Is it his fault that you guys don't know what the fuck you're doing? You guys try and get on him to fit in. All that does is make you look even lamer than you already do.

i remembered the secret to shove tricks last weekend...it's all about having the popping foot in the exact middle of the nose/tail, toe-to-heel-wise.  i'm not sure how much it matters if it's towards the tip of the nose/tail or the pocket, but i like mine more towards the pocket than a normal ollie.  i'd been struggling forever trying to get switch front shoves back and reg front shoves decent (i think i even asked about it a few pages ago), and it finally clicked -- popped and flat, every time.  just keep the ball of your foot just inside the pocket, close to the bolts.

Yeah for some reason they are easier for me switch than regular...

The best advice is to keep them
popped and flat

I learned them switch first. They've always been super easy switch. I didn't learn regular ones until a few years ago.

frontside nosegrinds anyone??  proper ones that you balance and can grind for long distances....

i can do shitty ones where you wax the shit out of the ledge and go super fast and just muscles the exit, but i want to learn them proper that people like chris roberts or biebel do....

i have a decent nose manny and i tried ollieing from the front end of the box but still no good....

anyone willing to share their secrets to this elusive trick?

i dont think there's any 'secrets' learning how to do proper nosegrinds, it's more about just getting comftorable trying longer nosegrinds and keeping your balance. just keep practicing them and you'll get it eventually.

^truth, all i got is stay square on top of it, or try it on a really sharp ledge, it tends to be harder learning them or a rounded ledge, being prone to falling off it.

and do a lot of nose manny's if you really despise your nose dragging on the grind
I rarely venture into classic slap and the one time I do it I find a guy getting his dick eaten by a dolphin.

worked on them today and if i may add a few pointers for future readers of this thread, i would say this:

speed, go slightly faster than you normally would
wax, loads helps
dont ollie too high into a nosegrind, ollie just high enough to have your front truck on the ledge and nose manny it... i literally had to force myself to stick my front foot closer to the front bolts to prevent myself from ollieing too high, which really did help....

thanks for your help guys, gnars all around!! hope this info is helpful to someone....

i can do switch FS shuvs( pretty terrible) but haven't landed a regular one in ages. 
actually i don't find myself skating flatground at all these days. 
i've been skating ledges, trannies, and mannies. 
fliptricks have become brain numbingly boring to me as of late.

Anybody got tips on blunt kickflip out on a quarterpipe?  Everytime I lock in and go for the flick, it just doesn't feel right, and I can't get the same pop out as I do with a normal blunt.
Okay I'm no master on these so I can't guarantee that this will work. First of all you have to be able to do blunts and kickflips which you obviously can. I'll try to do the blunt on these as fast as I can so I don't have time to think what happens next. Just kinda let it flow or something. You have to pop out harder than from a normal blunt so the board will come with you back to the ramp and not land on the coping or on top. Like doing a big ollie out of a blunt but only flipping it. My problem is usually that I can't get myself to land these so I'll try to think something motivating like "what would Cardiel do?" then I realize that I'm just a big pussy and make myself land it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. After you have done it and are really stoked and feel like a winner you must go home and watch cheese and crackers once again and realize how fucking amazing those guys are with their wooden sticks. I guess that's all. Good luck with them!

Ok, I was an underprivileged child, so I skated for like five years before I went to a skatepark for the first time, and still after eight years rarely go, but I decided to make the initiative to start going more often, and learn tranny and stuff.

I got the hang on mini-ramps, I can usually do 10 or so tricks before I run out of speed, but what I don't really get is how to pump up straight tranny. There's this pyramid I've been trying to ollie, but I can't get speed because i seem to loose it all as soon as I start rolling up it. any advice on how to use straight trannies to get speed? I know this shit is regular and something everyone learns when they're 12, but i'm tryin here!

i don't know what skatepark you're hitting up but its sounds like the pyramid at riverside park on 108th. 

when you drop in you gotta pump on the way down.  i don't know how to verbally describe "pumping" but its more or less generating speed shifting your body weight and using your legs/weight towards the bottom of the transition. 
you gotta get light footed rolling up/down it, then use your body weight and straighten you legs a bit when you get towards the bottom to generate some extra speed.
if you still don't have enough speed, get some strong pushes in there and hope you can setup fast enough for the ollie or whatever trick you're trying.

bs powerslides anyone?

like you're fs boarding an invisible flat bar

This is probably the dumbest tricktip request to surface yet, but I've always thought they look super sick, and I've had to avoid bombing hills with a backside curve cause I'd most certainly eat shit.

Just lean forward a lot, and as you slow down you'll feel yourself start to fall back, then you straighten out. It's more about committing and pushing it through then anything

Just do like, a shit load on flat, like ten a day on flat for a week or two till you can ride in the nollie flip position with decent speed without uncontrollably turning towards your toe-side, also practicing nollie flips with your flick foot closer to the center of the board rather than hanging off the edge will make it easier, otherwise when you hit the tranny, your body will compress and the placement of the ball of your foot will cause your board to turn and throw you off balance before you get to the edge.

Once you can do em' at a decent speed with the flick foot in the proper position, you should be good to go, just hit it with enough speed and sorta huck the board forwards when you pop so that you and the board both clear the hip. Also finding a reeeeal mellow hip should help you adjust comfortably durring these akward transitional nollieflip times we're in.


bs hurricaines on tranny? (like the bs boardslide way) I can only do them if I ollie into em', which just doesn't feel right. I see people just man-handle their way into the grind, and it just makes me really insecure about my penis size.

instead of trying to spin it underneath you, try to have it spin out in front of you.  i see people trying this trick a lot and it almost always goes behind them or they get lucky and stays right under them.  if you lean back a little and push the board out in front so you can spot the landing, it makes it much easier to see, catch, and roll away. 
hope that helps.
