Idk, back boards feel pretty good when doing them but they aren't anything special. Unless you back board a 10 foot or longer rail, then they become alright hahah

[@JellyBlockLP]

Genuine question, why is it called backside? Isn't he facing the front?

[@Rocky-oq9cy]

This is kind of off topic but I really feel like I have to mention how much I love the skateboarding community. It is the only community that I know of that truly support everyone and encourage them to learn and perform new difficult tricks. I mean seriously, when you go out to the park even complete strangers cheer you on. They respect you and encourage you to keep going and I think that’s why the community has stayed so strong over the years. Most people I have seen will give you space to do tricks; try not to hog the whole park. They give everyone their turns.

[@leehazlewoodism]

In 1989 it was one of the best things I could do. Along with no-complys and varial flips. I still think fakie varial flips look good, especially if you start with your board backwards.

[@ze2004]

I want to learn that one

[@d.structive2633]

When Jonny Giger does a trick, there's no way it'll look bad 😁

[@michaelwilson5114]

I love airwalks and no comply's - but I also skated back in the days of Animal Chin and H Street.

[@Dystopia1111]

Same here. Been skating since 86 and both of those are still regulars in my trick inventory. Hitting a big kicked-out airwalk out of a bank or transition is just damn satisfying. As for no complies I'm not a huge fan of the basic 180 no comply (kinda regard it as a basic set up trick), but they're great with just a little variation thrown in (shuv, pivot, rewind). Ray Barbee's part in Public Domain (IMO) is still unmatched as the perfect example of how to make no complies look really good (of course it helps a lot if you have that dude's effortless style).

[@Gainn]

@@Dystopia1111 So many variations of the no comply. I was always a fan of the impossible one, but even the basic one can look good if you get elevation and stick it high. And as for airwalks.. I always found people that rag on them are the ones that can't do it with style.. :P

[@Dystopia1111]

@@Gainn True, no comply impossibles can look really good. The basic straight-on no complies can look really good too. Saw a friend no comply right over a traffic barrier and land it clean (1st freaking try no less), was one of the most jaw-droppingly awesome things I've seen in a while. No idea how he powered up 3 feet of weirdly-contoured barrier, boosted up over it, and got his front foot back on. Freaking sorcery.

[@deej808]

Haters can hate but airwalks are iconic!

Nolie Front side big spins use to be my jam when I skated good. I could do big spin every direction lol

[@ATs_fm]

I strongly disagree with everyone who thinks ANY trick is ugly or whack! Skateboarding is meant to be the very definition of freedom. So you should be free to do everything you'd like on a board without being judged by wannabe- or (even worse) 'sport'-skaters. My personal all time favourite is Pop-Shove It Body Varial. Pop it really high and maybe fakie fs revert it and you got yourself a banger right there! So I agree with Johnny as he said: Don't let anyone tell you what to do and what not to! Period.

[@eskimo1000]

Most of these tricks are actually pretty cool 😎

[@tumtumhero1436]

I'm surprised you didn't put the willy grind in the list, that back willy was actually pretty dope in the beginning

[@Dystopia1111]

Agreed on that 1. To me willy grinds always look like a 50-50 where the back truck failed to connect, even when they're done right. Really hard to make those look good.

[@UbergamR447]

[@Sk8AndDestr0y]

varial flip is great, but the muscle memory of tre flip makes it hard to do both properly

[@luisg1653]

I agree on pressure heels. I used to do pressure kick flips flat though. There was no scoop, just hard pressure over rear wheel and it would flip level.

[@jaybird634]

Jonny is the best flatground skater in my opinion ! Giger would be a joy to skate with ...

[@yourturningpoint777]

I did a pressure heel on accident like 7 years ago and thought it was so cool. Now I’m launching regular pressure flips out of the bank and think the pressure heel I did so long ago and was kinda wack.

[@FromTheRootsToTheCrown]

Crook grinds look so dope when done right

[@DynaOne]

I once did so many crooked grinds one summer that the left roll fell off at some point.

[@tankeater]

People hate triple and even double flips because you don't run your foot off the nose. You have to kick down to get a fast enough rotation, and most sk8ers aren't used to that

[@Fluzoo]

Is it weird that almost all of this tricks are in my favorites?

[@matthewzimmers1097]

Varial flips are so fun though. That’s one of those tricks I can pop and catch pretty high, and imo looks great when done like that.

[@vikingmetaldragon]

Thats what I was going to say. They are typically way higher pop and catch.

[@diekehr]

What about Nollie Pressure Flip? Has been around for one year after invented and rapidly forgotten, unless performed "Rodney Style" looks an awkward trick to me

[@danielmcewan6322]

Personally hate crooked grinds when I skated every one I skated with could do them I could lock in and grind but never ever could manage to land and roll away even off the end of a ledge where as I could bs and fs nose grind. It was if I was always to far forward and learning over the board to much doing crooked. I’ve not skated for about 10 years but did skate for about 12 and I can remember the rage from trying this trick and failing.... failed for about 12years 🤦‍♂️🙈🤯

[@bigdeckenergy8119]

I feel like people hate on tricks they can’t do or just can’t do well. You can make any trick look good with enough time and effort

[@JoLynRol]

It's the first time that I see the Plasma Spin. I have always wondered if it was possible to do (I haven't skated for years but sometimes I think about tricks when daydreaming, visualizing the process, and strangely it's what comes to my mind) so thank you ! (I love it btw)

[@joshuabryant9845]

People don't like Varials because once they start learning how to 3 flip or Lazer they usually struggle with the varials. Personally varials are some of my best looking tricks.

[@nextdaydelivery7147]

the pop shuv body varial me and a friend nicknamed it a lil spin cuz it’s almost like a big spin

[@emscar_]

Unpopular opinion: Plasma spins are a super cool trick. If you do them the traditional way, yes they suck and I can imagine they are very uncomfortable. Definitely check out pressure plasma spins though. You can hardly tell it’s a pressure trick and they feel very nice to land. I thought I might have made the trick up but as it turns out a few people on KZbin have done them too. Very fun trick

[@icarusshepherd1724]

Jonny's varial kickflips look better than 99% of the tres

These were all the tricks we were doing back in the 90s. Sad to see that they're frowned upon now.

[@AndySo2000]

I'm an 80s skater who still skates. Honestly nobody really cares what tricks you do anymore. It's fair game right now. If anything people were more uptight about certain tricks in the 90's. I suppose this video is really just for pros or people who are trying to take skating seriously trying to get sponsored etc. That's the only way any of this would matter. The notion that if you show up to a skatepark and do a no comply and this gang of guys are going to make fun of you isn't the case. Most people at skateparks are newbies or kids on scooters etc. Most of the skaters I see at skateparks can hardly ride a board let alone care that I did a pressure flip. Typically at most parks I skate, other skaters are really welcoming because you're not on a scooter.

“Almost impossible to catch” CRAZY hearing someone so good saying that about the triple flip. My friend who I got back into skating with can pop them consistently and cleanly and we’re still learning the basics. He can just crack out triple flips for some reason haha and he still kicks out the front like a regular kickflip unlike on the side like you.

[@netmatrix75]

The cross legged trick is probably the most challenging for any skater. Because there is not leverage to begin an ollie with. Whats more to add a flip into it.
