Rare tricks you’d like to see more often

[BreakfastSandwich]

Here are some tricks I think about that aren’t quite circus level, but are rarely seen.

Tasteful Switch FS smiths- Dan Murphy Mystery vid
Backside Fakie 5.0s- Daewon owns this one
FS 180 fakie FS crook- Snyder in Fulfill the Dream
BS 360 bs noseslide- JB up that euro gap to box

You guys and gals got any that come to mind?

Switch bs smiths are probably my favourite simple / straight grind tricks to see.
Chad TimTim and Matt Keale specifically but always want to see more.

I also really like regular kickflip fs 5050s, and straight switch 5050s (switch ones on rails).

Fakie pop shoves are underrated as hell.

sw shuv to back 50

Yo Wenning’s switch BS smith in Photo always gets me.

[Cord Winer]

Frontside half cabs into grinds like nosegrind or 5-0 or smiths. Nollie 180s to grinds I think you see more of but still cool. Frontside half cab to nosegrind 180 pop out on a ledge would be sick.

[wiggitywiggity]

Front 270 to back tail

This trick stinks! Backside is a different story.

I’ve been dying on the hill that I miss the simple Kickflip BS Noseslide to regular. Looks good but always overlooked.

[Gnarfunkell]

Proper angled backside noseblunts on rails. Most people seem to do them flat like a noseslide.

[skunty]

fs half cab fs feeble pop out on a ledge would also be dope

[The Ledge Button]

Been a while since a seen a proper Wooly Mammoth. The Greek had a good one.

[NoComply180]

Well done kickflip backside board slide. Kf front board was basically the trick of the 00s and still is super common but a well done kickflip bs board is rarer. Ed Duff’s on HH 16 stands out.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a straight up manual to fs/bs 180 out that was memorable. A high speed manual to bs 180 a serious gap or set could be really cool to see.

[WashingtonNECKTIE]

Indy fastplants, and regular BS fastplants too now that I think about it. Everyone is just going for bonelesses these days. Proper stretched out creepers could get some more love.

Did I miss a meeting where those and rocket airs were outlawed?

Great shout, Wenning has a mean one.
There's one I think he did on those white hubbas in Miami that I remember rewinding Alot, can't remember if that's in Photo or his DC part.

[Sloppy Krooks]

Backside bonelesses where the tail doesn’t drop below the nose

Tailblocks, especially where the front foot is tweaked


Rock and Rolls, Duane style, with the bottom of the foot pressed perpendicular to the edge of the tail

Bs 3s over shit with tweaked grabs

[rawbertson.]

kickflip body varial aka disco flip
I like Danny Gonzales did it to switch crook on an out ledge

[rolling is good]

Shifties
Reynolds did some good kickflip ones and they were more common in the 90s,
but they're not often seen.

Pop out of noseslides
Who ever did it apart from Drakes Jones and Welsh ?

For both there's an untapped world of possibilities.

Shifties

Someone out there could make an alley-oop shifty look so sick. My mind goes to Wilkins

[BreakfastSandwich]

I’m just gonna add BS heelflips because they rule. I may just be missing them.

[Scarecrow Radio]

Kevin Romars

[fall colors]

always loved frontside hurricanes and they seem pretty rare



Filipe Mota is really the only head that comes to mind doing them these days--just happens that he's doing them on big rails too. i've always thought they were fun as hell on double-stacked parking blocks myself...

[kookdusoleil]

Front 270 to back tail

I saw Nate Sherwood do one of these and I was hyped he had a clip doing something non-pressure flip related. However, if the trick is in Nate Sherwood’s bag, it should probably stay there - with respect to Nate.

[conan777]

It's not that rare but I'm a sucker for a good switch pop shuvit

[Plan9Customs]

Sweeper grinds, Russian boneless, no handed sweepers, & push carve grinds.

[Sifter]

Lopsided back smiths where the board is almost primo on the rail

Random one but have we seen Nollie bs shuv to bs 5-0 fs 180?  I've seen the trick fakie (carlos ribeiro) and it looks sick

[Cheshire Cat]

Layback rollouts (Like Ginger Steve or Lizzie Armanto)

[tropez tropics corp]

Fakie varial flips, kickflip body varial (sex change), salad grinds, street 540s. The first three aren't exactly super rare, but i would like to see more. The last is an unreasonable ask, and would probably have to be street hip 450s rather than true 540s.

[Hyliannightmare]

Fakie shove

[Allen.]

Gonna third fakie shoves. Everyone talks about Dill picking his board up and walking down the stairs but nobody talks about the fakie fs shove over that barrier. That’s psychotic.

[Binomial Nomenclature]

Frontside tailslide front shuv out. (RIP Van Wastell)

[SmashtheState]

Fakie to sw5-0 180 out, maybe it's weird to explain but here's a video of it. https://youtu.be/biGuo7dnSyw?si=w5hpkaguiok6WeSM

2:05 to 2:07 to explain.
