Best Old School Trick

[SkaterBrett]

What is your favorite old school trick to do?I like doing the old school ollie and the oldschool turn around thing with your hands what is that called again?

[DomitianX]

Old School Ollie? An ollie is an ollie is an ollie. There isnt no old school or new school variations.

The hands down trick could be lots of things. Maybe a bert slide?

[wipeoutshurt]

its called a bertlemen and there is no old skewl ollie buddy maybe ur talking about a hypie jump when u jump off ur board ove something then land on ur board after clearing the object and mine is the 540 powerslide is looks awesome and it makes u feel all weird like dizzy but yea thats my fav old skewl trick

[LIVE2SKATE]

mines probly early grabs on transition, they feel heavinly

[skaterat]

Please don't early grab, late grab/early release is the way to go on any air trick.

[gmgsci]

i think by old school ollie he means grabbing the ends into a "cannonball" position and hopping up and down...my favorite and best trick is a 540 bertleman slide. go up the vert down up once more.

[UpsideDownCross]

Boneless variations.

ya thats what i mean...

[Lucky Luke]

I like early grabs and boneless variations as well

[Natas19]

Come on guys what about an acid drop or a shove it? Those were my favorites.

[crazymofo]

no comply has to be the best, when you land its diffrent to any other old school trick cause you aint usin your hands and it just looks crazy that you leave the boared and come back on in one motion

[Whitney]

i can old school ollie better than new skool lol

[Whitney]

err wutever its called...maybe its not a real trick? lol i was reading the other posts...well im talking about when u squat down like in a cannonball then u jump when ur going really fast...

[HELLonWHEELS]

Old School Ollie? An ollie is an ollie is an ollie. There isnt no old school or new school variations.
what about when you grab both the nose and the tail of your board and sorta jump isn't that an old skool ollie

[LIVE2SKATE]

b/s boneless (on tranny ofcourse)

[JoeyKovacs]

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN OLD SCHOOL OLLIE! AAHH! WHEN YOU DO THE CANNONBALL JUMPY THING, YOU LOOK LIKE A SCREWING RETARD. DO NOT DO THEM, IT ISN'T A TRICK!!!!

whew, that felt good.

[4-EZTT]

The Ollie came from the mid seventies Alan "Ollie" Gelfand...so technically an Ollie is ol'skool yo. Some of the ol' skool rippers in the 70s did them from pipe to pipe. Here is a blast from the past....we couldn't figure out how they were doing ollies back then...my friend saw an add in the back of Skateboarder. You could buy velcro shoe straps for your feet and board so you could olie ---ha ha He bought them ..they were fun but wore out to fast!

[SkaterBrett]

skaterat would know what your talking about.He has been skating longer then ive been breathing of this earth.

[gcentral]

bank drop i like to drop on in money

[xDraKonZx]

late shuvits

[JesusRodeAFlip]

how about no comply frontside-fingerflips!? or what about chickenflips!? flamingos are really cool too, but i can't do them.

[Enjoi Flatland]

I'm quite partial to Bertlemans and Beanplants(boneless with your front hand). I was doing 360 bertlemans on the bowl at Krush today, and I loved those. But I would have to say that pivots are the most fun. You just ride fakie, wind up, and spin backside on your back wheels.

[WOOFY]

What is your favorite old school trick to do?I like doing the old school ollie and the oldschool turn around thing with your hands what is that called again?

Handstand.

woof

[hessian]

I'm gonna have to say bert slides/bertlemanns and beanplants, since they are the only old school tircks i can do well.

[goofy m3ng]

i ollie on my old skool board by popping and then grabbing the nose like a nose grab and pull up. Its very hard and it hurts but its cool when u land one. I also do some on my board i use now

[CinciSkater2011]

[monkeymess]

Pop Shuv Revert Is The Best To Do On Flat Ground

[smurf88]

I like the pogo, because when you watch someone do it it looks easy, but when you try it you can't do it for shit. The bert slide is cool too.

[Mike V]

Cave man, and variation, off bences, bleachers decks, 180 stall cavemans, caveman onto a grind, thats my favorite trick

[Hov32]

mines? the bullshit flip.
Whats that?

[CinciSkater2011]

Cave man, and variation, off bences, bleachers decks, 180 stall cavemans, caveman onto a grind, thats my favorite trickYou should see some of my friends. They can hop off a desk/lamppost/anything and then caveman. Especially really high stuff. Like climbing a concession stand in our local park and cavemanning off it.

[McJesus]

Doing powerslides give your wheels wheelbite.I do them way to much.

[ry10ry]

[thinker]

Bert slide

[WillSk8ForFood]

Primo variations, a real crowd pleaser, but they're starting to get old.

[smurf88]

Doing powerslides give your wheels wheelbite.I do them way to much.
No they don't. Wheelbite is from rolling too fast with loose trucks. Powerslides gives your wheels flatspots.

[loganownzj00]

The "old-school ollie(cannonball position grab/jump)" that everyone is talking about is called a Gorrilla. A Gorilla is also when you wrap your toes around the edge of your board and you jump up, taking the board with you.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN OLD SCHOOL OLLIE! AAHH! WHEN YOU DO THE CANNONBALL JUMPY THING, YOU LOOK LIKE A SCREWING RETARD. DO NOT DO THEM, IT ISN'T A TRICK!!!!

whew, that felt good.

What the **** is that? No one does that by wrapping their toes around the board.

[axe77]

hell no go the boneless man i can do all sorts of mad variations like 360 bonless hand shov its and bonless big spins and triple finger flips the posibilities are endless

[loganownzj00]

What the **** is that? No one does that by wrapping their toes around the board.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPqLFj8Guyc&search=forever%20young%20youth%20group%3E

Go 2 minutes into the video and watch how the kid jumps over the pole thing. So there are people who in fact do it by wrapping their toes around the board.

[WillSk8ForFood]

Whoa, that looks crazy hard.

[axe77]

tht is narly s***

[Flynn]

a few of my favorites are:
360 no-comply
180 no-comply to shifty
Helipop

[DreadSkaterxx]

My favorite is the Old Skool Kickflip.(considering that is the only one i know right now)

[China Skate]

my fav. - bert slide.. fun on slippery surface.

[loganownzj00]

^^ berts are fun on marble.

[hokus-pokus]

all right apparently very few of you skated back then.

how about eggplants, russian boneless, fastplant, 180 no comply shifty, 360 backside no comply , hospitals, launch ramp air walks over and over. slappy grinds, half cab boneless fingerflips. hella-pops, no comply wall rides,
tail grab one foots. I could go on forever you get the point. All old scholll tricks rule if they are done with style.

[theflyingcheez]

i like slappy board slides & caspers

[habitat_bomb]

can some one tell me what a bettleman is.........and i rilly like wrap-arounds

[Sicka Than Aidz]

anything no comply<33333333333

YEAH!!! no comply^^^!!! I REMember when Impossible's were the shit. Front foot impossibles.

[sk8king]

my favorite old skool trick is boneless and bert slide

[Dookie416]

i like oldschool impossibles, or at least that's what people call them. when you put your board in primo, and kinda with your foot like smack it and wrap it around and land. also, i like doing bertslides, or whatever they are really called, but not a gnarly old school one, a small one, to keep your balance, like if you are doing a stair set, and you land leaning too far on one side, sometimes people put their hand down, and do a little 180 powerslide to keep balance, i like just doing those on the ground.

[crazy_dave]

Fs no comply or those funky old school kickflip body varial things!

[Sicka Than Aidz]

one foots, i think onefoots cuz everyone did em. i never learned them cuz i got sick of kicking my foot off and stabbing my nuts with the nose.

[pop38]

I can hospital like a beast.

[nordberg]

my fav is the frontside rock 'n roll :: looks good everytime.

also love slappies, anything to revert, backside bonelesses.

[sk8king]

boneless 360 are the best :-6:

[G-Town1]

i like no complys and boneless 180's

[Galadar]

impossibles...especially no comply impossible =)

and i like fingergflips too

[Sicka Than Aidz]

boneless 360 are the best :-6:


And u hop on one foot twice :-41:

[FIGHT!]

I like fs 180 no-comply to bs revert out.

I am the KING of no-comply wallrides. I am working on a wall-shuv out of backsides now.

[BloodVengance]

BErt slide best trick ever

[frontside_slapp]

Skaterat,

Great pics of the laybacks, edgy bert and the barking version, as well! Are those current pics?

From your profile, I see that you've been on a board for a long time. I've been skating since the mid-late 70s and would miss the old days of Skateboarder Mag.

I'm back into it now, and just bought a new complete tonight. Tomorrow I'll FUBAR the snot out of the graphics with some rock & rolls at the park. Man, I wish decks were NATURAL wood (no stain, no "dip") with a simple company logo/model.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

How about a layback rollout, ala Duane Peters ;)

Regards,

frontside slapp

[skaterat]

Thanks alot man, these are all current pics. Layback Roll Outs are one of my favorite tricks to do these days, along with Sweepers, Tailblocks, Frontside Tailslides and the likes.

[frontside_slapp]

skaterat,

Those pics are too cool! Those layback roll-out shots are killer! What park is that? I need to get up to Elk Grove, CA and Ione, CA and try their parks. I've been told they have bowls of various sizes. The park I've been skating in Lodi has a cool mid-sized ramp, but something about a bowl/pool makes a frontside grind or 50/50 a hundred times cooler.

BTW- how do I post pics?!

Thanks again.

My favorite old school move, we used to call them tail taps (circa 1980), I don't know what they call them now (just got back into it). But when your back wheels were about to hit the coping, you grabbed the boards nose and pulled, thus sliding up the coping on the boards tail.

[skaterat]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v214/skaterat/swjwk4colin2.jpg

Ya mean like this ? Tailtap, Tailblock, whatever. Fun ass move for sure.

Yea man that's the one! It's a blast.

[SkaterFly]

I like cavemans the best. =]

[salvoslater86]

hypie jump
and i don't know if a caveman is old school but thats one of my favorite moves

[user_name]

Footplant to fakie on slopes.

[SkaterBrett]

Wow i can't believe how big this thread has gotten...

[Pinto]

I'm not sure if you would call it old school, but I like doing 360 powerslides.

[TrAnCe]

Mongo goofy's doing Hardflips

[BenBanned]

I really like oldschool kick flips and really stretched out bertlemans.

Hey skaterat whats the ink on your sleeve?

[bucksaw87]

oldschool?

old-school kickflips; fs air; all that flatland freestyle stuff; slappies; the natas spin; handstands; basically anything in a pool or miniramp; and i LOVE sliding but i absolutely HATE bert slides

[enjoi_the_baker]

pop shuv foot plants on the corners of stuff:-3:

[PWskater91]

boneless...

Just out of curiousity, why do you hate berts? I think it's a cool move, especially when done on a bank or tranny.

[bucksaw87]

Just out of curiousity, why do you hate berts? I think it's a cool move, especially when done on a bank or tranny.
they're definitely good when they're done right (i.e. on a board smaller than 40", in a pool or on a bank)...but i've seen too many (and i'm not exaggerating on this one) sandal and puka-shell necklace wearing longboarders do them improperly (i.e. drop a hand down and carve in a circle on their 46" pintails). i know, i know that sounds like a stereotype...but we actually have "those guys" around campus here...just for clarification, i am not one of "those guys"

i am a fan of the ol' coleman slide though...going down a hill, drop back on your front hand (with slide gloves on...gloves with some sort of abrasion-resistent puck) and kick the board out in front of you while STILL GOING DOWN THE HILL.
youtube it, it's a lot clearer

[honkeysauce]

Anything stalefish... Nosepicks... big tailslides and smithgrinds. What about hip-hops over the roll-in? That was the deal...

[frontside_slapp]

What about hip-hops over the roll-in? That was the deal...

Yea, that was a killer move, as if the "channel plant" wasn't burly enough!
