What new tricks have you learned this year?

[Antwan]

"Im actually feeling pretty good right now" haha
I've bailed at high speed but not that fast..
all I know is with a decent amount of speed cooking up when you bail it's more of a whiplash than anything
almost like a state of numb that hurts later.

[pawnluvguitarist]

im gonna skate with Mustafiz filming tomorrow morning for like 20 mins, should have a nice little flatground vid by the end of the weekend if all goes well

[nolan1053]

I was trying to fakie flip this loading ramp not too long ago, but you need to get pulled by a car doing it. So I was hauling ass switch and hit a crack or a pebble or something going up the ramp and flew and landed directly on my left shoulder.
Skating fast is scary but so much fun.

[Antwan]

I've found if you lean back a tiny bit and put almost no pressure on your feet you can cruise over rocks.. even with small ass wheels.

[replicant]

One of the guys I used to skate with as a teenager still suffers from very bad seizures from cracking his head on a hill bomb. Smaller wheels, speed wobbles, tiny rocks, and him with no helmet. Messed him up pretty bad when that wheel pinched and threw him. I have another friend who lost a ball when he janked out a boardslide on a 6 step rail and landed full nutter. You gotta be careful out there. I have a nice medical file of broken, sprained, and tweaked muscles and bones from hucking myself off just about anything I could climb up on. Skate smarter than I did as a kid.

When parents ask me about skating or snowboarding, I always tell them I'm a prime example as to why their kid needs to wear a helmet. Seven concussions later, my short term... Uh... Crap... Short term... What the heck is that... Oh well, I can't rememember, but it's not very good anymore.

[Boxerman08]

got my halfcab heels down (never really tried them until my friend would always give me a letter at SKATE with it so I learned them lol), i'm getting close to get switch and reg fs bigspins, and i'm coming close to landing inward heel, hardflip and varial heel and a couple other ones too... hopefully i'll get them over the summer, along with other tricks I'm thinking of trying

[Mathiys]

360 double flip (Tre flip with a double flip), Switch big flips, triple flips

[Hitmanx123]

fuckin shit idk, learned a lot last year and dont really feel up to expanding too much but i guess ive been working on the merlin twist and switch big heel. everything else is like....bleh.

if anything the question should be what new spots have you used your new tricks on this year.

tried merlin twist off a curb.....swag...

[Antwan]

I've been skating the local tennis courts..
found a nice slappy that goes down a long mellow hill
my apartment complex is pretty fun.
I might be filming tomorrow if all goes well.. but be warned tricks are not as clean as I'd like them yet.

[nolan1053]

I'm going to the beach next weekend to film a gnarly hillbomb. So fucking stoked.

[pawnluvguitarist]

Fs Bert slide
Fs 360 Bert slide
Boneless a hip

[Antwan]

Still trying to learn more..
don't really have a lot of flatground tricks yet, it's a lot more of being comfortable and knowing your board and its rotations..
or so it seems.

I got the fakie one footed revert.. gotta plant as you lose traction.

oh, you are doing a footplant as you fakie pivot? or just a one foot?
my fakie 540 one foot is more of a manual wheel bite spin with the foot being off for the first 360, but theres no plant.

i can do about 10 walk the dogs quick, right into space walk shuvs, and i can do multiple one foot pivots in any direction any foot now.

It seems the looser my trucks the more control im getting. loosened em another quarter turn today

[Antwan]

Yeah fakie 180 pivot just plants for now..
it's pretty fun because you can kick while sliding in one motion and roll on to other tricks..
I will probably slowly start putting my foot down later into the trick as I learn it.. move onto more spins, etc.
I have some decent ones I don't think I've seen people do though.. waiting on the person who filmed me to send me some stuff I may make a short promo thing.

[KRiSPY_ENJOISK8R]

yesterday i landed a boardslide and a 50-50 on a ten set rail. i almost have blunt slides on handrails, i have tre flips on lock, fs flips on lock, back lips back smiths fs smith working on blunt 180 outs on tranny, and some mo shit

[Antwan]

I don't know what to call them but I made a few new tricks today
slide back to one foot pop a hardflip get half of the rotation into a fence while off the board jump back on looks pretty interesting
Uh quad toss unders I guess its like a caveman flip but I slide back to one foot pop up I grab the middle of the board and flick a quad rotation
One footed reverts without the plant.. mad steez.
Getting more technical with sal flip's to 360 shuv outs
manualed a little longer
yep

oh and coming close to rail flip to rail..
they are so scary haha

[pawnluvguitarist]

really hard to picture you doing these things antwan, looking forward to some footy


today i got a few new ones:

540 boneless on bank
360 boneless on a bank
360 boneless a hip

[Antwan]

Sounds crazy.. 540.. can't imagine, like a pivot to 540 or straight 540 spin? either or still crazy.
Man I want to skate today but my shins and feet kill..
any tips for less pain? Haha

[XILENTZ]

Last trick I learned before my board broke was a blunt to stall on a mini at a park. Super stoked on getting them but I've probably lost them now.

[pawnluvguitarist]

boneless manual, and caveman manual down this bank:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4S6S...el_video_title

[pawnluvguitarist]

found this new little outdoor park, super slippery marble kinda ground, tonnes of new bert slide variations on the banks, pyramids ect Felt real cool, like skating on ice, you can like lay all the way back and just slide

[pawnluvguitarist]

linking multiple one foot 180 pivots (have them in every direction with either foot)
and mixing them into sequences with spacewalks and walk the dogs

bs 180 boneless
360 boneless into a spacewalk
fakie no comply
fakie no comply bigspin
fs 900 manual spin fs shuv out
body varial into 540 manual spin
walk the dog with the opposite foot


shaved another 2 inches off my oldschool board, no more huge tail pretty much lost my ollie but flatground is feeling so much more natural...

[i am a snail]

im starting to learn now this year so maybe by the end of the summer i won't be such a lazy fatass.

ollie
bs shuv


that's pretty much it.

[Antwan]

ollie
bs shuv

It happens man.. Weather has been terrible for me here so I can't even skate though I want to.
That's sick though man getting started is the best thing once you're comfortable with the basics you can branch in any direction you want to
180's, footplants, reverts, pivots manual spins.. boneless.. no comply.. or even new fliptricks it all goes together because it's all about being comfortable
with your setup.. it's so much fun to see your progression through it all and how you learn new things from one basic idea.

thanks for the words of encouragement man. still not really confident enough to head out to parks, still resigned to the driveway for now. im still trying to work on doing both moving, i can't do either one with consistency yet but im getting there at least. felt so boss when i landed the bs shuv though, probably one of the most euphoric feelings of my life short of orgasm

[Antwan]

Ha nice.. yeah man.. I get the feeling everytime I land a new trick. Very satisfied.
What are your trial and errors with the tricks? I'm sure I could give advice.

[Rastagnarian]

Most valuable trick I learned was a Fakie bigspin. Best trick I learned was a boneless laser flip...that gets everyone in SKATE all the time.

[Antwan]

Got sal-flip quad fingerslap body varial today
to explain it more I doubt anyone will try it but you know
A sal-flip motion but pop it a little more vertical
just let the board glide for a second don't grab it
slap the side up with enough force to get a nice quad rotation, jump while it's doing that
bolts.

[pawnluvguitarist]

boneless down a 4 set
180 boneless up a 3 set
360 boneless out of a huge bank, mustafiz said about 4 feet of air, the best feeling i've had in skateboarding yet

[Rastagnarian]

I love bonelesses...classic

[knexzor]

AMEN
flying is the shit

[Mathiys]

Flat ground 540 flip

[pawnluvguitarist]

fakie half cab casper on flat

[Antwan]

Consecutive moving 360 manual spins
up to 5 in a row with one push in between

[Boxerman08]

switch no comply fs 180's and getting really close to getting switch fs bigspins... landed it a few times, but I'm working on getting them right and consistent

[Park Mo Flip]

Ive learned Nollie Inward Heels, Nollie back heels, nollie frontside flips and varial heels along with just working on tricks ive been able to do and getting them a little better.

[TACOPUNISH3R]

Just got pivot fakies today. Working on Nollie back 360s. Landing them here and there, but they look sketchy at best

[a red bicycle]

got bs 180 ollie norths
i can ollie over a small couch(if that counts as a new trick...im really liking ollying over things recently. the other day i had sesh over my trash can from a little curb that acts as a small little ramp.)
bs 50-50s (i know, easiest trick but for some reason bs grinds dont work with me)
got better at ss bs 180s so i can actually roll away from them
annnd almost got an ollie north manual but right when i landed in the manual my board skimmed the ground just the tiniest bit.

these all range from a couple of weeks ago to like a month or two

oh and my friend started skim boarding so i went with him a couple times and the first day i went, i got a shuv-it. i highly recommend trying skim boarding. I loved trying to apply what i know about skateboarding to it. Like you know you can do it, its just a matter of re-figuring it out. it was sooooo much fun. and it only costs $20 for a basic board

[Antwan]

having a lot of fun using manuals to turn corners
can pump through it..
even more fun going fast.
