what slappy tricks should i learn next? i have:
fs5050
bs5050
bs feeble (sometimes) 
bs crook
bs noseslide
bs boardslide

FS noseslides are a lot of fun. I have a hard time with bs noseslides for some reason, but sliding them frontside feels good and in my head they look really stylish (even though they really don’t).

+1 front noseslides. They're pretty easy and feel so good when you hit one going mach 10 and slide the shit out of a nice red curb. I feel you on back noseslides. I always stick on those and fall out to fakie. I pretty much gave up on them at this point.

Front nose is a great steezlord trick, up there with front shoves and a few others imo for just being cool af

Back nose on a curb is a funny one, and tail/nose slides in general — if im on a slanted California style curb it will just kinda spit me off to fakie most of the time. It’s hard to lock in on those. If it’s a more squared off curb then that’s a different story.

And some others are talkin bout front crook— I gotta be feeling mad limber to get those for some reason, even tho back crooks are my consistent go-to. And when I do pop up, I often find myself doing more of a slappy nose grind instead. Not sure why. Just one of those weird asymmetrical quirks of my own body/movement I guess.

Finding that sweet spot angle coming in to the curb has been my problem with backside noseslides. Can't come in too parallel because turning frontside onto the curb is so awkward. Can't come in too perpendicular because you won't slide.

how can i fill in cracks in curbs? not talking about the gaps between different sections of concrete, but little cracks like the ones flowers sometimes grow through.
i've been filling it in with wax, but it doesn't work the best and also uses wax

I use Bondo for curb repairs. Just make sure it’s a hot day/have artificial means of heat like a blow dryer or it will not dry. Once it’s hardened you can brick-clean-lacquer.

[BartHarleyJarvis]

Just picked up a new rub brick, scraper, and can of clear enamel (Home Depot was out of clear lacquer). Going to try and get some work done while everyone’s distracted by the super bowl tomorrow…

Going to enjoy my Sunday with the sole intention of slappying curbs over and over again

[layzieyez]

I just found my favorite brush on formula. I did two thick coats two hours apart yesterday in broad daylight with at least two cop cars passing by on the busy road nearby without raising an alarm.

Today, I applied some wax and it's almost too slick. I'll update on the durability but for now, this is the best curb I've fixed.

so i brought a basic parking curb to my local in april last year and now its pretty beat up. there is a pallet of them outside in my condo complex rn. kinda thinking i should pull a quick heist late at night with the buddy's truck but it would be an intense deal. kinda like a "dont shit where you eat" type thing. what do you guys think

Definitely risky. I grabbed a parking block from my work parking lot and was looking over my shoulder for a couple weeks after…

flow your homie some weed/beer to rack it themselves on ur behalf. ez pz

Maybe check at a building being demoed. I’ve definitely seen them before just getting ground into dust like the rest of the concrete. I doubt anyone would care if you hauled one off.

[animalflesh]

Does anyone skate random unfinished parking lot edges and shit like that as well as curbs?



I was messing around on this one today

[aàáâäæãå]

Yes, we had an island like that near our local. You might want to try a “wallie” transfer on that bad girl if you haven’t already.

thats pretty much what curbs look like in my country.

Have the homie with the truck do it for you and toss em some cash/beer/weed or something

Anybody got slappy back tails? I watched that Brianna Delaney edit that Orchard spotlighted the other day and there's a slo-mowed back tail that made me think I might could get them too.

yeah but it's kinda more like a slappy 5-0 to back tail, it's hard as shit to sit on them, and hard to come out to forwards. I think the only way to make it not 5-0 to back tail would be to actually catch a miniscule amount of air from your back truck bashing the curb.

Jeremie Daclin does them on the Lyon tootsie roll. Obviously there's a tiny bit of tranny he uses like a qp, but I think this is the way to go. If you have a full 90 degree curb, you'll probably have to do a real 5050 slappy and turn into tail.

This is what mine looked like when I first learned them on real curbs 10 months ago. My favorite obstacle for slappy back tail is a bank to curb... it's the perfect trick for it, but I'd have to dig through my phone for footage.

The way Jeremie does them is what I was thinking. I'm fried and the clip I was thinking of wasn't slowed down but I hit it with the 0.25 and watched it at least 10 times. Here it is @0:16

not to debate trick names but that's a nollie back tail in my book 

[jakeumms]

Maybe so. I wouldn't call it strictly nollie since it's not popped but she's definitely using the nose so you may have a point. I think of it more as a zhuzh but that term may be meaningless outside of my head.

Gonna try your 50-50 to back tail too. Love a good front 50 to tail so maybe backside will work out too?

[144p]

Backside is pretty easy, you got it for sure,
I learned feeble to back tail before the straight 5050 though.

people call tricks without pop slappy to gatekeep, I call say tricks with no truck bash aren't slappy to gate keep. the tricks that don't fit either standard I typically think of as being mostly illegal, but that clip you posted was tight cuz of how he used the spot with the tight passage on the roll away.

I would totally call it a nollie back tail, and the way she did it at that spot was very cool. But doing them like that is cool on any curb.

I agree. I'll never bother to get upset about it, but if you are lifting your nose or tail, it's not slappy. That doesn't make the trick any more or less cool or difficult, and lord knows I have a bag of tricks I do this way. But those tricks aren't slappys.

I’ve done em but not here, next time!


For the record I powerslide into my backtails on curbs… no truck touch

[BartHarleyJarvis]

Is this anything?

We always called them 1 2 slides(1:huck 2:slide) definitely not a nollie. We did those in the 80s before noses/nollies were around.
