Beautiful tricks are :

Gino Iannucci performing a switch backside tailslide or Josh Kalis a 360 flip.


The preciseness, power, control, bolts and also the spot/street they are....


also the pants yeah...


also, sorry but I hate any variation of smith grinds, I think their whole body position is ugly....

If your only motivation is to do the hardest trick possible, you're probably doing it wrong.

On the opposite, if you through peoples trick selection can interpret how deep their knowledge in relations to skateboard history goes, they can usually get away with anything. Even dorky tricks. It's all a matter of what perspective your present your tricks in.

Some tricks are safe: ollie up and I'd say like kickflips. But if there is a countable number of any trick, idk I'm like damn what is up with the varial heel? Obvs there's exceptions to be made, Kalis can noseblunt as much as he wants.
Whoa. Danger.

a limited bag is not neccesarily bad trick selection though - id rather watch a dude who does 4 tricks really well than a dude who could do any trick but chooses to do nollie double flips

Have you seen a well done dipped back smith?

I don't think I've seen a double flip anything I liked.

ok I have seen some cool street backside smith grinds, but other than that all them seem like a wack bailarina dancer in my opinion...

If the skater does more than one of these things:

-pants that have words on them
-pants that have elastic at the leg opening
-high & tight ponytail (?)
-filmer zooms in on the face before & after trick then posts with some trap on Instagram.

They have a zero percent chance of having a good trick selection.

Any double flips, 360 shuv its, and impossibles are a no-go for me. Backside boardslides are bad too and it feels like I see more now than ever. They are usually at gnarly spots, but if the spot is so heavy that the only trick that works is a bs boardslide I would just rather not see anything.

I think the nollie double flips choose you, but really yer totally right. I'd say it's more about the big picture, like if I'm so so on any part in will start finding fault. Meanwhile I'll happily watch soy panday only nose Manny and 360 flip or kochiro uehara do a million small ollies. Skateboardings complicated.
Whoa. Danger.

Back Smith is maybe the most inherently beautiful trick there is.

Anything that is needlessly over-complicated (e.g. AA's ridiculous ledge combos).

no real connection or consistency in the selection is always bad. It makes it look like the person is either doing stock tricks with no sense of how they fit with the spot, or just trying to do the "hard" or "hot" trick of the moment to impress. Basically makes no difference to me how hard the trick is or how tech, so long as the person makes it their own and it looks natural in the setting and execution.

No-no's: body varials, late shuvs, 360 shuvs, and nollie fs smiths.

This applies to everything else:
