What is the most rare “legal” flat ground trick?

[FatGuy92]

IMO frontside 3 shuv. I saw someone do it before bombing a hill in SF but I forget which video. That one was awesome.

[RoaryMcTwang]

I'll go with fakie inward heel, I have trouble recalling even a single one being done on flat in a legit video part. I can't think of a single good looking one either actually (fakie varial heels got a boost when the boss started doing them down stairs)

[Lessfillingtastegreat]

Fakie impossible when done proper. Ultra rare.  Trying to remember which video I saw with one and was stoked.   Key is done proper.  Not the 3-shuv version.

Lucas has done them from flat up to a fakie manual in his Helas part. Then again, Lucas is a god.

Stevie’s old homie Sun does one over a trash can on its side off flat as a guest trick in his Chocolate Tour part.

[DannyDee]

Can anyone think of a time someone has done a backside 360 heelflip? The kickflip version is pretty common (mike arnold can even do them switch) and I can't recall a single bs 360 heel.

Makes sense though. Think about the inverse. How often do you see fs 360 kickflips. Neither are tricks you commonly see. You do occasionally see fs 360 heels (Jake Andrson's in Barca stands out off the top of my head).

I didn't even bother reading through this entire thread because I'm eating soup, but Adam Alfaro is the only person allowed to do dolphin flips on flat.

I can't think of on flat but wieger did a bunch of back 3 heels. Weirdly back in early 00s I'd see a lot of locals do front 3 kickflips all the time altho they were the Muska type which was the fashion of the time. Louie does one down some stairs in Osiris subject to change and there's that will phan line (2nd clip)

You spelled Darrell Stanton wrong.

Ruben Spelta and Chris Athans both do that trick the proper way a lot, maybe you're thinking of either of those two.

[WadeDes]

I have seen Wieger do bs 360 heels on flat for fun and also in some footage (too lazy to search the archives) still very rare and legal. The switch bs 360 (with of without kickflip) is a rare one and almost impossible one, I would like to add the switch fs 360 heel, remember Jesus in fully flared pulling it off and that shit blew my mind back then.

[newMe]

You don't see a switch big flip (Switch big spin flip) that often. Probs because it's so difficult.

Switch impossible is a unicorn as well

[Arto!Arto!WakeUp!]

as a few people have mentioned, impossible feels like the only common trick that you very, very rarely see translated to switch.

tyson bowerbank is pretty much the only person i can remember seeing a switch impossible from.

[Prostate Exam]

I want to see more straight forward kickflips in between lines

[Roisto]

Walker Ryan has a good switch impossible also. Very rare to see one. I love the impossible and doing one switch is some incredible wizardry to me.

[WadeDes]

Zered Bassett has footage of a switch impossible in a line and also a switch 360 shove in a different one. Really love how he made sure these tricks are different.

Luan has a nice one, but I've never seen him do it on the streets

[sk8punk110]

Not flatground but a nice Nollie late backfoot flip looks so good off some stairs

[Shiro417gunpla]

Switch flip cross foot

[Arto!Arto!WakeUp!]

y'all will probably come out with a million examples now, but i think regular back heel is another pretty good example of a basic trick that very rarely crops up on flat.

[artskool]

A lot of the super techy ones are definitely sliding into illegal territory when most people do them. Fakie FS shove is dead simple, and a pretty elusive one.

properly popped nollie equivalent is possibly even rarer. penny had them in the late 90s, but can't really recall seeing many aside from that.

Unfortunately nollie/fakie shoves have a huge overlap with the beginner tricks category. White guys shouldn't do nollie varial heels ever (maybe not even fakie either) good for everyone else tho.

I have this theory where on flat impossibles are generally easier over your dominant foot and so to a lot of goofy skaters in particular switch impossible should be easier to learn than regular ollie impossible (since right footed is most common), most people don't try them just because of the name of the trick which sounds a bit daunting (a funny phenomenon in itself). Reason why they're rare as fuck to see over or down something is doing them on flat is one thing but clearing shit with them feels very awkward, comparable to trying switch 360 flip over or down something, one needs especially impeccable speed, timing and (switch) control and so on such terrain regular is always a lot easier.

This! I'll take a high-speed rocket kickflip over the obligatory treflip any day.

Can't think of one on flat but Daewon comes to mind. Also had one down some stairs in his New World Order part (93)

I, too, love seeing kickflips in lines. Keep it simple, fools.

Wes does them fairly frequently. His ender in a I think the last skate mafia bud was switch tail to switch impossible out.

[mattchew]

I did a nollie varial flip and then regular varial flip in a line on Monday, shout-out Tim O’Connor.
