that cheesy wallie nollie thing. I've always thought they were a lame way to cheat a wallride, and they are, but they are pretty fun to do.
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.
