Title: best tricks done in one fluid motion
Post by: fineslime on July 03, 2023, 10:29:20 AM: the kickflip backtail bigspin done at 1:08 by Ishod got me thinking...

http://youtu.be/IeJjFzpINOA?t=67

the best looking and most stylish tricks are often done in one fluid motion; no herky-jerky movements in-between the pop and the landing. I also think this is the crux of having good style.

what are some of your favorite tricks that have been done in one complete motion?

These two sprung to mind. Not beautiful tricks done beautifully per se, but there's something about the fluid motion here. Wenning's one always looked to me like such a fun trick to do because of this, but any form of front shuv into anything has always been a mystery to me.

100%. Limiting the definition of “good style” so narrowly is a sign of a severely underdeveloped aesthetic sensibility.

Post by: tuesday on July 04, 2023, 11:07:38 AM: There is a clip of Hjalte Halberg where he loses his cap during a trick, lands the trick and catches the cap all in one fluid motion. Phenomenal. Maybe someone can find it.

Post by: SatanicPanic on July 04, 2023, 06:45:03 PM: I don’t understand how multi trick ledge combos can be done in one fluid motion. Doesn’t that mean I just tapped the ledge? Like if I did a kickflip nosegrind a good one would be three- kickflip/land on nose, hold nosegrind for a while, then pop off.

Post by: Steely Daniel on July 04, 2023, 08:17:58 PM: I liked the way Penny did pivot rock fakies. It's gotta be an easier variation of the trick but he still made it look like one fluid motion. They look like they feel really fun and probably are since he would still do them out of long bs 5-0s sometimes instead of going straight to fakie when he obviously could do that just as easily.
