Harvey Wallbanger Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Those tail devils look kind of awesome. Imagine someone doing a nice backside tailslide with sparks shooting out?

Nigel Tufnel Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Is it ridiculous to start skating at age 20? Even if you are a thug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpyD Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 i learned how to kickflip before i could ollie. so backwards..... then I learned how to ollie standing still, it took me months to be able to ollie while rolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindvapors Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 i couldnt learn to ollie unless i was moving. also, fakie flips used to be easier for me than reg. actually still are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUMPKIN ESCOBAR Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I learned ollies pretty fast, but flips were a fucking pain in the ass. I learned varial flips before kickflips for some reason too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Wallbanger Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I learned varial flips first as well... I wonder why it is that a varial flip is easier than a straight kickflip, but a 360 flip is so much harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUMPKIN ESCOBAR Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I just look at varials flips like pop shove its ver 2.0. You just flick your toe and jump a little higher and you got it. Kickflips were bitch, I always landed with my front foot off my deck. I learned heelflips first. and 360 flips, man...I need to work on those.....altough my 360 shoves kind of half flip somtimes.

dobsilla Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 a lot of people learn varial flips first, i did too. but then once i learned kickflips i was no longer able to do pop shovits for a long time because i would just do a varial flip. fakie flips are very easy. and to people having trouble with tre flips they are much easier fakie too, they just seem to follow through better that way.

mindvapors Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 ya, fakie big flips seem to just flow sumtimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUMPKIN ESCOBAR Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I think skating fakie in general helps you get tricks down faster. Whenever I'm struggling with something and I'm on the verge on focusing my board I just start trying it fakie and usually get it down. Frontside half cab heels seem to flow better as well.
