Are 360 shuvs better than tre flips?

360 shuvs are nice, but the tre is a bit sexier.
As for me, the Impossible is the sexiest trick of all time.

>>1350639
Well i've landed one today in the game of skate, the guy did not even understood what was that.

I can't do tres and i don't even have a kickflip on lock, so i'm going to work on these since they don't seem to be a very common thing.

I also like frontside 360 shuvs, my fs shuvs came naturally for me, so i hope that i'll be able to learn 360 variant to. It's actually super rare to find someone who can actually do them, usually it's the guy who also can land all heelflip variations and lasers.

what's up guys?
a while ago I posted a video of me skating. That was after maybe 3 months of knowing how to ollie. Not its been a solid year after I learned how to ollie and I have been trying to kickflip, and made a video of my attempts. I understand that i'm not really committing or making an attempt to get my foot on the board. I'm unsure as to whether it's my flick or just lack of commitment. Any help is appreciated

My FS pop shuvs are probably my cleanest and most-on-lock trick. However, I've been trying front 3 shuvs, front big spins, and lazer flips for over a year and I've never even come close to landing them. They're hard tricks, man.

you're flicking down instead of flicking forward/up. This means that your front foot will always go to the floor instead of onto your board.

Same
> never even come close to landing them
I think i know what the problem is. Your front shuvs are probably clean but you don't pop them high and don't really jump, the board just spins under you really fast?
If that's what's happening you have to concentrate on making them as high as possible. And by high i mean you should really bone them like the ollie. The idea is that if you can hover for a really long time while jumping back you will be able to let the board spin all the way through.

I'm not sure if that's going to help, but i can do really high backside pop shuvits and i think that helped me with 360 variation.

Extreme hill bombing? Sure.

flick upwards, also bend knees more, and try not to bend your back as much. practise by instantly placing back foot on ground, and landing your front foot on top of the board. then once you consistently get your front foot on top of the board just do the exact same thing and focus on jumping as high as possible with both feet. good luck anon.

>>1350926

ive done my grip like that before it works fine for tranisition skating & only messes with your nollie tricks but you can still do nollie and nollie 180 anyway you just have to do it with your sliding foot on the bolts

I can't believe how essential the removal of your backfoot is when you pop and I don't mean just heelflips. Pop is fundamental.

no, theyre all like that , like they have roid rage or some shit, its probably from the fact they smack their dick even if they land their trick.. plus they all strike me as secretly gay, like they go home & fuck each other

Infinity is lowkey your best bet. No Coast is real life version of some of the posters here, Future Skate is low on stock but Don is cool since he bought the mall park, Swedlife is streetwear fueled but the staff skates from time to time. There's more I missed because St. Louis is one of those places that does the absolute minimum for skateboarding imo.

>No Coast promised a public park that's street skater friendly with the donations they got, builds a fit that looks nothing like the plan and is small and tranny heavy. The cash went to making a private park in a church.

the problem for me was the i wasn't jumping with my body high enough - you might have a different problem but this ended up helping me...oh and I was going too slow. The actual flick part was pretty str8 forward for me. Hope this helps anon.

Same guy again that said jump high go fast - just watched the video...I COULD NOT for the life of me do a kickflip stationary. I had to have some momentum to get those guys off. I would suggest rolling.

can some people just not kickflip?

i've been skating for a year and can heelpflip but i just can't kickflip. i either kick the board away infront of me, or spin varial heelflip
>>
>>1354929
it's not that you can't kickflip, but are better at heelflips. i wouldn't worry about it. just have fun. you'll get them some day, but for now work on other tricks. maybe heelflip variations, or kickflip variations, like tres - they are easier

i used to inline and desu i wish i still did but it's dead as fuck. going to a skatepark and looking like a kook with your friends is much easier than going to the skatepark in blades by yourself. there was a short time where i used my rollerblades more than my board but that was a very long time ago. i've been strictly skateboarding for about 8 years.

I bet they could do anything given a couple tries they are pros for a reason I've seen them learn tricks just by watching then get them down next try it's insane

>>1355844
that's definitely what those look like but it's a super old picture and definitely a smaller board than what he's skating now
>>
>>1355873
Love Mind Field but only a few parts stick out.
Jake, Ave and Heath.
I want to say Bledsoe but can't remember if he had a full part
>>
>>1355913
he did, omar's is a personal favorite. a little biased because it also introduced me to one of my favorite bands
Jake's and Heath's were great. I always really like Arto's part too

Homo anon, which pro skater do you fancy?

It's 8.25

>>1354120

because you posted Mari, im going to say yes you should start skating. you're not even that old, going to the skatepark is kind of lame anyway, and skating alone is fun. just remember its about having fun, so don't worry about being good or whatever, learn tricks if you want and just try to have fun
>>
>>1354722

people don't really do them, if they can, they do them as biggerflips rather than just straight 540 flips
>>
>>1354747

and I learned from Tony Hawks Trick Tips VHS tape my parents got me for Christmas. Don't worry about it if you learned from him, everyone learns from something lame

You should look up the "Transworld Show Me The Way" series for more tricks tho
>>
>>1355533

If they would just wax their goddamn skates rather than waxing the ledge/rail OVER AND OVER I'd like them a lot more

Can't tell if your serious or not desu, but if you actually care that someone learns from Aaron Kyro you might be autistic. This whole thread is cancer.

Skateparks are great, especially in Arizona

Good point. Some of the interviews the pros will admit that was a first of a trick. But some interviews they will flat out admit they suck at a certain trick. Everyone's got a weakness.

>>1356304

Depends on what size foot you have, if you're a 12 or 13 that might be workable. Its a good very/tranny board if you want to have multiple setups also.

Heath Kirchart rode boards that big. You could make it work. But yea most skaters today have a 8.5 as their 'big' board

When doing a 50-50 on a curb do I want put more weight in the middle of the board or closer to the elevated side? Also, I assume the painted part has less friction than regular concrete, yeah?

Yea but sometimes the paint just chips away othertimes its so thick it works like wax so you cant always count on it being the same everywhere & you want to kind of press into the elevated side a bit but if the curb is rounded even a bit you might not be able to without it just rolling over and off so in that case you need to be right in the middle over the metal of the truck and pressing into the edge of the curb or even pushing the wheels of the lower side in to lock on

I am currently leading right now, but that deck temps me. I don't care about graphics on boards, hence my pretty basic Almost deck (shop had no blanks), but that is pretty cool. Also, if it's really 8.25, as >>1355979 says, that's what my current deck is.

Lead me not to temptation...
>>
>>1357227
Yes. Find someone who wants them and trade with that person. If your local shop is willing to let you trade, then good for you.
>>
>>1357225
Pretty normal if all you do is just ollie.

Tried it a few times when I was in NZ recently, it's pretty cool when you get it down but as skater I don't really get it, there's a lot of effort paddling back and forth and I feel like there's just so much more room for creativity in skateboarding, surfing is more chill but skating is far more fun in my opinion.

my nigga, actually hate getting new decks because of this. I barely notice any difference in pop with shitty grip tape and it also saves a lot on your shoes

its in one of the batb videos he was in, berra goes up to him and is like 'you know you dont have to ride boards that big right?' and then asks him what size it is & how long hes been riding wide boards and heath says the whole time hes been skating. i tried to find it on youtube for you but only the battles themselves are there and I think it mightve been in the prebattle videos they did. his pro models on aws were normal sized because they need to be marketable but he rode bigger boards to skate

Having upper body strength helps, it takes more force than you would think to push the front of the board down when standing up
