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.

totally feeling this post.

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

Thats some little bitch shit right there

Nollie flips are always on and off for me, I'll have them for a week or two, then have to relearn them again, it's weird.

douchepickel · « **Reply #276 on:** April 21, 2011, 01:39:38 PM »

I'm still trying to figure out how to make it look like I can do a trick when I know I can't. Like when the session is getting heated, and everyone is watching, I can't bail in the middle of the trick, and yet make it look like I was about to land it.

ArmitageShanks · « **Reply #277 on:** April 25, 2011, 02:31:36 PM »

Kickflips are the one simple flip trick that I've always had problems with! My switch and nollie flips feels more comfortable...

Me too, same with nollie heels. To me ,it depends on a day, sometimes I can have them for a month, every day, and they feel great, and then, I play a Game Of Skate, and I cant land them to save my life.

Frontside Flip.
They are hard as fuck for me to do.

ivegotlevitation · « **Reply #280 on:** May 01, 2011, 12:30:55 PM »

I can't do nollie or switch heelflips. I can do other nollie and switch heelflip tricks, but not those. I still can't do switch pop shoves, and I can't do a good backside heelflip to save my life. I can do it pressure, though.

I've never even bothered to try nollie or switch heels.
I don't enjoy heelflips very much

LOU.502 · « **Reply #283 on:** May 05, 2011, 05:32:12 AM »

this just motivated me to go learn varial heels and frontside flips without the turning 90 weight on the front truck pivot scenario

Hercules Rockefeller · « **Reply #284 on:** May 05, 2011, 05:34:52 AM »

proper axle-stalls on tranny. i?d rather stand there in feeble or smith position, i dont know, i suck.

Nollie Heels. Can do them 180 fs or bs. Not straight away. They always want to go up my ass.

catfood · « **Reply #286 on:** May 15, 2011, 03:22:41 AM »

Slappy, I don't know if it's the curbs I try them on or if I'm just doing it completely wrong.

Frontside tailslides so damn hard.

used to have to same.

what worked for me was really focusing on the pop and then the heelflip

Smiley · « **Reply #289 on:** June 11, 2011, 11:12:23 PM »

Full Cabs. Annoying in skate but legendary for the history. Got em' Nollie both bs and fs, but can never even get close fakie

friendly dave · « **Reply #290 on:** June 12, 2011, 01:24:31 AM »

Get a good wind up, and swing that shit around. Your shoulders should already be turned 90 degrees by the time you pop.

finknoos · « **Reply #291 on:** June 14, 2011, 02:31:36 AM »

never bothered with tre flips because whenever i tried them id just get a "varial double flip effect" but on saterday i started flicking my back foot ina weird way that i havnt tried before and now i get the perfect flip every time, only problem is i cant get my back foot on. hopefully ill finally have them soon, it seems like tre flip is the new kickflip

Im gonna take your advice because i also do some kind of varial double kickflip when i try 360 flips. I still cant do backside 180s, i think i have to get more comfortable in the switch position. How long does it usually take to learn how to push switch? i feel like mongo switch has lost its nostalgia.

janky858 · « **Reply #293 on:** June 16, 2011, 11:26:57 AM »

i have possibly one of the worst regualr and fakie kickflips... i can tre, fs flip, variel(if that even maters) bigflip, etc. i just have a really bad rocket kickflip that i will never do down anything more than like a 4 stair... but yet i can sw flip/nollie flip very well... dont know what happened there just hard for me for some reason..

FS Shuv will always be a bitch for me. my switch ones are just fine....

The trick too these like someone said before is think of clicking your heels together. Actually the way I learned them is by doing them fakie. Also remember that you have to slightly jump back when doing them which makes them kind of tricky.

Back 180s and fakie bigs can suck my dick

Anyone got any tips for bigflips?

Dont really try.

pica · « **Reply #298 on:** June 21, 2011, 01:32:14 AM »

think of it as overturning a varial flip. sounds weird but works for me.
sometimes.

The way I do it is by keeping my front foot flat whenever I scoop with my back foot.
