Rare tricks you’d like to see more often

[Szechuan]

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.

Nyjah did a really sick one down a hubba.

[Bony cawk]

a proper muska flip

[my english is bad]

Fakie bs 5050 down a rail or hubba

[I-am-12]

Back 180 to switch 5-0 to switch front shuv out on a ledge. Saw vincent touzery do it and I'm trying to find more of them. This might not even be rare but I don't watch much ledge skating so forgive me

If we’re thinking of the same one, that trick was sick, boggles the mind that he did fakie front bigspin into one too I think… anyway, I think that would technically be a fakie frontside blunt for the purists/dorks - “fakie Ollie to switch back noseblunt.” It might be the only thig Nyjahs ever done that got me stoked.

Anyways, the trick I’m talking is the second one in the line at 2:26

Yeah youre right! Im in full agreement on that one too haha.

Tasteful Switch FS smiths

No such thing im afraid. Switch fs smiths are something I feel like only a willy grind fan would try and willy grinds r purley smut.

(Say this as both dan and willy grind fan)

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.

Maybe Guy in Mouse? I'd have to rewatch

Thought Jerry lee hsuis did one on a picnic table
Spanly might've reposted it once saying imagine trying this

woah hell ya thank you

at about 1:55

seems way harder to do it straight on like that

[Onebadwheel]

I'd like to see long fs 180 nosegrind reverts on ledges. Maybe even revert out in the middle like a fs version of what Wieger does.

Good shout actually. I'd also take switch bs 180s out too.

I feel like we don't see enough salad grinds - fs or bs. As well as whatever you would call an overturned fs salad, like a bs 180 fakie bs salad on rails. That trick brought back round to regular stance too. Very rare.

And Bennett grinds too, even if it's not Matt Bennett I want more of them and more variations.

Big fan of a nice high popped slow rotating varial flip in place of a tre or other midline fodder.

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

[close]

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.

Spirit Quest might be one of the bookends of artful skating. Like whl was. I consider 03-13 just straight up jockism. Maybe it’s a peak? It’s hard for me to remember when it dropped. I do know that Emile Laurent is godt rn tho.

Big fan of a nice high popped slow rotating varial flip in place of a tre or other midline fodder.

I’m with you. I feel like varial flips are viewed by many as a budget 360 flip.

Same if you compare it to its heel comparison, most will take a varial heel in a line well before a v flip.

Idk, it’d be refreshing to see more clips/photos with these tossed and caught proper.

Is there a stank on this trick that keeps it from being more relevant?

I love v’s. When they start hitting your front foot super hard it’s like uhhhhhhh. I liked Tre flips better when not everyone could do them. Once it became the popping trick I went back to imps as my middle of line flat ground trick. Big spins too. I’ll always appreciate a big spin of any variety over the stock Tre.
Switch tre and switch big flip is a totally different thing tho. Nollie and fakie v are tops too.

[j....soy.....]

I don’t mind a quick snappy flip and a bone out….

[AsianVegan]

A big back 5-0 on a square handrail, I just watched Greco in 2G and that one never gets mentioned as much as all the other tricks on that session. Bring em back.

Franky Villani seems to have the exclusive rights to Bennets these days (which I don’t mind since he’s extremely good at them)

Good lord, that was insane. Was waiting for it on that first ledge, which would have been sick in its own right.


Another front shove, 180 ledge trick I always liked was switch front shove to back 5-0, 180 out like Wenning used to do.

Considering a fs 50-50 to nollie bs shuv out is considered an easy trick especially on a normal-sized ledge, it's no wonder one doesn't see it very often. But how about it on some gnarly obstacles like big hubbas or huge drops or steep handrails? Would probably gnar.

[Daewon_Stan]

Impossibles (especially up banks and pyramid hips)
360 FS Shove-its
Fakie FS Boardslides
Casper stalls on banks/quarter pipes

[Juicyflip]

Kickflip bs hurricane

[Cheshire Cat]

I love switch 5050s on handrails. Underrated as a rail trick.

Last big one I remember was Brockman's full heelside lock one on Hollywood 16.

[roba]

fakie back 50-50 on a handrail

I’ve a hard time imagining that but I definitely want to see one.
Made me think about bs crooks to fakie on ledges which can either be totally ass or a tasteful linking trick in a line. I personally like switch crooks to regular (even though I can’t do them…).
Anyway: bs crooks to fakie on a handrail.

[Pbn_jake]

I liked the nollie neutral (suicide?) grind Justin Henry did in hard reset.

Emile’s fakie fs 180 to fs 5-0 fs 180 out was cool too

[frank]

has hardflip bs noseblunt ever been done on a ledge/rail?

[Daewon_Stan]

has hardflip bs noseblunt ever been done on a ledge/rail?

It's been done a couple times at Skatepark of Tampa. Rodrigo Leal won best trick with it in 2012.


And Aurelian Giraud did a pretty badass one.
