I've been skating about 8 years. Probably my best & favorite trick is the 360 spin 50/50 (freestyle, not the grind). If I could darkslide I would, but I can't get the half flip down right. |

Been skating for 17 years I can't beleive it's been that long. My fav is just hittin nice floaty ollies over hips, tranny's, corner's with a grab thrown in. I don't like flip tricks anymore, except the occasional kickflip. Bluntslides and smith's are pretty fun too |

9 years, and I still love a good powerslide or nosepick!
Railstand to railmanual to shuvit-flip out is fun. Primo slides I can do on marble surfaces, but they can be unforgiving. _________________ Terminate high thinking |

You people make me sound like my time of skating is minute. I been doing it for 1 year, my fav trick is probably a dark stall (wanna take it to dark disaster). I like my primo 180 flip out. But i still like to do a 360 pop shuvits here and there. And one day when me and my mates were pissed we were trying hand stand shuv its ( i know we will never land them), any way when we were sober i tryed 1 i didnt land them but i could get the shuv it part and land my hands back on the board just cant get my feet down. It would b kool if i could get them though. _________________

sk8on, sounds like you don't need tips, with that level of progression! _________________ Terminate high thinking |

I got my first board when I was 5, a hand me down from my big brother. I never really rode it much, I would just take it to get down to the beach to go surfing with my dad. Once I started getting better at surfing I started getting into skateboarding. I think I was about 10-ish. I begged my parents to buy me my own board, they did and I've never been without a board since. So all in all I've been skating for close to eleven years.
I mainly skate pools and vert ramps, on those my favorite trick is a nice smooth smith grind or bs air. Back in the day everyone used to call me geisha because I had this obssession with Japan Airs. Still every now and again I'll bust one out, especially on a wakeskate. The rare days that I decide to skate street I like rails and Hubba ledges, I'd have to say a nice fs boardslide is my favorite street trick. |

VIP, a salad grind is a 5-0 tweaked a little crooked in the bluntslide direction.
Geisha, you can Japan a wakeskate?!?! Good grief sista, how much air do you hafta get to bust one of those? I can get the mute grab, but no way I could tweak it into a Japan Air. |

I was gonna say, that's sweet!
I'd like to see some huge Melan grabs on a wakeskate. Tweaked out kung fu style like that one in the current Big Brother mag. _________________ Terminate high thinking |

Thanks, I don't think I have progressed that much but I do need some tips on how I can keep the board from always landing far out in front of me while trying 360 flips. |

Jester,
It took me two summers to be able to land the Japan Air on my wakeskate, I still can only do it off a double up. My goal was to be able to take them wake to wake this year but yesterday I broke my heel on a bs boardslide gone wild. What a drag! I hate this. I've only been on the DL for 24 hours and I'm already getting cabin fever ! |

That's why I don't do all the hesh street these days. I do crappy beginner street like flat rails or 3-stair gaps.
I know how it feels to not be able to skate (or even walk right) 'cuz of injuries, get better soon, sista. |

Little over 1 year. Best trick is probably boardslides down handrails or back 5-0's on stuff (other than handrails). Favorite tricks are kickflips, 360 flips, nollie 360's (Don't know technical name for them if there is one), and front boards. |

Nollie 3's are known amongst the flatland community (or even older skaters) as helipops. |
