I tried Lipslide 5-0s for a while until I landed a couple and stopped doing them. Did a few boardslide 50-50s too,while a buddy was learning them I quit that shit and he kept it up with any and every shuv-it out. Fully Flared got fuckers all into combos again, frontboard to front crook was the "show off" one I'd see a lot,even though it isn't too hard to do. Sort of glad it's over and I don't have to see a two page spread sequence of T-Puds flailing about.

how do you do a front board to front crook? it seems too hard to do, let alone make it look good.

[close]

The guy I saw do em' had quick feet. Front foot on the nose when you stop sliding to sort of do this weird pop/jerk/drag into a front crook, I figured if I just tried to get into a willy grind but shift all my weight on the nose I would lock in. It's fun on a curb when you're alone.

[close]

Wait hold up, this is a legitimately fucked up trick. At first I thought you were talking about the wack ass front board to nosegrind dink that some people do (think Paul Shier), but to turn a front board on ledge into a front crook is the most counter-intuitive variation I can think of. Coming from a guy who does front 5-0 boardslides and thinks they're sick (which they are)

On that note, if you front lipslide a ledge ever (along with most rails), you are most definitely a shrimp

[close]

Wtf are you talking about? Bad comment.  SAD!

[close]

So you're the cretin that's responsible for the local ledge having an entire layer of wax caked on top. Everyone is so bummed on you, dude

WTF front lips are the most fun ledge trick by miles! waxing the top of the ledge is a bitch move though. go fast and wake demons with your wheel screech

Lipslides don't necessarily require extra wax. Do you think people who powerslide down hills wax the ground?

[doomstation55]

A ledge lipslide is so much more satisfying when you go up to it mach 10. Idk, I don't like waxing shit unless it's completely necessary.

I've seen people get away with some really screechy unwaxed blunt/board/lipslides at Flushing Meadows, all of them implemented the little unwaxed shuffle you just mentioned. It was definitely a thing of glory...

Yeah dog but the key is that you are going downhill which gives you more speed. Not saying that you cant do a lengthy powerslide on a flat street but you have to be going fast. Hence the waxing of the ledges.

Yeah but it is easier to slide on a downhill powerslide than on a lipslide without wax. Thats where my argument was directed at. Obviously wax is not 100% necessary but it will definitely help especially if you want to slide a long distance.

The cutoff tight kr3w pants era is horrible to look back on, and I myself participated

Honestly, being 14-22 and dressing like a complete dickhead while thinking you look cool is a really important part of being a skateboarder.  Regrettable trends are always fun to look back on.

For me it was ‘03ish with my baggy jeans tucked just so behind the tongues of my ipath grasshoppers or Kenny reeds.  Also, one t shirt would never do.  Had to be two and the one one under the other one had to poke out a bit at the bottom,

I front lip ledges because I suck at rails and can only front 5-o bash them. I just picture busenitz and Rowley and somehow I end up all crooked, teetering on just the center of my board like I'm on a handrail until the end where I touch the back wheels down for the pop out. I always get complements on it but it's not one I really pull out often. I wish I could back lip but something about it just tells me i would get buckled
