we live in a world where switch doesnt matter. id say, half of skateboarders in the modern day, are learning switch tricks before regular tricks. like, some real erik koston wanna bees. they have a larger switch trick list than their normal stance.

@@wilbs5970 I believe your statement is false. I'm goofy because that's what felt natrual to me when I first started skating. Having my right foot forward made sense with out even thinking about puting the left foot forward. Now if I decided that I was going to learn all my tricks in regular stance and none in goofy. I would still be a goofy skater.

I know like I post a video of doing a pretty big air with a indy grab and some kid commented you're so bad you can't even kick flip which I can and actually the jump I did is even harder for me to get big air then do a kick flip so the point is people have truly forgotten how to actually respect good skaters.

nah, skating is weird. i know people that can kick flip nose grind, but can ride on a side walk cause the cracks mess with their ability to ride. and people are learning flat 4s when they learn tricks. after they learn to kick flip, they learn fakie flip, then switch flip. then nollie flip. and are doing this with all their tricks. its not that they forgot was basic, its just that a switch flip is a basic trick now.

I just can't get the shoulder n hip swing right, and when i Kf i dont even have to think it just goes naturally into either of those. Ppl always found it weird n funny.
