Slow Going

[shad0w]

Well, it seems that after varial-kickflips things have gottin kinda slow/hard it seems to be taking long to learn tricks...I've almost got 360 shuvit's under control but the other stuff like impossibles and 360 flips are a lot harder. Casper tricks are the shit. I've been trying to learn to switch between anti-casper and casper, I've almost got it and it rocks.

Does anyone know any real uses for tricks? If anyone finds out any cool uses for any trick, speak up.

[crazy_dave]

I dont really understand what you mean by 'uses'. You mean like using heelflips to flip pancakes or something? j/k :D

[just_skate_]

Tricks have uses? Like what? Creating free energy, saving rainforests, stopping terrorism?

[Fire.Freek]

Uhm... Learn heelflips on a terrorists face?

[Mr.42]

No , silly ! He means like learing how to Inward Heelflip over a crack in order to magically sprout a daisy ..... mmmm ......

Dude,its a lilly,not a daisy.For a daisy,you have to nollie kickflip.

[Mr.42]

oh , I'll write that down .

[glimmer14]

tricks are for kids.

[Fire.Freek]

Flip tricks are for gays, learn vert.

[shad0w]

Vert involves flip tricks...and since you didn't know that, you should go out and practice your 360 flips. Don't hate on street skating.

No Complies are a great way to get over parking curbs. Rail slides are good for getting down crowded stairways fast. Primos are good for gaining a few inches in height (if your short). If somebody is giving you a bad time you can just tell them to shuv it.

[shad0w]

Haha, Yeah Rail Slides are cool...that'd be sweet to do a board slide or a 50-50 in a crowded subway to get a good seat.

Flip tricks are for gays, learn vert.
I heard that heaven is a halfpipe,well thats only half right.
You don't have to skate vert to find your heaven on this earth.
You can skate a parking lot and see all for what its worth.
Heelflip twelve stairs and still receive your share.

I really hate people that think vert is better than street,or street is better than vert.If its skating,it doesn't matter.Just shut the hell up and skate!

[skullskater]

A real use? Maybe... you could... pop some trick up and nail Osama in the balls thats a pretty good use he'll scream and we'll get him wahooo!!!

[DarkstarSkater]

Uh....You could get the girls that wear the bam shirts? haha

[ROCKon]

Ha talk about trick learning going slow, it's physically impossible for me to learn new tricks on my board because it was left out in the rain accidently and it's so soft now, with another bit of tail chipping every time I skate. I can only do basic tricks on it, flippery's just too god damn hard, and I know I'm gonna lose my heelflips if I don't get a new board soon. But I don't have any money. :-11:

[Stonemonkey]

Ermm you could smack someone with a boneless.

[Mr.42]

I don't have any money. :-11:Arggg ! Show me ye secrets o' heelflips , and I'll give you me booty ....... not in that way ... in a sea pirate kinda way ..... God that was awkward ... Get off me boat !!! :-7:

[ROCKon]

....... Yeah I'm off yer boat!

[shad0w]

Key to heelflips = get into heelflip stance (with you front foot's toes hanging off the board) Pop hard, then kick out...or just try to ollie in heel-flip stance, I bet it will flip anyway.

[Mr.42]

Thanks , but I can't seem to find me booty lately ...

[SlimJim_junky]

or just try to ollie in heel-flip stance, I bet it will flip anyway.
I tried it,and it worked.

Thanx :)

[shad0w]

No problem...that's how I do mine.

[falloffboy101]

i have a heel stance but ita not too dissimilar to my ollie stance. ill try that.
