Yeah I guess haha I got some more stuff on slappies today.. stall variations. 360 manual spin 180 pivot 5050 tap 180 piv out and pretty close to hurricane taps in the same sequence its all one motion when I get em perfect. Did a 1 footed powerslide to blunt too. Keeping momentum is the hardest part not that consistent yet but I had a few makes of them all. Manual spins into slappies is probably the most awkward thing ive done yet but they are so fun.
Got a couple real long nose manual stalls on a bank. I wanna shuv out
trying to get consistant tres, fuckin hard

Nice, Pawn. one footed manual stalls maybe? haha Ive never tried them but I have manual to dropped off the side of a quarter treat it like a manual turn around but hold the manny and drop off the side. Fun, Awkward, sideways. Good luck with tres hobbs fakie and switch was the only way I could get those I got closer to laserflips actually. Id like to relearn varial heels sometime.
oh yea antwan tres are hard, but lazers???? holy shit dude. i can varial heel, those are fun
"Release your inner homo" - Valleyboy420
Yeah Im weird like that. I got kickflips before heelflips but was closer to lazers than tres in my regular stance varial heels came pretty easy too. Ive been having fun with oddities haha. Im gonna work on fliptricks inbetween stuff when I skate it would be nice to have them again.

Thanks dude. Its the slowest most awkward spin haha
Primo 360 manual spin shuv manual shuv
you are so flat techy its scary...

Watch me attempt kickflips, now that's scary haha
Got a no comply manual on a pad that's just under knee high.
Well the weather has been awesome need to skate soon. I got tripple bullseyes in darts consistantly aswell as beer pong shots off the wall though if those count as tricks.
You should try frontside no comply fakie manual. It's in fact the only way I've been able to fakie manual since fakie ollies up things are so hard to time and switch ollies, well, fuck those.
Never had the 180 no comply variation. It's weird, I see so many people that can do em but can't do a straight no comply
And come to think of it I never fakie nose manual, always found them the hardest, and that's including switch, one foots and hang tens haha
i just started getting back into skating after a pretty sketchy 5 month hiatus. on and of for weeks at a time, im getting back into things.
so far im relearning heelflips, bu ti can still throw out a lazer flip and 360 flip whenever i want. I think i want to learn switch flips again too but i feel like i have no pop in my back foot whenver i go to do one, so my leg just stays down. and then when i DO try to pop hard the board never get a good enough flip and i just end up looking foolish :/
IM A BOSS ASS BITCH
Switch flips and nollie flips are so fucked for me lol whenever i try, and have been trying for years, i can't even seem to come close to them. I used to have nollie/switch heelflips like nothing, but for some reason it just doesn't work for me...
But thats sick that you're getting back into it though dude!
So no one here has no comply 180s then?
I tried to mess with em the other day..
Hard to get that front foot out of the way.
I've got no comply shuvs but that twist makes it difficult.
I can do them, super easy once you get comfortable.
Frontside no complies are the easiest, then you can step it up a notch and go for the pivot to make it a 360. Going backside, like this, is hard but fun to mess with as well.
Love these kinds of tricks when taking a break from the really challenging stuff
I tried them again today..
Just can't get them going for some reason.
I feel lost.. like I've never done anything related before!
When in fact I can do 180s and no comply shuvs.
I did get a strange variation today though, actually helping me spot my flips and land no comply tricks.
No comply, Knee flick?
Kickflip motion with the knee.
I was popping it a bit more vertical than I should've and noticed it flipped half way..
started flicking with my knee haha.
Landed 3, I was stoked anyway.
Fakie big spin 540 manual spin shuv
Primo tre flips
Nice pawn, setup a tripod like I do and show us
Had one of my longest sessions in a long time yesterday hope the weather lasts
I learned front lip, front reverts on one of the quarters at our park a couple days ago.
It's the ender in this video.

Do you always revert at the hip?
Was it you who did that blunt shuv switchup that was pretty sick
Vert skating has to be rough, I haven't even dropped in yet.. that full momentum
I'm betting it's worse than a bail down some stairs.
I also have this image burned into my brain
Vert skating should be fast, fluent, anything taking too long up there should be compensated for
I've never done much of it I guess all I'm saying is I compare what I see to what pros are doing
Never really noticed it until now but I do, Pretty consistently too.
It seems like it might be fun to mess with even if just for quick little stall shit
but the thought of bails fucks with me.
Skating streets my shit though, on a good day I can usually find something to hit get a trick and move on
hitting 9-10 spots.
You seem to be confusing tranny skating with vert. I stick to dumb circus tricks on small quarterpipes because i'm too much of a pussy to try anything decent on quarters that are 5+ feet. You go ahead and try that blunt, shuv to fake and tell me how fast you get it though. I'm not a pro, not even an amateur, so don't compare me to that shit, simply because I cannot even come close to any league of theirs.

That's just it, I don't skate what others are skating.
I've seen those comments already, I'm used to it.
Sometimes you just need an outside perspective.
I'm not saying go pro but if you're skating vert why not just work on getting it quicker?
If you're just screwing around with new tricks that's different.
I honestly don't even worry about how it looks unless someone says something
I have come to appreciate that and I hope you guys haven't stopped looking.
It just sucks when you're car-less living in a real busy area so I use what I've got.
Clean, perfect, whatever.. but I'm not rolling back into tranny..
You can apply anything to everything if you want to but I would be stoked to see you doing quick variations with shuvs and shit in there.
It would be sick.
Again, i'm skating tranny, not vert. That trick was new, never landed it before getting it in that video, I always work on my tricks to get them faster and more clean, whoever doesn't go through that process with their skating is a moron.

I've been having a really fun time lately skating because I've been more focused on learning new stuff. Been getting a pretty nice pop lately on my ollies so now I feel secure with riding down streets and ollieing up sidewalks and such. So I've been seshing this bank that you have to ollie up to. Hoping to land a ollie up, pop shuvit in the bank and riding out fakie. Gonna have to practice a bit more to get "faster feet" so I can land it.
Anyways, having probably my best times of skating right now. Been skating for about 5 years, but I was so terrible before at actually trying tricks. For about my first 3 years I only bombed hills, did manuals and ride back and forward in ramps. In other words, stuff I don't need to ollie for

Just cruising down the street is sometimes the most fun I have these days while skating haha such a fun feeling. That bank you have to ollie up seems like a fun spot. Once you get comfortable poping up stuff, you'll be able to land having your feet set just about right for whatever trick you're trying. Fun stuff though, keep at it dude!I've been having a really fun time lately skating because I've been more focused on learning new stuff.

And sick tricks in that video btw Derk, I suck at tranny haha I can do the most basic shit, but your "circus tricks" as you call them are dope.
Well, I'm pretty much over this conversation but I feel like I left on a sour note and that's not what I'm about.
Skating is a happy thing.
My response is more in reference to the videos I have seen with similarities..
Maybe You weren't skating vert but a guy in your video was.
The thing people do when the carve up the coping to 50-50 and it just stops completely and then they roll-in later..
Not a fan of it!
If people aren't saying this they might not be telling you what's really up.
I've seen you skate before, Derk.
I know you could do it better with practice.
As for the way I skate?
Dude, Come on.. I've made one skate part in the past few years.
The rest has been videos of trick attempts, So yes some of that shit was sketchy.
I didn't mean I don't care about getting them clean but for the sake of an attempt video, Who cares?
It comes more naturally now, I just hate filming myself.. it's timely, have to stay in the shot, it sucks.
So I don't film everything.
You keep saying I should practice more, which is what I do every single time I skate, you telling me to do so doesn't help in the slightest. Almost like telling me to wash my hands after I pee AS i'm washing them after peeing. You don't skate like I do, even you said that, so your attempt at advice comes off insulting more then helpful. I don't tell you how to 'freestyle' skate, don't tell me how to skate tranny. It is purely for my own enjoyment, not to make you or anybody else happy. Just drop it, like I stated before, I always work on my tricks to get them faster and more clean, leave it at that, and move on.

Any skater that makes a video wants recognition
That's it, no denying it. We're stoked, new trick, hell yeah
but how can we get that if we don't help each other out?
I hate that it feels like I'm talking down to you, So far past that.
So I finally made it out to the local skatepark..
It's so much fun applying stuff from flatground, 5 hour sesh today
Did my first hippie jump over a rail today
as well as two tricks on a small box setup
Caveman one foot tailslide, caveman stepoff darkslide.
The darkslide thing is odd
but I am digging it.. got a few pretty clean.
So for caveman tricks I almost always pop the board into my hand
so there will be a pause in momentum, which I kinda need a push off the ground for
Right hand on the nose, left foot on the tail, I didn't count my steps but I probably take 2 pushes.
So 2 Pushes in this odd setup and then I can jump from the ground level to get some height doing a half fingerflip out.
The end of the trick feels fucking awesome so I may just clean up pushing within it.
Couple other variations I won't go into, Haven't got them decent enough to brag yet

Not sure when I'll be able to film, need higher angles.. not used to that.
Here's the local park though
Box setup is off in the distance here
So fucking jealous.

Well if its any consolation, It's a really nice area haha
The apartment complex I live in is about 1000$ a month.
You actually have to walk through a giant park to get to the skatepark.
Those ledges are sketchier than they look in the photos too
Something about a skatepark makes me step it up though.. people around, try to get stuff dialed.
The banks are so steep.. you HAVE to pump to get up them and even to reach the top of the pyramid.
It's fun though, I can carve around the banks.. Trying to apply the flatground slides to banks
didn't expect them to be so steep but I've gotten pretty close to one in fakie.
They actually enforce no alcohol and bikes can't have pegs, crazy.
That park looks fucking dope, sweet little sections all over!
