What new tricks have you learned this year?

[briden]

tricks like those are referred to as 'sweepers' where I'm from

Sweepers are where you plant the back foot. DV is planting the front foot.

Dude, you may have just turned me onto something.

Yeah, same basic thing, but with the front foot going down and not so much of a pop.

Got one very fluidly the other day. Been hitting one or two ugly ones every 10 tries or so though, so it'll come along sooner or later.

I'm going to try this ish next, though. Looks fun.

I want a mini-ramp in my garage!!!

Went to the big park today. Got a frontside slash on my first wall I've been trying to get all summer (the first wall is at least a foot higher than the one you drop in on) and an ally-oop spin slide thing. Approach wall as if you'd be carving frontside, but ally-oop powerslide and come out forward.

And... OH! Rock to fakies on the 6' with massive coping.

Good day.

got the closest i've ever been to landing a hand rail today. i definitely dont count it tho. it was just a 4 stair and i landed sketchy as fuck (both hands on the ground. just barely hanging on to the board). plus, it was only a bs boardslide. so i would feel like a douche if i said i landed it. but still. that just means its right around the corner. so im pretty excited
