Flatground treflips are filler and most switch tricks should not be filmed

[AssFlea]

I love flatground.

I'm played out on flat.

I dream about the flat bar. It's strange because I've always liked ledges Manny pads and flat gaps on hills.

The flat bar has grabbed me by the spiritual kiwi and I can't get no satisfaction

This is 2019 son about to be 2020, if anything it’s fucking back 3s. This ain’t fucking 2004 where every 2 obstacle 3 trick line had the 3rd trick as the flatground trey between obstacles.

[sus]

as long as there isn't more than 1 maybe 2 flat ground 360 flips in a singular part, i dont care really

[givecigstosurfgroms]

i got bored of doing tre flips because the were too easy. now i can't do them for the life of me

   I had them every go for 2 years in my earlier 30s and i did them tirelessly all day.  Switched coasts, bought a new board and the tres stopped working!!!!!  Worse then losing a friend (well, on level)

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.

The Simon Cowell of skateboarding. Get outta here

If I got a tre flip on film, or not on film, I would chalk it up as one of my life's greatest achievements.

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.

I love people complaining about trucks.
Seriously, go jump off a bridge if you're complaining about anything besides bennihanas and shuvit tail grabs.

To be fair, the Ford F-150 blows chunks, man.

Yeah, everybody knows that Toyotas are the shit.

Haha...no sweat. It was a perfect opening for me to drop some of my stupid "humor".

I avoid getting bored with tre flips by not being able to do them. 

[Yu Dum]

I understand the sentiment because I do, and have filmed, too many 360 flips, but it's still one of those tricks that not every single person can make look good. Also, no switch?? By that logic, almost every single part of the past decade would be cut into a fraction of what the final product was.

[tzhangdox]

pretty roundabout way to admit you can't tre and have zero switch tricks.

Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well

No, it shows style. When guys like Kalis, BA or Apples (and there are a bunch of others, but the first 3 I think of), trey flip in their lines as a connector it looks great. As for switch tricks? No. You are wrong. There are great skaters who rarely film anything switch (Westgate, GT, Mason Silva, AO, Danny Brady, etc) and some are my favorite skaters, but if you can do them proper it is impressive as hell. The fact Shane O'Neill can switch flip-back tail so consistently is unreal and deserves to be documented.

Took me a while to find the “opinions that don’t matter” thread but here I am!

[Lou Strux]

This may have started out as a bullshit thread, but the comments have paid back (10X) for the offense.
...And whereas I too have taken notice of the seeming ubiquity of the flat 3-flip as a line filler, I would like to point out that we’re talking about skateboarding here, and there are rules, god dammit.
The first of which is: there are NO FUCKING RULES!!!
Full disclosure: never landed a one of ‘em.
Darned kids with your reverse whirley-bird spins & upside down helicopter flips... get off my lawn!
(Insert grumpy old guy shaking fist at youth enjoying themselves.)
Hugs & of course, shalom to you all. Even our arguably confused/misguided OP.

I wish you said impossible so I could have used Darren Nolan's Dr Tech.

I fucking love DN.

I remember watching Mikey Taylor's part in Skate More and being bummed that he didn't do any 360 flips. The 360 flip is like a standard flatground trick that I welcome. Remember Antwuan starting his baker 3 part with the line with the 360 flip, that one was ideal. Although, I will gouge out my eyes if I see an exaggerated back foot 360 flip or "Yo" flip. I have no preoccupations with certain tricks, just the way they are executed. Switch looks kind of cool when you can tell they're skating switch. When you can't tell that they're switch to me it looses it's appreciation of difficulty.   

[cosmicgypsies]

so if 360 flips are the overused filler trick what do you nominate as a replacement OP? another trick that will eventually be too played out for your tastes and in a years time we have the same thread different trick?

guaranteed op got snaked by a kid doing switch 360 flips

[UselessAsshole]

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

[pizzafliptofakie]

I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt.

agreed

[Front Blunt]

Im waiting on big boned ollies to take off as the new flat ground filler

[Eggie Vedder]

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.

[CHONGO]

is this supposed to be the "change my mind" meme but as a text?
