What new tricks have you learned this year?

[Pifachu]

Mostly just due to my work schedule this summer Antwan.
Afternoon/evening work which would force me to skate first thing in the morning before work or really late at night, not a fan.
That and just less free time and different priorities that come along with getting engaged and living together. I've focused more on guitar in my free time.
But I'll be back to regular day shifts soon though so I'll definitely be skating more in the fall.

you just made me realize i mostly skate at night now, less people in park/street, less light to, but i guess it just make it more hardcore....


got to skate with an old friend of mine, the dude didnt skate much this summer cause he got an open fracture riding the bowl in april, so after surgery and stuff he just got back at it, anyway

i landed a switch rock to fakie (or to nollie ?) on a full size concrete jersey barrier, really good feel to it, pretty raw...

i sometime hope i had a camera, or a buddy that got one, then i would have to skate more in the day to get good light,
i will get back there and try to at least take a pic,

Haha. I would like to say I'm busy but truth is im fortunate.
Got free time at the end of most days. Trying to get motivated.
Went hunting and found a decent little line. Didn't end up doing it but did work on a trick I've been wanting to expand on. Switch no comply body varial. Did it over a gap, wasn't perfect but I still get stoked when I'm close.
Included a funny ass bail. Fell a lot baha.

Actually going to break on filming for a while till I can landscape with some kind of tripod.
Angle is terrible can't even tell what I went over.

switch noseslides i should start trying to skate ledges in my stance tho

[Hitmanx123]

havent really skated over the last couple months but did anybody see the whole NBD contest that berrics had going? saw some crazy ass shit and the when they announced the winner was Jake Blue i was like "huh...sounds familiar". is that the same jake blue who was made fun of on skate for a while?

[Antwan]

I looked for the contest after you mentioned it.
Couldn't find much but one dude took freestyle and combined it with ledge grinds.
Which was badass. I was wondering when someone would expand. So much potential.
And chris cole is just a monster. Awesome tricks.

I just got back from skating.
I like to share my attempts if only to get people thinking.
Took the boneless half flip darkslide to a planter today.
I know people mentioned it being a grip tape killer but it's no joke.
I've also cleaned up the steps. It's a lot quicker with a legit boneless.
I didn't get a make as the spot demands a shuv type flip out.

[Poncho Lord]

almost landed those funky slappy front nose front 270 out things. couldnt ride them out tho

his gamertag was lbb and some numbers. he used to go on the ea forums but i don't remember him being made fun of

[Antwan]

I remember a jake.. Ha.
Wouldn't be surprised honestly.
There were some rippers messing with the skate games.

So I've been working on getting my stamina back.
Something I'm finding useful is a straight up concrete track around the lake here.
Just cruising and getting some top speeds. Makes me wish everything was that smooth rolling.

Ideas as of late:
Legit boneless flips. None of that multi-hand stuff, just starting the fliptrick and grabbing it.
Finishing the flip and jumping on all simultaneously after the hop.

Momentum cavemans, using an object on a henge that goes back and then forward again.
A fence door being my object.

Powerslide flat shuv hippie jump.
A tree at the track looks perfect.

I also really want to bring it back.
Thinking about stuff like streetplants to tail slides or even just manuals.

Need to get Wallies going again too. I was consistent for a while.

The beauty of it..
Starts as an idea, just time until success.
That mindset is sick. If you've experienced it you can apply it to anything.
