Simple Shit You Never Learned

[jimi420]

lipslides scare me.

[Bob Loblaw]

consistent nosegrinds, crooks, nosemanuals have never panned out for me

[chockfullofthat]

I'm always pretty ashamed that I can't do axle stalls consistently and I can't back 50-50 quarter pipes.  I have no desire to learn them at this point either.  I suck pretty hard at tranny besides some front side airs.

Dude, I hear you.  My tranny game has always looked super underdeveloped because I could never string tricks together with backside 50-50s and axle stalls.  I never figured out how to sit on them with my weight back, I'd just tap both trucks on there and then come right back in.

So just read through this last page of the thread, so far the most common things seem to be:
Ollie, kickflip, backside 50, manual, nosegrind, crooked, shuvit.

DO YOU EVEN SKATE?

[Box of Frogs]

Frontside tailslides. Its impossible

Are you in middle school?  It sounds like you get picked on a lot.  I'm sure you're really good at skating though, so that's good for you

I can do 'em, but a regular kickflip will never be my cup of tea.

Haven't landed one in months. They feel so weird that i only do them in a game of SKATE.

I feel like that one gives a lot of people trouble.  Can you do frontside pivots?

[corto]

I've always sucked at skating ledges, although that's the type of skating I respect and like to watch the most. Over the years I've lost bs 5-0s, fs tailslides, crooks. I've never been able to bs nosegrind or bs tailslide, but now I've set myself on a skate program to learn both.

On a related note, I have two tricks I wanna learn before death collects me: ss 360 flips and bs tailslides.

[landCow]

i can do them but i fuck up a lot of frontside 180s. its embarrassing. I dont claim to be great but in a game of skate i'll do some tech wizardry flip flop fangdoodle flip trick but then fuck up a frontside 180. like i said embarrassing.

Yea, but hitting the coping at that angle just feels weird to me and it's hard for me to commit

[Mein Fuhrer! I can walk!]

My ollies are terrible. I can do it and I get up fairly high obstacles and all, but I never feel like I can control a good, solid ollie. My back foot always comes off and I feel awkward when ollieing shit. My kickflips on the other hand are much more solid. I'd much rather try a kickflip over something than try and ollie it.

This,and bs 50-50s and 5-Os on ledges

[IanBZHD]

bs 5-0s on rails, flatbar, round or square, always flip outta them and eat shit. I dont understand how people do them so good.

[wuust]

front crooked. how people do it, is beyond me!

[TheNAC]

Everyone can hardflip. I've taken every piece of advice and I'm still clueless. The closest I've gotten recently is 360 hardflip landing with one foot. I was getting close last year, but now, oh god it's horrible.

[TheNAC]

Try just getting into it on the bottom stair of something. Then before you try grinding warm up with front nose slides. For me, they're super easy, like I'm more comfortable with front crook than 50-50s.

All Bluntslides.
BS tails are the bane of my existance.

I was like that with Inward heels. Then randomly after 10 years BAM! Had them. Just keep trying

[pile]

back 5-0's. for some reason, they scare the shit out of me.

[I Can't Think]

Bs 50-50's I have no idea why

FS Flips, landed a few that felt really nice, but I can never seem to get them consistent and even trying to bail them looks shitty now.

first: get the feel for them by learning to pop from the the front of the ledge/curb into a back 5050
next up: ollie and aim with the back truck first.
good luck

i'll try it when i'll have a correct ledge

Thank God I'm not the only one! I'll 3 flip a 10 stair before I frontside 180 a 3 set.

Appreciate it, I'll have to give that a try when it stops raining.

[sufodiv]

kickflips, have never been confident with them but can do tricks that involve kickflips very easily.

[midwestmiddleman]

Ollies.
WAIT... Let me elaborate.
I can do ollies, it's just.... See, I learned how to ollie riding super duper tight trucks back in the day. I had them down pretty good. I remember even ollieing over a cone one time that was just a little bit under waist high (which was the highest thing I have ever ollied even to this day).
But eventually, as I kept skating through the years, my trucks got looser and looser, and as they got looser I had to kinda relearn almost all of my tricks on looser trucks, just because it was so different from riding super tight. I pretty much have all of my tricks down now on looser trucks and im pretty much too used to doing all of my tricks on looser trucks now, but one trick that continues to suffer from my change in riding looser is ollies. I can still do them, but they're so low and dragged out feeling now, as opposed to before when I used to be able to float them. The highest I can ollie right now would be about knee high, and even then I have to work for them to get them that high. If its anything over knee high I start having trouble making it over the obstacle. I can do some pretty damn high kickflips and front shoves, but for some reason I cannot pop high ollies. When I step on my friends board who has super tight trucks I can still do some super high ones, but when im back on my board they suffer again.

aye yo im sure i rock my trucks about as loose as you and my ollies are higher then most of my tight truck rockin friends. try to get them fairly vertical and jump forward off your back foot and remember to lift that back leg as high as the front one. i also find that really thinking about and  observing every motion my body is doing helps to make my ollies much more dope!!!another thing i have noticed is that the amount of pressure on your feet before the Ollie can change the outcome. but really try to breakdown every movement and dynamic involved and im sure your ollie will take you to new heights in no time!  ::)lookin ass.....
