is there a trick that just seems to evade you? something that you try over and over and cant seem to get? for me its been backside noseblunt slides. ive been trying this every fucking day for a month now and can never roll away. pisses me off to no end, but pushes me to go out and try harder.

what about you?

[Cue]

never ever been able to do frontside shuvits. backside i have locked, switch frontside are fine ...

given up trying now ...

yeah... i gave up on those years ago.

[rome1]

Hard flips, maybe have landed like three of them really good. Always getting scared for my balls and freakin out and bailing and shit....they really piss me off so I just kinda stay away now. Cause I kinda need my balls more than that hardflip.

[Felix]

ahh those fucking backside 180 kickflips....

[keri]

just standing on the damn thing eludes me, I fall off before it even moves. says she who couldn't ride a bike until she was 14....

[artificialsky]

the ollie.

hah.

weird. i can't do backside, but frontside are easy, because im moving my back foot forward as opposed to backward.

[Whodinihimself]

i havent skated in months...but i remember nollie varial flips being impossible...

...it blew even more that my skating buddy could do them with perfection heh

[krookedskater]

your foot shouldn't really go behind you on bs shuvs or in front of you on fs shuvs. It seems like that but you only put pressure on it in that direction and then lift your foot off in the opposite. I don't think i'm making sense but jaime thomas has a good bs shuv. look at the position of his back leg, its in front of him. I guess it makes more sense if you can 360 flip correctly (spread eagle method) it's the same principle but without putting your foot on that scooping curve, your back foot should be in the middle of the tail to stop it from scooping like a pressure flip.

[krookedskater]

backside overcrooks, and correct 5-0's on rails

[red]

i can never get the darkslide-off-a-random-persons-face down.

I read a thing once that said most people can do one way no problems, but struggle with the other - no idea why, but most people seem to be in the same boat

krooked - you are one of the choosen few

[cheapmuthafukr]

well.... a month or so ago i got that trick... landed at least 20 of them on a flat bar at a local skatepark.

now on to kickflip backside noseblunts..

[__3xL]

All I know is I need a powell bones tee-shirt ( or two ) in my size .. Or some rob roscopp shit

[M.O.A]

nollie heels and flips. Horrible. i feel terrible for not being able to do them after like 8 years of skating....

[Larry Bird]

^^^^

ha, i could only just nollie as well..could never get those flips down...could land a handful of stuff fakie though..

i could never get switch tricks down either..

[dumadiscount]

standard kickflips.... the whole reason i quit skating 8 years ago. bought a skateboard a few weeks ago determined to do kickflips and pop shuvits. have learnt 180s and bs shuvits. still trying to get the board to flip properly underneath me. i give it another 6 months

[ayn]

same here, someday I will learn

+1... hahaha!

now on to kickflip backside noseblunts..

I always thought that trick would be harder than it is... the b/s noseblunt seemed like the holy grail of slide tricks, but I was sliding them and getting really close within 5 minutes. I learned it on a flat bar too, but I'm not about to try it on a ledge anytime soon... as I will most likely kill myself:(

Anyone into skating bowls?

[dcrevolution40]

Fakie Big Flips...Fuck Them

I can do fakie big spins, fakie tres, and can do fakie bs flips, all that good shit. But I can never get the big flip!

[backinthetrees]

THE OLLIE
