Title: The trick quality of pleasantness
Post by: billyerlife on May 18, 2018, 09:05:59 PM
Frontside tailslide thread got me thinking of pleasant tricks, like a nice long frontside tailslide to regular. It's apparent in 180 in 180 out tricks where it's all in the same rotational direction, e.g. backside 180 nosegrind frontside 180 out. That one makes sense I guess, because it's like a 360 with a grind in the middle, but it seems similar to the switch 270 frontboard back to regular (as opposed to completing the rotation back to switch). What is going on with these tricks? What other tricks share this pleasant quality?

I like the way a nice long front 5-0 on a ledge feels, a little cocked to the side sitting comfortably.
Also fakie flips, I really like tricks rolling and landing backwards.

One of the coolest tricks I've seen recently that falls into this category is a switch front shuv, switch back fifty, switch front one out.

So yeah. Front shuv fiftyfifty front one out...... but switch.

It flows so damned nicely.

Dang, thank you for that! I hadn't thought about Jayme Fortune in a long time.

Frontside bigspin with a 50-50 in the middle, exactly the kind of thing I'm thinking about. Just a switch front suv to 50-50 would be pleasing as well, in a way that a backside pop shuv it to frontside 5050 would not be. Not that the latter is a terrible trick, but it definitely isn't as pleasant as the former.

Tricks that dont take alot of effort and still feel good are the best. A long fs boardslide is a fun one. nollie fs 180s on flat are always fun. A long bs 5050 on a ledge is always a fun way to start a session and doing a backside nosegrind pop out in the middle of a ledge will always feel amazing.
BS tricks tend to feel good, a proper bs tail or a bs lip always give me a pleasent feeling, like everything happend as it "should" happen

The "BA" grind

That bs flip right after, though. The whole part is good and I can't get over how smooth every trick was.

So many good things in here. Gnarliest slam, best song, making Saviers look cool, smoothest flip trick into manual (half cab flip manny at 3rd Army), best post trick roll away (fs smith to bs powerslide to completely over it), Freddy Kruegers sweater, best trick down a gap in a line (kickflip; 3rd Army), best "downhill" line (sf 3 stair where they film porn. Makes a 360 no comply in a line look cool), probably 2 best varial flips ever done (regular and fakie). Thinking about it, this is one of the greatest parts of all time
