Switch Nollies.

[Goon_Panda]

Whenever I do a switch nollie in S3, the little trick indicator in the HUD tells me I'm doing an ollie. I'm guessing this happens to everyone else? Does anyone know why?

[fallingskyline]

a switch nollie is just a fakie ollie imho, if you skate in so called "real switch" the engine will always tell you crap about the trick you did, since it doesn't realize you are riding switch correctly. but on the other hand when you do a ride in real switch and you do a nollie (flicking top down) you are doing a switch ollie were it just says nollie, which is correct from the engines view... hope that makes any sense to you ;)

and I'll also add that a switch fakie nollie is exactly the same as an ollie. Thankyou falling. I now understand why this happens

hahaahahhahaa

but yes i remember in the 80s when we first got into the lingo.. was no interwebs back then, only source of the culture was a wornout old thrashermag from 1985 or smtn.

i do remember us using phrases like; "chineese ollie" for popping ollies with the nose (aka nollies) and we initaially called heelflips "antiflips" because they rotated the other way than kickflips..

chineese ollie antiflip anyone? =)

for the reason bohemian posted, i still call manuals wheelies and inwardheels insideheels... and in my next life i'll study skatelinguistics as a foreign language

btw, who's familiar with pretzelway outs??? ;)

I believe a chineese ollie is where you pop up off a crack without ollieing.
