A hardflip ( attempt ) that doesn't actually go frontside 180 and flip ( think muska flip but without your body turning ), it also kinda looks like a pressure flip but takes way more effort and is super frustrating ;)

Damn it ... the bane of my existence and now I won't be able to blame you when I get a pair!

not my most recent but you can see the struggle is real ...




yo i think we might be hardflip twins, i have a similar ratio happening

hardflip to illusion ratio also approx 5050

Got mine in the mail today, so sick! Haven't had a chance to skate in them yet but they're comfortable and the cupsoles feel sturdy without feeling like 2x4s tied to my feet.

My reason for posting now is just to ask, does Beatrice really wear size 10.5?

ungzilla, don't be so hard on yourself man, that one looked great to me!  But I feel your pain.  I stopped doing frontside flips regular ( switch are fine though  ??? ) all together because I couldn't figure out how to not muska flip them.  I haven't given up on the hardflips yet though

Fuck yeah, glad you got em. Keep me posted.

Nope, she's a 9, the samples she has are her size.

Hardflip proof. File this under "I'm 41 one now so I'm counting it" aka "if it was on defense in a game of SKATE I'm taking that too."

damn that was a carroll approved hardflip, illusion ratio close to zero. i like where this thread has ended up.

haha, no worries! i actually kinda like a little bit of a borderline hardflip...

fs flips on the other hand, i've got the opposite issue as you, regular, can do em reasonably-but-not-reynolds flat, but switch they are muska as fuck, and i don't like it at all

ps baravettski: all black high tops, just sayin.

black high will definitely happen at some point, if not at the launch, second run I reckon.

Stop getting so hung up on your hardflips. All those looked good and if you're not trying to go pro, fuck it. You are al killing it.

The last hardflip I landed was at least 10 years ago. Those hardflips look great guys.

I'm over here still trying to get a decently consistent 360 flip. Haha

I generally don't like white shoes as I feel like a nurse in training wearing etonics or some other weird orthotic shoe. I got a pair of white leather and gum Puma court stars last spring and really dug the colourway.

Your bruin-esque model really does look amazing. What's the model name going to be?

Everything looks so good! Especially the green Conquistas!

But one question will determine if I can care about this company: do you make 7.5s?

Not on the first run, half sizes will start at 8.5, hopefully down the road though. Sorry, I know that sucks.

Everything about these shoes sucks from the name to the uninspired rip-off designs.

Working on this catalog over here...

The all black one on the left with the saddles has an unpictured white colorway too right? I want to see more pics of that.
