A little while back I overheard some rollerbladers at the skatepark taking about doing tricks switch. I wondered how that's possible with rollerblading. Seems like you're either rolling forwards or backwards and you turn clockwise or counterclockwise.
I think the term in blader speak is “Unnatural”
And can be applied to
rotation direction or foot placement on an obstacle.
I like fakie fire cracker. Might be impossible to fire cracker forward on blade tho so it might be just fire cracker.
It’s pretty much the exact same tactic as skateboarding fire cracker. You wanna clip the tip of the stairs and basically do a manual.
What do we call RB mannys? I can’t remember. I did like bombing hills on my toes tho. That’s probably my first RB trick.
Fakie manny hill bomb. Makes sense because my first skateboarding trick was hill bomb. Same with my little brothers’.
Anyway
During my few months of PT blading I liked to land tricks into stairs like it was a bumpy wedge ramp.
I was told by a friend was is a heavy trick back in the day.
Do like alley oop? 180 fakie top soul?
(Rail on the left, counter clockwise 80, Right foot locked over the bar left foot rear wheel on the rail and pow into to the stairs.
So much fun!!! I want go do it rn. Lol.
the big negative to rbs is escaping cops or violence. So difficult
Skateboarding is the best ride for art crimes and shit.
Hop a fence in seconds and walk down the tracks till you are outside the city’ hop on a bus and be gone.
RBs are a pain and bikes are sometimes too heavy to whip over the barbwire.
