They were hot a minute a while back. Any instances of them appearing lately?
-
I tried to push those memories down into the depths with things I wish I could unsee.

This one from a few years ago. At the 2 minute mark.

I thought it looked pretty cool, but I’m a total kook.

I'd much rather watch a front three shove than a laser flip.
-
Cairo made them look good.

Tricks alright. I prefer from biggie. Both should always be switch too.
Just feels better. Probably because the switch 80 turn over in a line era. That scoop is in my DNA now.

Dev Calloway trick…

Yep that's who I always think of specifically the one at 0:50

Nah, you are right, this one did look good. One of the few I'd say. Always enjoyed Nassim's skating. What happened to the dude, haven't seen him for a while.

Are front 3 shoves not okay because they're stupidly difficult or because most people who try them make them look stupid?

I think because most people click their heels à la Jeffwon

Thats by the way one of the best song choices for a part

Switch is the only way I could do it decent. For some reason doing them in your normal stance is much more difficult.

RATHER NOT …. 🤢

Either I suck a big one or this is a humble brag. Only way I'm getting that much flat spin is off a ramp and at that point it's a throw and hope anyway.
-
I call it the Cairo spin and they’re fun.

That. Any trick where your feet almost click together is honestly repulsive

I’m ashamed this is the first time I’m seeing this

First one that came to mind was Ali Mills in Useless Wooden Toys. He also does a fs kickflip, kinda rare for 1990

He really was one of a kind. What happened to him? Is he still part of primitive?

The most important thing I think about is lining up my heel of my shoe with the edge of my bloard toes off the other rail.
This way the grip will always be touching the sole of your shoe for the full rotation. Bother become more of a front foot trick for me.
My back foot just pops and passes the bolts forward to my other foot. And I 80 or I wait for full 360 and push it down .
I like to lift my toes up in my shoe for extra pop.

You gotta fight it.
You only supposed to kick it forward lightning fast. Heel clickers are doing too much.

I tend to do it on switch flips for some reason.
Front 360 shoves seem like a very awkward trick to power out. I can’t really wrap my head around how they work. I used to have pretty good bs ones that actually popped.

Sick thanks for the insider info I'm going to try it out.

Don't be a clown dude. Front three shoves are a legitimate trick not like all those no comply variations we had a few years back
-
Crob's switch one out of manual was always overshadowed by his switch kicky manny in my eyes, both at the LA courthouse stage in Hot Chocolate Tour. As for a modern day version I'm lost tbh.

Np pal. I hope it works. I have trouble explaining stuff. The heel line up is sound tho.

Ooof. I'm sorry but IDK if it's the filming or what but that shit was septic tank to me.
I like Chris too.

varial flips > any of that

Cairo had a nice one in Fully Flared. It seemed to be a Crail trick for awhile due to Cairo in FF, then Devine's and Chris Roberts' which were already mentioned.
-
Devine Calloway did one out of a manuel one time and it looked so nice and fluent. That’s the last one I ever really saw and liked.

I landed a real nice one on flat in front of a wasted Tom Penny about 15 years ago after either a Flip or Krew + Supra demo.
He dapped me up, gave me a bro hug and leaned in to say something to me. To this day, I still don't have the foggiest fucking clue what he said to me.
He seemed stoked though.

“Is this real or is this really real?”

any dub shuv in any direction or stance is so heinous.

Either quit or got kicked of off element? Not sure which one. Lived in barca for a few years, started posting a lot of esoteric islamic stuff then went off the radar iirc. Now living back in rotterdam, working at the indoor park last i saw. He skated yesterday at go skate day

If you hat on front 3 shuvs it's because you are mad you can't do em. I feel it's one of the sickest flip(shuv) tricks
-
imma try to re learn these, i used to be able to do them kinda shitty on flat. i lost those and front big spins when i went from 7.75 to 8, i didn't think it would make that much of a difference but i guess it does because i don't even come close now, it's 270 every time
-
I only stuck one ever, and the one I stuck I landed on the board with both my feet close together and touching and I didn’t land with my feet horizontally across the board, but vertically parallel to the board; needless to say I couldn’t stay balanced on the board having landed like that and flung out like half a second after I landed, but luckily I didn’t eat too much shit. Haven’t stuck one since, definitely a trick that requires a lot of strength and a lot of just flinging yourself with the board and hoping you land with it, at least for me. I have really good fs pop shuvs and I’m decent at fs bigspins so you would think fs three shuvs would be right there for me to grab, but it definitely ain’t.
As far as for good ones, I really like Cairo’s.
