Flatground treflips are filler and most switch tricks should not be filmed

[Ratnuts]

I realize that we are in the age of 10 minute video parts. But really, flatground treflips are not impressive, in fact they are too common. And most people filming switch tricks should do them the regular way because mostly it looks gross.

Frankly, there is no escaping lifestyle footage in the modern skate part. But if skatepark footage is shamed as basic, then flatground ride-away tricks need to be re-examined. And if you look stupid doing a trick switch, do it the other way and look fucking gorgeous.

is this supposed to be the "change my mind" meme but as a text?

I use a flat tre as a set up or a finisher for most of my lines so eat doo doo.

instead of "filler" maybe think of it as a "connector". but if we are talking about tricks that should be put on a backburner, then im gonna go with the bigspin.

I agree completely. Unless its hucking. Its a way overused flatground trick.

[doctorkickflip]

There are a lot of tricks that look better switch then regular. Wouldn't even be surprised if this were already a thread. The backside 5-0 for example. Most heelflips.

Hell yeah I do feel like switch bs heelflips look great most of the time. I just don't like a switch trick done for the sake of being switch. It should be perfect or not done at all.

you sound like a dude who only skates parks and is getting defensive about it. flatground tricks in a real line in the streets are not filler.

I am only talking about video parts. All skateboarding matters. But filming, that's different to me.

[SneakySecrets]

I’m trypiing all tyhis wiith my toees.  Thatrs liule typing sewwitch.

[CurbyPuckit]

These are the threads that make me laugh.  I live for these stupid ass opinions that someone goes out of their way to express. 

[Brguy]

Who cares, if a guy likes to do treflips all the time let him be. You're forgetting that skateboarding is supposed to be fun, not some shit show contest to see who has the best footage.

[WarmUpZone]

I agree with OP on the 360flip part (not the switch hate, though).
The flatground 360flip as connector between two bigger tricks (with the final trick down a set of stairs) is very played out. Nollie kickflips or nollie heelflips come in second place. Are they better then just no connector tricks? Probably. But if I had the talent I would try to deepen my bag of stylish flat ground tricks for just this situation.

I also agree that the present plethora of after-hammer flat ground tricks (and failed trick attempts) being left in videos is for the worse. I just counted 10 of those in Kader's part in Baker 4.
Granted, Baker videos aren't known for their tight editing.

[AssFlea]

I agree about the Tre. But nay on switch crooks.

How about we change the set up trick to a big flip or a front heel and keep trying to get this switch crook Fakie flip right.

Then we can do some dabs with Beagle

Mo Duncan Jr has a mean Tre. I can watch them all day.

I like shuv flip better. Like Andrew Cannon has a mean one.   
I'm going to go look.

[rusty knees]

totally agree with you. (just the tre part) some of us have just seen too much of the same shit over and over.

I'd rather see a nollie heel than a tre at this point.

(also if your 360 flip barely leaves the ground, don't even bother)

[slippy]

Agree with 3 flip, I think it's dumb to say switch shouldn't be filmed and don't get it at all

[ClownOfTheDay]

Is a bigspin a popshuv with a 180 or is it a 3 shuv with a 180? I'm confused about that.

ok thank you

[AssFlea]

There's one filler Tre in here but

Start at like 1:30 because the opening is wack

This is one of my favorite lines in here. I think it's a bummer that kids will know him for being at contest talking when in real skating he is the shit.

Also his band is fire af

It’s not like there’s a whole lot of other options that are easy enough or look good enough on flat to keep the line going. What do y’all want to see instead, 3 shuv ems? Heel flip shuv ems? Fuckin ew.


Edit: OP I don’t agree with you in the slightest, switch shouldn’t be filmed? Lmao.
