Switch and Fakie (diff?)

[Roswell]

I Just dont understand the difference

[smurf88]

You roll in the same direction (opposite your normal stance), but for switch tricks you use the tail and for fakie tricks you use the nose.

fakie nollie = switch ollie

in both, you face the wrong way. In fakie, you stand on the front though.

so that means my nollies are really fakie ollies? I put my left foot in middle and right foot on nose (I ride normal)...so a nollie is with left foot while riding normal?

okay. lets say youre regular (and you said you are).

when you do a normal ollie, youre riding to your left. your right foot (back foot) is on the tail, and your left foot (front foot) is in the middle or wherever.

when you do a nollie, youre still riding to your left, but now.. your left foot (front foot) is on the nose, and your right foot (back foot) is in the middle or wherever.

SWITCH is when you ride the opposite way (to your right, rather than to your left). a switch ollie is when your left foot (which is now your back foot) is on the nose (which is now the tail), and your right foot (which is now your front foot) is in the middle or wherever.

a FAKIE ollie is riding the same way as switch, but your right foot (now your front foot) is on the tail (which is now the nose), and your left foot (now your back foot) is in the middle or wherever.


but when youre just riding and not doing any tricks, you can call it fakie or switch, cause it doesnt matter.

get it?
