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.

[close]

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

[close]

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.

[close]

Casey Rigney does a great one in an autobahn wheels part

[close]

I mean hell, while we’re at it, I’d just love to see more of Casey Rigney and all of his rare tricks. Dude fuckin’ rules!

[close]

The guy switch flip backside lip'd a handrail about 20 years ago ffs. Underrated as fuck.

Last trick, but the whole part is worth watching. Especially for the nollie 360.

[close]

This part is special! One of my all time favorites and it’s aged so well. Fast, HIGH popped and caught tricks. And to Talking Heads no less, perfect music supervision.

He does some goodies upon rewatch. Really like Nollie FS180 Nosegrinds down Hubbas and the the Nollie FS270 BackLip to Fakie on the table ledge was awesome! Made it look badass.

Yeah that updside down table nollie 270 slide stood out to me too. He's got a good nollie pop.
Solid part all around. Even without the insane ender it's fucing great.

Front nose down big shit. Coming straight.

And 540 on flat in a line. I think only luan got them on lock.

The Flatground Fakie 540 at 2:22 by Hartman Austin has always stuck with me. In a quick line too.

Quim & Daniel Kim throw out some tasty Regular & Switch Japan Airs in Spirit Quest as well.

1:41 & 4:05

I dont care about rare tricks anymore.

Im just sad that there will never be another video like Spirit Quest. Now we are stuck with Dickies video

[DirtyCheddarKids]

Pupecki grinds.

Came here to say this.

A good ole Japan Air like Carroll does 'em, for instance in his "lost" Dog/Pretty Sweet part at 3:58.

https://youtu.be/j8D7XswvV0U?si=n32FnsbweZy43OO8

Would love to see somebody do it in an otherwise tech line, for instance a Japan Air over a school yard hip or off a curb cut

[close]

John Shanahan has a good Japan grab. I can’t remember which part it was but he starts a line blasting one from a loading dock ramp or something like that.

On the topic: flatground grab tricks in lines.
Yeah why not. You remember Tony Manfre’s fs half cab tucknee?

Pete Eldridge would occasionally show up at FDR and do big Japan airs over the humps. I thought it was way cooler than his serious footage.

[jums]

Can't remember the last time I saw a back heel or back 360

You’re not kidding man. Rewatching that just to cite the Japan airs I noticed one minute of Spirit Quest is more edited and crafted than most vids these days. Painfully bland era.

This part is fucked, I’d never seen that before, or don’t remember the part at all. Didn’t this dude also Nollie Heel nose manny the courthouse, or am I tripping? Either way, dude was a  staple for a while, he was REALLY good, kinda feel like he didn’t get his due. Plasticbenchnerd also has a great part in this video. My bad I’m not even talking about tricks at this point, I’ll fuck off, Rigney was a beast though

[close]

He sure did! In his Get Familiar part

youtu.be/SWMhbdbjEcI?si=fB14q76CWDPhgVO9

I mean hell, another rare & similar trick to that in the Digital video. Nollie Heel FS Nosegrind down a handrail?! He did it so fucking well. What an amazing trick.

A lot of Back Heels in those two parts for those missing that trick, albeit mostly switch.

Its probably the most well made skate video of all time.

And its way ahead fo the seconde best

[fakiefs180]

Fakie shove

I am going to film one soon. Love that trick and I think I found the perfect bank for it.

I would also add fakie fs shuv and fakie fs bigspin. Justin Brock did some really nice fakie fs bigspins when he came to my local park 15 (?) years ago.

[Teethcanbesexy]

Somebody do a butterflip mid wallride, into a ride on grind, or down a massive gap

[Eh]

Caveman backlip.

[matty_c]

Sw pop shove to crooks to regs on ledge

[AnimalChinaski79]

jump ramp to wallride and inverts on flatground and probably nosepicks on parking blocks.

[coworker]

can any trick nerds here remember a video with a nollie back 180 to 5-0 half cab out? I want to try it and it would be nice to see it done... with the ledge behind you but seeing it with the ledge in front would be sick too.

[Mystical Leader]

Fakie bigspin,
preferably bump to bar

[coworker]

I swear Brad Cromer did a really nice one but I just watched like 8 parts and can't find it

[Jort250]

I can’t do em but nollie big heel in the sickest flip trick IMO

[whale]

It’s not. Your opinion sucks.

[rawbertson.]

Whales notoriously can’t heelflip

[Allen.]

Fakie Front shove. Everyone always talks about Dill walking down the stairs in The Line but he also fakie front shoves over a barrier thing from flat.

Fakie backside noseblunt - mid ledge preferred. For the inevitable arguments, I’m talking fakie Ollie to switch front blunt. Think Reynolds at Philly City Hall in that This is Skateboarding bonus part.

In his backside 360 no comply phase Spencer Hamilton did these….

[Southernmost]

Fakie fs heelflip. Proper not those little ones whipped around real quick. Lil Dre had one as his ender in the welcome to Girl part.

Miles Silvas did a really nice one at PSL but not sure where the clip is.
