Seems like everyone forgets about them once they learn 360 flips.

I remember for a long time they were called shitflips in the Kansas City area.

I like them if they've got good style, surprisingly a trick not everyone can pull off despite many thinking it's the intermediate of Kickflip and 360flips, two tricks that are every skatepark kids go-to

i look at it like a pop shuv, if you can do one proper and control it nicely, its cool.

agreed ^

I have a decent varial flip, and will do them without shame

The proper name for this trick is Kickflip Shove it. A varial uses one's hand to make the board turn. You don't call a Pop Shove a Pop Varial DO YOU?

The name is not relevant because it's a trick for dirty hippies.

they often look shitty, but i think they are fun to do. it's a dilemma. josh wilson ender in mother over the bar was a good one.

it's like fakie mongo that it's agreed to be wack but then if someone good does one everyone will jock it.
i skated sans media for a yr or so and i had no idea about 'in tricks' so varial flip was sick because it was 2 tricks.
intrinsically, there's nothing wrong w/ any trick, our favorite pros dictate their value and most of us just repeat what we've heard.
[don't get me wrong, i'm sheep in this regards. i think they're wack but one day i'll be too old to care and i'll start doing them and realize all the time i wasted disliking a trick that was really closely related to a trick i do like , 360 flip and it will be like tearing down the berlin wall.]

It seems to me that if you're going fast they look good. Everyone always says "they can look good" but the only ones that look shitty to me are when kids are barely rolling and do them.

Yes.
Especially fakie or nollie over something. But like everyone says, depends on how it's done. That can also be said for any trick, though.

One of those tricks like switch ollies or fakie shuvits that are lame on flat but cool going up or down something.

People still debating about the coolness of tricks. If you feel it, it's cool. It's that easy.

They are easier to learn than kickflips so they are not.  Also, any trick I can do is suspect.

 This one just varies person to person.  If you feel like you’re doing a dumb little kid trick you probably should stop. A select few do them well.

Varial flips have always been cool, you just can’t be a varial flip “guy” who does/tries them all the time.  Then it’s a little much. 

A well-executed varial flip should always be a nice little surprise.

Post by: Style Police on July 18, 2018, 08:41:56 PM
Depends.

Matt Fields, Carroll, BA, O'connor, Renaud, Gino etc.. made them look good.

Recently Josh Wilson & this Joslin one...
