nose manuals, I wish I could do them
I'll never be confident with 5-0s, and I can't tailslide. nose based grinds/slides feel better to me
hardflips
feeble grinds

nosmanuals are easy, just keep your weight exactly over the front bolts and practice

grinds

all the grindable stuff near me is about 2 foot high and my pop sucks ass, thinking about trying crooks on saterday

what do you think is the easiest grind to learn other than 50-50?

5-0s are pretty easyto learn. they get really fun when you take them around curves.

Heelflips. Everytime i try it either rolls on the ground or goes verticle. A black guy that can't heelfip is pitiful

Well first off, it never really learned how to do flip tricks down stuff. I've ollied a 15, I've feebled a twelve, I've impossibled down a seven, but that's my go to and one of the three tricks I can actually take down stuff. Like seriously, kickflips are something I'd be stoked to take down something people would probably take it down everyday. I guess it's because I grew up trying to do stuff nobody was doing that I just didn't learn the stuff everybody knows.

Same here with kickflips.. I ollied some big stuff, but I only kickfliped a 7 stair, few years ago, but I was a kid. Nowdays, I cant even think of doing it. Gaps and Stairs arent for me anymore.. I can ollie, fs or bs 180, same with switch, but no flip tricks ever.

^ Well yeah. It's not like theres a real reason (unless you think it's really fun) to jump down huge shit and hope to catch your board unless your a pro getting paid to do it. Theres a huge potential for eating shit and if you just bail and land on your feet your feet still get hurt.

nollie heels i had them soo good a couple years back and now i cant do them for the life of me, nollie flips are were its at though!

jimi420 · « **Reply #254 on:** February 09, 2011, 06:42:44 PM »

This is going to make me sound like a kook but i can't pump. I mean i can pump enough to get lip tricks but i can't get going fast enough to do anything sick. My tricks on tranny are fs/bs rock, front disaster, and fs 5050. All we have in my town is a mini. We used to have a bowl at an abandoned hotel but it got torn down before i could even skate it.

GISM · « **Reply #255 on:** February 09, 2011, 08:14:11 PM »

Anyone have a tip for bs ollies on tranny? My board flies away or I get into a tailslide somehow. I've seen some who don't even pop and it still looks good

all id be able to say is: just after you pop bend your back knee so its barely touching the board then push down (and backside) with your front foot and itll loop the board round. i dunno i cant ever seem to explain how to do tricks

gaunting · « **Reply #257 on:** February 13, 2011, 03:27:26 PM »

backside 50 50.

Spike Hawke · « **Reply #258 on:** February 13, 2011, 03:43:42 PM »

other than tre flips, back lips, crooks, impossibles, hardflips, nollie flips, switch flips, airing above the coping, stand up stalls on tranny and general consistancy. i got some work to do

backside 50 50.

Just got these recently on a tiny park ledge. Roll up kinda fast on a slight angle and just try to ollie forward onto the ledge, trying to go sideways will make you stick. I guess that's a pretty shitty trick tip.

Been trying crooks forever but I always stick. Starting to think it's because I'm aiming for the middle of the truck.

Less pop, more scoop.

For help on tricks, take a gander at the trick tip series done by the Governator.

can't do any nollie flip stuff, never done a back 50 50 either.

same here we should form a posse, nollie flips and back 5050 just seem to hard for me... sometimes i fell like i should force myself to take one or two days and only try bs 5050s... but after 15min it bores the fuck out of me and i start doing something else...

Frank the Rabbit · « **Reply #265 on:** April 10, 2011, 12:53:09 PM »

I can't ride fakie from tranny, well, i can but like 1 out of 10 times.
Bs ollies and fs flips are impossilbe to me..

RajeevWins · « **Reply #266 on:** April 11, 2011, 12:43:42 PM »

I can frontside crook for great distances, but anytime i try backside crook I'm stopped dead in my tracks. I have also been at war with nollie flips for approx 4-5 years. Its to the point where if some one sets one during SKATE I get extra angry and quit even if I'm winning. Its like they know my secret and did it on purpose just to spite me. Fuck you for doing that. Fuck you nollie flip

CUDDLEMONSTER · « **Reply #267 on:** April 11, 2011, 01:46:14 PM »

360 flips. i know it's become a staple trick or whatever but for some reason i hate trying them so i never learned them. i don't even want to anymore because if i do somehow flip it right it's all low and i know i look unnatural as hell. maybe my brain just isn't wired for them because i can't even do them in ea skate.

same, by the time that i thought about learning them i was seeing kids who could barely roll along doing them so horrably that i lost all motivation to even attempt them

BraveUlysses · « **Reply #269 on:** April 13, 2011, 03:08:09 PM »

I still can't push. I just lay on my stomach and paddle with my arms. Once I get enough speed from my arm paddles I hop on the board like a surfer would for an approaching wave and shred.
