Why can’t Lil Wayne kickflip?
« on: June 20, 2022, 03:08:40 PM »
Like it’s not that hard. I feel like if I’d started at whatever age he did and had a bunch of pros wanting to hang with me I’d at least figure those out.

Cus he can barely ollie. Last thing I saw from him he couldn't even pop into a 5050, all ride on grinds.

I've seen literal children force kickflips after a day or two, no reason why he couldn't land one. Maybe he's too busy pumping out mediocre music and being rich. Maybe he just used skateboarding as a marketing gimmick? I know that's NEVER been done before by ANY celebrity.

I’m on the boat where I think kickflips are a bit hard to learn. First flip trick for most people; a different game and bigger consequence if you miss than a shuv or 180 type of trick. It took me some time to figure it out rolling.

My guess is that he probably doesn’t skate as much as he wants to and when he does, he wants to do tricks he already knows

I don’t think he skates consistently enough, I imagine he’s an extremely busy guy

Jamal Smith and Peter Hewitt can’t kickflip either and they’re sick.

Edit- and AVE said somewhere that he can’t do a regs kickflip anymore.

Lil Wayne’s skateboarding style and trick selection is so bad it’s to the point where it’s actually amazing.  Last clip I watched of him he boardslide a foot and a half high flat-down rail without popping his tail.  It was like some sort of unintentional pressure/slappy boardslide that I couldn’t replicate if I tried for hours.

Cos he still drops homophobic slurs into his shitty music.
Now, we used to say we put on our tights to put on the world. So I don't think it tarnishes the image at all.

There I go thinking the only thing lil Wayne and I had in common was wanting to clap nicki’s cheeks and being kinda scared of C-Muder.
Well I have like 9 Andy Anderson dated flight decks.

I’d rather see him no comply flip like maybe off a parking block on a hubba of into an a frame.

I bet if I skated his park I could show him some killer shit better than a rocket kickflip

I bet he’s like me. Fakie heels. That’s my sting one. Half cab heel with in 3.

I throw down all switch and shit. Bone the fuck out of it.

Lil Wayne should be doing non compliance combos. It fits the style.

Back side flip might also be way cooler too. That might be worth it.

No, he can only ollie odd.

Dude does mouth kickflips, fuck Tha Carter 2 was so good.

He is good. I have the Milli single with the instrumental version. One of my favorite records. I used to mash up that with helmet’s unsung.

Super heavy shit was a perfect fit.

If I learnt to kickflip at 35 years old, having not skated for 12 years... any skateboarder can.

It's more of a psychological block IMO. When I was a teenager I pretty much convinced myself I couldn't and never would learn them- approached it with a different mindset in my 30s and suddenly there it was.
