I was just curious as to what trick you really like to see and/or do? I respect the shit out of anyone who can true spin front backslide anything, which I rarely see. Also 270 back backslides 270 out, and AO topsouls with ridiculously "perfect" steezzzz are prime. I want to learn to have more control on my skates, and to make shit look more appealing to people. I also think it's so fun to watch people carve bowls when they know what they're doing. I'm finally getting over the hucking shit I like to fail on, and am ready to get tech with shit.

True Top anything. Saw a dude do a disaster 270 back royale off a 5 foot quarter to a 11 foot quarter. Shit was insane. Anything super topside on a ledge looks amazing.

Nah man, that's not lame at all actually. I have a friend who's really fucking good, and he can makio the shit out of anything. He even said himself that he could makio any rail ever. So one day we showed up at the sketchiest-weirdest rail i've ever seen. It was a 20 stair-square rail that was really close to a wall and about midway bent to the right with the shape of the wall. Literally one of the sketchiest, steepest rails I had ever seen. So I brought up his whole philosophy on being able to makio anything, and called him out on it. He was mad skeptical about it, but knew he had an obligation, and a few minutes later he fucking laced the shit out of it. I was hyped. The end.

That was an extremely pointless, and long story, but I can respect a makio, I don't fuck with those.

You are beast. Anybody that loves fishbrains has complete confidence in their skating. I'm assuming you smash at them too? If so, you're nuts. +rep

Nothing better than a sweatstance. Feels so good going fast as fuck at them on ledges and having complete control over it.

I get destroyed at least once every time I try to fish a ledge. But once I land a good, fast, controlled one... Best feeling ever.

what about the Stockwell front torque steezzzz? I think that's an exception to the whole lack of grabbing generation.

The most awkward feeling trick to do for me, that fucking everyone seems to be able to do perfectly on fucking everything is true topsouls. Don't understand how people can do them so easily and smooth. For me they're harder on rails than anything.

favorite to watch lately has been 540 AO acid. way sicker looking than topside.

favorite to do would be fishbrain or mistrial.

Watch: anything that's done with commitment. I hate when people think b/c they can do a trick half assed it's the same thing as when it's done with commitment. For example, a makio on a handrail where your "grabbed" foot is below your grinding foot, is not the same as when your grabbed foot is level or above your grinding foot (the entire grind).

Do: anything topside, and any soul trick and combining obstacles. Being versatile

werd. Why do I find soul grinds so damn scary? I feel more confident inspin topsouling a rail than souling it.

While Stockwell has had some pretty dope looking front tourqes, I just prefer them grabbed, so much harder in my opinion.

I doubt it. You would need a reasonable drop out of the grind, and a french background.

NathanC
06.07.2011, 13:51
I don't know what you mean about the french but a drop of 7 to 8 feet (2 to 3 meters I think) Is plenty. Its possible. saying its impossible...nah, progression doesn't work like that.

06.07.2011, 16:16

In Jon Jon's Truth 2 section he 360's out of one and fakie 7's out of a true miszou. So if he can't do it in his 720 glory idk if anyone can.

out of a true fish? ugh don't know how that would end up. I've done top soul 9's off handicaps plenty of times, with ballerina steezzz, and one time I somehow managed to do a pornstar 7 out on a handicap. It was hideous. haha.

Dberg
06.07.2011, 22:15
9 off a handicap? Bro that is literally a Brian Aragon trick, that is the only time I have ever seen or HEARD of someone doing that. Please tell me you got a clip of that.
