can do them allright on flat and i can do them to noseslide but when it come to doing them down a gap or off a bump they just spin out of control.

how can you be bad at a kickflip. you do a one footed ollie and its done. yall think too fuckin much.

Man! I learned that a few weeks ago, but I'm sort of bummed on it. I want to lock into the bs nosepick like more of a backside over-crook before coming in, but I always end up in one of those crooks you see people lazily slappy into on tranny. I can do them super consistantly, but there's just no improving on it...

Man...I can honestly say I learned the most tricks in a short period of time right after coming back from my two most serious injuries. Ruptured spleen in summer 06, and both bones in my right leg broken clean through in summer 08. Being deprived of skating made me try so fucking hard when I got back on my board and I learned so much shit soooooo fast.
-
I'm hurt right now with a bum ankle so i've been messing around with tranny. I learnt back tails today on this low regular shape tranny. I'm stoked cause I can barely get into the stall yet I'm sliding them, and they feel better than the front tails I have on it.

try it on a bump to ledge first, like a ledge on top of a pyramid, and just commit to really putting it down, and it should happen within not too long
i know this is an awful trick tip, but that's the best way to go about wallies
unlike slappy's, which I will never figure out

Nollie heel and switch heel today.
Couple days ago, lipslides on ledges.

I don't know what it's called, but it's just like a backside Miller flip (unless that's what it is?).
Ride up the ramp, grab backside, trailing hand plants right under the coping, you do a back flip/one handed cartwheel thing, and when you land you slide an extra 180 in one motion so you're rolling forward again. Got three in a row so I own it now.

that's gnarly...I'll ask one of my vert buddies what's that called....when you slide the 180 is it f/s or b/s? My quest for inverts failed miserably.... hey have you ever seen someone do a tailgrab invert? It'd be really weird...

It's backside... the back flip part has a slight backside tendency to it as well.
I have seen a tailgrab invert, and I don't get it. I still don't get how some cats can do regular fs or bs inverts as warmup or setup tricks, either. I'm still trying to figure out how to come in on regular ones once my hand is on the coping... I have no clue how to bring that shit in. It's fucking weird being upside down looking down the transition with your board above you, too. Fucking headgames.
-
I don't have a amazing switch wheelie balance, but I did a fakie fs shovit sw wheelie for a few meters. But to get that fakie shovit on the block is hard. I tried them to nosegrinds but that needs a little more practice.

Any tips? Ever since I saw Mike Barker do one in that hype promo part proper as fuck I wanted them. I have no trouble with normal ones, and 180 out but hitting it frontside just seems crazy.
try it on a bump to ledge first, like a ledge on top of a pyramid, and just commit to really putting it down, and it should happen within not too long
i know this is an awful trick tip, but that's the best way to go about wallies
unlike slappy's, which I will never figure out
I think I do it more like a wnollie, like these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og2Mb0Tey9I&feature=fvsr , only frontside. Basically the same move, I ride towards the wall at an angle with my foot on the nose, roll up in a fs wallride and level out by doing a nollie and leaning away from the wall. Shit feels really awkward at first. Sorry about the shitty tricktip, just one of those tricks..

Ah yeah, I get what you're saying. Thanks. Whenever I try them they just fly right out and it's like I have no control or I'm not over the board at all. I guess it's just like learning to wallie all over again. Just gotta stick it...
After getting my switch front bigs half descent I went for the switch big heel. I can flip them almost all the time, staying over them is another thing. It's a trick I've never even attempted let alone thought of having. Gonna work on it.

Relearned fakie bigflips. Well actually I should say fakie varial flip reverts with the way I do em.
50-50 ollie north out on ledges. Tried it as a joke at first but got really close to landing it first try. "Oh shit, that's not hard at all" I thought to myself, and ended up getting it like 3rd try.

bluntslides, front blunts and front blunt 270/half cab whatever in on the little bank/quarter/ditch/regular fun piece of metal. Going to try noseblunts on it tomorrow, going to be hard to slide that fucker considering I've never even got into the stall.

^ noseblunt slides on tranny are the funnest thing ever, good luck
I just hate doing them on quarterpipes because I always slide to a complete stop before popping back in, unless it doesn't have coping for some reason

No comply disasters might be my favorite trick, they are easy to pop high as fuck.
While fucking around I figured out that 5050 pressure flip out is an easy and fun trick.

Just don't get frustrated. I find myself lying on the ground more often with this trick than with switch nose manny. If you have switch nose manny, this should be a breeze as long as you commit yourself to it.

I can slide those on boxes well but have yet to land one. Speed is the key factor

I recently learned how to do switch bluntslides on french fry curbs, and using some of the same actions or whatever I can now do switch fs 180-out blunts on little ramps. They're actually popping out better than my regs version, now I want to learn how to properly get into a bs nose blunt... I can lock the position if I roll into it, I just tend to overshoot the coping a little when I try to bs into it. Gonna dedicate some focus on 'em.
-
i'm probably going to say this all wrong but i did a few back 180 to switch crooks yesterday. i only did one out to fakie which is what i wanted to do but i landed a bunch them 180 out. it was on a curb though so it not official official but you gotta learn on something.
-
It's official man! Don't diminish the value of the holy curb!

did you roll up frontside or backside?
-
well to my credit, i did the trick in the middle of the curb not off the ends or straight on to it. i can lock in and grind just about every time but its the popping out thats tough. i hope to get them on something bigger by the time the spring comes around.
i was going frontside at the the curb, back 180 into a switch crooks/nosegrind. it was nothing spectacular by any means, i've landed a few here and there before but i actually put in some work yesterday until a rolled away clean from a few.

Poke your ass out,lean back and kind of sit down,make sure you're on top of the coping.
Yesterday we skated a kind of tall sidewalk ledge/small ledge. tried a bunch of weird tricks.
Landed a few fakie fs shuv back tail, such a weird trick.
Grinded some fakie flip fakie bs 5050s.

I know it felt so good. havent felt this good about a trick since the frontside grind, standing up on that one felt way too good...
I suck at trick advice, but the way i learned em was to approach them a little faster than normal ramp tricks and kinda throw the back truck into it and push it all with the back foot while leaning into the ramp as much as possible. I found that when I hit it slower, I couldnt push it at all and would just kinda slide back in to the tranny with the front truck and hang up, but with enough of speed you can kinda bring it back in like an axle stall. didnt fully lock em down yet, but thats kinda how I approached them...

i agree, amazing fucking feeling. i just wish i could do em good on something besides a three foot quarter. but anyway....
-
I learned them by learning how to stall them first... some of the ramps I grew up skating on were high but super skinny, so there wasn't anything to grind. I just learned how to position it until it became a habit, and as we started building wider shit I just did the same stall positioning, but this time hitting the lip coming at an angle rather than just straight-up-straight-down. If you got too much speed, just hit it at more of an angle and dig in with the back foot. The front foot gets pretty light, just make sure it's over the board and bring it in whenever you have to.

We'll I just came back from trying them and they are insane. I didn't even lock into one, I got just over it then kicked it out. I should learn how to just balance in noseblunt, I've never really played around with them. After seeing Pat Burke's in the $lave vid I really wanted them, the one where he screams like a little girl after doing it.
Instead today I got on the same bank/tranny thing front 5-0 270 out. And, front blunt to switch 5-0 (nosegrind?), grinding/sliding in both, really stoked on that one.

Got kickflip to frontside 50-50s pretty much down yesterday...
Next up: kickflip to frontside nose grind. Followed by kickflip to frontside lipslide.
I'm slow but I'm persistent...
-
Learnt front lips 270 shuv out couple of days ago. Really easy if you just relax a little when you get on and keep weight on your back foot.
Also been trying back smiths but its one of those tricks i just can't get my head around. They feel so awkward just trying to land in the right position let alone leaning back and locking in etc.

I know what you mean i learnt them fakie before normal but I have them down both ways now. Doing it fakie its alot easier to keep it right under your feet compared to regular, i know its obvious but its really all in the scoop.
-
how do you make kickflips higher? I'm always seeing nice kickflips in every video, but mine are stupidly low and sketchy, can't even kickflip on a box.
-
As of yesterday, I can now push switch properly (I'm 35 next month and never bothered learning), and later in the day I landed my first switch kickflip, and came regular close to a lot of other ones. They actually look proper, as my regular kf is mobbed and from the bowels of the ghetto.
The only other real street trick I do switch besides ollies/180 ollies are impossibles, but I thought it was regular that I could do those and not a simple flip. Super, super stoked that I'm steering clear of the path of the Barney right now, haha.

impossibles are fun though.

the tip that worked for me is cheating with your heel. when you go for nose blunt land standing with your weight on your heel and just use your foot to hold the board in place. this will make it so that the likely hood of going you your hip is way less and get your probability of getting into them way up. when i'm trying them i also usually still try nose blunting back in when i miss the setup that way when i finally land one just right i'll actually be able to do something with it.

These are the mysteries of skateboarding... I can push switch do almost any(flatground) trick I can regular, switch(Maybe because I learned switch flips like a week after I learned reg kickflips), yet I can hardly skate any tranny over 4ft. Ironically I like watching dudes skate tranny over street. I'd trade all my switch shit that people struggle with to be able rip on any transition I see.
-

Yeah, I could see that... I'm lucky in the respect that my buddy and I do these little "theme" sessions, be it just cruising, spot hunting, manny pads, or whatever... we spent 1/2 our session just skating switch, and it's rad with him because we're both at the same place and age so we look regular together, haha.

I dig it all, but my biggest problem is I always forget what stance people are (people on video at least) and forget that what I just saw was switch because so many dudes are just fluent as hell either way they go. My same homie mentioned earlier and I were talking about Rodney's interview... stance-less will eventually be the norm. From watching a lot of the local kids to the big videos, it just looks like the next subtle evolution of skating. It's like our boards became ambidextrous after the 80's and now the people that ride them are catching (and in some cases have) caught up.

HAHAH! Dave has the same exact problem! You've no idea how much shit i give him, any time he opens his mouth about a video that just came out, he's wrong. Gotta give him a big "noooo, dave, he's regular footed". It wouldn't even matter if he were just some fuck, but he's been skating for probably +20 years and it's awesome to catch him fumble on something so elementary to me.
I really need to knock it off, though. I can see his mood in general has dampered since I've begun my assault on his alzheimer's.

they look better if you just jump right into them. As the other dude said, try to land with your weight on the wheel. so you only grind with the tip of the truck. Probably easier with loose trucks

As a goof-off thing, every now and then I try to land every trick like Darrell Stanton would, with my ass about six inches off of the ground. It's impossible. This is something I would very much like to learn, just because it's a super fun way to land everything.

Try doing a trick off something higher than your knee, that will make it easier for you faked squat landings.

Damn it man! You're not supposed to learn anything but nollie heel noseslides! You're in a competition!
-
Landed a few sloppy switch back 360's, but by the end of the night I had lost em already. Pretty difficult trick. Gonna have to practice em more. Oh, and a friend of mine learned front lip backside flip out. I know it's "tricks you learned", but still, I'd say that deserves a mention; such a sick and hard trick.
-
a landed a frontside flip on my carpet.
-
fakie hardflips(i know,ewww) but they're pretty easy if you got hardflips down,frontside 270 lip, and switch backside 360.

Also learned fakie hardflips.

I'm trying!! But it's not gonna happen for a while. I got Nollie Noseslides down solid. But I can't Nollie Heel worth shit. It seems like the only way I can get the board to flip properly is to kick down with my heel. The board flips and I catch it with my front foot, but my back foot is too low to get back on. I need help.

That's a rad trick. I do it without the flip all the time. And back to fakie is just that much better.

Maybe try to put your back foot on the corner of the tail. Harold Hunter put his foot on the toe side, I put my toes on the back corner. I guess it works both ways. Than just slam the board against the ledge. That's how I do it
-
continuing on the no comply front
i just learned no comply bigheels

Last weekend me and Devil on Enzyte skated an indoor park and we had this little table top set up on top of a wedge-kicker to flat (that leads to a quarter).
I spent most of my evening doing different types of blunt slides across it... I do blunt slides all the time, but never on anything with a considerable height, but with the assistance of the little kick I was getting regular, frontside and noseblunts pretty consistently. I could lock into back nose blunts every time (sometimes with my back foot not even touching the board) and back nose blunt the thing with just my foot on the nose... gonna revisit that soon and get it.
Anyway, this leads me to yesterday, when one of my friends brought a legit-sized bench-style box to skate... it's as high as a real bench, and after a number of failed attempts I figured out how to pop from flat and noseblunt something on the higher side (for me). I even figured out that if I can lipslide it, I can noseblunt slide it (...and land it as long as I can pop off the end of it vs. coming out early).
Anyway, super stoked... didn't learn a new trick, but now I see it completely differently and can take it around to more places now. Doubly stoked because next week I'm 35 and I've really had a resurgence in how I handle street skating. I've been feeling renewed and shit... jumping down stairs and hardflipping again. This is more of a "thing I'm stoked on" but I'm stoked at what I see as my own progression. Fucking loving it.
-
I've been able to BS Tail for a while now...but had never once gone to fakie. Everytime I even thought about going to fakie I'd just fuck and end up slamming super hard. Til today ;D Did it first try!!!

Same here. If you can picture your tail as a square, when I step off to no comply, I nudge my tail on the upper to middle right side so it hits first (I'm regular). It's pretty simple once you get used to it. I love the little secrets behind tricks. For example the other day, I was breaking down how to do 5-0 grind to switch crook to a couple of the new friends I made in Washington. I just showed them the difference locking in at a slight angle made vs. straight. After demonstrating, one of the guys almost made it in 3 except he had sprained his ankle a few days prior so it was messing him up. Rad shit.

I've been skating for years and just recently learned how to heelflip.

Legitimate b/s 50-50s. I used to just ollie on top of the box, but now I learned how to come at it normal with an angle.

Did a switch nosemanual on a box. I was so stoked. Then went to a miniramp and learned fs 5-0's. Went back to the box and tried switch nosemanual again and it didn't work. I even fell on my ass real hard at the end of the box and then straight down. That hurt.

HAVENT SKATED IN LIKE 3 WEEKS
REALIZED INDOOR SKATEPARKS ARE ACTUALLY THE DUMBEST THING EVER
I USED TO THINK THAT "IF ONLY I HAD A GOOD ONE, THIS WOULD BE MORE FUN"
WELL I BEEN TO SOME REAL SICK ONES AND ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THEY FUCKING SUCK. I DONT EVEN ENJOY SKATING CRAP LIKE THAT ANYMORE ITS ALL ABOUT TRICKS AND SHIT. FUCK THAT. I APPRECIATE SKATING ON A LEVEL YOU MAY NEVER REACH.INDOOR PARKS WIL NEVER EMULATE THAT.
[PLUS IT SEERMS TO ME LIKE ALL THE FAGS WHO ARE OBSESSED WITH SKATING BECAUSDE IN THEIR CIRCLE IT MAKES THEM COOL TO BE GOOD SO YOU GET ALL TRHESE DOUCHE BAGSD HANGING OUT FUCK THAT
IT MIGHT BE COOL IF IT WASD IN MY BACKYARDF OR DOWN THE STREET BUT DRIVING JUST DOESNT SEEM WORTH IT ANYMORE. THERE IS JUST SOMETHING ABOUT SKATING STREET TO ME THAT JUST HIT THIS PAST FALL WHEN I GOT MY CAMERA I DECIDED TO START SKATING STREET AGAIN. I DIDNT QWANT TO FILM PARK STUFF AND I NEVER REALLY APPRECIATED HOW GOOD STREET SKATING WAS TIL I WAS A BIT OLDER. THIS MADE ME REALIZE MY FRIENDS SUCK AT ACTUAL SKATING BECAUSE ILL TAKE THEM TO A SKETCHY SPOT AND HALF THE TIME THERY WONT DO SHIT ON IT AND ILL GET FOOTY QUICK.
BEING INSIDE TRYING SOME COMPLICATED GRIND TRICK OR WHATEVER IS JUST regular... ITS LIKE TRAINING OR SOME SHIT. FUCK THAT I AM ALL ABOUT JOURNEYING TO ALL OVER AND TRYING SHIT AS IT COMES. EVERYTHING IS FUXCKIN ROBOTS NOW SO BORIGN TO WATCH EVEN MORE BORING TO TAKE PART OF. I AM A HUMAN BEING I WANT TO BE OUTSIDE ANF CHILL IN STREETS. THE MORE YOU DO SWITCH STANCE KICKDFLIPS AND TAILSLIDES ALL THOSER "TRICKS" THAT HAVE BEEN DONE TO DEATH ON EVERY OBSTACLE; ITS REALLY JUST A TREND NOW. ADDS RULES TO SKATING. GETTIN SO BLAND SO WE GOT GUYS DOING LEDGE COMBO TO TRY AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THEY ARE REVOLUTIONIzING SKATING.
I CAN GO OUT AND OLLIE A FIRE HYDRANT OVER SOME SKETCHY CRACK AND IT ANNHILATES ANY OF THAT SHIT CAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL EVEN LOOK AT THAT SPOT TO SKATE... THEY'LL JUST GO TO THE PERFECT SKATEPARK OR PERFECT PLAYED OUT STREET SPOT THAT EVEERYONE ELSE GOES TO. NO ONE HAS THEIR OWN BRAIN,. EVERY SKATER NOWADAYS ONLY SEEKS OUT PERFECT SPOTS... I SEEK OUT ALL SPOTS ANY SPOTS ANYTHING THAT HAS POTENTIAL GETS A TRY.
FOR ALL THESE FAGS HATING BUSENITZ - STAY IN THE SKATEPARK PLZ. THATS WHERE U BELONG. THANKS.

Front tailslide backside reverts on a 3 foot quarter today. They feel really good with a bit of speed.
-
half cab nose mani's
Always wanted them but never really tried long enough for them. This year I want more manuals, shit I want more everything.
The other day I got a back tail front revert on this shitty little tranny thing I love to screw around on, only got one but got close every other time trying it. Might try back tail shuv on it, too.
-
got front pivot to front rock and back tail stall shuv on small transtions
back tail shuv needs a lot of work. kind of scary shuving into transition. i really need to slide it but i doubt i'll ever have back tail slides with that level of control. mine are more, hang on for your life style.
-
been going to the indoor once every week, im just hyped on that, staying comfortable on my board despite the winter is great.
learnt willy grinds - for all the haters, that trick is fun.
-
I agree about the Willy grind, it is fun. I'm sentimental towards them because the first one I really saw was from one of Louisiana's first pros (Duane Pitre) in his debut on the Alien video. Fun shit.
Since basically relearning blunt to fakies about a year ago, I've been doing them on everything and have been experimenting with different variations on them. Blunt to kickflip in still eludes me, but since last week I can now nollie-blunt-fakie, nollie crail grab fakie, and nollie ollie-melon to fakie. I also just got switch front feebs and regular front feebs to fakie... at least on what I think is a four foot mini. Pretty hyped because everything except the blunt crail is post-turning 35. I'm just stoked that I'm still progressing in my own way... I just feel really good about skateboarding in general, and I've really been pushing myself hard. I'm getting legitimately beat up learning some of this stuff, and I'm glad I'm taking licks still. Cheesy I know, but fuck.
-
Instead of running away from my problems (moving somewhere with better spots), I've realized I have to get my basics on lock first. Since I don't know of any bust free ledges in town, I'm gonna have to build a small box and find somewhere I can spend the day unbothered with it.

that tricks my kickflip.....use the ball of your foot ram it against your toe side concave, keep pressure on it....snap a f/s shove....it'll flip..and probably stay underneath....
-
never thought I'd do nollie back heels, but I did 5 or so today, pretty stoked
and also did 3 real shitty backside hurricaines on the mini ramp before doing one well, what a feel-good trick :D
-
Grim, I hear you on the feeling really great about skateboarding. I'm feeling the love myself these days. Still just relearning tricks. Last two days=frontside nosegrinds (some would say overcrook, but it's the only way I ever learned to do them), switch tre (flipping properly, but still pretty random and inconsistent), heelflip and nollie heelflip (popped and caught). Also, I've gotten a lot more comfortable with my crooked grinds on higher stuff (between thigh and groin height ledges). I'm still bummed I'm turning 36 this year, but at least I know I'll keep skating regardless.

yes! i'm hyped on the 30 and over progression, not that i'm quite there yet, but at 26 i've been learning more tricks than i was at 16, which i kind of never expected. and i definately got love for the bs willy grind, but in my opinion you gotta do a nollie out of it for it to be legit.

How do you make front side shove its stay under your body like that? When I do them I have to jump back heaps and it makes it look ugly. Landed a nollie inward heel the other day after many paddlepops. Was worth it
-

It's all in the pocket man. I used to do the exact same thing, but put your toes in the little pocket where your board starts to curve up into the tail. Then just go through the motions like normal and boom! front shove! Once you figure exactly where to put your toes it'll stay under you every time.

I actually stomp down mostly instead of out in the middle of the tail (feet are pretty much ollie position for me). Pops nice and consistent. I hang my front foot off slightly when I do them switch, but it's the same motion. Slow mo someone who has them good in a skate vid. I'm drawing a blank at the moment, but if you look closely, you'll see what I mean about the stomp.

I landed a nollie front 360, it was pretty shitty though like only 270 with a pivot. They spin out like crazy a lot of the time though, I'm pretty uncomfortable with nollie in general so I'm pretty excited anyhow.

always thought i would never learn nollie flips, i never knew how to flip that shit correctly
after trying it for a long time, i finally got it, so hyped, it opened up a whole new world, since then i learned a lot of 180 and shove variations on that one, i started fucking around with nollie cab flips since i can do nollie cabs and suddenly after 2 tries i landed one, that one still goes like its straight from the early 90,s but oh well, i am really happy with them

Backside Bigspin flips.
Not trying to sound like a dick, but I always hear em called big flips.

Not trying to hate but how can you not lipslide a flat bar when you can 50-50 a waist high ledge?
To answer you question, it feels much better on a ledge, and even better if you pop out half way.
-
None of you will realize how amazing this is for me...but I have been skating most of my life and have NEVER EVER been able to do Switch or Nollie flip tricks of any kind at all. I bought a new board yesterday, but haven't set it up yet. I learned switch flips while carpet boarding in my girlfriend's basement. THIS IS SHOCKING!!! I'm unbelievable stoked!!

Frontside lipslides always scared the shit out of me, but I learned that the secret is to lean into the tail when you start sliding and than just treat it like as a backside boardslide.

frontside sugarcanes on a little 2 foot qp. then later in the day i did a few on top of this bank to steeper bank situation.
-
backside nosegrinds on some mellow transition

I fucking hate flat bars to be honest. The most I've done on my flatbar is boardslide (frontside and backside). I want to get better at skating flat bars. I'm seriously trying. By the way, I can lipslide fine on ledges (along with some fun variations to grind). I just wanted to know from someone who recently learned how they did it on a flat bar so maybe I can apply those tips when the rain stops fucking me here. I want feebles to be my birthday trick on my bar (please don't start chiming in how easy it is, I've had people skoach me on this, but I seriously can't put it together even though I can feeble to fakie on mini and feeble transfer on spines just fine).

Varial heels, switch frontside heels, frontside tailsides, and backside 5-0 frontside 180 out.

Front 5-0 fakie and back 5-0 180 out on this little tranny

I was you this time last year. But I was skating alot with this guy, who obviously kills rails.
(http://push.ca/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/skatenews/agapi_5F00_vox.jpg)
He told me that the key to skating rails is to just pretend it's a ledge. It's ALL MENTAL. About June last summer I just made myself spend about 20 minutes skating the flatbar at the skatepark everytime I went. I forced myself to try all the tricks I can do on ledges and it slowly got less and less scary and I learned more and more tricks. Now I LOVE FLATBARS.
-
Wallie f/s 180
-
Being messing around with late shuvs. Too scared to try them down anything, though. Might just keep it as a secret weapon for skate.
-
did a few fs shuv crooks
One of my favorite ledge tricks, but i usually do em to bs nosegrinds. I had to relearn em yesterday.
And i actually did a few fakie bs k-grinds yesterday too. Hella stoked
-
Switch Inward Heel. Trick makes my legs go all pretzel.
-
Front 5-0 grind backside reverts on tranny.
-
Yesterday i did a nollie heel down a 5 stair in my local indoor park, i have never done em down stuff. Hella stoked
-
Front 5-0 grind backside reverts on tranny.
that's a good'n! just make sure you revert on your back wheels and don't set your front trucks down first, I don't like to be a technique nazi but I really hate when people do slasher-fakies like that
-
relearned BS bluntslides and learned how to pop out of them.
learning halfcab bluntslides to pop out/5-0/backsmith/however the hell i can get out of it.
starting to learn FS bluntslide pop out to fakie.
learned all this shit on curbs, haha! ;D
but to my credit i'm really trying to pop out of them and do them really long.

Fakie to ss crook? Mannnn, those are so fun. I don't have them at all and doubt I'll ever get them down, but once in a while one will decide to grant a land and it feels good.
Also finally learned nollie fs flips. Never thought I'd do a nollie fs 180 flip trick, so I'm pretty hyped on it.
-
Switch frontside flips.
It can be easy to forget skateboarding is one of funnest things that exist, I'm enjoying the fuck out of it these days.
-
half cab crooks to fakie.
-
Switch Inward Heel. Trick makes my legs go all pretzel.
Inward heels in general are so awkward. At the same time, they kind flip themselves as long as your feet are set up correctly.
-
slappy blunts on parking blocks, so fun
-
kickflip bs suski on accident, front tailslide kickflip out to regular, popped switch bs bigspins
-
I don't count it as learning but I landed a few bigspin bs disasters on my ramp.
-
nollie back 50-50
I've been doing nollie front 50s for a few years now, they're pretty much equal with my regular front 50's. So I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get them backside to the same level.
Also dicking around and learned: Back 50, body varial and then pop out switch
-
Fakie bigger flips (at least that's what I call em) like a 540 flip altogether with a body varial.
Landed a single nollie frontside flip and nearly crapped my pants because I can't just do a nollie flip, but for some reason spinning makes it easier.

switch fs feeblestall back to normal on transition, it probably looks pretty shitty, I don't get in to that normal fs feeble pose

Relearned Pop shove front 50s and switch front 180 to regular 50
I was getting close to switch 180 to smith, (Switch Barley?) but no roll away yet.
-
switch pop shove. really hyped on this; the board used to flip on me every time and has laid me out on my back countless times. I finally figured out the foot placement.

if there was a line drawn down the middle of the board from the nose to the tail, i put my back foot almost completely under the line, with my toes pointing towards the angle made between the imaginary line and the curve of the board. the front foot is in ollie position.

Front 360 shoves rolling in both directions...(finally landed a switch one after giving up on them years ago) They feel so awkward unless you get them just right and then it feels like magic

This isn't even a super good example, but whenever I think of doing this trick, I always think of the one Busenitz does here at 3:58. His front foot is pointed a little toward the nose at about 5/8 the way up the board and his back foot is either normal or pointed a little bit backward, thus making it seem like your feet are pointed slightly away from each other. I do this with the ball of my foot right in the middle of the tail.

Can you wallride (an actual wall not a steep bank)? This helps greatly, but it isn't completely necessary.
-
Nah..not really. For a wallie, do you sort of pop on the ground then roll it over, or pop off the actual wall? that's pretty vague, but I dont really know.
-

theres a small amount of lifting your front wheels up as you approach the wall, but very minimal. Also, no actual ollie involved, the wall does everything, you just make your legs/the board go with the flow.
-
Yeah just ram that fucker straight into it. Lift up slightly and the wall will do all the work. So fun.
I skated the most tranny I have in awhile today and got blunt to back smith (just stall) and a real shitty blunt to back disaster. Also learnt how to slide blunts on tranny, been able to do them on banks for a while but i never thought i'd get one on tranny.

Blunt fakies still scare the shit out of me, but blunt 180s are one of the funnest tricks ever.

Before today ss bs 180 stuff felt horrible, but Today it felt like I never did anything else. amazing
-
^One of my greatest weaknesses. I can barely do a sw back 180 on flat.
Got a nollie heel crook mid ledge today by accident. I've done them before but never mid ledge. It's like when I go to nollie noseslide but land in crook, this time I was holding on for the life of me. I didn't want to let that one go.

Switch heel manual, and fakie flip fakie manual. Stoked on skating manuals now

My kickflips are all weird. When playing skate I usually make them sketchy and low or sometimes I don't flick it at all and it flips halfway with my front foot to far forward - it's so annoying, can't do nothing about it.

Same here. Only due to my fucked up ankle, if i don't roll it for a couple of months I can kickflip fine other than that they hurt too much so I just do them switch.

My friends and I thought it was a good idea to get some steel reserves and skate around at the park.

Bigflips or big spin flips (which is it if you do a tre flip and turn your body 180, backside?) over a hip by my house. Gramptechs.

my friends were skating and filming at this one spot yesterday and i wasn't feeling it so i skated flatground and learned how to bs no comply. i tried some 360 ones, i'll try those when the weather clears up. ;D

Wallies. About an hour ago at 28th and B.
I'm so stoked - I've wanted to do those for years...

completely shitty back 5-0 bigspins. i wouldnt say learned as much as attempted and happened to land a few...

proper back feebles on ledges. feels good.

man! I treid that on a bank to ledge thinking it would be cake if I just approached it with a transition mindstate, and first try got into primo slide, but with my feet still on the griptape, slipped straight out and landed on both knees on the edge of the ledge and then shoulder-dove back into the bank
it was right out of the car and within 5 minutes I was on the ground, writhing in pain
buttt, I did do a couple fakie tre's, halfcab flips that actually leveled out and poked a little, and one switch big flip in two tries, but not a single one since, so I guess that's more of a trick I got lucky and landed once rather than learned.

FINALLY learned no-comply 180's, they look like shit but its a trick ive been wanting to do for a long long time. gonna spend some time today to get them better...
-
completely shitty back 5-0 bigspins. i wouldnt say learned as much as attempted and happened to land a few...
I feel you on that, I landed a front board 270 yesterday for the fist time ever, it felt like complete luck despite the fact that I was actually trying that trick.
-
kickflipped my first six stair. was psyched
-
Fakie BS nosegrinds

Today: frontside rocks.
-
landed a few good halfcan flips today
they didn't take long to land, i guess it's because it was one of those trick i could have learnt ages ago but never really could be bothered/got round to it
-
Switch back 5-0 on a bank-ledge (just wax on the top of the bank). You have to thread the needle before the bank at a harsh angle, it's really fun and a constant challenge. Going to try to grind them a longer though, hardly getting anywhere with it.
-

-

To whoever gave the tip on doing impossibles in a thread I can't remember: Thank you. I can't quite yet control if it goes 360 shove or impossible, I'm fairly confident I'll land it whichever it may be.

I know it's probably easier said than done, but focus on flicking off the end of your board as much as possible without doing ollie norths.

Doesn't really count as learned since I'll probably never be able to do it again, but I landed a hardflip yesterday with all the shit luck in the world. Game of SKATE, T to T, I missed the sw fs heel that would've made me win, my buddy lands a hardflip that would've made him win. (I've never landed a hardflip in my life, barely even practiced them). First go was an expected fail. Second go was an inexplicable and 100% unexpected land land (clean too, didn't pretzel or toe drag it).
I've never yelled "WHAT ?!?" as loud as then
-
Switch front bigspins over a the hip at my local park. I've had them dialed on flat for almost a year now and finally got to learning them on a bank. I like it because I can do them 2 different ways now: full 360 with a little bit of pop or, huge pop landing at about 270, requiring a little bit of a powerslide. I landed the latter just as a swarm of BMXer's descended on the park on a coping denting mission.
-
ollie to front tailslides on transition, and i finally learned front smith grinds on a ledge. feels good man
ive lost any sort of proficiency i once had at flip tricks down drops of any size. it bums me out that i can barely kickflip down my park's waist-high 3 block now :'(

ha, i did one of those on accident when doing a blunt to pivot fakie on a little 4-foot ramp. after i rode away i definitely went into middle-school mode, doing rock fakie, then fakie tail, then rock fakie, etc., trying to understand what had just happened.

I'd have to see it to fully understand, but it sounds like a cool trick! Does anyone else's hip/back kill the day after doing pivots fakies?

that's how I skate tranny in general anyway, though I usually throw in 1-footed rock fakies and tail stall nosegrab hop to body-jars among other innumerable dork tricks so that nobody calls me out on sucking at tranny
-
fs board pop over to fakie... got kinda close on k-grind pop over once or twice, that's a goal for the future I guess, it's a cool trick. flatrails are a lot of fun

I did hurt my back a couple weeks before that, but I just assumed the pain was from doing the twist motion over and and over.

i am going to start doing those, that's hilarious.

frontside shuvits. i could do them switch all day but never regular.
the last one i remember landing was at least 12 years ago and i hadn't tried one again up until today.

Re-learned nollie backside flips for about the 10th time. I always learn them then forget to do them again.

front 5-0s on quarter pipes.
believe it or not, i never really bothered to learn them up until yesterday. i had the little scrapers and stalls but never a full standing long one. i didn't know speed was the key. i was hauling ass at it, i must have grinded at least a good 20 feet or something and the quarter is curved and goes uphill. i've never even done a fs 5-0 that long on curb or even a ledge before. i gonna go back tomorrow and try to get them to 180 out or an overturn. i'm hyped!
-
I had a big breakthrough this last week: 5050s on round bars.
I don't know why no one ever told me the key to this is just to lock it in on the heel side. All this time, I was actually trying to balance in the middle of the trucks... & I wondered why I couldn't stay on... yeah, I'm a little late to the party on this one...

So much fun. And when you do these a lot, it helps you pop normal front shoves a lot better.

I've never back 50'd a ledge, I find ollieing into them impossible. However, I got a clean kickflip bs 5050 the other day. Flipping into it was easier for some reason. I suspect bs smiths and lips are the same... kf bs lip anything would make my life.

I either lose track of the board or don't pop it high enough whenever I try these. I did learn fakie no comply front shove and no comply f/s half cab (fakie 43?) a few days ago just messing around. I've been trying to learn as many no comply variations as possible lately.

backstory: skating a long time, have never in my life had good kickflips. fast-forward to now: i've been seriously neglecting any sort of street skating for the last few months, and have lost a shit-ton; it takes me a while to land tricks i usually have first try. so i decided, in my very lowered state of skating, i need to relearn shit from the ground up. so i started learning kickflips from scratch. all my life i've had my front foot really weird when i set up for them--i can do kickflips onto or into whatever (kickflip back tail, back smith, etc) but they look dumb because of my foot, because it's really angled. and when i do plain kickflips, they're floppy and low. so i put my foot pretty much straight, like an ollie position, and made myself learn them like that. and now, although they're not perfectly consistent, i have good kickflips. poppy and caught well. so even though i've lost everything else, the fact that i have good kickflips makes me so damn happy, i don't even care i've lost my other shit. it'll come back. plus, it's not like i haven't been skating, i've just been skating pools and ramps, so my tranny skills are best i've ever had them. kickflips rule!
-
Uh oh, fat boy learned back foot flips yesterday. Like, ollie back foot flips.
I vow to never do another one in my life.
-
no comply fs big spin
completely random, I was just screwing around one day and did it.
ooooh want too learn.
for some reason i've been having fun doing fs 5050 on ledges or rails and then turning into a lipslide
-
Fakie front heels. I was just messing around, And could always do fakie big heels, and then decided not to turn so much and it worked. So stoked.

I've been trying to man up to mini ramp, I had a bad experience about 7 years ago, and I got a back slash. Baby steps, furious at this point but they bring me back when I would spend hours to days trying to ollie up curbs. I just need to get rock fakies, which is what I knocked myself out on flatbottom way back when, and I think everything else will start clicking.
-
learnt boardslide transfers on a spine.
just trying to leanr the basics of tranny as i barely skate it
-
Nose manny nollie flip out. So happy.
-
^^ Is there any trick to that? I want to learn it but when i move my back foot I loose the nose manny momentum.
managed to get frontside 180 fakie manny fs half cabs out a few times the other day.

rock to fakies suck, I always joke around about how bad I am at them but its a serious problem. I can't do them on anything 5' and up.
-
relearned back tails on ledges for the umpteenth time. i can't seem to keep this trick--if i don't do it for a while, it goes away. i don't skate ledges very often, so i basically have this trick for the day i relearn them, then lose it because i don't skate another ledge for a while.
street stuff is always like this for me--i lose tricks very easily. on the other hand, i don't think i can lose tranny tricks. if it were back tailslides on a ramp, i could do one no problem after not doing one for a year. who knows.

Transition is easier. You actually have to be able to ollie to skate ledges.

half these kids here would be am or pro if they could do these tricks they claim to land. quit kidding your self.

-
^^ Is there any trick to that? I want to learn it but when i move my back foot I loose the nose manny momentum.
I think you just have to find that sweet spot with your front foot, or just keep doing normal nose manuals and it'll come. The problem I had was getting to the end and it not flipping at all, like I would try flip it like a normal nollie flip and it would just shoot forward with no flip. I sort of just flick it more to the side, hopefully it doesn't look mobbed as fuck haha.
-
landed on some fakie hardflips, which are way easier than regular ones for me. I'm ready to just stop trying reg hardflips since the ones I do land I keep stomping the nose off the board.

what i'm looking forward to: skating, very often, the new bowl at chelsea piers in nyc when i move there in a few months. i skated it for a day when i visited new york this month, and that bowl fucking RULES!
youre insane, id take ledges over bowls any day of the week. good bowls only exist in certain places, ledges are everywhere.
??? You'd rather skate a spot that's a dime a dozen than something that you seem to rarely come across if given the chance?

believe or not, backside nosegrinds.
i've done short crusty ones here and there but i did a super long clean one(atleast 20 feet, maybe more) on the outside of a curved ledge yesterday. i did one from beginning to end and another one popping out early with about a foot to go at the end. i've never done that long of a nosegrind in my entire life. granted it took me mad tries and it was at the skatepark but i'm still pretty hyped on it.

Transition is easier. You actually have to be able to ollie to skate ledges.
i agree somewhat--for me, transition is definitely easier, for the most part. but you have to ollie for like half the tranny tricks. don't be silly, cot-guh.
the thing that i like more about skating tranny is that its harder to lose stuff on tranny after you've gotten it down pretty consistantly

i'm old and i'd take ledges over concrete bowls...it's all relative....I've got like 5 bowls within a half hour or less drive and i'd rather skate a decent ledge....they arent a dime a dozen....right now it's a two foot high hip that seems to be winning over everything.

Switch frontside lipslides, half cab bluntslides, and frontside noseblunts on a flatbar. I relearned kickflip 5050s and switch FS 5050s, too. I live for days like this.

Fakie 5-0 half cab out.

One of my favorite places to skate is at a little French fry curb here in town... spent about four hours on it yesterday and got some kickflip front boards, a varial flip lipslide, and full cab back lip. If French fries become a discipline in the Olympics, I'm hoping to come through for the US, unless Ocean Howell enters.
As far as the ledge/bowl thing goes... just put the ledge on top of the lip and everyone can get some!

Unfortunately we don't have a regular vert ramp around, just our bowl but that's a whole different monster. If the transitions are proper, I love skating vert. Not the best at it, but there's no other feeling like that, from the speed to the weightless feeling once you're at the top of a wall. We had a huge one in NOLA a number of years ago, 13ft with the best transition ever. Fucking miss that.

Despite sucking at it, I definitely love just the feeling of riding a vert ramp. Best thing I have ever done on a real one is either a rock and roll or a stand up 5050. I thought rock and roll was scarier though. I really want to learn proper vert backside airs. I've done them on all sorts of shit with vert, but never on a genuine vert ramp. I'd also love frontside airs, but don't see myself having the balls to commit on a full vert ramp. Done it over coping on an 8ft ramp but ate shit really hard trying. On a real vert ramp, those slams would kill me .
On topic, switch backside 180's over gaps. They always felt awkward to float over things and I never really committed to working on them. Did lately, and its a good feeling.

Varial flips are not very hard, but can be cool
see: Brian Anderson
It's ok though, I remember thinking that when I was learning 360 flips and right afterwards. I thought that varial flips were for people who can't 360 flip. Then I got older and realized that no trick is too tough once you have it down, and a little variety doesn't hurt as long as it is done with style. I love playing skate with people and doing the 360 flip then varial flip back to back. Everybody gets at least one letter from that combo.

so far my favorite trick I've done there is gaping over that hip to a 5050 on the curved ledge on top, also just frontside 5050's on the mini quarter by the volcano.

I think its way easier to just jam into them. Kinda like doing a bs powerslide on flat and then shift your weight back. Def agree on not doing the pivot off the nose. That shit looks terrible.

I just started trying the back d, what a fun trick...doesn't seem too hard, I like to just pop a little bit. the trick is the moment when you unweight - just finding your board and putting your weight where it needs to be. I was kind of surprised how easily that trick came to me, maybe a week or so

does it count as learning a trick if you just kinda land on it and happen to roll away once in a while? i don't think it should. any way, i've landed on and sort of rolled away from a few swiss backal big flips as of late. if all goes well (it never goes well) i should actually have them soon.

switch and nollie hardflips.
i used to try them all regular with my popping foot on the very corner of the tail and flick it around as hard as possible, all wrong. put the popping foot flat, 90 degrees to the board covering half of the front bolts (for nollie) and just let it unfold. definitely a trick that if you try and force it, not gonna happen. if you find the sweet spot, it's minimal effort for sure

fs flips. Always seemed impossible to me, but about 20 minutes of actually comitting to it did the trick. I hope I can still do them next session...

Ah. And yeah I was just under the impression that Nollie rotations were also considered half-cab/cabs. I wasn't going to admit that, though, earlier... my e-pride must have been too big. But yeah, maybe I was wrong. Either way... doesn't matter I suppose.

i feel your pain...nollie backside 180 a step up at the park here, my foot came off when i landed which made it stationary while my other foot was on the board and kept going, locked my knee up..FUCKING HURT!

Landed on a bs 180 nosegrind fs 180 out but heel drag stopped me. Would love to get a clean one.
-
Landed a few BS 360s yesterday.
-
Was fucking around the other night doing dork tricks and learned ollie sex changes/body varial/whatever you wanna call it - Where you ollie and switch stance mid ollie. I've always meant to learn that ever since I saw gonz do that one off the curb cut in that Real vid. It was surprisingly hard to do clean.
-
I landed a decent front board pop shuv out on this flat bar at the park. Pretty fun trick.

you kinda gotta pop it, push it out kinda hard, and reach down kinda fast all in one motion. it took a while to learn. richie jackson inspired.

sorta like that, when i do it it wraps it kinda vertical more like an imposible than a front three shuv. I'll try to get one on film soon and post it here because I am curious about how it looks to other people.

Did a couple of K-grind half cab transfers the other day....wanna go to the streets with that one

almost have nollie big heels. only tried them for 30 minutes.
on the other hand, i cant get frontside flips to save my life. when i was 17-18, i never missed them. did them down/on everything. i dont know whats up.

Mike Anderson Wallride Nollie Trick Tip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og2Mb0Tey9I#)
Very fun trick.
-
it's some old 80's trick....you go up a bank and do a miller flip....but obviously that's impossible so you use your front leg to push you over... boneless style...
-
nollie cabs, either way
i've always had nollie 180s, just had to wind my body up a little more. going a little faster than a 180 seems to help get more pop, more time to spin. i don't know how people do 360s down big shit, that blows my mind, spotting your landing is almost all about feeling. you can't see shit.
-
Fakie Bigspins.
I tweaked my foot pretty bad though, aiming for bolts, but my back foot was slightly off and I landed with it on the tip of the tail, and it slipped off with all the pressure and rolled it. Third time I've had that accident in within 4 months, in the same spot. Anterior ligament on the top of the foot. Other than that, though, the trick feels fun and easy as hell. I had a dream I did one the night before and I just tried it the next day and got them.
Ironically enough, later my brother tore his MCL doing almost the same thing but with a huge BS Heelflip over a hip. Instead of rolling the ankle/foot, he hyperextended the knee.
-
Ive always have known how to 360 shuv but today i decided to give it more pop and feels pretty cool catching it then bringing it down, doing them fakie is fun too....

two weeks ago I did a bs hurricane grind to feeble grind on a bank to ledge thing and also a hurricane grind coming out regular again. I was too afraid to do a fs 5-o on that thing, but I learned these tricks within 3 tries. my skateboarding skills are pretty strange sometimes.
-
bs double flip! never occurred to me to try it.
also learned bs 360 the proper way where you dont pivot on the ground at all and when you take off you are already almost a full 180 before you have even left the ground.
i have a really tough time keeping my back foot in sync with the board though, it slips off and smokes me in the shin a lot of times, anyone know how to fix this? i got a couple nice ones off but i cant keep the pop how i want to
-

Does your front foot slightly come off when you do it? Never cared for the look of that.

That will actually help me learn them flatground, come to think of it, despite this obviously being sarcasm, because it will give me a feel of what it's like to spin around further past a 180. So thanks.

pivot fakies both fs and bs, and fakie bs pivot fakie (?). bs pivot fakies are not as hard as they seem, but they're really fun to do so i can definitely understand the popularity of the trick. i learned it on this like two foot qp at the alameda skatepark and then did it on the like 5 foot one and then the 6 foot one. would've probably been a lot harder to learn on a more legit sized qp. learned the fakie ones the same way. as for the fs ones, i learned them at the san ramon skatepark today.

Switch frontside pivots on my parking block on top of the curb cut in my driveway

did a fakie hardflip thanks to some game of skate prompting the other day.

Still can't do bs 360s, but had a breakthrough with fs ones yesterday. Figured out that if you put your back foot in more of a front shove position (way on the inside) and kinda pop UP instead of "around" the board practically does the whole 360 without much effort & you just have to kinda stay with it.
Works for fs bigspins too. For some reason can't apply the same logic to backside tricks tho...

What I wish I could say is "frontside bigspin," because it is, in fact, the hardest trick in skateboarding, but the closest I could get to that was in a dream. I was killing the frontside bigspins... But I digress, and revert to my typical heelflip tech: fakie heelflip 5-0 (or switch nosegrind, rather, or whatever the kids like to call it) is a more recent one I found out I could land on occasion.

I've had totally vivid dreams of doing bs 360s for years. Each time I wake up convinced that I've figured them out now...

kinda crappy frontside sugarcanes on the quarterpipe at stoner park. i kept getting into it at the end of the ramp so i didn't really grind it how i would on a smaller, longer ramp but i was hyped to have landed it.
-
You guys get those realistic dream instances too? You're just so convinced that you can actually do the trick too. It's bloody agonizing finding out that you can't. I refused to try frontside bigspins for days after that dream because I didn't want to weep uncontrollably.
-
front smiths. i feel like such a boss when i do them.
ledges when you pop out like a boss, and on round rails when you lock in for a good while, best feeling.
all this talk of back 3s makes me want to at least give them a solid try. they never work for me, either do front 3s, got a couple switch but that's it. i'd really like to get sw tres down, fuck they are frustrating.
i got tre lips on the flatbar. probably won't fuck with them often, too much of a board breaker. Kept landing in noseblunt too which was scary yet exciting.

fs bigspin you just need to practice flatland 180s first get that feeling and then add in a fs shove... its really not that hard i can even do fs big heel on flat ground... i cant really explain how i do it other than you just have to do the 180 and kind of take your back foot off... dont think of it like a bigspin think of it more like a fs 180 where you are taking your back foot off for a split second at the beginning. focusing on the spin or flip of any trick will fuck with your head you need to just focus on the ollie part i have found its helped me with 90% of my tricks.

That's definitely an interesting way of thinking about the trick. Never heard that before. I'll try that and see how it works out for me. Funny that you mentioned bigspin heels, because I actually have a much better chance at landing that trick than the standard bigspin. I think the more complicated a trick is, the less time your mind has to foil you in the execution of it.

Gave the front 3's a go at the weekend and definately have got something with the 'pop up not around' trick, landed several on flat, will keep working on them.
-
Thats a good tip on fs bigspins. I need to give it a shot, cant do that trick at all.
The key to fs 3s is to turn your head frontside, like look that way as your popping. I would do 270s until i started thinking about my head turning.
-
Man, Ive been trying bs360 for awhile now and can never land one, Ive done them on hips but never on flat or off a ramp or anything. I just need to work on them some more, its one trick that I realllllly have been wanting to learn for awhile. I did learn one new trick today. I was doing hardflips to fakie on a bank and reverted out of one of them on accident and ended up learning hardflip bs180s, kind of a weird trick, but Im hyped about it.
-
Regular font shuvs were the bane of my existence.
-
did my first backside bluntslides to fakie on a ledge. kind of a weird thing but i wallied in and had to land into a bank. did a couple, was psyched.
i oftentimes feel more comfortable wallieing into tricks than i do ollieing into them.
-
This one is kinda embarrassing but I finally ollied the big 3 at Hollenbeck plaza in LA.
I'm a Pussy at jumping down stuff, and the worst part is that once if finally try it, it's usually pretty easy.
-
i did a fs boardslide to fakie the other day i have never done one to fakie in my entire life. i just learned fs blunts to regs not that long ago maybe a year ago and it just seems impossible to do one to fakie.

Still can't do bs 360s, but had a breakthrough with fs ones yesterday. Figured out that if you put your back foot in more of a front shove position (way on the inside) and kinda pop UP instead of "around" the board practically does the whole 360 without much effort & you just have to kinda stay with it.
Works for fs bigspins too. For some reason can't apply the same logic to backside tricks tho...

fs bigspin you just need to practice flatland 180s first get that feeling and then add in a fs shove... its really not that hard i can even do fs big heel on flat ground...?? i cant really explain how i do it other than you just have to do the 180 and kind of take your back foot off... dont think of it like a bigspin think of it more like a fs 180 where you are taking your back foot off for a split second at the beginning. focusing on the spin or flip of any trick will fuck with your head you need to just focus on the ollie part i have found its helped me with 90% of my tricks.
That's definitely an interesting way of thinking about the trick. Never heard that before. I'll try that and see how it works out for me. Funny that you mentioned bigspin heels, because I actually have a much better chance at landing that trick than the standard bigspin. I think the more complicated a trick is, the less time your mind has to foil you in the execution of it.
will be trying both of these ideas out when I next go for a roll, been struggling with the fs 3's for a while, just can't seem to get it round.
Fuck, i tried this out today and first go it popped the best one i've ever been able to do. I still can't stomp then two feet but i was well over the board. Definitely going to work on these this way.
Gave the front 3's a go at the weekend and definately have got something with the 'pop up not around' trick, landed several on flat, will keep working on them.
Could someone clarify this technique a bit please ? I'm most interested

If it's the front 3 I might be. So when you first start trying the trick you might think, "Well I'm rotating, so when I ollie, I'll swing my feet around." Which instead you should just be swinging your shoulders. Basically do a good ollie and your legs will follow. Like olling up. Hopefully this is the process people are referring to, because it's how I do them.
Anyway, at an after hours sesh at an indoor park we were playing skate and someone set a fakie hardflip. Never fucking tried since I assumed I couldn't fathom it whatsoever. Both feet first try. Landed one second go. Wonderful feeling when you've lost all your shit after six months being off the board from a bad ankle.
-
I landed like, 4 gross tre flips today. I have this tendency to step on my nose, so that's why I can't land any of them. Also got close to landing big flips, so I might try to take that one on.

Regular font shuvs were the bane of my existence.
I feel you, man. I want so badly to be able to do that trick well. I think it's probably one of those tricks that you need to do innumerable times before it starts to work properly. I've never done a front shuv that felt "right" until I actually started doing them quite a bit this year.

I think our big problem Duey is that we have at least four friends who have immaculate FS Shuvs. Makes anything we do feel rather inadequate.

You're right about that. It's like being a really fat girl with four stunningly beautiful best friends. I'd come up with a more specific analogy, but I'm not too up to date with my pop. culture and so forth. Who are the four, by the way? Matthew, Jason, Cameron, Kevin?

They're so fun. Now I'm just tryin to find that perfect balance so it's as dipped as I can get it without looking like a fucked up bs lipslide :P
Learned inward heels. Still working on nollie flips mine look so skecthy.
Inward heels are fun/weird. They're one of those tricks where they're either popped and flip kinda slow, or it's that little kid style where it's almost just a pressure flip and pops just enough to get off the ground. I love doing them, but no matter what the leg movement always feels so awkward.
Edit: Finally getting comfortable with nollie dickside 180's. I don't know why, but they're just really fun.

i got full cab flips none sketchy finally

After weeks of trying them and coming super close, today I finally got several pretty lengthy fakie ollie to fakie 5-0s (or switch fs nose grind, if you prefer) to pop-out mid ledge.
I was feeling so psyched after that I also managed to learn 360 pop shoves.
One of the better skate days I've had lately, and I never even left the park, which just goes to show I should talk less shit on parks...

I've always been able to half cab heel, but they were popped enough where they weren't rolling. For some reason, they were popping tonight. I only landed one but I got ADD and wanted to try my luck with other tricks. Almost have back 3's.

^yeah that's another one I want to learn. I haven't tried em yet, but I figure you just gotta turn a little more than you would for a fs noseslide so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Rock to pivot fakie on a small ramp.
Never done one to fakie, but those are fun along with rock to feeble.
Yeah, I could only do them to feeble, but I got the hang of it last night.
I wanna see somebody do a rock to blunt. I suck at blunts, so I wouldn't try it, but somebody could.
daewon's done one in that new year part of his, i think

Switch fs big spins...but keep landing on the nose or nosemanual way too often and fearing I will break my ankle, so it does not feel too enjoyable yet. Any tips torwards not doing this are greatly appreciated.

I put my front toe over the edge of the board a little less than I do for a heelflip and my back foot a little more on the board than I would front shove. You'll have to take into account how much friction the floor you're doing it on has because that will determine how much wind up you can give. As you ollie keep your front foot in contact with the board and let it take control and whip it around as hard as you can. The only thing your back foot is in charge of is the initial pop and following your front into the air. At least this is how I do it. Try to do it switch first if you're having trouble with it because most people find it much easier and you can learn the mechanics from it.
Now teach me backsiders.
I spent two hours at the skatepark by myself trying to get a kickflip front tailslide on the small 7 or 8 inch high ledge. I got on a couple, didn't slide any of them, and landed back on the ground with all for wheels once. It's safe to say I learned it.

kickflip frontside 5050s. I've always been sorta scared to try them but if you just go for it, it's really easy

Kickflip 5050 baffles me. B/S is pretty easy, but F/S is intense.
-
I did this roast beef grab while grilling grilling everybody at the park and throwing up the horns with my left hand...pretty buttery

Kickflip front 5050s aren't that hard, you just have to pop far away enough from the ledge to allow the board to flip.
-
An injured arm has allowed me to fill a few gaps in my flatground game: got half cab heelflips & fakie varial flips the last few days. Also, in a game of skate, landed my first double kickflip since probably 1989 - but I don't expect to be doing that one regularly. Ugly stuff.

Not so much that I learned it, as much as they started feeling comfortable...switch and regs backside 180s, I never really fucked with that and always liked doing frontside more but in the past couple of months backside has started seeming much more natural. has this happened to anyone else? I've always been able to do the trick, just haven't really felt like it was more natural than frontside before...

That happened to me too. Like right when I started to learn b/s 180s, they were very uncomfortable. I'd still do them but I'd always prefer f/s 180s. But gradually, doing them backside just started to feel better and I can't really explain why. It was like once I learned how to pop them really well and the different ways to do them, my mind just flipped a switch and chose backside over frontside.

i had a really good skate the otherday. on this tiny 1/4 i was trying to learn fs sugarcane's and i managed to roll away from 2 over a very long time period, but whilst trying that i over turned and pulled off a 360 ollie and also fully learnt lipslides, which is quickly becoming my new favorite trick to do on ramps

it took me a while to think about it but I would always flick my front foot out in front of me but if you do it more off the nose it flips better. They still feel awkward.

i got really close to learning nollie bigspins with a revert after you catch them (i think they're called nollie gazelles or nollie biggerspins) over the hip. i kept landing with my feet in position to do the revert, i just couldn't seem to whip it around as i was landing. i kept doing the revert a split second too late and it felt and looked regular.

Anyone figure out FS 360s? I can't do them without a little pivot at the end
the way i was taught how to do them is basically you try to keep your back foot straight for the first 180 and then shift it so your regular front foot is straight for the second 180 of the trick. i think that's what gives it that dip look when people try them. if you don't straighten out your front leg you'll end up going 270 without the chance of a pivot. if you don't bend your back leg on the second 180 you wont be able to get the pivot if you need it. i dunno if that helps, but that's the way i look at the trick
last "new" trick that i was messing around with was regular bigspin heels. it kind of felt like the pop was all pressure and i wasn't really flicking the variel heel part. i'll learn front crooks and nollie back heels one day
-
I can't find the trick tips thread but has anyone here front boarded through a kink before? Do you just hit it like a normal rail and go with it? The rail I'm looking at is pretty small, the kink looks doable. I'd just like some advice before I fuck shit up.

Try it a few times and get the feel of it, and make sure you look over your shoulder when you're doing the front board. I know some people who do front boards and face completely backwards and you don't want to be doing that on a kinker.

Landed my first nollie bs bigspin ever in a drunk game of skate a few days ago. It's a basic easy trick for lots of people, but I never got the hang of them. My drunk skating is definitley improving, some of my best GOS ever have been drunk at the bar lately.

Switch bs 5-0s, I'm stoked. I've been trying to learn that one for a while and it's the first trick like that I've learned in a bit.

the other day I managed to get the flip/rotation on inward heels properly, but for some reason my foot positioning on them is mad weird. I basically angled my front foot to the point where my toe is like pointing towards my back foot almost, if that makes any sense. basically just super crooked. worked like a charm, but I'm still too much of a pussy to bring my back foot up and catch it properly for some reason.

got a couple kinda sketchy switch fs 360 heels on this bank, did my first nosemanny back 180, did the longest hurricane (but the kind where you just keep turning back to regular) i've ever done on tranny, was a solid 6 feet when they're usually a foot or so

I learned nollie bs lips to fakie, and with shuvs out, I landed my first kickflip fs board on our flatbar, also did a fs board bigspin out on it. Kickflip fs board bigspin out next, haha. Then I skated this flatgap and did a nollie bs flip, switch fs flip and a nollie bs bigspin heel over it. After that I skated some ledges and learned how to do fakie bs 5-0s, fakie bs tails, and fakie bs tail shuvs out, I also got pretty comfortable with nollie half-cab crooks to. Sorry if I seem kinda cocky, but skateboarding is somehow starting to make some sense. Fuck, I love skateboarding.

never ever have come close to an inward heel, went out today and learned them in less than ten minutes. i guess i just wasn't hanging my toes off enough.
also fucking wrapped a bunch of impossibles, i've done the shitty flat-spin ones before, but these went way more vertical and just stayed right on my back foot. i figured out my pocket and the scraping, now its kinda automatic, stoked. a proper impossible feels as good as it looks

getting real close to landing nose grinds. gotta find that sweet spot between proper footing and upper body balance
I learned 'em lazy man... as long as the grindy thingy is good and fast, you can pop up and just jam the nose down and drop off the end... at least to get the feel of it. After that you can dress it up with the axle-only version (no nose touch). Sick!
Yesterday me and DevilonEnzyte went to a mutual friends indoor mini (mini mini as in 3 or 3 1/2') for a rain sesh and I finally got backside bigger spins locked. Done 'em before, but they were either sketch or on embankments, shit's a lot different on transition. I landed three, and my general rule is if you can get it three times in a session, it gets claimed. I pop/scoop it like an impossible, let it drift, and catch it on the way in.
Came damn close to getting a backside 360 ollie to reverts aka slippery a 540 ollie on the same ramp, but it was hot as balls and we got worn out quick. Came too damned close... going to keep it as one of my next short term goals.
-
yah..my nosegrinds are just glorified nose bonks....
I learned half cab 50=50's.....
-
Backtails in our mini, well, kinda. I did a couple, but slided for just about a feet or something like that.
-
landed a couple nose grinds today. hype was had
-

-
Frontside wall-rides! Straight on, no bank. They feel so cool
-
I've been skating again for 2 months after having to take a year off. I still can't kickflip consistently. I got a FS 360 though which doesnt make any sense considering I could never do those when I was younger. Only took a couple hours to learn. Feels good man.
-
finally rolling away from tre flips consistently.
-
over the top backlip on the ledge, rolled my ankle doing so as well.
-
fs 180 fakie 5-0
-
Battled for a switch tre, landed on a few, finally rolled away from one.

Fakie ollie transfer on transition. It's easy but took me a while to figure out.

-
Landed a noseslide nollie flip out.
-
frontside hurricanes on flatbars
back 180 nosegrinds back to regs
hope to get longer grinds on both of em when my toes are back at 100% and maybe learn pupecki grinds back to forwards
-
not learned but re-learned, 360 flips, haven't landed one since i was about 14 or 15
-
had a niceproductive solo session yesterday, managed to do a couple back 360'd and a switch tre, wanna try and learn them consistantly,
I was so happy with that because my switch is crap, literelly all i could do before was switch shove and 180 lol
-
Nollie Varial Flips, lol.
-
Kickflip bs tailslides. stoked
-
Inspired by I Suck I did a couple of back board 270 outs on a ledge to drop today. Stoked.
-
Recently learned over the top b/s lip slides on the ledge. Well I manned up and learned how to do them the legit way last night, with a sprained ankle.
-
randomly learned nollie back overcrooks the other day, funnnn
-
fakie bigspin manual variations, mostly just like fakie bigspin to manual shuv out/back 180 out but i was super stoked with bs bigspin out
-
Not sure If I should be embarrassed to say this but just learned how to front 5-0 on ledges.

No0thing embarrassing about learning something you couldn't do before, man.
Lately I've been working on doing flippity doos out of manuals and nose manuals, thought the nose manual to flip trick out are looking really weak right now... but that's because I'm currently really weak at 'em.
-
kinda kooky but fs noseslide body varial tailslide :)
-
Slappy/wallridish nosepicks on curbs, like just ride straight up to a curb with your front foot on the nose and backfoot in the middle of the board and jam into a nosepick without doing an ollie. Than try to do it on a slightly bigger curb. Fun, lazy and fat.
-
learned lipslide bigspins recently, and i am starting to get my nollie 180 crooks more consistent, i can still only tap them though, i cant hold/lift out of a switch crook haha

it's like a fakie shuv to switch manny to switch shuv out only skip the manny & repop/scrape immediately.

Fakie hardflip and fakie impossible
-
nollie flip back crook/nose
basically the same trick
-
f/s lip slides on ledges

Did a nollie krooked this week, felt pretty good.
-
learned a couple yesterday, switch rock on tranny with pop in and out, nollie fs shuv shifty up a step up, nollie shifty up the same step up
-
finally learned switch flips
feels really good haha any kickflip trick just seems impossible for me
-
Fakie front 50 down the park rail. Not intense but I'm psyched.
-
big flips
-
back bluntslide to back tail on this bank. can't get the back tail to slide though, which is the new goal.
-
Non-mob flippy more consistent hardflips.
-
landed 3 back tail kickflips yesterday after trying them on and off for 2 years. the trick is to approach the ledge like its curved, come at a 40 degree angle. once I started doing that the flips were more consistent :)
-
Not sure If I should be embarrassed to say this but just learned how to front 5-0 on ledges.
No way, learning anything is sick.
I learn, lose, and re-learn stuff all the time. I could do nollie hardflips and nollie heel bigspins when I was 16, about 17 years ago but today I can hardly nollie-flip w/o a bump or small drop.
Had to take a lot of breaks in the past several years due to injuries but back at it strong now and still learning.
Working on nollie 180 crooked grinds lately, got the pop and the lock, but keep messing up the dismount. Any tips? It feels a lot different than a regular switch crook because of how you twist your body to get into it.
-
Be sure to give it a nudge when you're coming out, or it will just fall away from your feet. There is something weird about that trick, you focus so much on the nollie 180 into the grind that your muscle memory forgets everything you knew you had to do in a switch crook.
I learned to tailslide this long c block at the park. Yay.

Tailslide reverts on tranny
Welcome to the cool-kids club. Been doing those for a lot of years and pretty much always pull it but its still one of my favorite tricks to do. Good set-up trick on park street courses too, it always flows well in a line. When it's done right it's one of my favorite to see too. One of life's simple pleasures.
-
Fakie front 50 down the park rail. Not intense but I'm psyched.
i dunno dude that trick is pretty fuckin scary down anything props
learned nollie inward heels. not really all that hard most of it is front foot
-
I've learned nollie frontside 5-0s and fakie fronside nosegrinds. Almost the same trick.
Pretty stoked that I'm finally getting hardflips down. Next one the list is tre flips (doubtful).
-
i learned lasers last week (regular). it took me 2 years. 2 fucking years. 2 fucking years for a trick thats impossible to do on anything but flat
-
Impossibles
-
no-comply front shuvs (the go to trick is im bummed on skating) and nollie tre bombs
-
Not a new trick but I landed a b/s flip off this small 3 stair at the park.
-
inward heels...like a few months ago then i had to go back to being a full time student (sucks balls). Anyways, I could only do them real slow and sometimes i would land them all wierd and actually roll backwards after I landed it ahahah
-
switch fs 180 to fs 50-50 grind. Can do them to 5-0 sometimes

damn you grind 1 higher than us regular folk
-
Recently learned how to bs nosegrind. Yesterday I started to get them proper without clipping my back truck/tail. Also, 360 flips are so fucking close now, just need to dedicate some time solely towards learning them (unfortunately for me, my attention span for learning flatground tricks is rather short).
-
Nollie full cab flips. Nollie inward heels are so hard for me.

I'm trying to do back crooks but I keep getting stuck on the ledge. Any tips?
I learned by trying to lean more backwards than I would think I'd need to. I try to keep my front shoulder right over my front foot, but poke my front foot out ahead of me a little bit. it takes time to find it too, but once you figure out where on the ledge you want your truck to sit, you should be golden.
not learned, but landed my first kickflip back tail today!! im so excited

I'll try that. I would usually try to lean forward pretty hard because I thought that would help it slide more.

After many year of weirdly slamming onto my hip, I learned frontside noseblunt slides on ledges. Praise da lawd.
-
Frontside pop shuvs. Skated for over 20 years and could never get it to happen but finally saw the matrix. Also popping ollies out of manuals. As an old guy it feels so good to get little basics down that always escaped me.
-
nollie front tails, nollie front tail front bigspin. fakie crooked grind. switch wallie/180.
kinda got the motions of half cab back 5-0 front 180s but i land probably 1 in 20 because they're fucking hard.

I also can't really relate do their tips, however, I reckon their capable of doing them when they can give tips... I don't think bs nosegrinds have that much to do with a bs crooks: your balance point is somewhere else... If you keep getting stuck, just wax the shit out of the ledge or skate faster... and slight angle won't be bad either

I guess you guys didn't get what I was saying. I wasn't saying that learning nosegrinds would help him learn crooks, I was saying that nosegrinds are infinitely cooler than crooked grinds.

That's what I was thinking. I feel way more comfortable with back crooks granted I've never even tried back nosegrinds but I just feel better riding up for a back crooks than I do for a back nosegrind. Thanks for the advice!

nollie 180 switch crooks.
-
Finally get some switch ledge game. Learned switch frontside nosegrinds, and nearly switch back nosegrinds. I was also getting really close to nollie flip backside 50-50s, which would be one of the more tech tricks I've ever done.
-
After watching Mike York's trick tip I got moved to go out and try a 5-0 to switch crooked grind - something I've never attempted before. Wasn't near a ledge during today's session, but managed to actually pull one on a curb. Tomorrow I'll hit the park & try it on a decent ledge.
Does that count as a combo trick? If it does, that would be my first.: )
-
I'm finally able to bs 180 off/down things. It's a glorious feeling. I did one off a kicker yesterday and I must say it's almost better than bombing hills.

i learned fs/bs noseblunts & fakie noseblunts on a concrete quarter pipe a couple weeks ago & had them on lock ever since somehow. everytime i tried those before i couldn't even get into them, for some reason that day i learned them all within 30 minutes. great day.
also i did my first switch 360 flip ever yesterday, best feeling ever. hoping i'll be able to do those comfortably too.

Learned nollie bs lips tonight. I didn't ride away from any because I was skating my friends rail and he was done skating and wanted to go back in his house but I swear I would've landed it the next try haha. I was kinda scared at first because I couldn't see it but I started committing to it fully and they became way less intimidating and easier. I'm hyped how much I've been stepping my ledge and rail game up lately. A few months ago I couldn't even boardslide a rail comfortably.

What shampoo and conditioner do you use?

Haha imma be serious with you. Olive oil shampoo, then lather some tea tree oil and murrays pomade.

I guess the pomade makes that shit so shiny. I thought that Murray's pomade was only for black people that wanted waves. At least that's why I would use it back in the day(six years ago)

I have that Puerto Rican hair which is like a wavy rope. So murrays is the only thing I can use to keep my semi straight/proper.

Nollie bs lips on rails. Pretty easy trick I just never tried them really until recently. Gonna try to get nollie bs tails on ledges sometime soon. I went out and tried a few the other day but they were a little saggy and I can't really see what I'm doing on a bs tail so it's like a guessing game to how I'm gonna land on the ledge. Also Hardflips without breaking the damn board all the time.

Frontside Crooked grinds. Just gotta get them a little more consistent and longer. A lot of times I will try to do a front nose and end up doing a front crook or I will try to do a front crook and do a front nose. It's a little annoying sometimes.
-
Weird, I came in here to post about that trick too. Mine goes into a nosegrind sometimes. Fun trick but its 1/10 for me.

also been gettin busy with the front crooks lately, althought i dont consider it a front crook unless its really bending the truck and putting weight down on that wheel.. or else it jus looks whack.. take notes from Jon Allie, Ryan Gallant, Nate Roline, etc...

Yeah I think my front crooks go into a noseslide sometimes because I'm not getting over the rail sometimes. I end up just bashing my nose against the side of the rail hoping that my wheel will catch the rail.

It might help to think fs nosegrind when you pop onto the ledge, curb etc.. and then tweak it out to fs crooks. Looks pretty good when you do it "right" to.
I recently learned how to do fs shuvs down shit. Dont know why I havent tried them before.. Its fun as fuck

Played a game of skate with a dude at the park yesterday and was matching a helipop, but I popped mine a lot harder than normal and wound up nearly spinning the whole thing and just pivoted a little on landing. After the game I kept fucking with them and got three legit bs 360 nollies on flat.
...now to see if they're going to stay a trick or elude the fuck out of me from here on out.

I did that yesterday and landed one on my friend's rail within a few tries. I also realized the reason I was landing in a noseslide sometimes is because I was going at it at an angle.

Was dicking around on flat & realized it had been awhile since I'd learned a new flip trick, so worked on fakie fs heelflips for about a half hour & landed a few good ones by the end. That trick turned out to be a lot harder than I thought it would for some reason.

Then, maybe a month ago, I tried them again, and I got one within, maybe, 15 tries. I realized when I first started trying them, I was throwing them WAY too hard. If you just put a little flick into it, it'll spin; it's such a gentle trick.
Then a couple weeks ago, I said fuck it, and just tried a regular big flip. I was surprised how simple they were. You have to put a little more effort into getting it to spin and it's harder to spot your landing, but it's really not too difficult.

Got nollie flips consistently now so I started going for nollie bs flips today and got a few.
Also landed an ever elusive hardflip, switch flips in transition and tailslides on this awkward high ledge.

Did my first polejam and learned fakie 5050s.

Just learned and now trying to solidify
fakie 5-0
nollie nosegrind

can't do any of them much besides shin-high ledges but they're a comin'

i just learned switch fs 50-50s on this fat red curb yesterday (it's like twice the size of a regular curb. hey fuck you, this was a big deal for me, okay?)
i also just started getting fs tailsides and fs 180 nosegrinds, 180 out back. finally kinda figured out how to do slappies (used to be scared of them, but they're not that intimidating once you just go for it.)
feels good.
oh, and i'm relearning nollie heels. getting tricks back can be a major pain in the ass though.
(i really want to learn wallrides and 180 no complys this year. any tips on how i can master these SLAP classics?)

nice! that trick is so sick. especially back to regular. as for wallrides. act like you were going to carve a bowl or do a kickturn. also, having your weight centered but a little forward when coming out is key and just let your front foot guide the board as the back foot controls it. i learned them on bank to walls first then after it became easier doing them on regular walls made more sense.
yesterday i learned a new one, not really sure how to say it but its like front board and the board goes back to regular but my body does a bs body varial as if i were to land a front board fakie.

Jealous about the switch f/s 50-50 (I really want to get switch 50-50s both ways down).
For the f/s 180 no comply, my advice is to first learn no comply front shoves. Then, from there it becomes easier to start turning your shoulders with the board. So put your foot on the tail so the inside edge of your foot is at the start of the pocket and your front foot is over your front bolts. Start turning your shoulders frontside. Step to the side and a little bit forward, making sure to step a good distance to the side so your board has room to turn. Then jump and land on your board. Sometimes when you do a frontside 180 no comply, your board will move in front of you a lot, but I actually kind of like that because it feels pretty cool to be able to pull the board back to you so easily.
NOW, for the b/s 180 no comply, I actually couldn't do these until after I learned how to do b/s 360 no complys. It's basically the same philosophy as the f/s 180 no comply, except you have your front toes hanging off the board, your back foot is slightly further from the pocket, and you have to step forward a little more. Again, make sure to step far enough away from the board so it can turn completely. If you just want to do 180, you don't have to turn your shoulders as much as you'd think. Turning your shoulders will cause your board to go 270-ish, but then you can pivot the rest of the 360 and boom! For me, the b/s 180 feels more like a "pop and jump" then the f/s 180's "scoop and turn." This is really hard to describe if you can't do the b/s 360 no comply, so I would definitely suggest getting an idea of how to do those.

Helipop...(nollie bs 360)
-
no comply frontside biggerspin, or no comply 360 bigspin, whatever the fuck you call it. all I know is it does a no comply 360 with an extra shove it.
I've almost got nollie backside flips and fakie hardflips too.

I've been able to do b/s 5-0 to: tailslide, shuv, and 180 (pop outs). But tonight was the first time I did a basic bs 5-0 pop out, felt good.

getting my shifty game on! now added nollie both ways, and fakie bs to the list
also ollie-ing into powerslides
-
Lengthy frontside tailslides/ tailslide reverts on Transition. I'm still figuring out how to perfect them, because maybe 25% of the time my wheel catches and I do this weird 5-0 to tail, which is no good.
Also getting nosegrind 180s more consistent on ledges, very pleased with those.

switch backside nosegrinds coming from the side. Trying to grind that shit long distance though

Just learned wallie back 180s and they are so much fun.

Kickflip bs boardslides and ghetto birds. haha

I started doing pivot to fakies on bigger transition and just fucking around I learnt this trick where it's like a fs hurricane but with a bs pivot. Does anyone know what this trick is called?

Your not alone here Dontkickshitfoot, I too once felt your pain. Back in 92 we used to go to the brooklyn banks when
they were smooth and hastle the occasional crack heads and crooked cops. The skating was fun and the weather was perfect.
I remember going to E.M.B for the first time and seeing Henry Sanchez skate, my mind was fried and I was having good times.
Have fun with your tricks and don't give up on any economic risk, that means go get a house and wreck a brand new car rental.
Have a great evening.

half cab noseslides are so fun. Also started to throw around half cab flip nose slides haven't quite gotten one yet, they're kinda hail marys at this point but it seems like it will work out

Learned switch backside nosegrinds! Learning new grind tricks is easily the most satisfying thing to me. I always feel like I'm kind of limited in that, so when I learn something new it really gets me.
-
Finally learned how to switch front heel. Them things are easy compared to regular front heels (which I can't do).

Front side stand up grind. Jumping back in has to be the scariest thing I've ever done. When I roll away I feel like Deer Man though.

have your front foot a little more back than you usually would for a smith. not too far back because it'll just turn into a 5-0 and shoot out. find that right spot and maybe have your foot a little more pointed towards the nose. i just try have my front foot already in that position before getting into the smith. then practice holding the smith with that foot position so your ready for the kickflip. if you're still sticking use some wax and go faster. i can't do them if i go slower than i would for a normal smith. hit it at the same speed as a regular smith, maybe even faster. i think that helps guide the kickflip away from the ledge without too much effort trying to flick the fucker. hope that helps.
Ya dude for sure I'll give it a try at the park today! much obliged

Keep your shoulders parallel to your board during the trick. I was a heelfliper when i was a kid now i do both but i prefer flips because i can see the board. I do the heelflips kind of blindly.

switch bs 5050 on a curb. a little embarrassed how stoked i got, but that was a breakthrough for my board control.
best trick i got recently was switchflip, by far. i've been trying those fuckers on and off for like fifteen years, so the first one i rolled away from was seriously a spiritual experience. landed 6 of them in 2009, 2 in 2010 and none in 2011 cause I was kinda rehabbing. i'm gonna break myself off this year trying #9 and #10.
anybody have some good tips for switch heel? if you learned it when you were in your 30's, that might be even more relevant in my case. cheers.

Backside bonelesses. I could do them for awhile already to tail or disaster but now I can finally jump back in, and now that's all I want to do. The whole concept of jumping back on to the board took so long for my mind to grasp it's almost embarrassing, especially considering how easy they were as soon as I did it a couple times. Next up, beanplants. Then time for russian bonelesses.

Not sure if its the best tip but its worked pretty well for me. When Im bending my knees down to pop and about to come back up I swing both of my arms up behind me and past my head into the air, and proceed on fliking the heelflip. It should feel like a pretty smooth motion though. Not sure if it works for everyone or if just by swinging my arms I am distracting myself from doing something wrong. Anyways, good luck. Its a fun one.

It sounds stupid, but I try to focus on jumping straight up as soon as I pop the board. I know a lot of people have trouble keeping their shoulders parallel to the deck (including me) on that trick, so just try to stay centered before anything else.
Of course putting your pop foot on the heel-side pocket of the tail will cause the board to react faster. Just experiment with front foot placement while stationary on flatground and figure out what works best and go for it.

appreciate the feedback josh and strike. i tried the arms back thing but it wasn't working out. i can see how that could get you to time it right though. i'm definitely jumping the gun; need to wait a little longer before i flick i think.
the heel pocket for the pop foot is a good tip too. before i read your tip i started gorilla gripping my board with my flip foot and thinking one-foot ollie. that was actually working out. might put the pop foot more in that heel pocket like your saying. it looks like if i do that, think one-foot, then get the pop foot out of the way, i might be there. of course i might be hopeless on this one. big ups on the help out though dudes.

+That arm flailing advice was some regular poser shit btw.
Just make sure you are trying to flick your heel straight out over the nose of the deck instead of karate kicking forward too much. I think that hanging too much of your toe off the deck can cause wild kicks that cause the board to rocket instead of flip.
I would just practice them in the grass or on some carpeting until you figure out how to flick them consistently.

bs 360 no comply. Now i am working on the fs. So much fun trick.
I can do the frontside ones but not even come close to backside ones. I love that trick though, congrats! Any tips? It looks like you have to take your front foot off and plant it way infront and to your toe side so your board can get through your legs right? And it always kinda looks like you pop your tail and take your foot off at almost the exact same time? Shit confuses me.

Having good pop shuvs helps, too. A lot of people say you should look at your back foot, but I don't think I do. Whatever helps, just stick with it.
Learned varial heels about a month ago. Still really sketchy for me. I have to hang a lot of toe off (almost half of my foot), and my front foot is also pretty close to the back bolts. Reminds me of kids who do treflips with their feet really close together. Whatever, though, still pretty happy

I tried this with nollie flips last year and gave up. Even did a nollie flip session that lasted 3 hours without landing.... Fuck that trick.
On a brighter note : landed a varial heel first try in my first session in a week. So I guess I know the trick now as opposed to landing it once in a while.

I think after a certain point during a session you're no longer progressing with the trick; most often working on something for that long is almost counter-productive and it's highly unlikely you'll nail it.
But we've all been there, hehe!

Nollie flips and Switch flips are one of those things you have to practice and learn through brute force. When I first started doing them they felt weird as fuck. Then if you just always are trying them, they will start to feel like a more natural motion. Now I can do nollie flips more consistently than kickflips. You just have to put in the time trying it to make it work.

I find that if i concentrate on flicking my switch flips like my regular ones they always pop and spin better, Like concentrating on making that front foot do the same motions as i would on regular kickflips

Amen to that shit nephew! On the right ramp you can just get away with the best shit! In a weird way (to me, and I can't really explain it) footplant tricks are like the french fry curb of transition. Just so much shit you can do with 'em.

I learnt back 3's today, there hard though. Once you spin its just a blur for like a second, but there fun nonetheless.
I hope for your sake your taking your front foot off. Snowboard style is now cut.
Hahaha I knew someone would mention the snowboard style. But yes my front foot is coming off, comes back on just before i land, its unintentional too I don't think i could keep my front foot on even if I wanted to.

Texas plants, unfortunately nothing like grosso though. �If only.
I just learned those too. Except i did them on a bank. The cloest qp's near me are shitty metal ones. And i'll be damned if im gonna learn foot plants on those janky things.
I want to get a nice hop in now rather than a faint hearted step
foot plants are so dope when done properly. i love dorking around with them.
On topic- I can get a pretty solid bs 360 nollie without pivoting now, but they look weird. Having said that I skate weird so I guess it all works out. I can do 'em off smaller things, and trying to get them up curbs but they turn into helipops, so I'll just claim helipops up curbs, too. hehe
I thought nollie back 3s were helipops? What's the difference?
I fairly recently got that trick, too, but I still have to pivot a good 90 degrees. Weird trick.
I could be mistaken, but I think the only difference is the pivot... at least around here, a helipop would be a bs nollie (180 degrees plus) to pivot, versus keeping it in the air & spinning it all the way around.

One foot impossible...but inside.

Have you ever done a boneless tail slide? On the right obstacle they can feel pretty awesome.

Tried some fakie varial heels today and then suddenly I found Fakie fs big heels very logical and proceeded to land 5-6.
Weird, never even tried it before.
Also did my first switch fs 5-0
-
just had a session on my box and landed some new tricks that ive been working on for awhile.switch front bigspin noseslide, switch flip crook to fakie, nollie flip tailslide 270, bigflip front nose(fucked myself up trying that)and i got pretty close to a hardflip front nose. hella good session and i also got some new manny tricks.
-
i finally learned how to wrap impossibles somewhat recently. it feels really good.
-
I always make fun of combo tricks but for some reason I learned BS smith to back tails.
Then I did FS smith to front tail but that felt stupid

It's pretty fun when you figure out you can whip your back foot around.....

I finally like the way I 3 shuv and big spin. Nollie cab I just learned. I'm re learning switch and nollie tre flips after I can kind of switch and nollie flip now. God these are all flatground tricks lol, but I did bigspin a 2 block today, that shit felt pretty good.
-
i just learnt how to somewhat wrap an impossible around my foot too.
once you learn how to wrap it round it becomes a trick on lock and it's so fun to do

finally got nollie 180's both ways feeling nice

im not really sure what you'd call it, but ill try to explain. approaching the ledge switch with it in front of you, frontside halfcab to regular back 5050. i really, really wanna learn it to back nosegrind or overcrook, but ive already come to terms that its not happening in this life time.

Sick. You don't see that one very often. I saw a guy do a really good one at the skate park recently. I tried a couple later that day going embarrassingly slow and they terrified me. Just felt so awkward to commit to. Didn't come close.

Wow thats awesome. I usually hate any 50-50 ledge trick but this one and the ally-oop 180 50-50's are amazing to me.

fakie crooks , so fun , n it only took from 1986 to 2012 to learn a proper frontside flip lol hahaha fuck I suck !

switch hurricane stall on tranny. and as far as flatground goes i learned that nollie tre 180 business but it feels super dumb doing it, to much fling and not enough control.

Non mob varial heels.
-
I finally learned BS bigspins. In all my years of skating I could never do them right until now. Everytime I would try to spin them the board would always primo, but I finally found out how to spin them right. I found out that it's all about putting the right amount of pressure on your back foot when you scoop the tail.
-
I was so happy when I learned front blutns on a flatbar today. That trick feels so tight.
-
skated a curb today and I got a front nose to fakie and front nose 270 out, before I've only been ablt to front nose to regular.
-
t only took from 1986 to 2012 to learn a proper frontside flip lol hahaha fuck I suck !
Ha - exactly the same for me. Just this year finally got frontside flips feeling really solid & proper after years of doing really shitty-looking, barely popped ones that I only landed once in awhile...
I didn't know anyone trying em in 86 tho - you were ahead of the game...:)

NOLLIE FLIPS, so fucking excited. I never talk about my tricks in a possitive way, but the first one I landed, I popped it super good, it sounded so nice, went real high, flicked it straight back, it flip straight and slow, caught it bolts, and stomped it. Dude I never been so happy haha I just got switch heels again(I lost them for a few months)

Spill the beans. I think my back heels, heelflips and half cab heels are my highest tricks, so I wanna see if I'm doing anything you figured out.
-
Nose bonks, Impossibles(might actually be doing a 3 shuv, either way it feels good) and I rediscovered front crooks. I've been trying to learn wallie back 180s but I'm not sure when to turn my body. Like sometimes I try to turn my body while I'm in the wallie and sometimes I try to turn 90 after the wallie and just slide the rest of the way. The 90 thing seems like a better idea.

With the nollie back 180's, ive found that if you turn your body while wallying then your legs will follow after youve wallied

I changed the way I angled my front foot so it's pointing slightly in the direction towards my tail, whereas before I kept my front foot straight and for some reason that made a massive difference as to how high I was able to pop them whilst keeping it under control, seemed to flip so much better and felt all round more comfortable, strange how skateboarding works sometimes.

it just amazes me how you're just getting front shuvs down (I trick I consider easy as balls and could do all the variations in my sleep), and you have bs/halfcab heels on lock, which is a trick that makes no sense when I try to do it. fuck halfcabs heels to the moon and back.
I'll try your foot angle thing, though. I dunno. fuck

It's really interesting how skateboarding works though huh? One of the locals who has hardflips down can't pop shuvit for his life, shit baffles me how something that I consider such a basic trick is so much harder for someone else at such a higher skill level, it's one of the reasons I love reading the "basic shit you never learned" thread, so many interesting posts from people who can't tre flip but can switch hardlip etc.

Just learned switch fs heel proper. Fs heels are the most fucked up thing though, can't do them regs to save my own life! As someone above mentioned, the learning curve can be fucked up. Never learned regular heelflip until recently as well.
-
sw heels. Still getting them though.
-
i got a two trick line i was really psyched on. fakie pop shuvit, pop shuvit front 50. it felt so easy and clean. i haven't landed a shuvit 50 since last august.
also got fs powerslide nollie shuvits today.
aaand a funky nose stall into a box popped over with a back leg boneless job... yeah pretty funky.

For those that are doing/learning front heels, have you tried turning your font toes a little inward? That little trick unlocked frontside 180 and, varial heels for me.

Bs tailslides on decent sized tranny. Would love to be able to do them on ledges/rails. Really need to try that. Did a varial heelflip today as well, it felt really nice once I got the flip to work

Yo what is it about 50-50s that makes them so damn difficult than tricks that are supposed to be more difficult? I'll do pretty much anything on a rail before I get a comfortable 50-50.

I see our pal Spungo's younger brother pretty often, and he's really really good... we were skating after work Friday and he was dorking on a bunch of ollie body varial variations... I can ollie and switch my stance FS, but hadn't got the knack for BS until he showed me... it feels like a one foot combined with a late shuv. Stoked because BS is my natural spin. After a few I was able to get a couple of little variations (like catching it right before landing and turning it all the way around).
One of those little tricks where as soon as you land it you're like "how did I not already know this?"

I feel like theres more room for error, it sounds regular. Like, something simple, there are only like three things you need to get right, but something more complicated, it fills up my head more. Like say kickflip back tail. I think okay come at this angle pop here, turn a little land on my back foot try to slide and come off. a 50-50 to me it's like so simple. I can come at many different angles I think about everything that could go wrong because it's so simple. I'm just dumb.

Sure you will... it's a lot different than a varial flip. With the varial flip, you pop the tail like a shuv and add a flick, almost half and half... a tre is mostly pop and scoop, but you just do a really light flick. If you can impossible or do ollie 360 shuvs, you have most of the trick. The flick is almost a suggestion.

I remember there being some thread a while ago about dreaming about tricks and then all of a sudden understanding it. This happened to me today with switch heels. Last night I had a dream me and Antwuan Dixon were both trying to switch heel this gap. In the dream I felt comfortable doing switch heels and everything just felt right. Today I went out and landed a switch heel first try. It was ugly but considering the fact that I could barely get the board to flip before with switch heels I was pretty hyped.

Same thing sort of happened for me. I had a dream when I first started skating that I was riding through this ditch and I felt so comfortable on my board. Next day I went into my garage and landed my first kickflip in a couple trys. I had been struggling with kickflips for so long before that. Weird how skate dreams are.

I'm not sure I understand, like a frontside ollie but no comply first? Sounds kinda hard.
Basically. I ended up landing a couple today but none of them were that good. I aslo learned switch blunts, spaghetti westerns, stapleguns and halfcab staple guns, frontside smith to rock fakies, and i don't really know what to call it, but you roll up fakie and spin backside into a backside feeble and then I turnde back around hurricane style. That was all on transition, but I also inadvertently learned kickflip lips while trying kick flip back smiths. It was a good day.

I was fucking around last week and learned half cab staple guns too haha, it's actually a pretty fun trick. I will try those no complies next time though, I like that idea. It also made me think that a well executed no comply to front disaster might look cool.

They're easier than normal front noseslides for me. Once I learnt them I lost reg ones.
Haha that's sicker though! I'm jealous, I've always wanted nollie fs noseslides dialed but it just feels awkward to get into for me.

Once you do a few, they aren't hard at all. It's just some weird, fucked up timing and momentum.

Same here like so many kids start off skateboarding by riding transition I only just got into it recently, it really fucks with trick progression because I could do tre flips consistently but not be able to rock-fakie, it's balanced its self out now but it's a weird period when you get into transition for the first time properly

Can you do late bs 180s? Like ollie and at the peak of your ollie you're at 90* and then turn the other 90* on the way down. The key is that your shoulders don't move(until after you lock in), it's the same motion as the late 180.

Wallie boardslides. Feels really good especially when you're really on top of the ledge instead of the shitty ones where the board is sagging on the side of the ledge. Might try wallie crooks since I got in one by accident while trying wallie boardslides.

i find that the wallie crook is a completely different approach than the wallie boardslide. Based purely on the technique you would use to do a normal wallride as compared to a wallride nollie out as i was unable to do the wallride nollies when i was first trying wallie crooks. Theres way more back foot involved in the wallie board as opposed to the wallie crook in the same way that theres more/less back foot involved in the wallride/wallride nollie. Just some random thoughts/things i noticed while trying wallie crooks after being able to wallie board for years.
You should also try to learn wallie back 5050s/5-0s.
I learned switch back nosegrinds a few days before i bruised a bone on the side of my foot right below my big toe 6+ weeks ago. Hoping i can still do em when i'm able to skate again.

Nollie back tails for like the third time. Only to fakie, though.
i'm on the same boat

I struggled so hard to land a fs smith on this little park ledge earlier. Only locked into like one then bailed. Feel like I tried every way to get in and grind but I kept sticking even when I was going fast. I did manage to land a couple bs 180 nosegrinds, but you just have to tail scrape those and they're easy. But yeah.. what's the deal with smiths.

Can you do 5-0 grinds? Back truck does the work... helps if you can ollie and level out quick, too. Kind've bone out the ollie sideways a bit so right when you're peaking your ollie, you're also locking into a grind.

This and go faster, at first i couldn?t do them without going very fast. When you have made it a few times than try slower if you want.
That helped me.

So right there with you. I'd been skating pretty regularly for the first time in years. Started getting some stuff back, relearning tre flips, fs flips, a few old tranny and ledge tricks, finally feeling good on a board again. Did a noseblunt for the first time in probably a decade. Actually stepped up to a rail, again for the first time in almost a decade and even though I couldn't stick it I was pretty hyped to even get into a couple tricks on a rail. Albeit a small and mellow rail, but still, for somebody in their mid 30s who last skated in rail in their early 20s, there's a lot of bagage to get over, even for a crooks or a front board. Totally was getting back to being a skate rat, just skating 3-5 times a week and stoked. Then the day after i posted that I sprained my ankle really bad. Today's gonna be the first day on a plank in about 4 weeks. I'm guessing it's gonna be a pretty frustrating day.

this. Go fast, they're way easier. Get some speed, lean way back and ride it out. Keep your shoulders even with the ledge and turn at the waist almost like a lipslide. Put all your weight on your back foot like a lipslide too. Once you get into a rhythm and lock in it's probably my favorite feeling trick ever.

also, dont try to slam the truck down on the ledge, but rather rise up and reach for it a little. this works for me, it's strange, but because of it i find i can fs smith higher ledges than i can 50

hallelujah and praise tha lord! your boy crack-diesel finally landed some type of wallride yesterday (on Turkey Day too, after i had devoured my scrumptious feast.) it was on one of those green electrical boxes that have about a one foot bank at the bottom. i kept trying to do a backside wallride to fakie (or bs wallride nollie out fakie? i dunno.) after about 5-6 tries i finally pulled one and felt so damn hyped (yeah, my hand was on the wall and everything, butt fuck you. one day at a time.) i still have to learn regular ol wallrides, wallies and wallrides nollie out on basic walls, but i feel like i'm slowly getting there. after over 10 years of skating, i can't believe i actually got on a damn wall. it's such a personal milestone for my bitch-ass.
(i also was messing around and tried some late fs shuvs. almost landed it too. i want to get that and straight no complies next.)
-
For Wallies just lift that front truck up as if you're about to do a manual, slide your front foot up, and push the board up against whatever you're trying them on. Also this probably goes without saying but you still have to jump as if you're doing an ollie. When I started doing them I thought just bashing the board up against the ledge would make me go up and over it but then I realized I had to jump, now I realize how stupid that sounds. Hope this helps.

wallride crail grab hella sketchy tho, still hyped.

Nollie nose grinds. Wanna learn back tails and fs blunt slides next, any pointers?
With back tails, it's all about using your shoulders. You really gotta turn your shoulders into it. It's weird at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's like second nature. For front bluntslides, you just gotta go really fast, ignore your best judgement and go a little faster than you think would be a good idea to go. A couple other tips I have is that you can't halfass it and try to slide the last half-inch; it's gotta be a solid long slide. Also, when you're mid-bluntslide, try to keep your front foot below the bolts, it makes it easier to pop out of. Good luck

fs 360 no comply. Actually its easier than the bs, which came to me easier at first.

What do you mean here? Sorry i am not speaking good english.

Finally undersrand Back lips on ledges. I didn't realize that you had to put weight on the back foot. Kinda thought you just slam that shit on the ledge and start sliding. I think Carroll is the reason why I'm so obsessed with back lips on ledges. Every single one he does looks flawless. I also learned how to 50-50 rails without shitting myself.
HOW HOW?? Iv been skating for nye on ten years and still piss my pants with fear when 5050ing round rails.. i love skating rails and have no problem with other tricks, nothing beats locking into a lengthy back feeb but sometimes i just wish i could hop into a fifty and not brick it haha
Assuming we're talking 50-50s on round flat bars, here's some advice. Find an extremely low round rail, approach with moderate to low speed, and try/slip off a bunch of times until you start to develop a balance for them. Just like learning manuals, it's all about finding your center and teaching your body how to anticipate the sensation of balance.

No comply fs shove, simple trick id never mastered, reason being I only just tried learning no complies recently, and I love them, just wish I could do them straight up!

Nope. If it's frontside, it's a baglady. Backside is a Losi grind. A Suski grind is the board's in a front salad position, but you approached the rail or ledge backside.

Finally learned slappy grinds! Both frontside and backside.
It's hard because in Finland we don't have those painted curbs in the streets. Found some in a parking garage and learned the shit out of them, so much fun!

Wouldn't really call this a "new" trick since I had em back in the day, but I recently just relearned hardflips again. Pretty hyped. Still only got them like once every six tries though on average, but I'm just hyped to even be able to land them again.

Back tail 3 shove, tryna get back noseblunts even if its just the cheesy ones that dont really slide far

I have front tails but only on ledges. Finally manned up and tried it on the flatbar. Died the first time, went into a front lip and you already know whats next. But kept trying, until I actually got the hang of it. Still scary to me but I was pretty stoked nonetheless. Looks gay but I was pretty happy.

Sounds like you're not leaning as far forward as you should be. Olleing harder into the trick should help you with this. When I first started doing nosegrinds I would try to be delicate when laying my front truck on the ledge and my back truck would always clip. When I started olleing harder into nosegrinds I feel like it helped me power through the nosegrind and would cause me to lean more forward than I was before. Don't lean retardedly forward when trying nosegrinds though or you'll most likely eat shit. Also if you don't know how to do it already try to learn those nollie pop offs when riding off curbs. I did these for fun before learning nosegrinds so when I started doing nosegrinds the motion of getting out of it felt natural. Hope this helps and made sense!

after 14 years of skateboarding i can finally cross bs 5050 off my "simple shit i'll never learn" list. i just forced myself to jump backwards badabing thats it. just took me a few tries and over 10 years of beeing a pussy.
-
proper backside flips finally! ive been able to "land them" forever but never until today have i ben able to catch them and actually turn the board late as im ab to land to make it straight, instead of how people just do them and land crooked and dont really roll away.
also i almost learned regular fs 360s (cant do switch) poppin them all the way around, then i stopped trying after landing a few every hundred tries, and now theyre even harder for me. i could prob do one in a game of skate but cant get them anywhere near 1 outa five tries. id say 1 outa 10-15 ill land, and its been that way for a year. its the only trick ive ever just stopped and hasnt gotten easier on me.
-
Try to do the first 180 as quick as possible then concentrate on straightening your front leg/pushing your front leg towards the ground. If you've turned your shoulders enough, you should swing around almost the entire way. I learned them on banks first because you'll learn the straighten motion easily. If you do it right, you'll pivot on your front wheels the rest of the way.
-
bs flips fakie i guess, like on hips, so i dont have to go all the way around, cant back one for shit

Sort of back 360's, they are really back 180's with a 180 pivot.

Embarassingly I just learned back 5050s properly. It used to be that I could kickflip into them then I slipped out of one one day and fell onto the corner of the box and didn't fuck with them again for years until I forced myself to learn them properly the other day. Such a nice feeling trick to do I'm kinda bummed I've missed out on it for so long.

I used to always land on top of the ledge and slip out on front crooks, shit sucks. Now when I do front crooks I just imagine I'm about to do a front nosegrind and then I tweak the board to the side when I'm about to come in contact with the ledge.

Back smiths and nosegrinds on rails. Stoked on both but probably more on the back smiths because of the fact that ever since the first time I saw Mike Carroll skate I've felt like I would never be happy unless I learned that trick.

Do you set your feet up differently for the ollie than you would for a regular smith? I tried to put my foot farther back than I would for a regular smith so my foot would be in a kickflip position when I land in the smith but then that method just fucks up the smith for me.

How do they suck? Couple years ago, I remember I had front shuvs for the longest, then out of the blue, I kind of lost them. If I remember, I would always accidentally kick them with my heel, so they would do a half varial heel kinda of think (like i said, I don't know what's wrong with yours). I was frustrated, so I just tried them switch and I didn't have the problem I had with them regular. It kind of taught me where my front foot is supposed to go - just sort of up. And I always feel like I'm jumping backwards to land on it. I don't know. I'm not good at explaining what my feet do, especially when I'm in front of my computer. PJ has a trick tip on it, I'm pretty sure.
I really just came here to say I kind of sort of landed a no-comply fs 360, so whatever.

Sick!
My thing with front shuvs is just getting them to rotate all the way around. No problem rotating bs/regular shuvs, but something about front ones...most only rotate 90, and I'm not coordinated to catch them there and turn the rest of the way.

I KNOW! I don't get it. Switch ones are easy. Regs are mystifying. I DON'T GET IT.

stand on the balls of your feet (ouch!!!!) in the middle of the tail, front foot just before the bolts with your toes hanging off the slightest bit. kick down and out but not too far out...this is like my most perfected maneuvre. hope that heoplps

How do they suck? Couple years ago, I remember I had front shuvs for the longest, then out of the blue, I kind of lost them. If I remember, I would always accidentally kick them with my heel, so they would do a half varial heel kinda of think (like i said, I don't know what's wrong with yours). I was frustrated, so I just tried them switch and I didn't have the problem I had with them regular. It kind of taught me where my front foot is supposed to go - just sort of up. And I always feel like I'm jumping backwards to land on it. I don't know. I'm not good at explaining what my feet do, especially when I'm in front of my computer. PJ has a trick tip on it, I'm pretty sure.
I really just came here to say I kind of sort of landed a no-comply fs 360, so whatever.
Sick!
My thing with front shuvs is just getting them to rotate all the way around. No problem rotating bs/regular shuvs, but something about front ones...most only rotate 90, and I'm not coordinated to catch them there and turn the rest of the way.

Turn your shoulders inwards like your going backside when you set up and don't rotate them at all, it mimics what your most likely doing when doing them switch (which I find easier too) and keeps the board underneath you. Front shoulder towards back foot.

It's all in the scoop of the backfoot. That's all I can say. I'm terrible when it comes to descriptions.
-
I tried and did a pole jam for the first time today. I don't know why but round rails (and the idea of doing a pole jam) scare the fuck out of me...I had the chance to try it today and it took a few tries to get the speed/balance/dismount down, but I did it and it felt amazing. There's nothing better in skating than the adrenaline rush of facing something that's scary, going for it, and rolling away.

This, and pick your front foot up and out of the way to be ready for the catch. Also for no discernible reason I have always found them easier when skating my board backwards.

Get your back foot in that scooping pocket, scoop it with all your might, and let the board guide itself to your front foot.
Back on topic: After getting super close to rick flips for the longest time, I dedicated a whole sesh to trying to learn them a couple nights ago and I finally rode away on two of them! So hyped. They're still pretty sketchy looking, but hopefully I should have them looking cleaner soon.

Just did a nollie flip bs5050 on the curb height box at the park. Gonna try it on the higher box next time I go to the park.

Finally learned how to ollie like someone who is 6'5. My ollies were never really low but since I'm so tall I feel like the expectations for my ollies are so much higher(no pun intended).
-
(the pun is there wether you like it or not) (learning new tricks is for sell outs)

Spent a good 2 hours at the park this morning starting at 7am before a single person showed up. Nice to have all that real estate to myself. Dialed kickflip back tail on the mini and varial kickflip nose grind on the ledge box.

Its where you do like an ollie one foot but your board goes vertical. Then the nose hits your pants (the saggy part of the crotch) and does a flip. Hence the name MC Hammer flips : ))))

That sounds so dangerous for the groin. How do you not credit card yourself or just have your junk get all smashed? Do your pants have to be pretty loose and baggy?
I wouldn't try this. The trick sounds like it would look pretty good though.

No comply pole jams. Pretty easy, and I can't believe I never really tried them before yesterday.

Nollie backside flips with an extra 180 body rotation so i do a 360 while the board is flipping basically. I never saw anyone do it before and messed around with it for a while but I have landed them successfully and I'm working on the switch fronside flips with the extra body follow now since it's basically the same trick.

Ollies down stuff out of manuals. like earlier tonight I did a manual across a sidewalk and then ollied out of it down a five stair. It was a new one for me, but I fucked myself up because the landing was super short and I face planted into a door. Still stoked.

Crooked grinds on quarter pipes
Hey how do you slappy noseslide?
Slappy noseslide, front foot in noseslide position back foot in position to give just enough leverage in accordance to height of ledge or curb ( if its a regular curb you can just forget about the back foot really) approach at speed, the more the better, come in straight/parallel about a boards length away then carve towards ledge/curb and lift if necesary, as soon as you make contact place all your weight on the nose and pay attention to your shoulder rotation to control how you locked in and slide. Back foot should be almost weightless and drawn up towards your chest shoulders should be almost square to the board but this depends on your comfort when sliding. Once sliding decide when to dismount and the best way I've found is to ease off the front foot the reapply pressure quickly and engage back foot just below bolts and pop either to regs or fakie. Just push a little into the ledge. Like most slappy tricks the hard part is just committing before the slide. I love slappy noseslides.

I'd messed around with frontside hurricanes to fakie for a few years off and on, usually being able to slide them but never land them. But this summer I worked on really learning them with a revert out to regular. In the past month I've finally figured them out on flat bars, and it's by far the sickest feeling trick I've ever learned. I'm getting them going pretty long, too.
-
I've been forcing myself to work on being less shit on transition. Initially it was a bit of a slog (I really am terrible at it) but it's becoming more and more fun as I get more confident with it. Yesterday I figured out how to ollie into stalls and got it into back 5050s, 5-0s, smiths, and tails.

Front blunts on tranny. Been trying that fucking shit for a solid 5 years... probably 10k-15k failed attempts for sure. Started getting super close 6 months ago and was sure I'd start riding away with it any day. 6 months later was still making 0 progress. So many days I was like "this is it... gonna get that shit today.... not leaving til I land one", only to fail. Then a couple days ago I was actually thinking that it might just not be in the cards for me... maybe I should accept that I'd never get it. But minutes later I apparently did something different and was riding away from it for the first time. Mind blown. So fucking stoked. Got 5 that day. Only on 3 foot mini, but whatever, haven't been this psyched on skating in probably 2 years. Got a couple on a 4 footer yesterday and got a lot more consistent on the 3 foot today. FUCK YES.

That is my favorite qp trick. The secret is to come at a f/s angle and jam your wheels so you can bounce back quickly. Your shoulders just naturally seem to go around and board follows

learned ice plant/beanplant fakies or whatever on a three foot mini. learned how to jump in off the deck in the switch beanplant position and just turned around and learned them to fakie. still a little weird stalling them and coming back in but i did a few. it's a whole new ballgame of balls going up from a three footer to four footer, though

It's def something I have to pay more attention to when pushing switch, but less so as the years go on. It will probably never be as mindless as pushing regular, but it's getting there. I think that photo's like four years old, too, so the switch push probably looks a little different these days.

Stalefishes. Earlier this week I learned them fly-out style, and today I took them to a quarterpipe hip, I haven't been this stoked on a new trick in years. I also did a fakie 5-0 bigspin today for the first time.

The (only) good thing about skating mongo as a kid is that later when I learned to push proper, pushing switch was as easy as regular.

Skated a spine today. I learned backside disasters to fakie, and also to revert both ways.

slappy fs tail slides on parking blocks. it never occurred to me to try them before.

Finally got frontside hurricane grinds...but on this little 10 inch high box. It's the strangest body contortioned trick. I was only 10 inches off the ground and I felt sketched, I have absolutely no idea how dudes do them down rails and hubbas.

"Old School Kickflips"
Half impossible underflips
Primo hardflips/pressure flips (primo stance and the flip goes through the legs), haven't landed it yet, not sure what i'm going to name that one. prob "primo hardflip" lol.

On a more serious note tho- caveman "swedish manuals" I think they're called. your front foot is hooked under your board behind your front truck while your back foot is on the back bolts. i randomly got em while trying to do a caveman one wheeler the other day, haven't landed one off a ledge yet tho.

I think you may be right, actually I think we both may be correct. I have seen both called Ghetto Birds and both attributed to Kareem Campbell. The hard flip late back 180 was on flat and the nollie hard late 180 was on a bank, he named it so I guess it could be any variation of the two.

Needs a "Last new trick you did, but didn't necessarily learn" thread.
So yesterday I did backside flip, but I hate BS 180s/ollies. Have to really focus on my shoulder, naturally I turn FS.
But I did figure out BS spinouts. Ollie/body varial, pivots so far, but fun.
-
no comply slappy wallride shuvit out on walls big enough for my foot to reach the top of. looked sick. haven't landed it yet.

prolly the newest trick i learned for the first time was 5050 body varial out. little kid's trick, i know but i was stoked. was battling fakie 5-0s yesterday and prolly will get those soon if winter doesn't cockblock it.

I'm having a time with bigspins. My front ones are gross and 270 and I pivot the rest of the way and my backside ones go almost all the way but I land maybe 45 degrees off and just stick. Any advice on either of these? I've watched a lot of Marquise Preston's bigspins in his Stay Gold part but I can't get that rotation

try one off the side of a sidewalk so you get more time to complete the rotation

Really shitty half cab 5-0's on a low ledge, approaching the ledge frontside.

Crook to pop out mid-ledge. This shit has driven me ape shit since 1995. I'd either land primo or just gross. I got 'em popping like a nollie out now. Stoked.

Damn that almost 19 year itch. Happy for ya.

You going above the coping or just doing it on the tranny and coming back in? I can do them like that all day, along with some solid frontside 180s and kickflip to fakies, but I'm scared as fuck to even think about going over the coping and getting some real air.

below the coping for today. just learned em and it's only a 3' ramp so i'll mebe launch out of it tomorrow if i loosen my trucks up and can pump the ramp a lil better. i got a frontside boneless just below the coping too (fun ass trick) and maybe a pop shuvit in there too. mostly proud of the ollies tho. i think i almost damaged/fractured my elbow doing a shuvit body varial in a half pipe at the beginning of summer so i try to be extra careful. i hate the way my pads feel so i might have to cop some hockey pads/something more ergonomical i guess the word is.

Word. I'm going to the park today and I'm definitely going to spend some time on the time on the ramp. Maybe I'll see my balls can take over for my brain for a little while and maybe I'll get an inch or two above the coping. Have fun bro.

its more so a bank trick on the 540s but if you just REALLY throw your shoulders with it and youll have a huge rotation. Its either super successful and clean or you eat shit hard on a bank

word i knows an array of no comply shuvit tricks, favorite being no comply shuvit underflip. try that one out. i just did a one foot nollie shuv no comply in my garage and whilst fucking with one foot nollie shuvits came across..... ONE FOOT NOLLIE 180's.... I'm still working on em, but I pretty much got em. You set up like a one foot shuvit, will maybe do a trick tip video on it if i get good at em.

Landed a varial heel Friday for the first time ever. Felt nice.
-
i taught my pal 'philly cheesesteak grinds' and he's batting 1000 w/ them. then he learned fs my dick heelflips but got so frustrated when he couldn't put them in a line. i landed a switch boardslide to manual for the first time but it's not really learning a trick as just combining basics. my buddy's 'my dick heelflips' were awesome though!
-
Mute grab Back foot footplant (name??)
i'm finding i actually don't have this one after all. did it one time on my carpet in my house and figured it was probably simple got real excited to do it on a quarterpipe or down some stairs and can't seem to figure it out again.
anyways yesterday i did a front 180 back willy grind on a ledge, i believe the proper name is front sugarcane grind??? real nice small ass ledge to practice my tech tricks on outside the laguna hills skatepark. i don't seem to have em on flatbar yet though.
-
fakie hardflip, fakie inward heel, and fakie fs heel

Back and front 180 nosegrinds to fakie. Put em' into lines and felt good.

Hurricane stalls on tranny (small as fuck), still feels nice when you whip it back in
-
Took me a million tries but I pulled a wallie at the park today. I haven't tried that hard for a trick in a long time, and even though it was an easy trick, it still felt good when I finally landed it. Hopefully the next time I got fresh legs it will come pretty easy to me.

How-To Skateboarding: Riverdance with John Rattray (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPfLepF8SZo#)
cheers JB, wallies are the dopeshow! i learned the riverdance in a crowded indoor park today. nobody quite cheered but i don't think they were bummed either. i didn't realize you weren't sposedta keep jumping foot to foot so mine was more elongated/less fluid than mr rattray but what can ya do? landed a fs 180 nosegrind wicked easily then couldn't duplicate so i won't say i learned it but that riverdance has been on my mind for some time.
-
finally figured out that magical toe flick for cab kickflips.. so much fun over hips!
-
Back lip front 270 out.

A week or so ago I had my last session before I had to get ankle surgery, so it kind of clicked to me that I didn't really have to worry about hurting myself... It also clicked that I worry about getting hurt simply because I won't be able to skate, not because I'm going to get hurt.. If that makes sense.
Anyways.
I figured out how to do frontside bonelesses over coping, which was actually always a problem of mine. I would do them about three quarters of the way up the transition. Turns out, surprise surprise, going over the coping is the same as going under it. Now, I'm just looking forward to figuring out how to hold my speed when I land, instead of having to really work to get to the coping again for a rock fakie.
That and the few sessions before that, my balls finally dropped and I sessioned the almost-kind-of-legit-but-not-nuttable indoor park rail. Front board, front willy grind as a joke, kind of, and I tried front feeble forever the last session I had.
Either way, I just wanted to have a satisfying session where I kind of couldn't really walk afterwards, and I did. I'm just kind of bummed it took something like "hey, you're getting surgery soon, why hold back?" to get me out of my shell.
tl;dr

Chinese ollie/crack nollie SHUVIT, didn't land one but i'm getting close. would like to see someone do a crack nollie tre... Aside from that, a few tricks i invented involving scooping under the tail or nose to get the board in the air. Will post videos soon

Back lip front 270 out.
Such a sick looking trick.
-
I hurt my ankle and can't ollie, but I can do no-comply tricks. I just learned no-comply cab (fakie no-comply, fakie 360 if it doesn't make sense) and no-comply big heel.
Oh and I'm working on fakie no-comply fs 180s. It's awkward but I think it could be the new big thing.
-
front 180 fakie front crook. don't have it on lock yet.

skated for the first time this year and learned manual back 180 on this like 2 inch manny pad lol

-

At first dont try to slide it. Figure out to do the out immediately rather than trying to slide. And do it very fast and abruptly, turn fast your shoulders and pop it back. In fact you will be suprised how much you will slide whithout trying it while you are doing the pop out. After you have it you can try sliding it then poping it.

Frontside 180 fakie 5-0 grind to fakie on a quarterpipe. Also I did a straight no comply over a board on it's side, I'm finally starting to get a feel for that trick but it's still a long way to go.
-
learned little back smith slashes on qps/mini ramps after not skating for 3 monthss ;D
-
Front nosegrinds, front crooks, and front lips on ledges.
-
Front nosegrinds, front crooks, and front lips on ledges.

I learned a trick today and it made me happy. Front nose picks on a quarter no grab. It feels a lot like a noseblunt. It feels rad to learn a new trick. ( old dog)
-
i learned some more freestyle the other day. if i lived somewhere with more spots/parks i maybe wouldn't sweat freestyle as much, but it is kinda nifty no matter what in my opinion.
-
Fakie lip pop out back to fakie
Back smith rails
-
baby hurricanes on ledges. really rewarding trick for me
-
Pivot fakie on a little qp.
-
Did two fakie flips in a little 3-4 ft bowl. One of those "aha!" moments, I really hope it wasn't just a one time deal.
-
switch fs 180 no comply!
-
Boardslide 270 out (like a fs rock) on a curb, nothing substantial.
Edit: I need to do it on a quarterpipe. That would be stokeworthy.
-
switch back 180 no comply
-
back 5-0 and back 180 nosegrind

I was fucking around on a small ledge and tried fs 180 hard way to 50 and ended up in a sugar cane, couldn't get it to grind very far though.

I don't really learn new tricks. But the last two on flat was fakie varial heel and fakie hardflip. Kind of goofy, but they are fun.
-
Went to my local park, shoveled off a bit of snow that was on the mini and got to work with a towel. Slid back tails for the first time ever and it felt sick to learn something new on tranny. Need to make more of an effort skating transition!!
-
my shoes and board are darma and schmegma but i refuse to set up new gear til the snow is for real done so i've been doing sw front noseslides a bunch. if i turn to regular i can land em sometimes but when they stay switch it's garbage.
-
Struggled and got stressed with wallrides yesterday. I got wallie variations switch and regular so I thought the wallride would be no big deal. I get up on the wall easily but the dismount is what fucks me up. I can't seem to stop landing primo and when I don't land primo my board is still too close to the wall for me to ride away from.

Back 180 switch manny front 180 out. I was trying to come out to switch but it's actually easier doing a 180 out.

finally got around to learning switch boardslides to regular. very basic but i just never felt like hopping on that bar switch
-
somebody asked me, how you do a front board to switch back five o that i posted in this thread but i did not understand thier question till yesterday. Uh you go up to a one sided ledge front board with weight on front wheels (scuuurrrrt!) and jus roll to the switch five o (no pop)

when you posted that i had a hard time figuring it out at first too. i think it's a fakie nosegrind anyway

Did two fakie flips in a little 3-4 ft bowl.
Landed two more today, and also a fakie heel. So many near credit card moments on that one.
Edit: Was too tired to remember last night but I also got a half cab flip (below coping).

This is what I was trying but I was leaning on my toes with my back foot too much causing the board to land primo. As soon as I started putting my weight on my heel I got it within a few tries. Really painful trick to learn or at least for me it was. Landing primo so many times bruised the hell out of my heels and my board is chipped on the side of the nose from being smashed against the ground so many times.

I use to have the same problem with landing primo, I suggest putting weight in the corner pocket of your tail that's closest to the wall and leaning slightly back when dismounting the wall, it also helps when first learning them to try and get your front wheels higher, it gives you more time and room to turn of the wall, be aware that this trick causes some pretty bad razor tail.

After three days and well over a hundred tries, I have finally landed a fakie tre in a miniramp.

-
was fucking around with No-comply verial heels the other day and landed my 1st and months (used to have them on lock until injuries) and thought i would spin it a bit more and try and do No-comply lasers and managed to land one after about 30 tries. first new trick ive learnt in probably a year

Frontside half cabs finally clicked for me, and rolled away from two nollie back 360's which felt pretty cool.

my advice is to find a yellow block that holds a handicapped sign or some other solid obstacle w/ a bit of slant to it. learn them off to the [back] side first and if the obstacle is smaller go over the top like sly stallone. one of the raddest feelings on a skateboard!

Always trying out new no complys.
Recently learned the fakie frontshove version. Weird easy and fun.

One foot nollie front shuvit. Dunno where that one came from. Looking forward to doing these all over the place.

I need to learn wallies I just have never really tried them for some reason they just seem to never reallly get up right. I leaned real slappys on curbs so thats a plus
my advice is to find a yellow block that holds a handicapped sign or some other solid obstacle w/ a bit of slant to it. learn them off to the [back] side first and if the obstacle is smaller go over the top like sly stallone. one of the raddest feelings on a skateboard!
I have to agree with the best feeling.
Another advice when trying them on obstacles with a 90? angle: Don?t Ollie or pop tail. Just crash into the obstacle and try to hit it with both of your trucks. Kind of like riding over a jumpramp.
Have fun with it.

Fully extended frontside Bertlemann to grind on a perfect steep bank to curb. Try that shit. You'll probably tear your rotator cuff.

Railies, nosebonks on rails, wallie to manual, wallie 50, front smith to fakie on tranny, back 50 to 270 on tranny, and switch back bigspin which took forever
Whats the secret?
-
Backside no comply bigspin.
-
Cab backlip, back noseblunt and no comply flips. Pretty close on kickflip back noseblunt bit no cigar.

I set my feet up like a regular bigspin and just scoop the tail way more than a regular bigspin. The hardest part is getting your body to move that direction.

Depends on the rail. But yeah, it happens way to often that the wheels are going under the rail, which makes the board stop.

i figured out that your front foot basically doesn't have shit to do with it. You have to lift it and get it out of the way asap and then you scoop it like you would a no-comply impossible.
also keep your shoulders angled at about 45 degrees.
Landing it can feel pretty odd, whether you have the wrap around or the 'david gonzales 360shove' impossible, you can't really tell if it was right or not. so you just gotta keep doing them until you're satisfied

FS 180 fakie 5-0
-
Always had trouble with backtail bigspins. Set out to get a few landed and figure them out at the skatepark ledge. Landed a couple decent ones. The trick for me was stop trying to do the whole box, and start about half way and kind of use a bouncing method. Lock into the tailslide and bend my knees and then spring up while starting to shove the board. Stoke!
-
slappy front nose to forward
-
I just landed my first Swith BS lipslide today. Granted it was only on a parking block, but hey.
-
Frontside nosegrab to fakie over a qp hip. I'm scared to go much higher than coping, but I'd like to get them more comfortable. Seems like a good set up for fakie tricks where speed is an issue.
-
finally sussed no comply bs 180s... why are they so much harder than the 360 version?
-
i don't think i've learned anything too recently but bruh man picked up wallies a few wks back. he's just not trying to sing his own praises so i will.
-
Learned wallrides finally after all these years skating this sketchy barrier spot last night with a few homies.
I was always too lazy to learn them, I would just try them two or three times here and there throughout the years, then give up and move on because i wouldn't get close. I finally decided to dedicate some actual time to learning them and I had them down by the end of the session. Feels good.

Back disasters. I suck at tranny and this is by far the best thing I've ever done on it.

^ A friend of mine just learned those tonight too. I'm stoked for all three of you, they are a great feeling trick. I recently learned half cab blunt to fakie. I want to try them going the other way soon.

nollie shuv revert banks. trying for boneless fingerflips on tranny, haven't landed one yet
oh an also, the most rad way to start a line fakie? you just run backwards up to your board and jump onto it (off of something preferably)

my front foot was pretty close to the first set of bolts, maybe an inch or two away. A little easier to shift the weight to the nose, maybe? Mechanics have always seemed kinda subjective to me. Like when I hear people talking about how their shoulders move and their center of gravity and whatnot I can't help but assume they're overthinking - All of these people are better than me though so maybe they're onto something.

Learned bigspin front boards. Never tried them before because I felt my feet weren't gonna land into the front board correctly but it ended up being way easier than I thought.
-
Front blunts are ill, i filmed a homie doing a mini front blunt today on a fun box (if you check the kickflip bs lip video i posted in the Stoked On thread it's at the end of it).
Relearned Shuvit to one foot whilst trying Shuvit to cross foot.
Learned that thing u do when you roll up to tranny and shuv your board into it and jump on when the boards about to roll back fakie. (step off to fakie????)
Bomb drop sexchange

Put in some more work on front blunts today and got them to fakie, also made four with a bigspin out (two ok, two sketchy ones). Stoked!

My advice is focus a lot on keeping your board as vertical as possible, the tail pressed up against the side keeps you from slipping into the middle of the ledge. That and wax.

fakie bs nosegrind. stoked

Ha. No. Like an 8.1 feels and looks like a 7.5 now. When I first got on the 8.1 it was too wide. Now it's easy to flip, but is easy to balance on. I've never been good at breaking boards. Anyway, ya skateboarding!

unless you can get the rob welsh pop out it seems impossible to ride away from a noseslide fakie with either speed or style
the last day i was able to skate i re-learned the frontside 5-0 one foots. el vortex gave me the secret years ago, but i haven't done one in maybe five years. i also tried a little copping shuffle doing blunt pop over to back noseblunt. it was on a little quarterpipe so who knows if i'll ever actually take it to a big boy ramp and make it look cool. it's not a technically "hard" trick to do but barley grinds always scared me for some reason. i sucked it up and started flinging myself into this flatbar until i was comfortable enough to start really committing and doing them

I did several switch fs noseslides the other night. I'm no Pat Washington but it still feels nice to do new things.

omg! kick flips (used to be my fave trick ever but lost em in 94) i did like 5 of them tonite and just stopped skating, went home!

damn that musta felt good. i did a staple gun on a quarter pipe for the first time. i guess i'm calling it a chicken's rock to fakie. it might not've been a staple gun since the front foot didn't slide onto the table, it was just like get your back foot that tilt and do a quick coping smack with my front truck. was pretty fun. first coping trick for me.

double kickflip about 2 months ago

i haven't actually slid a kf noseslide but i learned how to kf 90 onto a yellow curb so i spose it's w/in my realm of future possibilities. hopefully. i want to learn rolly pollies wicked bad but i think i need like a 2-3 foot wall. so yeah, basically i haven't learned but 2 things lately and that's jack and shit but i'm on the cusp of gnar.
-
damn. video of you boardsliding on tranny please!
I'll try to get one in the post you skating thread soon for u.
I learned front boards and front boards to fakies yesterday. I spent what felt like an hour just trying them over and over again just because they felt so good. Doing any slides on tranny has got to be one of the best feelings.

Started doing switch slappies.... and with the resurgence of ugly tricks(double-flips, late flips, etc), I decided to go full person and I relearned "half-flip bigspin caspers".

Relearned switch fs 5050s last night. Also stuck a switch front 5-0 too, but I slipped out on the ride away. Its kind of a scary trick, I'm constantly feeling like I'm gonna slip back and eat shit, but I still got close.
My switch game is pretty terrible, so I'm pretty stoked.
Also felt like I could get switch front 50 switch fs 180 out too if I tried, so I might give that one a shot too next time I skate.
-
Flamingos... they're super wack but fun to do.
-
Cab front board and cab front board pop out. Back board pop outs to fakie is a new one to me that's pretty fun as well.
-
No comply front 360s. Possibly the most fun I've ever had on a skateboard.
Switch frontside no comply 180. Far easier than regular.
Can anyone give me tips on how to frontside heel? I can't keep my body over it.
-
jimi, i can't help you on fs heels but my buddy does em out of 5050 so maybe that's a way to learn em [like how fs bigspin is easier that way].
i landed a fluke nollie bs flip on my E during a bareknuckled game a few wks ago [3 tries on last trick if you're in your 30s] and have since landed a few more. had that trick and it's sw fs cousint for a brief period in the 90s in OlyWa.
landed a back tail last night but the percentages were not good. gonna keep skidding them on my yellow curb til i'm balls enough to try it on a ledge.
-
but was it nollie bs flip. . . through da legz?
-
nah, it was more of a nollie back heel but kickflip if that makes sense. prolly a shittier version of how i do em fakie.
-
impossible
-
pretty much got impossibles down now and landed my first switch tre... posted it to insta ahah
-
How verticle do your guys impossibles get? I can do like a 3 shuv that wraps around my foot sometimes but it usually turns into a tre underflip (easy to learn if you have impossibles)... anyways, when i try to get it verticle it seems to get behind me somehow and i only land with one foot on. same thing happens when i try hardflips. might just be the way i'm scooping.
-
rusty i usually do them the three shuv way where it kinda wraps, but sometimes i can get the proper ones when i try for a while
i move my front foot further up the board, almost touching the front bolts
it seems to work better when my back foot is a little less in the scoopy part of the tail
if you try to think about the board wrapping over the top of your foot its easier
try to let the board go sideways as little as possible
sometimes i get some weird shit when i try too hard to do them properly where the board just does a half flip and i think im gonna sack so uhh try not to do that haha
maybe someone who has them locked can help you out better

Figured out switch frontside flips during a game of skate, still struggling too hard with switch flips

i did however land 2 back tails and one Suski to fakie [sposedta be back tail] at the worcester courthouse tonight. i think that makes me bonafide like a hilljacker from kentucky who opens his first DQ!

word i got my foot pretty close to the bolts too. i guess i just don't have em.
-
maybe try doing them the old school way with your front foot on the bolts or even a bit above, ive done a couple like that and it feels crazy
-
haha. i've tried that believe it or not. i saw this video of a dude doing his way up on the nose even and thought i could maybe do it that way but it was some 6'5" dude on a tiny ass board. all pressure so it's kind of the goofiest thing. still impressive none the less.

Relearned half cab flips, landed a few front feebles on a flatbar, and I got body varials, no comply 180's and no comply shuv's out of mannys.
And I did one of those weird no comply 180 to fakie 5-0 revert (?) type things that Pontus does, really stoked on that.

Need to take it to a ledge now!
-
Learned fs board bigspin out on benches. Have had fs board 270 shuv out for many years and started toying with taking it out fakie and it worked. Really stoked because I rarely learn new tricks. More the type to do my same ol' repetoire at new and different spots. So learning a ledge trick got me hyped.

No-comply impossibles. Funniest shit ever.
-
BS 180 Blunts on transition.
This is something I could do for one week about 10 years ago then totally lost. I can't say I have them dialed yet and I've only done them on small shit but when I get in the groove I can do them over and over. I watched a trick tip with Chad Bartie on Youtube that helped a lot. Weight inside the tranny, small pop UPWARDS, turn shoulders, weight on BACK truck coming in. The last part is the hardest for me because I tend to put a lot of weight on my front truck I think.
Hope I don't lose them for another decade...

cant believe how this is the normal struggle to most people... i can only do back tails to regular. i feel like i could try it all day to fakie but it just doesnt work. same with nollie-stance backside tailslides; just cannot land backwards correctly. my friend says its less controlled and easier to do that way, seems harder for me. i think about jason lee and ethan fowler doing them.. the grass is always greener i guess
Same here. I learned backtails and nollie backtails years ago, probably landed em to fakie 3 times combined, and by accident. Also Ive been learning switch backtails too, and those only work back to switch. But front tails and switch front tails I can do to regular and fakie no problem.

How do those work anyway? Like, ollie front wheels into wall then say "no thank you" then turn your back?
I've never tried one partly because I've never been able to put my mind around what is actually supposed to be happening.

It basically works like doing a noseslide on a wall. I was told it was like popping out of a noseslide, but to me its more like popping out early on a crook. You don't turn your shoulders much and kinda scoot the front of your board up it, and when you feel like you are at your peak, doing the little crook pop motion and turning out. If you try it for an hour you'll probably have it. I actually never tried until a friend asked if I could do them, so I tried, and they came. What makes them so fun is you can do them anywhere there is a wall.
I kinda want to try variations of them now, like pop onto just my back wheels on a wallride, almost like 180ing on or popping into a vertical tailslide, and pop out back to fakie. I can do them frontside to regular and fakie now, so I want to try the frontside one to nollie 360 out (with the acceptance that if I can somehow do this, there will be TONS of revert slithering). Obviously, I also want to learn to do them from all 4 wheels on the wall like pontus.
-
on a bank to wall i get all 4 wheels on and do a straight nollie to fakie. i bet i could nollie flip to fakie if i felt like battling it for a bit. i've always hated pictures of those halfassed 2 wheel wallrides so i don't really do em on straight walls where i might be guilty of that. think they're a little harder fs or bs.
-
front three pfffffft nope fs180 quick manual revert
so ugly, but if i land it in a game of skate count it come on ive never done em before man

bs 180 fakie 5050 halfcab out. rolled up to the ledge the other day 'bad idea bad idea' and my buddy goes 'good idea good idea' and i landed one for one, batting 1000. i can do really crummy bs 180 nosegrinds so you'd think i'd have tried these before but i just never did. for yrs i was stubborn as a mule deer and wouldn't go outside my comfort zone so as an older gentleman i'm picking up lotsa stuff i could've had back then.

I feel you on the whole identifying with certain tricks and feeling the need to get em back after losing them. With back tails as soon as I learned to be weightless on my front foot after popping they started to become much easier.

Heelflip varial
I only landed two, but I figured it out! I've tried this trick for 15 years, including one session where I tried for 3 hours. I figured it out randomly by trying to flip a forward flip. I would always slide my front foot out forward, but sliding up and shoving my back foot harder made it happen. I'm pretty happy. ???

What's the trick for not snapping your board while flipping/shoviting to a boardslide or lipslide on a flatrail?

still not what i consider "learned it" yet, but i?m getting along with bs 360s on flatground- still not satisfied with the way i do those, but i got closer over the last couple of weeks. and at the same time i figured out how to bs 360 no comply. stoked on these after nearly 14 years on the board!!!

If the board hits the rail before you catch it then you land on it you are likely to snappo. You need to catch the board fully (or have a lot of flow) then it becomes more like ollieing into it, also have heaps of flow so move your body for the whole trick dont just try and kicky boardslide lock in without trying to land, you have to think your gonna land or =no flow=more stiff lock in=snappo.
Also you want to have really good technique for flip/shuv into boards in particular, you need to land in a very specific part of the board after completing a well executed flip/shuv then catch. It can be more difficult to learn bcos of the number of boards potentially broken along the way... its not like learning flip 5-0 or something where you are highly unlikely to snap your deck so you can try for hours and eventually learn..
you will snap decks learning this trick so if you can afford it go fo it otherwise perhaps wait until your skill has advanced further.. GL

haha sorry, dont stamp on it too hard you have to catch the flip and place it on the rail nice n gentle .. its hard to explain but just like.. be floaty and try not to pop higher than neccesary to get on the rail

Thanks both for the advice! I've already heard the floaty thing before. My problem could also be that I try to learn them the insecure pussy way by doing an ollie too far by the end of the rail, already thinking about landing, which results in a hideous mash of a broken board and unsatisfying landing.

its easier to pop out if you keep more of your weight off the side of the obstacle instead of centered over it if that makes sense.
i cant even remember the last trick i learned. i almost had back 180 5050s the other day though. i was trying them on a curb and kept getting in then rolling up on top of the curb. i need to try it on something with a better edge so i stay locked in. i think if i get it i can get back 180 nose grinds too and maybe slop out a bennet grind, but that might be pushing it.

i landed one of those bs 180 grinds first try and thought i had em. went back a few wks later, slid out on the wax and broke a toenail. now i'm sorta shook but short 180 nosegrinds are less scary even though i get wrecked on them too.

that's awesome ulysses! i seem to have lost my bsts outside of my yellow curb down the hill. i took em, other places [i'm sorry but i did] but now i lose the plot when it's a bigger obstacle.
that said, at my yellow curb a few months back i started beefing w/ kfbsts and was pretty delighted whenever i'd get into one. i actually landed an accidental kfbs lipslide, felt all julien and shit.
this car full of black kids were watching me and they said 'we aren't leaving til you land it' and i've got low self esteem so instead of that being encouraging it was unnecessary pressure. they would yell when i'd fuck up and do kf suski or kf shitty smith on accident and ride away, genuinely stoked but i don't really like people looking at me.
that said, they were so rad about it i got them to film a regular back tail and tow me into a manny in the parking lot [unnecessary tow but looked cool on their phone] and a pretty cool group of guys even though they fronted on putting my tricks onto youtube.
not a new trick but i landed a bs heel over a pyramid hip. landing backwards on a pyramid is sort of a new trick to me.

Proper b/s smith stalls on a small quarterpipe, standing up on them and stalling for as long as I want, with my front foot entirely on the board. That was a few days ago, today I practiced them on a slightly bigger qp. At this rate I'll learn proper smith grinds five years from now.

How did you do it? I haven't done a proper kickflip in years. Somehow they won't pop, even thoug my ollies and all the other tricks pop nicely.
A friend of mine has the same problem and we can't figure out what to do. 360-flip feels good but it would be nice to have the kickflip back again some day.

Honestly, I think I just got lucky. I landed a few in a row one day and all of a sudden I have them good again. I used to be able to do them almost every try, then I learned impossibles and my kickflips kinda disappeared. Now that I got them again, my impossibles suck. I think I've done like three 360 flips in my life, so you got me there.
I need to learn this one. It seems like it would feel really fun.
I learned that one on a manny pad that was on top of a bank, so that made it a lot easier. The first time I landed it I did a 180 out when I wasn't really trying to. It's almost easier that way, because your body wants to keep turning.

ew that is a trick that ACTUALLY grosses me out. I dont have very pretty no comply impossibles(and dont get me started on how ugly my actual impossibles are), but when I try no comply impossible and it only spins half way im so embarrassed because i think it looks so bad.
maybe i just need to see a good one done, any examples?

Im confused as to how that trick works on a bank to ledge or at all really, got any examples? it sounds sick, my feeble mind just can't fathom it.
-
this is how it works if you've got quick feet. bank to ledge was easier because i had mad time to grind and get prepared to slam and welcome to the jam into the dead end of the ledge and the incline means you're going to ride away even if you're outta gas.

Was really close to learning Fs slappies the other night. My main problem is that when I get my front truck fully locked in my back truck stays on the ground, or if i manage to get both trucks on the curb I kinda do like a sideways type grind where I'm grinding with both trucks but I'm leaning away from the curb too much, instead of actually standing on the grind, and I fall off after only grinding for a split second. Gonna try to go back soon and work on them. Luckily I live right next to a plaza with some amazing red curbs.

Fs 180 nosegrinds are deceptively hard. I learnt them by watching JT's down the Hollywood 12 a bunch of times and just going fast for them. They may look simple but they are fun as all hell to do. That's what I'mma do a fuck load of next time I'm out on my board now that they are back in my memory.
Sidenote: Having not done one on a ledge in at least 2 years, a week or so ago I was getting a real awkward trick back that is nowhere near as hard as it sounds. Approaching bs, fakie bigspin fs 5-0. It was only a kerb but you better believe they are fun and I'm taking that back to a ledge next time!
-
heh, i had a friend [since retired for frisbee golf] who usedta fakie bigspin tail every yr on video. sometimes they'd go to 5-0 but between us, those were accidental.
he had fs 180 nosegrinds too, that frickin trick always goes to noseslide to fakie for me. i can do really short fs chink chinks on the last 12-18 inches of a ledge but not really sit on the switch 5-0. there's a shitty park ledge that goes up, flat and down that i've 180 nosegrinded the short down slope but it's sort of cheating cause my board is prolly level, the incline is doing the work.

sw kickturn on a legit wall. i've done sw wallrides on jersey barriers since forever but i landed a real sw wallride tonight at my plaza. 56mm wheels and channeling matt reason added up to a swell night tonight.

i did my first frontside and backside slappies on a real curb last night, im stoked. to solve the problem of your back truck staying on the ground, try taking almost all of the weight off your back foot. put everything into the front foot and jam it on there. also, visualize your board getting into the 5050 position

Frontside 180 switch 5-0s and fakie ollie switch 50's half cab out on some mellow ledges also I finally was able to texas plant properly instead of throwing it to disaster on anything over 6 feet.

How is this in ANY way lame? I'm stoked as fuck for you, after recently learning bs slappies on a nice new(ish) cerb (unpainted here in the Northern Ireland, if you are skating painted curbs here they are one of 2 combinations of colours and either is risky as fuck to skate) I tried a few fs ones and nearly chopped off my big toe. Any tips for these because I'm eager as fuck to learn them.

I would say go however fast youre comfortable with as long as youre not going slow, going slow makes it way harder. so go fast at a pretty sharp angle and when youre getting close to the curb really swerve into it while kind of leaning back and away from the curb and just slam your trucks into the curb while putting a good amount of force behind your back foot to get your back truck on cause when I'd mess up on them only my front truck would get on and I'd start to willy grind. I feel like if youre leaning away from the curb with all your force in your feet and mainly back foot it really helps you get onto the curb, the grind is pretty quick at first, you'll feel like your slash grinding which is a good feeling. And if I missed anything or got something wrong feel free to correct me anyone, I dont wanna be giving shitty tips haha

word, never tried it on a slanted rail, that would be tight. if you have feebles down they might even be easier than switch 180 5050s, since you dont have to pop as high/aim the front truck.

Sick, back 180 out would be rad. I just learned no comply 180 to switch 50. I had them Pontus style with the half cab out before I learned em like that.
The other new one I got is boardslide to hurricane on flatbars and double sided curbs. The hard part about that one is trying not to put too much effort in. You just have to stay on your heels and slightly lift your back truck on. If you try to jam it like you would do with boardslide to feeble it doesn't work.

Got switch frontside noseslides back to switch on a pretty tall ledge yesterday. I'd never done one before, but I did two pretty good ones and filmed both of them.
And I don't want to jinx myself, but I landed on about 20 fucking switch 360 flips yesterday and couldn't roll away from a single one. I've never even properly flipped/landed on one, so I'm pretty hyped on at least getting closer. If the rain lets up today, I'm going to fucking land one. That's kind of a "holy grail" flip trick for me.

Trying to get those nollie heel f/s noselides Shark Tits was describing down pat, been a bit too hot for my liking though...
It felt amazing to finally land one of those, I've been fiddlin' & diddlin' with those for at least 6 years now!

It took me a really really long time to do this; I feel like I've honestly been trying a good four years, but I did a back three today. I've wanted this the most out of any trick, and will be a long way from consistent, but very excited to have done one on flat, and did one on a pyramid today. Bucket list or what not, but fuck it. Proud of myself.

Thanks dude. I learned them on flat first, it seemed more intimidating to me trying it out of a bank. Backside powerslides are definitely a good looking trick too.

Awesome Rusty! I really want to see that bomb drop wallride buddy!!! :)

Didn't technically learn them (I think if you do 3 in the same session then you've learned a trick) but I did a switch frontside hurricane on a parking block yesterday.
I wasn't sure if I was going to come out regular or to fakie (I was going to take whatever I could get) but I ended up coming out regs.
It felt fucking awesome by the way.
-
I've somewhat relearned nollie and switch flips over, down, and up things. Pretty happy with that. I haven't had much time to do any skating due to constantly working doubles.
I'm stoked to see that the older heads on here are still progressing and landing new shit. You guys kill it.
-
no comply reverts, slappy krook fakies, slappy backsmith. Trying to get back 50s down so I can have that a go to trick.
-
And I don't want to jinx myself, but I landed on about 20 fucking switch 360 flips yesterday and couldn't roll away from a single one. I've never even properly flipped/landed on one, so I'm pretty hyped on at least getting closer. If the rain lets up today, I'm going to fucking land one. That's kind of a "holy grail" flip trick for me.
I've rolled away from 3 of these now. 8)

fakie back tail to regs + fakie f/s crook to regs, stoked!

tailgrab nollie boneless and they're surprisingly much higher and neater than my regular bonelessses. maybe raddy to go try one on a quarter pipe for shitz and giggles. also learned rolling boneless walrrides but they're not nearly as high or as cool as my bomb drop wallride. i think i got a good one involving the nollie boneless on a bank to wall. also, for those who were wondering, no i couldn't get the bombdrop to fakie hangten wallride last night.

Frontside bluntslides.
Been a trick ive tried for 20 fuckin years and its still scares the shit outta me on a ledge.
Felt soooo good to do a bunch in a row (well i missed some but no horrible slams and I did about 10 or 12 nice ones to fakie)

the little kid trick of fakie bs 360s, and backside 360s, i can almost get both of them to spin all the way in the air but for the most part i go a little over 180 and pivot the rest of the way, still can't get f/s flips or tres to work even though i landed them last December.

So let me get this straight full cabs and back 3's are now "little kid tricks". If you're sliding the landing try it off something. MUCH more desirable than "f/s flips or tres"
I took my nollie tailgrab boneless a step farther a second ago and had it flip into a nose casper stall. i got a text that it's probable i can be filmed tonight so maybe i'll try that one downhill after a slide? sounds perfect.
well. i also did a proper tailblock slide the other night those are easier than ya'd think here's the secret: put your foot over the back bolts right. so front foot over the back bolts back foot on the tail, early grabbing the nose just be going fast enough and lift that bitch up. it helps to be going down a hill. to do one foot tailblocks put just one foot- don't matter which one see- over the back bolts and early grabbin the nose lift that bitch up once again. yeah. tailblockin.

Landed a few new ones today , fakie front 180 to FS 50, fakie front nose and did a switch back 180 nosegrind ( it was a little dinker and kinda sketchy but I'm stoked to learn them better)
-
half cab blunt stall
I always knew they were easy but I could never lock it in.
-
After years of not understanding how impossibles work, I seemingly out of nowhere learned them. I was doing a line at the park of a few tricks that I'm not that consistent with, someone yelled to me to keep it going, I was on flat and just tried it for some reason. Spun it perfect and stuck it and slipped out, an hour or two later and I had it down pretty good.
-
Beanplant dark slide on rails
-
Thought it couldn't be done, but I can do a wheelie by putting my feet in a certain place on the board and then grabbing the nose with my front hand and pulling the board up to a delicate balance. I can only do it like 7 feet. Indy grab works too.

that's awesome. I've come close to stuff I've never landed before in a line. I think it gives you that extra incentive/motivation. (Full disclosure: a line for me is basically doing a flip trick after landing a 50-50 on a small ledge.

Can-Openers over hips!! I'm stoked, they're super fun when you do them right...
here's a little insta clip with one as the second trick.

i got varial flips, tre flips, fakie b/s and f/s flips, almost got big spins too this week. tomorrow i want to fuck around with ledges, i want to get 5-0s and nose grinds. my main goal is to 50-50 the hubba at soma this week, and board slide the flat bar by the four stair with the drop.
-
I learned frontside airs, front disasters, kick flip to fakie, and pop into front smith in transition.
Also learned wallies and boardslides up handrails the other day.
-
I learned really shitty switch backside noseslides really struggling with getting them to slide a decent distance, I either get toe drag or end up slipping out
-
Back 180 nosegrinds. Ate a lot of shit missing the edge and landing on the top of the ledge instead but once I understood the scoop it was a lot easier to aim right. Hoping for a switch front 180 out at some point.
-
fakie straight no complies, have to be going kinda slow though
fakie fs 180 no comply
nollie big heel on banks
landed on switch manny fs shove, want that then switch varial heel out, shit's been my money gun. gotta find a good local pad.

while popping the trick try to have your back foot in the "backside pocket" of your tail (the pocket where otherwise your heel would rest). it worked for me as it would compensate for the lack of rotation and maybe the excessive ollieing. the first few will inevitably turn to fakie

Alright man, I'm believing it's even mechanically possible for you to get it down a 4 stair then.

Haven't skated in months but inward heels, regular and fakie, were the last tricks got. Felt great to finally get them. Fakie inward heels and hardflips were tricks I was trying when I was 6 or 7. Got them at 23 and 24. So now I've done every (non-switch) basic flip trick. Was working on front 3s and was getting close but I quit.
-
After like 5 years I finally got nollie backside heels and b/s 360s— albeit they were shitty, but I'll take it for now.
-
I've been watching Fully Flared a lot lately and I got inspired to do some more technical stuff.
I learned frontside boardslide 270s and backside 5-0 kickflip out
-
i actual grinded a b/s 50-50 today that wasn't a slappy, pretty hyped. i learned the ones where you jump backwards to get onto it, surprising i didn't hit my heels on the way up even though my shoes stick out because they are a size bigger.

Dope. When I couldn't do these they didn't make sense for the life of me. They started making more sense when I thought of doing mini back 180s to get onto the ledge with that little scoop, instead of jumping backwards. Eventually it just becomes a back fifty instead of thinking of all of that. Now I do them more than even front fifties.

If you want to be real pedantic, sure. Have it your way. To me that 270 shit always sounded stupid and needlessly specific.
I just translated it directly from Danish, I usually just call it 'fs ollie den lange vej rundt', 'the long way around'.

i'm realizing that to do s/s f/s heels consistently i have to skate my tail
this is weirdly frustrating to me, to not have my right foot on the tail when i land
other than that, fakie 5-0 flip out, f/s shove nosegrind, nollie 270 back tail
lost my back lips on ledges this year when i busted my chin open x_x

If you're landing primo put weight on your back foots heel side, kinda tricky when you're first learning them you could also try a jersey barrier, this trick will razor tail the shit out of your board so beware.

nah i never landed primo. it was just like the one time i landed with both feet on it it shot out from under me, probably just because i wasn't expecting to actually do one and wasn't prepared haha. jersey barriers are totally different. i can do them on those no problem. also, speaking of putting weight on the heel side of your back foot, i saw some crazy wall ride photo where the dude's back foot was like primo. thanks for the tips btw

Got front rocks on a shallow quarter today.
Gonna step them up onto some bigger stuff before I lose my nerve

Slappy hurricane on ye olde double sided curb. Yes, I employed rails for my strategy. I came out forward. So awkward. First real 100% new trick in ages.

Makes sense, more time to get them around! Still haven't gone past four foot with them, but this is encouraging!

shit i've been trying to relearn tricks lately, growing fucking two inches every couple months fucking up your balance doesn't help the skating at all. but recently i popped a half cab off of a 3 stair and i got my manuals re dialed, still can't do anything out of them though.
have you guys ever had that problem where you used to be better but you never stopped skating in between then and now but you're worse? thats where i'm at right now.

Take a week or two off. My wife and I had our first kid 4 months ago and it kinda made me take a break from skating everyday (I was exactly where you are with not getting better) and it did wonders for me. I think it's that after a break I was super keen to try new tricks. Now I feel more consistant than ever, and thats saying something for a 31 year old.

Fake five oh half cab. I'm 38.

That backside 360 no comply trick. I know everyone hates no complys now but they're fun to do off curbs
-
Learned b/s disasters on legit quarterpipes, didn't even slam in the process. They feel great, can't wait to swing them into b/s lipslides and then learn b/s tailstalls and tailslides.
That backside 360 no comply trick. I know everyone hates no complys now but they're fun to do off curbs
Must feel great to do them off curbs. I could only do them on flat, now I can't do 'em anymore, only 180 ones. I don't know what happened.

Trying to learn how to do wallie nollies any tips?
I learned these the other day and I think it kind of helps if the wall is slippery. Also learned nollie front crook to fakie but still cant grind a regular front crook very far, nollieing in is a million times easier for me. Almost got switch back nosegrind 180, gonna try again today if it dries up. Still need to pop my bs big spins without landing primo, seems like everybody has that trick but me
-
Got sparked on Hsu's cover and learned nollie back 180 to sw FS nosegrind. Also landed a sw frontboard shuv
-
I haven't skated in a year. I've had a few career changes/failures, a relationship end, was drinking a lot, being a miserable fuck.
I skated a parking garage by me for 30 minutes right before a snow storm is supposed to hit here. Had so much fun and all I can think about is trudging through the snow tomorrow and doing more heelflips and fs shoves again.
I got a slappy noseslide to crook, which I've never done before, and I came really close to landing a few more of them. Popping out of the noseslide was easier than I remembered when I tried it before, but keeping the board from shooting away from the curb was hard as hell.
-
i almost had boardslide front shuv out on my flatbar today, but i couldn't get into the zone on tricks though because some faggot ass little fat kid blowing bubbles wouldn't shut the hell up, even my front yard is a shitty spot to skate.
-
Caveman nosegrinds. Had Andrew Allen on mind while doing them. It's a cool looking trick and lots of fun. Easy to mess up and look silly when you lead with the wrong foot though or at least for me it is.
-
i did a fs 50-50 kickflip out the other day. the first time i've flipped out of anything in my life.
and i'll never do one again
-
Manplant air walks

frontside wallride with no hand on the wall. So pumped !! ;D

Airwalk on flat lol
there's short Epicly Laterd episode they made for the Supreme LA opening where a drunk Javs does an air walk on flat. Always thought it was interesting.
-
Bs feeble transfer on flatbar, stoked.
-
Did a back nosegrind pop out the other day. 16 years in the making, hopefully I can pull another one off this weekend
-
I think I am getting better with switch heelflips.
-
fakie flip back tail
-
Not a new trick because I can do them normally, but I no-complied the barrier at my park which is the highest thing I've done it on, so that's neat!
-
Front heels. And nollie back heels. Front heels are weird.
-
Frontside pop shove it backside revert and getting closer to switch frontside 360s.
-
Learned switch front foot impossibles just dicking around the other day. They're surprisingly easier than I expected.
-
Nose stall to back losi on quarter pipes. Was trying to go to axel and fell into losi.
It felt kind of cool so I leaned them. ;D
-
Relearned switch flips, and actually popping them decently this time around. Also got beanplants which are a lot harder than bonelesses for me.
Really close to getting fakie tres consistently, but I keep landing with both my feet on the nose of the board ???
-
I learned how to do legit popped pop shove its, feels good to catch them after getting a good scoop, gonna try to improve my switch ones next.
-
I learned varial heelflips after getting stoked on seeing Reynolds do em, landed a couple and then tried to do lean them fakie but had trouble rolling away, really fun nonetheless, I've never really been a heelflipper but stoked to give it a go.

I've probably done less than 10 heelflips in my life and never fakie, but I love all the other variations. Varial heel is probably my best trick.

Well, i'm with you. I'm not that bad at normal heelflips tho, but i was a lot better when i was younger. I still can do'em but i kinda lost them, I struggle a little to land one. Varial Heels in other hand are so much easier to me, and probably my best trick too.

Learnt SW FS Rocks recently and have been thrashing them so much they've become easier than regular ones for me.

Barley grind and barley grind 180 out. Hyped that I'm still learning legit new tricks in my 30's. Was trying to do them switch after, don't have them yet, but stay tuned....

Frontside krooks. Finally. Feels so good. Basically didn't do anything else today once I figured it out. Ive done it before but could only land like one out of ten and most of the time I would lock into a nosegrind first and then tweek it into krooks. Sixpack well deserved. Now im only missing bs nosebluntslide from the ledge basics.

I kinda turned my front foot inward a bit, and set up like I was going for a boardslide, and kinda aimed my front truck while trying to have the lip of my board hit first, then lock in the truck- not like a boardslide to barley, its just like a millisecond on the way down. Also, 180 out is easier- landing them to fakie was seriously throwing my balance off, and the ones I got that way were far from perfect, but the 180 ones were going smooth at the end. For the record though, my advice might be terrible, its just what worked for me.

How do you hold the grind after turning? For me, the turn makes it feel nothing like a smith/switch smith once your truck hits. I can 180 switch 5-0 to switch and regs like its nothing so naturally I've tried these a few times but cannot lock in properly for the life of me.

I'm so close to front crooks, I can lock in and pop out of one once every 10 or so tries, but I usually pussy out and take my back or front foot off (they seem to pop off way higher than bs crooks). Got any tips for locking in consistently?
-
I keep all my weight on front foot toes and straight on top of the ledge (no lean away from the ledge) and toes are pointing backwards while shoulders are still straight (shoulders the same way as bs tail or fs boardslide). Also I set up with my whole front food on the board even toes slightly hanging off and try to position my foot in the pocket when I lock in.

Honestly can't say, it just kinda worked for me, I learned them the first day I really tried them, because for some reason that day it just felt like it would work, and with a few tries, it did. lap the truck that is grinding so that your heelside wheel is against the ledge/rail and push your board against it I guess? I don't know, I actually thought the 180 made it easier to keep it locked in than a regular smith....sorry if that's not any help

That heelside wheel thing kinda makes sense, perhaps trying it on a round flatbar could help. Cheers

Today I landed my first ever switch 360 flip. I'm 36 and have been actively chasing that trick for the last 12 years. So no talent whatsoever, but I fucking did it. Needless to say I'm on cloud nine.

I learned Barley grinds trying to learn hurricanes, which I never learned. I know it differs for everyone but Gip is pretty right on in his description. I sit my lower half like I'm cruising on a fakie 5050, sort of the same principal as how you treat a smith grind as a 5050 with one of your legs straight, it's sort of the same thing. My upper half I keep straight like when you sit on top of a boardslide so you can throw it out in front of you if you start to slip out. if you sit on it like that pulling them back to regs feels really natural. When I pop my front foot is real close and sometimes covering my bottom bolts on my front truck. I'm not an expert on them or anything but I can do them so that's good enough right?

fakie lazer flip.
actually wanted to do a fakie varial heel in a game of skate, but pushed too hard on the nose and landed it 99%. tried again and got it pretty clean even, no tic tac or whatsoever. was super hyped that i did it 2nd try ever and once again found out how false beliefs in how hard some tricks might be are limiting you. just try shit!
-
Fs slappy, so much fun.
-
Rock to pivot to fakie. I've done them to feeble and pivot but I was never able to get them to fakie. Very satisfying!
-
Never had nollie flip crooks but they're starting to work
-
i had pivot fakies couple years ago on a super small miniramp but never did it since. but now since there is a new DIY spot in town i got them back really well on a small china bank. also bs nosepick pop in and switch pivot and popping in back to regular. don't know what it is called though

lazy faker flips here. pretty hyped.

Learnt back tail frontside 270's and halfcab bs nosegrind bs 180 out this past week

Back over willy or I guess I always knew it from messing up on back lips but I've started intentionally doing them & they feel cool. Been able to do them tweaked so it looks like a back lip but with my front truck grinding instead of the board being all flat on the ledge & looking like a failed 50-50 or something.
-
Fakie ollies on QP's. Like Alvarez style, with your body facing the coping. Its gotta be a mellow quarter or a steep ass bank. Feels good.

Sorry for lurkin this far back, but I can do them to fakie and its almost like an over-exaggerated slappy backside nose on a wall
-
I though that shit was a bag lady (the back over willy that soda called the losi grind -maybe it got a name on street and a different name for vertical.)
-
Just started boosting frontside bonelesses off the coping.
I hadn't been doing Bonelesses on transition much since I was still learning to skate transition because one time after taking the front foot off the board snapped into my face, but for some reason 2 months ago I started to do bonelesses again and the shit just clicked in my head. I guess following the nocomply 180 trend helped out with this one.

I learned backside 180 flips on flat tonight. I thought it was a trick that i just couldn't do. I had alot of fun.

Getting there with switch frontside flip.
Started ollieing into switch backside 50-50 on curbs. Still feels awkward due to stiff torso movement, hard to describe, but I can get on both trucks and pop out straight.

I don't think I'll ever have sw fs flips. I can switch bs flip sometimes but my board never wants to flip and spin frontside at the same time switch. I've also always wanted to learn switch bs 50s.
-
Nollie 180 switch crooks. I find it so hard to pop out of any crooked grind, can only drop of the ledge when it ends of 180 out, very frustrating.
-
Just learned sweepers last week. I could never figure out how to drop in with only the front foot. Did it on a bank like 20 times and now I can sweep anything.
Also just learned FS boneless the same way.

Did you get them by accident while doing nollie tails? That's how I got them, and really the only way I can still do them. Just an over turned nollie tail. I also have to fall off the end. No hopping out for me.
-
I learned front 3's on a pyramid hip. It's so hard for me. I just kept hitting this wall at the 180 mark. I couldn't turn no matter how hard I was trying. Then I started winding up and throwing my shoulders, it felt so uncomfortable- but shit, it worked! It was the coolest feeling ever! Can't wait to try them on flat!
I give so much more props to Jeremy Wray and anyone else who can front three- insane shit, it's so hard.
-
I got a couple decent kickflip frontside nosegrinds last week. One of those tricks I always love seeing but never thought I'd do. Felt really good.
-
Bs hurricane stalls on qp, have had fs ones on lock for years but no backside until yesterday, felt so good! Next thing is to figure how to grind that shit...
-
frontside tailslides and backside tailslides on our little diy bank! sooo stoked!!! ;D
-
sw bs 180. this was hit and miss and has become a no brainer to the point it feels better than normal ones. i kind of overturn them a bit and have to dance em out a little bit. trying to get a sw bs 360 down before summer ends.
-
Relearned fakie hardflips today! Landed my first one in years today.
-
so close to frontside tailslide kick flips to regular today, but never rode one away :( was too hot out and i surrendered
-
Frontside 5-0 frontside 180 out and back crooked grinds finally. :)
-
halfcab crooks, sometimes my body ends up twisting around and accidentally goes back to fakie.
-
frontside tailslides. i had the hardest time even popping and landing the tail on the ledge, but i had a revelation one day where I started trying to just land into a tail stall. Once i got this regularly I started going faster and faster toward the ledge and eventually today I locked into the tail slide a number of times. stoked to keep working on it and eventually work on the backside tailslide.
-
Haha I actually came here to post that I just learned front tails. Idunno why I never tried learning them before
-
Learned pop-shuv-it 50-50 bs 180 out. Haven't learned a new one in a while. Feels great.

Slappy ss crooks, so easy when you figure that shit out, dunno why i kept struggling with it for years. Might be my first trick ever that after landing first one i was able to do them every try.

nollie inward heels
-
Cab flip back tail bigspin out.
-
Switch fronstide and backside wallrides on a barrier.
skating barriers is the most fun.
-
fucking heelflips, it stresses me out how much they come and go for me, hopefully they'll stay on lock from now on :D
-
Its gross, but I had to learn switch pressure flips
Ive tried for 20+ years and its the ultimate mindfuck(at least for me)
I finally learned them just before I tore my acl
Karma at its finest

Ugh, I was trying nollie 180 switch crooks for an hour straight last night. I got into and grinded 10 or so for about 3 feet, but I just couldn't get out of any of them. Falling off or popping. I landed about 20 fucking nollie tailslides while trying them.

Ugh, I was trying nollie 180 switch crooks for an hour straight last night. I got into and grinded 10 or so for about 3 feet, but I just couldn't get out of any of them. Falling off or popping. I landed about 20 fucking nollie tailslides while trying them.
Rotate those shoulders more and you got them

Did a few casper to fakies on a bank today, they weren't super legit but they felt cool.
-
About 6 years ago before taking a skate intermission I could do inward heels consistently. Today I got them back relatively frequently (1/5 or so) and landed a few fakie inwards as well, which I've landed maybe 1 of before. I think I find them easier than regular inwards now.
Really want to get them on a bank

Proud to say I made my first ever back lip in and out in the middle of a ledge. t age 39.

I've thought about trying this trick numerous times but always forgot about it. Today I learned a trick where you ollie into a nose manual but right away, basically instantly do a nollie shove it. Dumb, but super fun and I want to do it to manual on a manual pad, or across something nosebonk style.
-
i kinda got some 360 pop shove it action going on, also kickflips out of manuals, and hardflips, bigspins, and frontside flips are still being a bitch to land, my bum ass back leg won't land on the board

I really should get around to learning hard flips, they're such a rad looking trick.
-
In over 30 years of skating, no trick gave me so much problems as a switch BST. I can finally say I got one under my belt. Time to take it on something higher in the streets. Got my fakie crooks back too.

Nollie 180 switch crooks. I find it so hard to pop out of any crooked grind, can only drop of the ledge when it ends of 180 out, very frustrating.

Just saw this, oops. Nope, I was actually trying them. I think of it as a nollie tailslide but before I lock in I dip my right toe down(I'm regular) and that helps the truck lock into the grind, then I sit on them and hope to grind more than 2 inches and roll away haha. Can't even do this one anymore, was fun while it lasted.
-
Not technically new because I've done them a bunch, but I learned fakie 270 feeble to fakie on a decent concrete quarter and now I wanna learn how to actually grind them better.
-
Relearned double flips the other night fucking around on flat.
-
Learned fakie heelflip properly popped and caught. I suck at heelflips, can only do varial heel and now also fakie heelflip proper, switch works though. Also "learned" fs no comply pretty easily today. Fun trick but not my cup of tea.

I really should learn back 180s so can learn front boards and backside grinds on ledges and shit. I guess the last trick I learned were proper wallies off of angled shit, still getting used to sort of not popping and jumping instead.

Front blunts on ledges finally. I've strongly desired this trick forever but could never figure out the weight distribution and where exactly to put it on the ledge. Probably sounds wack but thinking about Heath's front blunt on Stanford hubba actually really helped me with the foot position and the front blunt bigspin Ishod did in Sabotage 3 helped me figure how to pop at it.
-
Front board to fakie on ledges. Had never thought of that trick on a ledge until tonight.
What I really wanted was to do it popping out in the middle of a ledge, but my board kept flipping when I tried it.
Also really want to learn impossible in honor of our fallen comrade.
-
Don't think I have ever posted anything on this thread but here's some stuff I have picked up
Not every single time but landed a hospital flip
Messing around tried it as a half-cab variation and landed it with some toe drag
Also decided to get back 180s, it takes me too long to set it up to actually land them.
This has helped me get f/s boardslide stalls on a some curbs friends and I skate
Manual/pivots or occasional ollie to boardslide on a curb
-
I've been able to land on fakie tres for so long now, but tonight I figured out that if I think about squaring my shoulders and pointing my chest forward, as opposed to towards the direction the board spins in a tre flip, I'm actually able to land it without jumping off/being off balance right away. Helped my regular tres be a lot more consistent too.
Also got switch front boards on ledges

Fakie smith, like, fakie ollie switch frontside willy grind.. again, pop out mid. Landed a few that went from either meh to okay.. but regardless. I'm stoked.

I used to be better at fs flips than bs flips and now its the opposite. I can hardly land 1 in 10 frontside flips and so often I smack my ankle on my board and am just instantly over it.

I've moved a lot the last couple years and definitely felt like I plateaud at a point due to lack of spots and being busy with work/school. It didn't help that I lived in a rural area the last year and a half; there weren't smooth streets for doing flip tricks(or even cruising around for that matter) and a skatepark that was in shambles. That being said, I moved back home recently and have been slowly progressing again, which I'm hyped on. Besides not having spots (which can be tough from a motivation standpoint) I feel like you can get to a point where you just try to keep your old shit and it gets frustrating when you're not as consistent as you feel like you should be. We all have bad days and mixing it up with shit I never try on said days can help. Takes your mind off of, "but I should be able to do this" and puts it at, "wow, can't believe I got close to that" (if that makes any sense). Also, if you're looking for something to skate, you can always try and build something.
I threw fakie front shoves and fakie heel flips out there the other day and they worked out, hyped on that.

sw 50-50 180 out. it kinda happened by accident. i'm all the time fs halfcabbing out and i focused on the back truck to avoid fakie revert and turned into sw tailslide then just sat on it til i was riding regular. felt really good and if i can get more comfortable leaning back i could see doing sw 5-0 to tailslides in my old age. that was one of my favorite tricks in the 90s [regular stance].

switch 180 manual bs bigspin out, pretty hyped cos my wheely game sucks
nice one, i remember struggling to pull one out of my ass many years ago (2007 ?), i remember i was hyped too. getting a clean bigspin out of that position is actually surprisingly hard !
today i relearned nollie frontside lipslide 270's on ledges (hadn't even tried one since 2004), it's a weird looking one because you really do everything off the nose. then just before calling it a day, while messing around i realized i could do f/s lipslide to no-comply tailslide every try and eventually kickflipped out of one just to see if it was doable, and it wasn't pretty. left the spot wishing i had learned b/s smiths like ungzilla above just did instead.
step hop rad clips, i know instagram kids have been abusing them lately and all but body varials out of ledge stuff (especially lipslides) will always mostly remind me of armando barajas (brought up his name to an older dude i saw the other day who was doing nollie impossibles in the wild - he hadn't heard it in so long he was stoked !)

this weeks new learn was kickflip back tail. I am happy

you're right about that gism but i tend to come out of crooks fakie anyways unless off the end of a ledge.
so yesterday on a parking block i learned/landed a gang of switch blunt stalls to finger shove it [slob varial?] in.
i can't skate tranny and this isn't gonna work on a slide but maybe if i find a curb atop a bank?
like you're in sw blunt and you grab the tail and throw it like a sw fs shove it and meet up on the ground.

Well I watched some trick tip basically saying use a crack and practice just an Ollie and landing in a noseblunt position. Sounds silly but it's pretty much like a backside lip, but I put my front foot just behind my top bolts so it's on my nose when I lock in. Also, hearing someone describe it as a Ollie over to frontside noseslide made it make more sense to me.

Finally learned bs noseblunts, but only on a flatbar for now. Can't seem to translate it to a ledge yet. And tips for that?
no idea but if you figure out let me know, that trick scares the living shit out of me haha
Deffinetly not a expert since i've only done a few, but ollieing way higher than you think you should is key for me.
That and committing to trying it.
And wax.

Working on this on a tiny curb at the moment and agree with everything said here. My greatest fear is getting stuck and landing on my back on the edge and end of the curb.

Been messing around on round rails lately. Finally pulled off a front lip and front tail this past week. Thinking about stepping up to actual grinds soon...
-
Haven't learned anything new in a long time, but I finally learned switch no comply 360's yesterday. Felt pretty good about that one.
-
Last session : crooks shuv, and on tranny : layback grind, fakie lazy grind (name?), and frontside hurricane stall.
Sooo stoked!

Nollie backside 180 pivots on flat. Trying to see if I can get them to where I can pop em or just do a regular backside 180. I'm not very good :P

Full Cab Boardslide (kinda like a halfcab front board) on a small park flatbar. Such a rad feeling, but totally scary. I felt like i was exaggerated my wind-up so much, but it was working.
Anybody got tips for front threes? I have absolutely no idea how people do it. I always just do a big front 180, and hit the ground before I can finish rotating, so i'm basically just doing a jacked and stupid looking front 180. Is it all in the wind-up? Do you spin the whole 360 consistently, or do you do a front 180 and whip the rest of it later? Do you pivot? halp please

Try the FS 180's over another skateboard propped on it's side. From there you'll be popping them better. I never did a front three but I got decent at Front 180s to where I could do pretty big ones over stuff.
One thing I've done recently is to practice rotating on my board, stationary on grass. It gets me used to the feeling of being in control and balanced and landing the rotations (whether fakie, switch, whatever) then when I go to the street I am more comfortable for what's going to happen, instead of just hucking stuff.

semi consistent frontside flips thanks to a mike carroll line
-
landed 2 cab fs boardslides on doublesided curb today. i'd say it's a new trick i learned. i've been doing cab fs noseslide on curb for a while and the boardslide actually feels easier to slide [go figure, fs boardslides easier than fs noseslides.].
i think president reagan posted yrs ago that cab back lips were easier than cab fs boards and i don't know if that's his troll character or he believes that but i tried em to bs lip and the rotation is fun but there's no controlling it. never landed shit but end up in anything from 50-50 to bs nosesblunt.
but yeah, cab fs boardslide, take me to your flatbar!
-
boardslide popover on a DIY ledge made specifically to learn boardslide popovers.
don't skate harder, skater smarter.
cheers to gilliland in tempe for inspiration!

finally got my backside poweslides working pretty consistently thanks to all of SLAP's advice. don't really know if I could do them with any sort of actual speed like frontside ones but let's see...
my backside slappies are also a lot more consistent which feels great
-
Technically not new, but yesterday I switch ollied a 4 set and did a bs board slide 270 out on a down bar at the park

Hang your toes on your front foot a little bit off the board, put your back foot in
The pocket of the tail a lot like a front shove but a bit more pressure. Wind up, when you pop whip that shit around , I let my back foot do most of the work. Your front foot just guides it around. Hope this helps
-
Learned the lotti spin last night (bs 180 with a 360 body varial). Had no idea it was called that. Hyped as I know I will never land a bs 360.
-
I think he called it a spin out....
-
Learned switch fs slappy's, hyped on that one. Also got a fakie shuv switch 5050 yesterday. Kinda a weird trick but I was okay with doing one.
-
i learned sw wallie boardslides a few wks ago and last night i did a few bs nosemanuals. idk if it's a new trick per se but i've never tried that approach and it's a lot more awkward than straight on or fs nose manuals.
-
Did my first switch flip back tail to switch the other day, felt pretty awesome. I've done a decent amount of them to regular, but never could get myself to land switch.
-
Walljam fakie. Gonna try and take it 360 (180?) tomorrow. How can I do a regularass Wallie tho? First new thing I've tried since summer started, and it feels good
-
Kickflip back tail
Granted, it was a little donk of a back tail, but it felt so amazing. Felt like I actually had a little bit of tech game even though I can't nollie flip, haha. I can do pretty lengthy regular ol' back tails so my next goal is trying to slide the kickflip backtail a bit longer.
What's easier for you guys... Kickflip krooks or kickflip back tails? Personally, I'd go with the latter..
-
have been sticking back heelflips for a couple weeks, they dont quite make sense yet

Got front blunts down and figured out on the parking block outside of work, taking them to the local bowl is where I'm at now but can't fucking pop back in. Soon! Ledges next

Damn, this is the only way I can sometimes land them. Even without the flip in I find it almost impossible to land normal (the full 180). With regular bsts it used to be the exact opposite.
-
Got switch no-comply bigspin heels recently, can't stop doing them now
-
Did a couple switch fs bigspins tonight. They've never made sense to me in the past, but after over rotating a switch fs shove it just kinda clicked. Also did a back 3 with little/no revert so I'm super hyped about that. Whenever I try back 3s I just end up kinda bullshitting them around but once in a blue moon I'll get a good one.
-
got a flip bs crooked yesterday.
was going a little slow but none
theless i grinded decently long.
-
Switch hardflip, Takes me like 10 tries to land one. I can pop it but its HARD for me to flick and catch

It doesn't have a name but I got them down and their fun.
it's a fakie 270 powerslide to lock-in to BS powerslide then bring it back to regs...
Try them, it's all in the shoulders.
side note: I still can't ollie after blowing my ankle out six weeks ago, anyone got some healing tricks?

I only know that power slide from Kenny Anderson doing them downhill at that banked spot. It's a fun one.
Switch firecracker down four. Just stay in the pockets with my heels.

Frontside Tailslide Back Shove on transition. Always scared to commit for fear of shooting out, landed the 4th or 5th one I actually committed to.

Back disaster to sugarcane. Super fun if you switch it fast. I also did a back smith to fakie on a tiny ramp in the same vain you would do a pivot fakie and it felt bizarre.

I got a few of those fancy overturned backside disaster stalls, a couple 14-year-olds taught me. ???

I 've been skating daily after a a couple of years of once/twice a week and my push foot gets a bit arthritic now. So my new move is mongo pushing. I only do it half the time (when no one is looking) to give my push foot a bit of a break.

Fakie backside no complies (half cab comply?) - not popping great at this point but I think I’ll get em.

That trick is super fun going 360. If you do it on a bank it sorta just rotates itself.
I'm getting so close to having good switch front 3's. I've always been able to bullshit 'em from time to time, but every time I land on a good one I just lose balance.

Knocking on wood that it's not a fluke, but last session I was on I had these as well as back 3's down, which has always been a dream trick of mine to have semi consistent. Some of 'em were definite indoor park makes, but my buddy's insisted they were alright, so I'm taking it!
Also was goofing around on the mini and did 5-0 to back disaster. I feel like I saw Carroll do it once, but they're more fun than they sound.
-
Not consistent but landed a few decent looking Nollie inward heels a bit back. My knee is still too weak to pop em good enough to get a consistent flick though . Also been working on front side tail slide kick flip out but can’t figure out how the hell you get the flick out of it, any tips?

frontside halfcab to bs fifty on some shitty curb
nollie front 180 to ss fs fifty on same shitty curb
varial heels are starting to stick, never had done more than a handful over the years till now

Was out in the wild the other day n found a ledge which are like endangered species nowadays.
Did one 20 years ago and for some reason never tried another one since. First try fakie to switch fs crooks, grinded a bit of it, then popped the shit outta it to fakie an rolled away.
Tried to land another one for the next half hour, couldn't do it, then called it a day.
Never been able to nollie kickflip well or at all untill recently, past few sessions though I've been drunk off my ass an just threw em out like nothing in between other moves.
Would really like to noseblunt from the side of the ledge sometime before I die...
-
I would say fakie manny. I figured out the basics of it and have been working on a few different variations; front feeble to front board to fake manny out (sometimes to manny revert out) on curbs/tiny ledges, manny rock to fakie manny out on small not so steep banks...nose stall (soon to be nose slides) to fakie manny out on curbs...
-
multiple new learna at the park last night, nollie fronstside 5.0 back 180 out, fakie bigflip manny and back 3 kickys over a hip. stoked

Nollie bs bigspins. Super easy, but I never really popped them and caught them properly until a day or two ago.

learn the no comply/ step off version to get the wrap right? back in the day day dudes would even do the ollie version with their front foot right up above the front bolts to encourage more wrappage
-
Trying to learn impossibles, pretty much just did a bunch of 3 shuvs. Any tips on keeping your back foot on?
you're probably trying to pop and scoop when you really shouldn't think of the trick as a pop shove-it styled move. start with your back foot across the entire width of the tail, perpendicular to the board - by all means, not like you would for a 360 flip or 360 shove. front foot goes wherever you'll be able to get it out of the way easily. then you have to build some pressure then take your front foot off like you would for a no-comply except instead of sliding your foot off and putting it down, you suck your front knee up and lift your foot straight upward - literally in a vertical motion, no ankle flick like you might be tempted to do if you're used to 360 flips, keep your foot flat and just lift your leg up. ollie impossible term is a bit misleading because I wouldn't say you actually ollie for that trick, you just jump like you would for a pressure flip. back foot pops straight down and does not swipe sideways, or at least not until you can feel the board getting upside down on your foot and even then you should focus on trying to achieve a vertical motion. as soon as you can feel the board on your toes just suck your back foot up (so it almost meets your front foot) and with the right timing the board should complete the wrap. if you face the direction you're going before you pop (with open shoulders) and don't move your upper body then you should be able to stay over the board and catch it easily. hope this helps

Got a couple kickflip back disasters on the 'mini' mini a couple days ago, pretty happy about that but still have to take it to something bigger, maybe time for a trip to the testicle shop.

Been a while since anyone posted on this thread but yesterday I learned fakie front 5-0 front shove out. Didn't take too long so I'm hyped on that. I also landed two nollie front 3s which I've been trying to get more consistent with.

sw barley grind b/s 180 out and a few other variations. super fun, maybe kind of gross ? I was trying to hold them and do them with a good pose fully extending the front leg all the while leaning back over the truck, so it's not exactly like sw boardslide 270 out. it works a lot like sw 180 manny 180 out. b/s 360 out would look crazy. I wonder how many people have done halfcab into that trick before, probably a lot

I did a switch nose manny across a long manual pad the other week. I had done a fakie Ollie into one years ago but never just gone straight up switch and it was kind of a tall curb too. Needless to say, made it and was like yay now I can do these this will be fun and tried it on a shorter manual pad and clipped and stumbled and fell off onto my shoulder like an idiot. Going to stay in the realm of longer surface areas for that one from now on.
Also same sesh as the make of the switch nasal I did a front side nosemanualwallride thing to nollie front shove out. Sadly on camera it looked kinda blurry and everyone thought it was just a shove it where I kinda landed on the wall or something
-
kickflip front blunt on a little flat bar first try. That never happens. Had to do "two to make it true" and landed another a couple tries later, only to try and film a third one that took much too long.

The yankout feels so cool once you figure it out. I kept yanking on it while boardsliding but with no result, until I realized and made myself focus on jumping at the same time as I was yanking did it work. Don't know how you're gonna do it grabbing melon though.

Finally getting a hang of front slappies. They've always been alien to me but I've done a few of them my last couple sessions and I'm really happy about it.

I can nollie bigpsin out of nose mannies no problem, however, to switch manny... my switch manny game just ain't there. Maybe one day. It's not like I've never tried, it's just so damn hard and the beer gut ain't helping.
I can no comply manny, but once the manny is locked in, I have trouble doing anything out. I've kickflipped out and snapped my tail trying to impossible out, but that's about it. Once i'm in better shape, I'll try it again.

how do your trucks not slip when popping/scooping? i can get back 180 out, but putting in more force for the bigspin makes the back truck shift away and the tail misses the ledge

need to get away from industry drama for a few mins:
- frontside powerslide to slappy tailslide (inspired by KA's backside version in purple). I can lock into them so I just need to add some more speed to get things sliding
- back 180 to switch 5050 on curbs. I don't fully slappie them but I'm not exactly ollieing onto the curb either, kinda just whipping them around
- front nose 270 gazelle out ala Shane Heyl. Fun little curb trick to do and I already loved nollie back 3s so...
- switch k-grinds to fakie on (tiny) ledges. had them years ago so not new, per se, but stoked to have them somewhat back in the bag

Nice! All of those tricks sound fun as hell. I need to work on ledge tricks but I’m really not that confident on ones that aren’t like beside a window or near a wall. No idea why but the best tricks I’ve done on ledges have always been in spots like that.
Last new trick I learned was Nollie bigspin heelflips, they feel so natural so much so that I’m thinking about extending the natural motion and learning that appleyard 360 bigspin heel version.
-
i accidentally done a 5050 nosemanny front lip to fakie and i am not proud of that fact
-
At this point in my life there is no learning "new" tricks it's just spending hours try to re-learn tricks I once had
-
Bs nosepick yank-ins on small trannies, and proper fs smith grinds

cheers, do take into account I turn 40 this year so none of these tricks are done with much speed or finesse, but yes, they are fun and that's all that really matters these days. I get the whole ledge next to a wall thing too, the one I (re)learned my switch crooks has a big pillar behind it which makes them easier, at least mentally. If ledge tricks are your kryptonite, flips tricks are mine at this age. I can't even fathom how you could get a nollie big spin heel flip to even start to pop...
-
Use to be when I'd learn a fs shuv if I tried bigspins it'd flip over and hurt my foot,which leads me to learning bigspin never could get my head around how to spin it with a helicopter Chico Brenes steez but it's all about that weird corner pocket and jumping high enough to where the board slaps under your front foot.
-
halfcab 5-0 and ya don't stop!
i also learned nollie nosegrind about a wk ago.
we built a tiny 'learner ledge' at our DIY and progression ensues.
-
Finally getting a hang of front slappies. They've always been alien to me but I've done a few of them my last couple sessions and I'm really happy about it.
I remember watching Jason Adams in Label Kills and rewinding the vhs over and over to try to figure out how he got onto those curbs. I think those were the first ones I had ever seen and it looked like magic. Such a cool fucking trick.
-
my backside ones are suffering but I landed 3 or so frontside ones yesterday. switch front tails on curbs are also making some sense to my old body...
-
On the bank to ledge (the bookshelf) at the park I’ve always been able to do flip fs 5050 and 5-0, and pretty decent at switch fs 5050s, as soon as my 29 year old frame gets a more consistent switch flip I’m gonna do one into a switch 5050.
Last new trick was bs 180 5050 half cab. Yes it was on a curb on a hot summers night and I was goddamm stoked.

learned this one the other day. easiest way to say it? ive been going with front nollie switch crook

Rad, keep at it.. I got into this by accident just playing around with nollie tailslides, itas basically the same movement if that helps at all?
-
180 nollie sw crooks is super fun, one of my favorites. if you're confident in your sw crooked grind then it's basically the same thing just with a different approach. you over turn, make sure your truck goes over the edge and pray that you lock in just right, at least that's the stage I'm at...
recently I've been having a lot of fun with switch 360 flips that I just relearned earlier this month, and I just got back nollie backside flips on flatground after not even trying one in over ten years, just because of Shin Okada's in this that stoked me out:

Love that trick but sadly I'll never try it again. I broke my ankle/leg on one I got into tailslide foot slipped off ankle rolled and I sat straight down on my leg. Hate injuries

i landed a few on a tiny curb today after coming close in 2000-2001 and not really trying em for a really long time.
i'll get to everything on my own time.

relearned fakie back heels, but more importantly been really focusing on keeping my arms under control while doing tricks and hills lately.

Last trick had Tim Jackson written all over it. Looks good.

Learned 2 today after going a while without any.
First one was boardslide frontside 270 pop out on a double sided ledge. Was trying to pop out to fakie and overdid it and rolled away regular. Figured I’d try again to see if it was a fluke, and did it again.
The next one was fakie ollie to switch frontside crook. Felt like a fucking badass doing it, its a classic one.
-
Just today skating the bank to ledge at the park learnt a few different tricks.
Was watching a bunch of Matt Bennet parts before going skating and ended up doing a fakie fs 5-0 across 3/4sof the ledge and pop fakie fs 180 out and roll down the bank regular. So excited from that one, the trick felt so good and is certainly the most difficult thing I think I’ve ever done. Next time I’m going to pop back to fakie so it’s a full straight on trick.
:-*
Also got some stalk tricks. Some more complex than others but the above and below tricks led to me having a fucking excellent day skating
Fakie tail stalk flip out.
Fakie pivot pop out to fakie
Bs 5-0 stall too.

Ooh I gotta try that. I was trying lip front 270 and switch board 270 on the little manny pad at the courthouse fountain the other day and got pretty close. That’s the perfect ledge for all those late 2000s ledge slide era weirdness.

FS slappy feeble on a curb.

wallie to nosegrind. at our spot we've got a mobile 'wallie' [idk what else to call it] and i brought it next to a ledge for 50-50 in a line and since i'd done it w/oiut the line a few wks ago it wasn't too hard, i battled it to nosegrind.
i did one or 2 that tapped my tail on the way out and a clean nosewheelie but basically i'm calling it a new trick. got dark so i didn't film a good one but i will tomorrow.
wish i had fs wallies so i could maneuver into bs ledge tricks w/ them. maybe some day?

I've never done one all the way around on a bank, but used to be able to kinda cheat em on hips lol, thanks for the reminder.

Bigspin front blunt on flatbars.
Was one of those things I felt like I could do but wasn't sure, then ended up being a lot easier than I had expected.
-
Learned heelflip front noseslide to fakie the other day and landed a fakie frontside crooked grind on a fluke while trying fakie back tail. Also, front tail front shuv out. All of which took an excruciatingly long amount of time to land.
It has been a good week.

I go up a mellow bank backwards. When I start to roll down do a back 360 ollie.

heard a bunch of shit for that, usually fakie disaster, rock/pop rock, hangup etc. fun when you can pop them high and also easy to learn fakie flips on tranny from that
-
Front smith pop over on round bars, shits hard to find that spot
-
I've had this trick in mind for quite awhile but haven't found the right spine to try it on, but I did a fakie smith transfer to fakie. So basically you get into a fakie smith and then go over as if you were doing a feeble fakie on the other side.
I also did a switch 180 manny on a small pad the other day. Pretty rudimentary trick, but I suck at manuals and never really tried them, so I'm hyped.

I'm starting to learn mini ramp backside ollies. -Super fun

I learned how to kick flip a 10-inch Auby Taylor hammer head

Back heels. I may have already had em 10 years ago I can’t remember but it’s new to me now.
Learned back feebles on banks. They look terrible so far.

Switch No Comply 180's last night, and I hate no comply's.
Learned them to spite everyone.
-
Took me about 15 years to start like skating transition and now this past week I think I have finally got it how skate it.. Feels pretty cool.. Never done a 5-0 to fakie in tranny and just one day I figured how you have to lock in on everything and now all of a sudden I can do them in any stance and also the same goes for nosegrinds/crookeds too..
Skating is so weird, you have never done something but when you try it and do it you think why have I never done this before because it felt so easy..
-

So true. It almost bums me out when I think about it.
-
It shouldn't bum you out; it should get you stoked and encourage you to keep trying new things and thinking of new things to try, if anything. Technically you can do whatever you want on a skateboard, the only condition is you just have to actually try it first, see how it works and then figure it out. It keeps hitting me how humans in general tend to be so lazy as far as going through the process of actually materializing their ideas; a lot of them have very brillant thoughts, but besides talking about them they most often never really do shit and it all remains just talk forever. Skateboarding is no exception and the more I grow up, the more I realize how much of a limited and precious window of time skating is in our lives, so we need to exploit that time to its fullest while it lasts because you don't want to turn into that old guy with regrets about tricks they never actually made the effort to materialize, and only ever talked about. Whenever you get a new trick idea, it's quite motivating to realize nobody else is going to do it for you or make it look like the way you picture it, so if you really want to see it you're going to have to get off your ass and do it yourself. Then that's when you love it when shit comes easy. At least that's the way I approach it.

No no, you're totally right. I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but I just started skating switch at 35. When I say it almost bums me out, I just mean that I wish I would have tried it sooner. Overall, it feels great and I am very hyped that I am still able to progress.
-
Ah yes I got you. But still, the 'I wish I had tried it sooner' line is exactly what I'm working on trying to avoid myself. I used to catch myself feeling like this a lot, being pleasantly surprised every time I actually battled that thought process and eventually I realized I could just fucking fight it all the time. It's super rad you're finally figuring switch out because you deserve to experience it as it's a lot of fun. I'm merely just commenting on how everything one can think of doing on a skateboard can happen just as easily; in reality there's no time to waste not trying shit. In skateboarding, words are dead ideas. I think it's a form of maturity to develop in order to progress (if you're trying to push your skating) and the thought of how limited the part of your lifetime that is skate time is I find adds to the rush, and gives you new perspectives on why you should do your trick and makes you want it a lot more. Just stuff I like pondering.

This is so on point! You never know what there is if don't search and try! Goes for everything else too.. I was living inside of my head for a good part of the past two years and none of my big ideas didn't materialize because of it and now I changed my point of view to be more active and to try things even if they fail and I couldn't be more happy!

front crooks, pop out to regular! super stoked on dialing these in in the coming weeks.

This old dog can still learn new tricks. Don't know the name though, friend said it's called nose blink. Is that right? So you go to the block and bash your nose then pop on top of the block in one fluid motion. Since I learned the mechanics of that, I also learned noseslide to crooked grind and nose to boardslide to fakie. Next one I'm working on is FS nose to FS 50-50.

I hadn't even tried one in forever and it turned out I could still do them. probably the only flip into slide trick I still have (now back) in the bag, it's a great feeling

at my local skatepark. it's kinda funny to do

I took a smaller dose of e today and went to the park and it was too crowded to cruise around so i tried to front board the hubba. I've always wanted to do that trick on a park hubba but i never had the gumption and had since decided that I was too old anyway. But today I got like 5 tries in and then i landed a good one. Nothin to it but to do it
-
idk if theres a name for it but that ollie land nollie pivot and shove off it thing, did a half cab into that. not really great by any means but it feels good and its a random one to pull out in games of skate

always eluded me but watched some Kenny Anderson clips and finally got manual back 180, felt really damn cool

switch 360 flip, defensive in a game of skate.

After trying them and slipping out on a portable rail probably 30 years ago, I finally decided it was time to get over the mental block and learned cab to bs boardslide.

I nollie heel'd a hip last night, total accident, happened first try, ill never try it again = 100% success rate.

Find ones that are poly coated and smaller links. Get a couple attempts on it and it starts to morph into a pocket shape, kinda like a mini cradle. It throws you out too as it bounces, which is waaaay too much fun.

yo I do those too, once you start thinking of them as overturned, exaggerated switch boardslides coming from the right angle and with the right wind up they become so easy and fun. Pabst isn't wrong about b/s 360 out, I've been doing it with b/s 180 out a lot (it's pretty easy too, basically the same motion as sw 180 manny b/s 180 because you're sitting on the back foot) at a spot with slippery ground and every time I'd try to get a good one with a poor attempt at some kind of pop out it would just overturn and throw me into b/s 360, never landed it but the motion isn't as far-fetched as the name of the trick makes it sounds like. I'm sure you could start trying them already (b/s 180 then try to exaggerate it) and you'll be surprised.
-
a bunch of random ones i've clung onto lately
bs flips fairly consistently
tres reg/fakie fairly consistently
nollie bs bigspin/3shuv (very worst trick but someone done it to me in a game of skate so i had to get em)
bs half cab flips fairly well and full cabs on occasion
back 3 no complies but they come and go
that one fakie pop shove switch 180 no comply jerome did in a polar vid years ago
got a half cab manny back 180 on a decent pad
been trying wallie 180s but no dice, closest i get is just a 90' wallie
stepping away from skating tranny for a minute was definitely good for me.

Shit, props! Any of those tricks is impressive, whether you’ve done them before or not.
Just this weekend I landed my first / learnt a trick I had in mind for ages on a bank to ledge ; approaching fs but fakie, fakie flip switch fs 5050, I did a little bs fakie ollie out of it back into the bank too for added flava flav. Not a trick I’ve seen done very often if at all and I’m still buzzing from landing it on Saturday.
Asides from that I got a few coping / stall tricks, footplant fakie, fs sweeper, blunt one foot then nosegrab out. Fun day of skating.
-
Backside blunt-slide front shove to fakie (on a bank)
Feels easier/safer than straight blunt slide to fakie...
-
Hardflip, landed a few but not consistent at all yet. Easier on a flatbank for some reason?
-
Super noob trick - Nollie front 50 Nose180 kickturn out: did it first try the first time I’ve ever tried it tho.
-
Backside blunt-slide front shove to fakie (on a bank)
Feels easier/safer than straight blunt slide to fakie...
I really want to learn that now, sounds like so much fun. Makes me think of late Austin Stephens.
-
Hurricanes on a ledge. Front 50 50 back 180 out , of the end.
-
flatground treflip with a pole
-
what, like a walking stick?
-
nah i saw that matt t from fancylad do it, basically like a double shuv but around 270 it hits the pole and does the rest

-
Regular hardflips.
-
Sw Inward heel, sw backside heel, sw frontside heel. All in one day. havent done any since that day... so was it really learned? who fuggin cares

DAMN, comment made me this he had died!
just retired... Rad style that guy had
In the spirit of the thread, i quit drinking for a bit around 3 years ago and learnt bigflips, last real progression.
Aside from that every skate these days is an effort to re-learn lost tricks
-
had a good skate on Tuesday, got a switch biggy manual and half cab flip manual back 180 out. never been a tech guy so felt good rolling away from those
-
Half cabs on a quarter
-
The last flat trick I learned is fakie varial heel, it's a really funny one, it was more than a year ago though.
-
I just learnt fake ollie big spins on the quarter pipe too. Its all slippery indoor tho so it's easier. Skating in the middle of the night.
-
relearnt nollie b/s heels, they take a weird foot placement for me to get them right but they're there
-
I relearned front board to switch bs 5 0s. They're the funnest trick and you don't need jump high to do them which I like.
-
i've always had this odd fear of fs tricks on tranny owing to when i first tried to learn fs 5050s and hung up going in, so everytime id do front 5050, 5-0 etc i'd take it to tail instead. found this mellow quarter and somewhat learned proper fs 5-0s and yanking 5050s in. was fucking around the other day and figured out the motion to bring fakie smiths back in and then from that learned to go back in properly on front 5050s, 5-0s and feebles along with those but in fakie, fakie smith 270, alley oop grinded fakie fs 5050s? and then nearly folded my ankle somehow trying to 270 in from that. hit the park again today and learned what i guess is fakie fs hurricane? pretty hyped it's nice to see some progression.
-
After 15 years, finally learn BS 180, and I got them real stylish
-
Alley oop big spin on a bank.
-
Bs krook nollie fs shuv out. Pretty wack trick haha.
-
I landed an insanely ugly impossible today. Never landed another the entire time I was skating today but I’m stoked. Just need to tweak some things I just don’t know what.
-
FS Noseslide to regs and fakie 5050 out to switch are my most recent ledge tricks, also got tres on flat
-
Late heels
-
Nollie shuv late v heel. Looks like nollie laser flip and it basically is.
-
fs 180 fakie nosegrind? I call it to switch 5-0, to 180 out. like a fs 360. I slid the last 90 degrees and didnt roll away, just stood there, but it counts for me. Its a land.
-
i landed a nollie flip today
-
back d to fs smith and i got fakie hurricanes better, sloppy af but still hyped :D

-
Relearned front 50 back 180 out on the weekend. That was fun.
-
i learned fakie bs tail reverts in the AM and then fakie fs smith reverts in the PM, its funny how learning one trick unlocks another.
-
I only learn tricks that are listed in Ugliest Tricks threads. I've done other stuff into tailslide then did this out, but I think it is the first time I ollied into it. If you'd like to learn more my autobiography is available in an airport bookstore near you.

pregrab finger flip. lol
-
3 flips incase i go to cali anytime soon
-
3 straight catches on my cup and ball game incase I too go to Cali anytime soon.
-
Landed 3 switch 360 flips yesterday son! 8) holy shit it took fucking forever tho
-
Pretzel 270s, nollie flips, and nollie heels out of bs noseslides all within the past few months. So glad noseslides are cool right now because they're all I've been doing.
-
I know its dumb but i learned how to backside ollie a hip at the local skatepark yesterday. I did it 5 or so times, while its not pretty-- its locked in. I was so pumped on it. Ollieing into steep (for me) transition terrifies me. shout out to the dude from kinetic skate shop who was randomly in town last night for helping me through it. if any of you are in Delaware give that guy your support. hes good people.

I still have not worked out how to Ollie on tranny, fs or bs it doesn't make a difference to how inept I am with them. I can do little airs when doing fs and bs disasters but not at all in the transition if you get me, so props and any tips would be Most Shalom.
Any transition terrifies me to this day- I think from having not grown up with any easily accessible to me. Having said all that i have learnt a few tricks on a 3/4 foot quarter in a newish indoor park in my town. Lots of basic coping tricks and some that I'm still hyped about; fakie bs pivot/crook stall to rock (fs and bs), fakie bigspin fs 5-0 stall, pivot to rock, switch fs grinds, 180 to switch 5050. I'm sure I'm naming some of these wrong but hey.
i landed a nollie flip today
Still the bane of my straight 8. Kudos!
-
Don’t touch my phone!!! Fuck
-
fakie 5050 bs bigspin out
not great as it was off the end of the ledge but its just nice to feel yourself progressing.

i'm not great at airs in general but it's generally easier on steeper tranny as it tends to shoot you up more than it does out as you'd get with a mellow transition.
-
I learned fakie front smith stall backside halfcab to back feeble fakie, that was weird one.
Also recently committed to frontside tailslide front shove & fakie 270 back feeble grind F/S 270 back in (the one Ben Nordberg does) on a 3' quarter. Both felt really good riding away.
-
Helped my girlfriend learn fakie bigspins last night and we were both pumped.

re-learned fakieflip to front tailslide last week, shit is so fun

That trick was in the top 10 slams for me. Brutal.

fakie heels that could clear an entire match stick

That is awesome. Of all the off the nose to slide on the nose variations (yeah, yeah it's not the nose, you know what I mean), that one has always been my favorite for some reason.
-
nothing spectacular but this felt so good. first no comply on transition. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwSw4fUFE29/
-
No comply flip body varial revert on a parking block. I gave them switch too. Both are barley tricks to me.
Ooo I got switch front 3 on the bank no pivot too. That’s a real trick
-
Got BS Heel couple days ago, weirdly they are the easiest flip/180 combo for me
-
740 quindruple flip
-
nollie inward heels finally happened
-
pivot fakie & back tail revert
-
Finally learned f/s axle stalls today, fuck that felt good. I know it's a basic trick, and I'm skateboard-old so I should already have it, but I just never got around to learning it (starting skating transition late, limited time due to responsibilities).
Was going on solo morning missions to reel it in, finally happened today. It's funny because it was a small quarterpipe but my heart was pumping as I got closer and closer. Even the small shit can break you as we all know, so it took awhile to commit to keeping my back foot on. Learning tricks is still such an uplifting experience. Hope you're all getting some.
-
Who has the secrets to BS Noseblunt?
-
bs nosegrind bs shuv out, proper fs flips
-
Was messing around between classes and learned those weird 1 footed shuvs and a weird power slide no comply thing, as inspired by Leo Valls
-
noseslide transfer on double-sided curb. Super random, wasn't even planning on trying it at all :D
-
Last week I did a full-cab flip for the first time in years. Felt pretty good about that.
I also tried doing one of those curb things where you drop off into a manual and pop up the other side of the road, but then I realized I can't really pop out of manuals that well. Any tips?
-
I'll be completely honest and state that the newest thing I learned was to ollie higher and up stuff better. Skated this new spot right down the street from my house; brand new loading dock with a long yellow ledge. It could also be skated as a manual pad. My good friend did a ride on FS 50-50 and popped out to a five foot drop.
-
I learned back 180 fakie 5-0s and I think I can do one back to regular.

You just need to be comfortable enough on the manual that you can pretend you're on all four wheels when you're really not, and pop out (or up the next thing) doing just that. With practice it'll eventually stop mattering altogether whether you are on two or four wheels prior to popping up the curbs. Also works for nollies out of nosewheelies. Keep movement to a minimum and try to use your arms as little as possible.
-
full cabs off the side of a wide bank ramp to flat -never did that b4.
-
FS Slappy. Don't got them consistent yet.
-
do no comply variations count?
-
Learned f/s axle grinds on transition today. I refuse to call them f/s 5050s.
Took me forever to learn this very basic trick that any 8-year-old can do, but hey, now I've got it. Watching YouTube videos of men in their 40s holding onto straps or fences to build up the courage to pop into the transition frontside really gave me the drive I needed.
No but seriously, I finally learned f/s axle stalls not too long ago and it was a battle to practice them and "keep" them in my memory, but they're there now so grinding came pretty easily. Can't wait to grind them longer and faster.
Want to learn feeble fakies next if anyone has any tips.
Edit: Also relearned nollie flips the other day after like twelve years of not doing one. But they're so inconsistent that I was reminded why I lost them in the first place, I just grew bored of jumping around on flat all the time.
-

Point your front foot and lean back a little bit. It'll be scary at first but they'll totally become second nature. :D
-
Learned front 180 sw crooks on ledges and re learned front crail 360.
-
Frontside bigspin and Smith without going to fakie. The Smith to regular I've been trying to do for literally 15 years.
-
Slappies! Great feeling.
-
I got switch bs 180 this week but they’re fucking ugly. I want switch tre. Everyone I grew up with who still skates got a switch tre.

i know this is a late reply but honestly it was the exact same shit for me with fs axle stalls. i remember trying to learn them years ago and ate shit coming in and from that i just never learned how to do them, so if i done a fs 5050, 5-0 etc i'd have to take it to tail and then in. i learned fs 5050 grab ins before doing them normally ;D what unlocked it for me was doing a fakie smith stall, i could do them kinda grinded but never stalled. one day i figured it out and thought "hey coming back in from that wasn't that bad", went back up fakie again and done the 5050 in, then back up and done the regular front 5050. still not super great at them and id prefer a back 5050 any day but it feels good getting a decently grinded frontside trick.
anyway randomly done fs 5-0 to no comply tailslide yday, bit of a circusy one but it feels nice.

Polejam bs 360

finally landed a back tail big spin and not end up rolling back the way i came.

- Mentioned frontside powerslide to tail slide slappies a few pages back, left them alone for a while but now I can lock into them pretty consistently.
- started trying back no comply to tailslides on a tiny ledge and reckon I could get them down once I get my timing right!
- started trying to learn full cabs at 40 years old. I’ve always been a half caber but after playing around with some 360 slide variations I figured I could probably do them if I tried. I can fakie backside Ollie to like 200 degrees and then do a big cheater revert but is there any tips to whipping them around faster while you’re still airborne? I’d like to at least get to 270 before reverting ....

Wtf happened to Olson? (Edit I mean his emo to fresh kit switch) Chad and Steve were rad but shortys was dog shit.

Been on a bit of a mark baines binge recently, got me hyped to learn nollie 180 sw crooks. First time trying it did one within 10 tries and now I probably get one every couple hours, funny how it be like that.

I tried a few of these at the park yesterday, I think the ledge I was trying it on had a weird angle. I gave up after a few tries. Still on my bucket list for this summer.

I almost learned front disaster to smith last night. I think there was one where I technically did it but it wasn’t locked very well. I can do back disaster to sugarcane but that direction in general feels more comfortable to me.
-
I finally psyched myself up and committed to front side half cab to front board on a flat bar, I landed one to regular and one back to fakie, very excited about it!

hard trick, I can do the nollie version (nollie back lip) though. Actually, come to think of it I’ve beem getting pretty good at fakie front noseslides on a small curb lately and funnily enough I have to think of them as switch nollie back tails which is ridiculous but it helps line up my shoulder properly 🤔
-
After many hip/knee/back issues and about a 4 year break, I'm finally back to skating pretty frequently.
I'm literally having to re-learn just about every trick that I used to do.
It's very frustrating to continuously fail on tricks that I used to be able to do 90% of the time.
-
nollie front lip, sw slappy nose 180 to front nose and i guess fakie hurricanes
-
Fakie heelflip.
Total fluke and not sure if I should even do them. I was planning to do a fakie kickflip in a line but my feet positioning kept being set up for heelflip so I started throwing those out. Apparently I can do them. 🤷🏾♂️
-
Fakie heelflip.
Haha, I came here to post the same thing; re-learned them the other day. Don't even know what sparked it but I decided to throw a few out there and it just clicked.

learn how to pivot on your nose wheels vs a 4 wheel slide. makes it less cheaty and more fluid. then over time, your body has muscle memory to whip around 360 and you'll just start landing them fully spun by repetition.
-
Regular front bigspin. Even worse (more pivoted) than I can do switch.

nosegrinds on tranny

Also, aim your pop ahead of yourself slightly. Dont have the pop right, right under you. My front foot comes off when i do them.
-
^ Also if you have solid backside ollies on flatground (of the late kind; ollie then turn), then cabs also become super easy on flat if you just think of breaking down the rotation in quarters of a turn, mentally. Imagine riding fakie, essentially already kickturning 90 degrees ('ahead of yourself slightly' as givecigs said) into a backside ollie (that you pop and jump with) and then you should be 90 degrees short of landing which you can compensate for similarly to however you usually minimize the occasional underrotation on backside ollies on flat. In general, flatground tricks become stupid easy once the logic clicks that it's basically all translations.
Last trick I learned was switch f/s nosegrind f/s shove on a park box, I've done sw nosegrind reverts the easy way forever but I would like to get proper switch nosegrinds that grind and pop out straight. Shove out is the first step, feels good to do but a bit too much like a five-o shove perhaps (and the similarities have to be why sw nosegrind shove is so attainable).

they're a weird one to figure out for sure. I find you gotta curve into the ledge and get really close to it and then pop as you start to curve away from it. If you're too far away you just end up slapping the ledge with your tail, you really gotta get up in its grill.

back smiths on a ledge, probably the most satisfying trick ive ever learnt and one im most hyped on

Also helps to think of really getting at the top of the ledge with your weight well over the truck, the nollie tailslide bonk thing also seems to happen when underestimating the height of the ledge, or forgetting to actually get on top of its edge in proper (hopefully locked in) sw crooked grind position. I don't do that trick much so I lose it all the time but whenever I feel like getting it back I just do a lot of switch crooked grinds just to get used to how locking in feels again. Then it's essentially kickturning off the nose into that position off the pop of a nollie. The least you approach it like a nollie tail, the best that trick seems to work.

Front blunt on a quarter. Got it before I turned 44, so that was nice.

awesome, thanks boys, it's rainy season at the moment so I haven't practiced them too much but I had a quick roll yesterday and was playing with them...
in other news (and sort of related to full cabs), I randomly tried to chuck out a switch frontside 360 ollie yesterday and I actually pivoted around and landed a few. Guess it kinda makes sense because I've been able to do backside 360 nollies since I was in my early teens...

Rick flips. Gotta make em consistent though.

Since I can’t flip my board for shit what should I learn next? I got fs and bs half cabs, fs 180 (those used to be on lock but since I’ve been skating smaller wheels they suck) fakie Ollie, and Ollie. Where should I move on to next? Lately I’ve just been skating hills cuz it’s fun and easy so I just powerslide a lot.

I got fs and bs half cabs, fs 180 (those used to be on lock but since I’ve been skating smaller wheels they suck) fakie Ollie, and Ollie. Where should I move on to next? Lately I’ve just been skating hills cuz it’s fun and easy so I just powerslide a lot.
get 180s and shoves all stances, fakie full cabs and bigspins are some of the first tricks i learned.
all 4 ollies, all 8 180s and all 8 shuv its . and be sure to have fun 😁
drop into a reasonably sized ramp, like chest high at least, learn tailtap, rock to fakie and axle stall.

Working on a really solid nollie. Nollie 180’s are popping in my mind and I want to do them but figure I want to learn my nollies better.
-
Been trying to knock out as many flat ground tricks as I can in my free time, nollie and switch hard flips are killing me.
-
fs 180 (or alley oop) to switch fs crook on a steep bank. It's a bit too much/circusy, and rather do fakie fs crooks or just alley-oop fakie 5.0 but it was fun to try

Front blunt on a quarter. Got it before I turned 44, so that was nice.
I recently got blunt to fakies on quarters. For the past month, I've been trying them on every higher and steeper quarter pipe I can find to get them on lock. I'm thinking of trying the front blunt or nose blunt as my next tricks. I never thought I would say this but I'm getting sick of blunts.
I mostly skate transition and have a handful of blunt variations (including blunt to pivot to fakie) but I am still terrified of blunt fakies. I kinda wish I had some of those people with the big mats that help people train for the loop for me to full commit to a blunt fakie.

I did it first on a tiny 1 foot tall quarter pipe to commit. It still felt really weird and freaky at first, and it probably took me like 40 tries before I finally committed to one without taking off my back foot. Once you can get yourself to fully commit, it's money. Now I got them on lock on mellow chest high quarter pipes. It is a very satisfying trick and landing it for the first time felt like I reached some sort of pinnacle in skating. It felt like all my hours spent skating and trying to get better really paid off. I'm still pretty stoked on it.
I did the same. First on very small tranny and gradually moved up. Still can’t get myself to do it the usual way ie small ollie and manual out, I have to ollie straight into the tranny. I have absolutely no consistency with it either. This trick sucks monkey dick. I hate it. Bs blunt is easy tho.

yeah man all of these look sick when done right, big ups. i don't get the nollie tailslide/lip hate. it might be easier, but can still look just as good when done proper.
exactly! I'm a fan of both nollie front/ back tails too
I don't get the hate, not everyone has a super deep pocket of tricks, when you are at a spot, just throw shit out, it's about doing/landing the trick.
Last trick for me was a F/S half-cab heel; I'm super close to full cab now, but I can tell they are ugly AF.

just learned fakie ollie to switch back crooks, as well as re-learned fakie flip to front tailslide, haven't done that one in a year or so. The goal is to learn fakie flip crooks next.
Also learned back 180 to switch front crooks a couple of days ago. I get smoked way less on this one compared to fs 180 to switch back crooks which is a relief considering how many times i've gone into front lip and eaten shit trying a front 1 switch crooks

When you pop, you push the board in front of you a tiny bit so when you level it out it stays under you.

True true.
I’m not good, near that in mind:
Learned em before noses were substantial by bonking them off of cracks (still fave trick) or speed bumps. That practice gives you the motion of poking them out in front of you. My nollie feels much safer, compact, and attached than an Ollie these days, which is sad

learned proper bs ollies in transition today after a mere 20 years of skating. i would do those lame ass slightly popped kickturns before. figured out how to float em today, stooooooked. i also almost landed a sw fs flip over a pyra hip. maybe next time.

It's a really fun trick. To regular has always been the easiest to me as opposed to doing them to fakie, the difference is just look over your front shoulder instead of down on your feet I guess. Switch frontside noseslides are also a very underrated fun trick most people seem to have ditched for some reason (that or I don't watch the right stuff).
Also are nollie frontside noseslides ten times easier and less scary than their backside counterpart to anyone else? People always give me that look when I mention that, but that's how they've always felt to me. Backside I feel like I'm just going to miss the top and destroy my ankle whenever the ledge is too high (I need to learn to trust that nollie motion more).

I used to think that too and would never do them, and then I saw Dom Henry do them. Rob Welsh-styled pop outs and everything, making it look like a different trick altogether. So I started trying them like that, never quite got the hang of it and now can say I officially grew older because of Dom Henry.

Feeble rock fakie on a qp. Took me like a week of going early in the morning to the skatepark. The park is next to a dilapidated building with sketchy tenants who stumble around outside. Plus, it's apparently developed a bee problem. There are bees everywhere and they follow you. It sucks.
I know it's an easy-ass trick that kids can do in their sleep. But for some reason, I couldn't get my body positioned to roll out of the rock fakie after dropping into it from a feeble stall (which also took forever). I'd practice feeble stalls and decked-out rock fakies, then totally lose all that muscle memory. My back foot would always come off, it's such a bitch.
Of course today, as soon as I got to the park, four more duders came like five minutes after me. And of course everyone was ripping. It's a pretty small park and there's seven of us in it. So I'm trying to learn this trick - and it's all I'm trying since I don't want to waste time, because I have adult responsibilities to attend to - and everyone's flying around me, I'm trying not to get in anyone's way, I take a hard slam when I hit a fucking pebble, and then it finally happens. So I did three of them, then I dipped. I'm happy, though. It's finally in the books.

Call it baby's first tech trick, but I did a switch 180 manny back 180 today. Never done one before.

Not even sure what you'd call it, but I learned to fly out and manual on the platform to roll-in on transition. I've always been bad at tranny, but I live near a Grindline park now and I'm getting into it.

Slappy noseslide. It was...easy. The hard thing is going to be doing them with speed and sliding them a good distance. Hopefully I can film a line with one before the end of the month.

got my first ever 3flip going at on ok-ish speed w/out toe/heel/tail drag or hand touch today.
first time i've put an actual effort into learning it in 15 years and i got in about 40 minutes.
just had to wait for longer legs!
me of 15 years ago would be glad to know that i do in fact go to the grave with at least one under my belt.
also recently learnt fs lip slides, slappy tails and ss pop shuvs
relearnt bs flips (nine years on since my last one) which is my all time fave trick and got my fakie kf's and hf's going too
the reboot has been really fun so far.

I finally learned how to ollie.
I just started skating last month, and practiced ollies here and there, but I couldn't wrap my head around it. I watched a movie, smoked a little bit, zoned out, and I broke it down and figured it out. I woke up the next morning, went out in the driveway, and did two back-to-back after warming up. Then I blew a massive hole in the side of my Vans practicing.

just a tip now that you can ollie and will likely learn even more flip tricks moving forward - don't buy canvas shoes or theyll rip instantly, suede shoes are your best bet.

Last trick I learned was a Bennett on transition but it barely grinds if at all. Basically a stall but I take what I can get. Started trying Bennett’s on ledges but I get in them but stick. I’m just scared to go faster with them.
Getting close to impossibles.
And I suck at tres but I’m getting close I just keep landing in front foot weird and tweaking my ankle.

if you're regular, as you pop - get your front foot out of the way and make your back foot go in a clockwise circle to help rotate the board. Point your toe down as you're popping, keep it pointed as the board rotates, and once it hits about 270 degrees or close to a full rotation, even your foot out again to level out the board.
hope this helps!
*edit - if you're goofy, exact same thing except you form a counterclockwise circle with your back foot

I watched Tim and Henry’s pack of lies yesterday morning and decided I wanted to try tech curb tricks. My local skatepark has a curb sized ledge (yes it was at a skatepark) and I did a few 360 flip lipslides. They weren’t beautiful but I was surprised they worked. Lots of them felt like more of a deck check than a lip slide but a few of them slid pretty good.
-
regular stance bs big spin a few days ago
was practising shuvs as a warm up and somehow felt i should go big for a big spin even though i'd never got near one in my life.
ended up making it but reverted to regs on the roll away, which i consider as cancelling the trick seeing as part of the difficulty is remaining fakie.
that happened a few more times, but i got a proper one after about 10 minutes.
tried it the next day and smashed the tail into my ankle really hard on the first try - bad enough to end the sesh.
hope to get another one this week.

flip then turn. we used to do flip almmost vertically and meet up with the board 180 in the 90 ala Muska. its' easier to control if you flick it and catch really quick at anywhere from 45-90 degrees farenheit and continue turning fs together.

I just recently relearned fs heels (regs and switch).
I set up pretty similar to a regular heel. Front foot behind the bolts with toes hanging off the side a little. I also angle my toes forward just a bit (same way as for kickflips). Back foot in the pocket. I put most of my weight on my back foot, sort of lean back before popping.
Pop and throw your back foot diagonally forward. With front foot slide and flick a heel flip also diagonally forward (about 45 degrees to the heel side) and aim to flick high and far out to get your foot out of the way as the board flips and rotates. You really need to suck up your knees for this one. Usually after catching I’m able to rotate the rest of the way before landing without any pivot but at times I pivot a little.
Switch is easier imo.

Skated a mini ramp last week for the first time in over 15 years (I'm 37). Took some time to get my sea legs back, but was able to get 5050 stalls/grind and rock to fakie back fairly quick. Ended up getting fakie disasters, nose stall to fakie and fakie 270 feeble stalls (one of my favorite tricks to do) all in the session. These were all tricks I had on lock in my teens and it was awesome to do them again. Looking forward to skating again and trying to add a few more tricks to my bag.

For me it's all in the pop to get it. If you can snap a good ollie and smack your tail in there, you're more than halfway there. Get in and shoot a few out to get the feeling. Keep your head turned over your shoulder like when you're learning front boards and the trick will do itself. Be confident and don't be too afraid of slipping out, because it will happen but its way better than sticking.
Once you get it you can probably learn back tail shove in the same day.

Like the other post said, practice a good back 90 to slipping out of the slide. Once you have that, take the first part for granted and focus on staying on no matter what. You'll do a few flop outs of the slide but once you got those, reapplying that weight at the end of the slide will feel normal and it's on. Be careful tho, I completely lost my comfort with front tails after learning back ones.

Switch bs 180 nosegrind
So just like switch version of a back 180 nosegrind? So it's like you do a switch back 180 into a regular back 5-0? If that's the case I just did one on the curb sized ledge at my local park sunday for the first time. I've switch back 180 mannyed before on alittle pallet with a piece of wood on it, so the motion felt kind of natural. I did them really slow though. I feel like I'll be able to take them to regular ledges at a normal speed soon though. It feels good.
Also if you mean that you did a Switch back 180 into a regular backside nosegrind I would have probably called it switch back 180 five o cause that's what I'd call the regular motion in normal stance. Also I would tell you I cannot do that and can't imagine myself being able to do that anytime soon or ever.

Also I would tell you I cannot do that and can't imagine myself being able to do that anytime soon or ever.
the 2nd one is sw bs 180 to bs nosegrind, not 5-0. don't overcomplicate things.

Wallride nollie outs. I'm going slow and can't do them consistently, but I did a few proper tonight.
The challenges for this one were to find the right angle. Going at a 45-degree angle feels like I'm going right into the wall, it's something to get used to. Also nollieing/nudging off the wall so my tail doesn't just flop on the ground and I fall into the landing. Still having trouble with that.
But it feels really good to correctly nollie out and roll away and yeah, they're hecka fun.

If serious, you're trying pressure flips wrong. You're supposed to press down on your big toe somewhere around your back wheel and the corner of your tail and essentially stand up on that toe causing the board to tip over, not scoop off the side.

Non-political post cuz I went for a fairly good roll this morning!
Backside boardslide to 270 out; it’s more like a board slide to pop out later revert but I’ll take it. Gunna try and get the half-cab version of it dialed soon and hopefully that will give it more of a 270 out feel.
Also getting switch 360 power slide to switch front 180s on flat. Not sure what to call it, might just name it a Leo Valls 😂
Edit: for some reason I bet silhouette fucks with both of these tricks

Edit: for some reason I bet silhouette fucks with both of these tricks
I don't do switch powerslides or powerslides on flatground in general but occasionally when riding fakie I'll do a fakie 360 revert thing (like a non-popped cab just sliding around) or a variation with a body varial if I feel like turning my body the other way around. I've probably done a few to sw f/s shove without thinking (and I really like doing them into fakie flips) but now you just gave me some ideas for new funky shit based on switch frontside maneuvers out of them.
Backside boardslide 270's I probably learned before normal backside boardslides because the front rock pop out type of motion used to be more natural for me than just dropping off the end of the ledge, occasionally I'd early nosegrab out of those too but I haven't done those in like 15 years. I'm not hesh enough for that stuff and I don't really do backside boardslides in general (but now I'm thinking maybe out of 'wallie' boardslide could look interesting). I do have front board bigspin out on ledges as a guilty pleasure trick, though...

Silhouette > what if I told you my back board 270 are the other way (not the front rock way)?
I always liked half cab nose slide 270 out, but have never been able to do them. I figured though that if it was half cab boardslide 270 then I might have a chance so I’m building up to that. Maybe my description is shit but basically you drop off your regular boardslide and then do a quick backside revert shortly after landing if that makes sense? Not a trick you see often and I’m happy to take anything I can get at 41.
The power slide combos are fun, just watching Leo he seems like he can bust a quick little trick at the end of his slides, and quick switch front 180s ollies for me at least can be done fairly quickly so I chucked a few out today and was pleasantly surprised.
-
Ah yeah I should have figured that out when you first said you wanted to try learning half cabs into those and that it would help with the motion, yeah that's a good trick, I could see it working 'legit' by over exaggerating the kind of nollie pop some people naturally get out of backside boardslides even on rails (not talking about an actually nollie pop although that would work too with three extra sets of balls). I've had the frontside boardslide counterpart on my mind for a while myself so you'd front board then frontside 270 out mid-ledge, but in reality I never even try it because just front board pop out going fast feels cool enough.
Thinking about it, b/s boardslide to b/s nosegrind revert could look fucking dope.
The footwork reflexes Leo or Glen have are a fun way to skate especially when you've been skating for so long that doing the same basic tricks over and over starts no longer doing it for you, plus once you learn your first few of those shuffles they become safety reflexes on specific rollaways where you don't land the first trick as intended and you generally become more comfortable on your board all the while getting more used to quick footed shit in general (then again I've always loved quick footed shit), it's just more freedom since less linearity. More often than not how I land a trick dictates whatever it is I'm doing instantly after now, be it pushing or insta-popping something else if I know I'm already perfectly set up for it.

I recently got back to skating since i’ve had some hip/pelvis issues causing lower back pain
I’ll probably come back to update eventually since before i left i had alot of tricks i was on the verge of getting
I tried to think really hard and i think last new trick i got was nollie bigspin back nose on a ledge by accident because i was going for a nollie front shuv back nose
Always thought it was a pretty gangsta trick

Yesterday night i did ten switch crooks for the first time in my life, on a curb size ledge though. Hopefully by the end of the summer i'll learn to do them on a regular bench size ledge. Definitely one of my childhood dream tricks.

Hey mate, despite having a brand new Xmas setup and new shoes I managed the half cab backside version on a ledge today, again the revert was probably a tad late, but with practice I’m looking to get into one solid movement. You should bust the frontside version, it will be like Karl’s trick down hubba but boardslid, I think it would look cool and could also be half cab-Ed into for extra tech points.
Also got those switch 360 power slides to switch frontside 180 Ollies dialed now, they’re a tonne of fun. I think I could probably combine both tricks and do switch back boardslide 270 out too...

Yo GISM sorry, almost missed this. Looking forward to seeing that trick of yours if you can ever get one on film, I'm curious now, especially if you eventually learn it legit! Last time I skated a ledge I actually had the front board version in mind but again I defaulted to just front board pop out mid ledge going fast, ha - probably one of the most fun trick there is. Pretty sure seriously trying frontside 270 out would just result in me missing over and over and getting frustrated, but I'll give it a few tries for you soon, can't promise anything though, it looks hard. Another semi-similar trick I have in mind is front nose to nosewheelie which is a Soy Panday trick he never filmed back when he was doing it and now I'm tempted to find an appropriate spot and try one for him, honestly that one sounds more accessible and I could imagine adding a revert from that position would kind of feel like Karl's pretzel nose slide trick, just cheaper. Switch back board 270 is really easy, it used to be one of my go-to tricks maybe 10 years ago and I had completely forgotten about that one actually. Kind of feels like a flatground switch frontside 360 ollie with some ledge assist in the middle. If you ever get those, you're probably golden for switch frontside 360's on flat which are notoriously easier than their regs counterpart.
Switch frontside 180 ollie is one of the best feeling tricks, especially when you learn how to do them 'late' after a nice switch ollie, you can just float over stuff or if you do them the lazy way they're just a super convenient maneuver to switch from opposite back to regs. Glad to hear you got them. They're a good one to incorporate into the quick-footed shuffles we were describing earlier too. Maybe try switch 43's sometimes, they're essentially an even lazier version one can naturally just start coasting into if that makes sense, just start carving switch frontside, plant that foot and voilà, it just happens. Backside nollie then either that one or sw f/s 180 is a really floaty dance move that will easily become second nature once it clicks.
Switch 360 powerslide sounds tough, like I was saying I can only do those fakie like a cab without the pop. Reminds me that the other day I was messing around with (popped) flatground cabs into (quick) sw 43's after seeing my friend bail on a cab and his foot just slipped out. So many possibilities, so little time and energy.

I do them with alot of both feet on the board to keep it with me, heels barely hanging off and toes up against the edge of the board. They're easier with your front foot right over the front bolts. Alot of weight on the back foot with your back shoulder right over it and don't rotate too fast. That back shoulder feels like the main thing bringing it around. I find scooping too much can fling it away, so pop and rotate, 90 at first then just wrk on the last bit of rotation.

will try and get my son to film once I have them on lock! will also start working on switch board 270 out, I can actually kinda do the flat ground version of it (albeit very reverted) so it shouldn't take me too long.
nice advice about switch front 180s combos, funny I'm good at regular no-comply tricks but switch ones evade me ... although I did try and work on switch backside 180 ones for a minute there. Will have to delve back into them!
a friend taught me years ago but if you want to do a true switch power slides, then you needed to keep your front foot on the bolts or behind, his reasoning was "you don't do regular power slides with your front foot all the way up the nose". So based on that I just started doing switch front 180 power slides and then late reverting them. And because my front foot is back at the bolts or behind them coming out into switch frontside Ollies is actually quite easy. I'll try an film one of them too and maybe send it too you privately, I don't really want to post my old man skating on here LOL!

I made a bet with the homie: if I don't land a dolphin flip by Monday next week I owed him $100.
First day, tried it close to 200 times. I didn't land it, it was grueling, it was exhausting and the risk of losing $100 took all the fun out of skating. I could flip it but not keep it under me.
Next day, I got it within 30 or so tries, turns out I just had to think of it like a kickflip to keep it under me. Went through all the pain and suffering the first day and felt bliss the next.

Switch FS and BS 180s back in June.
I've had a couple injury spells so spent most of summer just trying to get consistent again. I'm on one of those annoying plateaus trick wise where i've got a few in the works but not able to quite get them over the line.
Got super close to inward heels a few days ago, but slipped out on my third fully committed attempt and went down really hard.
I was aiming for one new trick a month and managed to keep to it from Jan til June, bit annoyed I lost that momentum, but that's skating sometimes.

My problem with learning new tricks is that I don't know where to fit it into my session.
At the start of the session for warming up I do all the tricks I already know in a certain chronological order that only makes sense to me. I have to land all of them at least once clean. The goal is not to lose any and, if possible, improve them. This takes about 30 minutes (I don't have a lot of tricks).
Then I start the "proper session" which I was planning in advance and which might include trying a line, skating a ledge or trying to flip a gap or something at a specific spot, trying to get a clip. This I do until my legs are tired which takes about another hour or 90 minutes max. Even if I get my clip that day, my legs will be too tired at that point to try new stuff.
So where do I fit in learning new tricks? I guess I need to have dedicated "new trick sessions" but there's so many spots I want to hit.
How do you guys do it?

How do you guys do it?
I tend to drill warmup tricks aiming to land 3x in a row of all shuvs, 180s, bigspins etc etc, then move onto knocking out 3x of my "big six", flips both ways, heels both ways, varial flips both ways. That's usually 40 odd minutes i guess.
Usually by that point I kind of know where the session is at, so i'll start working on something new for half an hour or so.
Occasionally I go out with a specific new trick in mind, where i'll do a short warmup for 15 mins or so then just launch straight into spending the session trying to get that new land.
I've had both ways work before, and sometimes learnt something else new that I wasn't planning on... spent ages one session trying to get fakie inward and varial heels, neither were working so switched to trying half cab heels and landed one within 20 or so tries.
I don't think there's really a magic formula, on the days i've gone out without a plan i've often surprised myself...it's rarer that i go out with a specific trick in mind and meet that goal on that day.

I’m old so no questions on legality here…riding up a double sided curb cut locking in to a short, for now) backside smith. I figure I can’t slappie or ollie in to them, might as well get it any way I can. Man, they feel good.

Landed my first inward heel today but it was not real
Just like your ideology! ;D
Just cause you don't like something doesn't mean it isn't real, you idiot
When I said it isn't real, I meant it doesn't successfully exist anywhere in the world, and the possibility of it successfully existing is purely utopian and not based in reality.
That's got to be the worst opinion I've ever heard. Study the history of world war 2 and inquire into what happened at a little place called Stalingrad. This was the most important battle in world history and turned back the fascist offensive that would have overwhelmed the world. The country responsible for this was set up based on ML ideology. Q. E. D.

Seriously dumb. Do you think Russia could have won that war if it was still organized according to feudal ideology? Communism and the 5-year plans allowed the Soviet Union to develop the industrial base that eventually enabled it to defeat Nazi Germany. If they had been capitalist or if they had been feudalist they would have been too weak.

Nice! I have been working on those off and on for almost 10 years with very little success.
I learned nollie fs 180s and nollie frontside tailslides. I also learned switch frontside noseslides. That trick feels great, now I only need to learn it going a little bit faster.
Switch front heel is easier off of something. Try it like that and you will get it.
Yes, i can see that. I‘ve thrown out a few over hips and they seemed doable. I will try them off a bump. I will report back to brag a little when I make one!
-
Finally learned to hold tailslides instead of doing a short slide and falling off. This immediately lead to flipping out, which felt amazing

Still trying to get front tails back. No matter what I try, how I set my feet, I cannot get into them.
Learned nollie frontside 5050s yesterday. Think it’d be easy to do nollie 5-0s once I get a few more 5050s
-
switch bs flip
nollie bs flip

nollie BS3s and nollie BS bigspins... being a nollie FS guy, i found these very satisfying.

Both on embarrassingly small miniramp but felt really good nonetheless.
Front feeble back 270 to regs
Switch bs feeble to reg (like switch feeble fakie)
I sized up from 139 to 159 and a longer WB and it feels like something clicked. Loving the bigger setup after riding 8s for years.

Original thread creator checking in
Fakie big flips over a mellow hip, just not a trick I ever spent any time on til this year,
Front heel the same hip,
Working on reg fs bigspin but coming up just short.
Oh and fs cab the hip, dumb but hadn’t bothered to try it before
-
Back 180 5050 half cab out. Was just dorking around and tried it to nose grind and got perfectly into a 5050 and started trying those instead. Once I get more control I’ll try out to switch.
-
Learned switch crooks this week. I was never a big regular crooked grinder even at the height of my skating when I was younger. Switch crooks feel more effortless and fun now in comparison.
-
fakie inward heels. idk why i've never tried them until last week considering i've always done inward heels on flat
-
Sorry for digging out an old thread.
I relearned heelflips in mid July and got them fairly consistent now. They are looking better than my kickflips which I relearned a year ago…
I learned switch pop shuvs and nollie fs 180s lately, both still sketchy.
Today I got my first frontside boardslides ever on a really low flatbar.
I am very happy about that progress.
Got fakie heels since the above post.
Further, 50/50 nollie front shuv out and bs boardslides to fakie (only had them to regs).
Also got a few sketchy fs 5/0s but need to learn them properly.
I was working on tre flips and fs tails lately but no breakthrough yet.
-
sw flips and frontside flips ! :D

bs losi and fakie bs losi on a qp. going back in regular is harder than doing a bs revert, i'm tryin.

landed nollie heel, nolle varial heel and nollie bs heel today! switch shoe getting more love than my regular one.

Backside 50/50, they are soo fun to do, way easier to lock for long one than frontside.
Hardflip, I never tried to learn but 6 months ago a friend who can do them very well showed me how he did them, I tried (for the first time) and understood the motion. Fast forward to now, it's been 6 month since I tried one (forgot about it and there are some other tricks that I wanted to learn). A kid at the park asked my if I could do a presure hardflip, I said no but tried a normal one just for fun. It went well, after a few tries I stuck one. It's funny how some tricks can be a battle to unlock and some can come super easy. I'll def work on them next session.
-
Fakie varial heel, Bs bigspin 360 on banks, halfcab flip on banks, fakie bigspin on banks

frontside flip and backside flip.
I never tried frontside flip before yesterday and tried a few frontside a year ago during a game of skate but yesterday a friend did both in a game of skate and I landed fronside flip second try and was really close to landing backside flip. Obvisously I need to work on them but I am hyped.
I am more of a heelflip guy so I never think about working on kickflip oriented tricks.

Not a totally new trick but just learned a switch flip on transition, it was kind of low but landed on bolts so kind of hyped!

half cab noseslide 270
-
bs tailslides. this trick has always eluded me, but I managed to get a few good 1-2 ft slides to regs. none to fakie yet which is interesting bc for fs tailslides, I always go to fakie.
-
halfcab flip to fakie, reg bigspin to forward, reg fs 360 to fake, fakie 360 flip to forward, reg 360 flip to fakie and reg back heel to forward - all on bank.
(i feel like doing something on bank counts as a new trick cos you land in the opposite stance to normal and the stance you land in is a pretty major characteristic of any given trick)
-
In the last few weeks:
Nollie fs and bs 180s. I get nice ones occasionally but far from consistent.
Front shuvs thanks to a tip here on Slap. They‘re so nice. Got fakie front shuvs as well soon after. They‘re relatively easy I just never tried them until I got the regular front shuvs.
Now working on slappy bs crooks, got a few to fakie last week again thanks to a tip from a Pal.
-
Started doing slappy crooks recently. Most fun thing to do ever. My out to regs needs work but love doing them.
Trying to get tres back on the regular but constant struggle.
I landed one bs tail a couple months ago. Been meaning to do em more regular but they scary. Even on curbs.
Wanna start doing smiths or feebles but weight distro feels so awkward for me.

Switch Slappy crooks (back to switch, to regs, and shove out)
“Nollie” bs Smith/5-0 red curb, just fun to do cruising/warming up

BS suski on a ledge. Was trying front salad on this flat bar, wasn't working out. It was starting to get on my nerves, so I walked away from it. Started skating this ledge and though about BS suski since it's similar to a FS salad after you get into it. Landed it second try, weird how some things work like that.
-
Front Boardslides in a miniramp. They're one of those ones that always look mega styled when other people do them, but are really awkward to learn. Actually committing to staying twisted so you're looking over your shoulder and putting loads of weight on the back foot on the way back in made it click for me.

i got absolutely fucking murdered trying to fskf a hip on my early morning sesh, so went out to learn a new trick at lunch as revenge.
got fakie big flip second try and ending up getting five or six more.
i've been able to fake tre for a a year and a half - and half cab kf is one of my more consistent tricks - so it wasn't that huge of a suprise/stoke - but it made up for some of the skin i got robbed of this morning.

Got some slappy front crooks on a parking block.

alley-oop pivot to fakie grind, turning in regs (on qp)
ollie one foot (have unsuccessfully tried it randomly here and there for years, but it really only took about two minutes to learn when i stopped and actually engaged my brain. got a nice big one off of bump to flat as my ticket home.)
-
Switch Slappy front crooks, and to regs. Way easier than a normal Slappy front crook, I grinded the first one I tried. Definitely need to clean it up though…
-
Before I hurt my back (45yo) I had nollie crooks pretty solid. Started getting switch frontside flips back proper. Finally back on the board after 10 weeks off.
Skated this weekend and was awful. But such is life. I know I’ll get back to where I was by 10 weeks on. I’m patient.

nollie fs 5-0 shove it out and fakie (backward) nose grind 180 out

I don’t wanna jinx it since I just did a few crappy ones so I shall whisper: frontside slappies.
Shhhhh…
Going to go try a few more. This has been such a battle.
-
nollie tre. was stoked.
was originally trying nollie vkf, which would've been my first flip trick in all four stances, but i was popping in quite a whiffy way that kept spinning 270 at the absolute minimum, so i just went with it.
put down a pretty decent looking one first try and for one micro second i was elated. another micro second later i was on my back enjoying a prime view of the sky.
got it about 10 tries later and only then noticed my elbow had swollen to about four times its normal size.
i did a couple more, but both took longer and weren't as good.
by the end of the session my elbow was completely back to normal.
maybe that's common? seemed pretty fucking weird though.

Been skating a lot and been able to learn a decent amount of tricks lately that I'm very stoked on. Got fs wallie, front 180 fakie 5050 front halfcab out on a two-stair ledge (little kid trick I know, but I've never done one before!), and slappy crook to fakie and slappy crook shove out.

if you can switch slappy nose you got crook for sure, got it at first on a bank to curb and went from there :) ! really want to get slappy front crook if anyone has advice on that one.

Try rolling onto the curb at a lower angle. For bs crooks and 50/50s, I bash into the curb at almost 90 degrees, front crook works with almost running parallel to the curb.

Finally unlearning the snowplow and actually balancing nosegrinds.

I recently just learned bs slappy feeble and have got them pretty consistent now. Also landed a couple nollie bigflips and fs flips. I've always been better at switch, nollie, and fakie tricks so I tend to learn those before the regular stanced tricks for flat ground. I did a good nollie flip at the park yesterday and the guy I was skating with said " that was a good fakie flip." I would be lying if I said it didn't make me feel good to say "oh that was nollie." Lol
-
after 8 years of being scared of doing 50-50s on rails i finally started doing them again, but backside. i used to do frontside 50-50s on rails when i was younger but i had a nasty slam trying to 50-50 down a small rail and i couldn't get over that for years. i'm still scared of doing them frontside but i don't really care because backside is cooler anyway and i've never done them that way before.

On banks and smaller quarters I've recently got: kickflip back noseblunts, switch back noseblunts, and fakie tre switch front blunts. To put it rather bluntly, I'm a fan of blunts (sorry).

Landed a switch crooked grind on a ledge recently but haven't repeated yet. I can do them every try on curbs so I know it's a matter of getting more comfortable switch in general.
Also not "New" but did a kickflip back tail recently which I only will do occasionally.

lol, thanks. it's actually a lack of control thing. with my weaker foot, i can only seem to flick in a way that turns the board, and when i do, i can't help but scoop the back foot a little. i had switch flips for a small time, but they turned into varial flips and never came back. in nollie, treflip is the only flip i can do. i just can't seem to flick with a straight pop - only with scoop.
liked your friends part...

Circa 94 - Boardslide transfers over a spine. I was 30 so I had already started losing some tricks, but I'm pretty sure this is the last new trick I learned. Maybe it was a hip check slider over pump bumps, but that was a few years later and I'm not even sure that counts as a trick?

Learned switch wallie fs 180 a little while back. I'm not sure if i've pulled any jack swing since then. I'd like to start doing some kind of boardslide 270, not sure if regs or switch is the way of the walk. Could be nollie lip? But i will be endeavoring towards spinning out.

Fakie/nollie lip 270 is rad cause when you turn in you’ve already got the momentum needed to spin out too. Super fun on a double sided curb and transferring over to the side with the 270

I finally did a Rickflip (fakie big heel flip) on a hip at the SK8 park. I told myself after I land this I’m out, then landed it perfect. The other trick I did before this one was fs pivot to board to fakie on a QP. That one was shit and Had a bad momentum to it.
I think I’m calling it a PDF from now on ( pivot deck fakie)

What the others said, that'd be a dream. Like some other posters I've just learned slappy crook. Regular crooks have evaded me but some decade and a half of skating later I can slappy into them. It's all I've wanted to do lately. Feels good man.

Haha, backside only and both regs and to fakie. I seem to just sit my front foot at a 45 degree angle right over the front kick and then slam into a curb with a slight lift. From there it's all shoulders. If I think about too much it doesn't work so who knows

Hell yeah! Those are on my bucket list as well. I can easily FS 180 and kickflip, but I can't figure out how to combine the two. Someday...
I've learned FS full cabs at a decent speed on flat lately. Those feel real good in a line.

Same, FS flip was may signature trick in the 90s, I could even do it over pyramids and down gaps. Now they elude me and I am also afraid to lose kickflips if I concentrate too much on FS flips, as that is what happened in the 90s. I had a very nice popped kickflip until I learned the FS flips.

to all people who struggle with frontside flips - try doing it with a pivot first, like a kickflip nose manual 180, put your front foot at more of an angle than when doing regular kickflips, almost parallel to the board (imagine if there was a straight line going through the length of the board if that makes sense, then put your front foot just a couple degrees shy of being parallel to that imaginary line). this helps the board to start doing the 180 motion, then catch the board like you would for a kickflip nose manual and pivot out the rest. eventually it will come around quicker and you’ll be doing most of the 180 in the air, but that pivot thing is very helpful at first.
last trick i (re)learned was a half cab fs 50-50, alley oop or something

^Thanks, I'm gonna give this a try tonight!
Something totally different I've been learning is lip tricks on mellow transition. I almost exclusively skated street growing up and only ever learned axle stalls and shitty rock variations. I've been skating a lot more park since coming back to skateboarding, so I thought it would behoove me to get some more variation going. To my delight I've picked up popped BS disasters quite easily. Now I'm trying to work up to BS tailstalls. Those would be niiiice to have.

That’s awesome! Such a fun and cool trick. On flat or a hip? I still have them on flat but not as nice or consistent as they used to be. Try some fakie. Once I learned fs flips, fakie fs flips were much easier to learn.

Fakie FS Krooked Grind. It's all about letting your back foot hang of the board and on the ledge. Best feeling trick, probably should've started trying these about 20 years ago as I'm now 46 years young.

I do slighty faster than normal kickflip into 90°:the idea its that by the time the board flipped completely its perpendicular to the direction your are going, you can literaly see the board sticking to you feet, keep rotating those last 90° and roll away. sometimes at this last 90 degrees turn you can land a little on the nose and pivot the board.
In conclusion; I do a 90° kickflip and keep rotating, shoulders open always... 60% porcent of the time it works every time...

I think I learned backside slappies last time I skated. Never tried one before and decided to give them a go on a small ledge, but not completely sure if I was popping the tail to get into them, but compared to when I normally ollie into bs 5050s I was locking into the grind perfectly each time.

I felt like this sometimes so I recorded some just to check- nope it’s just in my head. If you want to check without recording just put your feet high enough in the pockets that you can’t ollie (this is ideal anyway). Then you’ll find out.

Thanks to all y'all's tips and encouragement I also landed my first ever FS flip today (and a second one for good measure). Beyond stoked. Thanks Pals!

rock n roll ain't noise pollution.
-
Learned slappy front feebles. Feels so good when you pop out of them.
-
Finally worked up the courage to get a backside 50 in this big local bowl with a couple feet of vert and pool coping. It was obviously easy once I just nutted up and committed but it took me months to get there.
-
not really new, but i managed to land a nice kickflip bs crooked grind to fakie with decent speed, grind, and clean landing again yesterday, it's been quite some time. same for bs pop shuvit fs nosegrind. so i was stoked... they come so slow and go so fast >:(
-
Finally have kickflips dialed in. Learned them well over a decade ago but they’ve always been really hard for me. Landed 12 in a row the other day.
My friend pointed out that I hunchback too much and to think of it more as a squat like when you’re doing a back lift. Idk how that’s escaped me for so long
