Fakie 50-50, fakie hardflip out.

saw this in the old heads post here thread and was just as impressed re-watching it was i was the first 5 times, not like you posted 5 times, like i watched five times

[shark tits]

bs 180 fakie 5050 halfcab out. rolled up to the ledge the other day 'bad idea bad idea' and my buddy goes 'good idea good idea' and i landed one for one, batting 1000. i can do really crummy bs 180 nosegrinds so you'd think i'd have tried these before but i just never did. for yrs i was stubborn as a mule deer and wouldn't go outside my comfort zone so as an older gentleman i'm picking up lotsa stuff i could've had back then.

[Cameron Hoegee]

Learnt frontside nosegrind nollie front 1 out in like ten minutes today

[finknoos]

I dont really want to say learned because i probably wont have it tomorrow, but i spent the best part of an hour doing switch fs 360 no complies, an oddly satisfying feeling.

[A Not At All Naughty Chemist]

hardflip doubleflip. Boy do I dig those movements

[BraveUlysses]

Learned that fakie shuv switch no comply 180 that guy did in the Polar promo and I did a bunch of back tails today. After I landed the first back tail it was all I really cared about for the rest of the session.

i've been stuck on those the last month. some days i have em pretty good and others it takes an hour to land one. seems like every night i do my little routine of tricks i have then get stuck battling bsts til i get a few but they're part of my identity now so it drives me nuts not to have em.

I feel you on the whole identifying with certain tricks and feeling the need to get em back after losing them. With back tails as soon as I learned to be weightless on my front foot after popping they started to become much easier.

cheers to that and the fakie shove sw no comply is awesome. i seen the gif of dude doing it. that stuff is all greek to me but i can appreciate it.

Heelflip varial

I only landed two, but I figured it out! I've tried this trick for 15 years, including one session where I tried for 3 hours. I figured it out randomly by trying to flip a forward flip. I would always slide my front foot out forward, but sliding up and shoving my back foot harder made it happen. I'm pretty happy. 

[dirtyweemidden]

frontside boneless on tranny.. trasitions have never been my friend so i was stoked to roll away from a few of these last night

What's the trick for not snapping your board while flipping/shoviting to a boardslide or lipslide on a flatrail?

[chillclinton87]

still not what i consider "learned it" yet, but i?m getting along with bs 360s on flatground- still not satisfied with the way i do those, but i got closer over the last couple of weeks. and at the same time i figured out how to bs 360 no comply. stoked on these after nearly 14 years on the board!!!

If the board hits the rail before you catch it then you land on it you are likely to snappo. You need to catch the board fully (or have a lot of flow) then it becomes more like ollieing into it, also have heaps of flow so move your body for the whole trick dont just try and kicky boardslide lock in without trying to land, you have to think your gonna land or =no flow=more stiff lock in=snappo.

Also you want to have really good technique for flip/shuv into boards in particular, you need to land in a very specific part of the board after completing a well executed flip/shuv then catch. It can be more difficult to learn bcos of the number of boards potentially broken along the way... its not like learning flip 5-0 or something where you are highly unlikely to snap your deck so you can try for hours and eventually learn..

you will snap decks learning this trick so if you can afford it go fo it otherwise perhaps wait until your skill has advanced further.. GL

Thanks both for the advice! I've already heard the floaty thing before. My problem could also be that I try to learn them the insecure pussy way by doing an ollie too far by the end of the rail, already thinking about landing, which results in a hideous mash of a broken board and unsatisfying landing.

Fakie bs no comply 360/540
front nose to fake/270

[A Not At All Naughty Chemist]

this thing.

[Rusty_Berrings]

[Wizard Fight]

hell yeah dogg. can't see i've seen that one before and i've seen a lotta impossible variations. impossible sexchange (fs body varial) for those of ya who don't have facebook.

Nah dude I'm pretty sure the board wrapped around his heel so the trick was almost like a frontside bigspin. Frontside impossib-heel?

[chenzo]

Had krooks for like a week, quickly lost them.

[fookya]

finally figured out how to do good stand up grinds instead of slashing. As simple as it is I could just never figure it out.

[tidwid]

Slappy crook bs shuv on a decently high ledge.

I did a no-comply bs 5-0 yesterday, but I can't say I've learned it yet, since it was only one so far. I've done bs 50-50 too, so hopefully I can get those both down.

[Sanka Coffie]

fakie no comply and back 180 no comply but where you plant your foot down like a normal one and sort of trick your body into turning backside. I don't really know how to explain it but they're fun as hell

[BraveUlysses]

Front wallie back 180. Can someone point me to footy of someone else doing one? Been thinking that trick would be cool for a little bit now but I couldn't think of any ones I've seen even though it's not a crazy or obscure trick.

Only done those on banked walls. Definitely a weird one.
