I usually do it if I'm in my skate shoes (sometimes I cruise/do transportation in my chillers). I like giving em a trick or two. Not just for them, but it keeps me stoked if I can pull it on command when there's a lil self induced pressure.

Depending who’s asking, I’ll either say “no thanks”, or this 360 sweeper sorta thing I have in my “old man bag” (frotnt foot off like a no-comply, grab the nose with leading hand, spin f/s on the tail).
Then keep it moving.

(360 Toma slide is probably the proper terminology)

Last time was a dad of a kid in my daughters school class but I was on a krooked rat with clouds, 1/4 risers, and super loose 129s, much to my surprise it worked and I rolled onwards into the sunset with a warm glow inside without a look back.

even tho i dont have em yet i still try and they usually appreciate the effort

then i congratulate myself for giving in to a random strangers demands and reinforce my belief that i have no power in this world

then i push my wooden toy home and cry myself to sleep

The lowest possible flip I can do, like maybe roll it on the ground if I can manage.

I was once asked to "grind" while skating down a side road with absolutely nothing to grind. I think it's just the only skate terminology they knew so they just tossed it out there. I just shrugged.

Last time I was asked I just did a heelflip because I'm more confident in them. I honestly have only been asked twice that I can remember and I've been skating for 25ish years.

There's an apartment building overlooking my curb spot. A while back, a bunch of jock bro types were having a party on their balcony and started yelling out " do a kickflip". I was warmed up, so I did one, and they went absolutely apeshit with joy. They also left me alone after that.

If you can easily do one for someone, it's usually the best option.

In most circumstances, though, people yell that shit when I'm on my way somewhere ( with a backpack on ), so I pretend I don't hear it.

I poop on the windshield of their car and walk away with the satisfaction I have done the work of God.

Got in the habit of making a kicking motion with my leg and flipping them of.

Ye old kick and flip, my guys and girls.

Insult them and call them a bitch, continue on a tirade of insults and miscellaneous skateboard history until they're intimidated by my coolness and knowledge and leave

I was practising tre flips today when an obnoxious kid repeatedly asked me if I could kickflip. I told him: Of course I can kickflip, don‘t you see I am practising tre flips, do you think I would be doing this if I couldn‘t kickflip? He apologized and left. Checkmate

I stop and explain the complexities of wheelbases and the intricacies of shoe toe design and how darn tough it is to land those pesky tricks when your board is a tenth of an inch too long and it's not just because I suck at kickflips

How many of you are walking around with the constant need to shit? Or if the need isn't there, how do you shit on a whim? Asking for a friend.

This happened to me yesterday.

Did you not see me just 3 flip? Why’re you asking about a kickflip?

After that it was:

How long have you been skating?
do you fuck with tony hawk?
hey can you put on this t shirt from my brand and let me take a pic of you doing a trick?

doctorkickflip · « **Reply #145 on:** June 04, 2022, 07:32:20 AM »

I ask them “what is a kick flip?”
