I'm happy to watch a flatground tre. And may this picture remind us all of the beauty of certain switch tricks:

I would rather see a 360 flip in a line then a flat ground late shuv. They are over done but there aren’t many better options for a regular to regular flat ground trick.

I also have to say I’m a fan of the roll away trick after a banger. It’s like their special meter is up.
I love heelflips in between

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I’d like to see some 360 shoves take over a bit of 360 flip’s market share.  They’re low-key harder than 360 flips for a lot of people and I feel like I hardly ever see them.

I’ve noticed impossibles have been encroaching into 360 flips’ territory as well. 

When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.

The only trick that makes me turn off a part is the backside boardslide. I don’t care how big the handrail is, they always look gross.
Funny, Nyjah said the same thing in a Thrasher interview. The same interview where he said women shouldn’t skate.

it must be crazy when chico sells you something and the tables switch from "give me my money chico" to "giving my money to chico"

For the kind of skating I prefer and like to watch, switch tricks done for the sake of being switch don’t do much for me either. I like when they are in a line were it flows naturally because the skater ends up being switch from the previous trick, but going switch just because it’s harder or for a nbd personally doesn’t get me going.

I like 360 flips and other flip tricks on flat when there is a bit of a lul between terrain/obstacles in lines. Why not?

I agree, I will turn of a video part after the 2nd flatground 360 flip
You also only get one crooked grind per part, switch or regs
And no switch mongo pushing, instantly turn your part of for that shit.
FOH did you even watch the Tiago part earlier in the thread? Switch mongo like a fine wine after the illest crook you’ve seen son.

Yes, tre flips are filler, we all know that. Reason is that everyone would judge your tre in a vid "he has the best tre", "he catches with his front foot" etc., it just stuck.

Can't remember who did it recently but no tre as a filler on one line but instead, an impossible.

There's one filler Tre in here but

Start at like 1:30 because the opening is wack

This is one of my favorite lines in here. I think it's a bummer that kids will know him for being at contest talking when in real skating he is the shit.

Also his band is fire af

Not hating but I could have done every trick in this part.

This is too true.A part is a showcase of skill, not a showcase of how limited your flatground vocabulary is.

Is a bigspin a popshuv with a 180 or is it a 3 shuv with a 180? I'm confused about that.

ok thank you
I'm not sure, frontside I do more of a pop shuv and 180, backside feels more 360 shuv with a body varial.
Will skateboarding ever find a unifying theory of complex systems?

I think it’s more of the case of who’s doing what and how did it look. Andrew Reynolds did a 360 flip in baker 4 that was amazing and I don’t recall him doing very many of those. I love every single Mike York 360 flip and watching him taught me how to do it.Ugly 360 flips or any flip tricks for that matter should not be in a video part but good skaters know what they can and can’t do well.

a good tre flip is always welcome irrespective of how it's used

blondey's treflip line in that addidas vid was garbage though

First Thrasher I bought.

What was up with the red amish stubble is what I'm still wondering.

The only time I feel like flat tires are questionable is when it’s a two trick line and the first trick is flat tre and second trick is hammer.
I’m a fat Siamese cat.

I think this is what it all comes down to. This line has some major offenses according to this thread but it was still so enjoyable.

I realize that we are in the age of 10 minute video parts. But really, flatground treflips are not impressive, in fact they are too common. And most people filming switch tricks should do them the regular way because mostly it looks gross.

Frankly, there is no escaping lifestyle footage in the modern skate part. But if skatepark footage is shamed as basic, then flatground ride-away tricks need to be re-examined. And if you look stupid doing a trick switch, do it the other way and look fucking gorgeous.

Still prefer a 360 flip to a big spin.

Imagine that every time someone landed switch, that they would just pivot around to regular...

horrendous turnaround guy.
