SO I'm not going to lie.. I thought riding an oldschool board would be easier than it is
Was trying to get switch no complies on my new setup and started adding this grab in there for support through learning.. So what is it, a switch no comply nosegrab?
Or is it nothing special? haha.. I thought it looked pretty cool anyway.

Nice to see new footy from you.

It's on the way to being a switch no comply nosegrab body varial, not quite there yet.
Each time you either took two steps and/or still had your foot on the ground at the time of the landing.

As awkward of a trick that is, make sure your not taking more steps than necessary when stepping back on board.

It's a body varial? Haha..
Dude I always do 180 with my body for switch no comply
Feels more natural to me to come out regular.
The Oldschool board was great for cruising I will say..
but started to try my tricks on it haha I don't know.. still breaking it in.
I'll make a no comply vid soon, after I progress a bit more.
I will probably be doing quite a few body varials.

Try to make it simply one step during the trick, I know pawn and fecal already said it.
It'll pay off in the end, adds difficulty and looks smoother.

fuck it, make it no steps. Switch ollie body varials give MAAAAD letters in games of skate.

That is a crailgrab since you grab it with you back hand. Or switch crail I suppose, if you're going switch.
As the other said, try keeping it to one step. Get it!

We skated on shit heavy as a ton of bricks back in the day.
You get used to it. Switching to new school boards was a pain.
Everything keeps getting lighter and lighter. I remember
my first swap to a ns deck and I went to do a shuv-it and
kept busting my ass because I was spinning the board 360/540
from the same pop I only got 180 on from my previous
setup.

The only thing from old boards I miss (besides graphics)
is the durability. Unless you had a Powell-Peralta Boneite,
Santa Cruz Foam, other other "new material" deck they
just seemed more solid back them. I remember buying
a Roskopp foam deck, going outside the store and setting
up, then breaking it on the second ollie I did over a parking
block... POS!

Yeah man, I'm starting to get that..
I'm getting my other tricks on it slowly.. I guess I'm just used to a different feel.
Starting to skate in the mornings again.. Love that shit.. starting the day off right.
I was kind of bummed getting this oldschool board and feeling so in place on the light one
but once I started to feel it out it's a nice chance of pace.
It has some benefits but we'll see if it holds up haha
I always thrash my board non intentionally.. even then I have skated boards
that were down to nubs with wheels that had flat spots so bad it made noise when I rolled through.
I'll make use of it even if It gets torn up.. but it's thicker, wider.. Should be good for a while.
