What Is Proper Game of Skate Etiquette?

[@dumbdata34]

Kelly, if you're reading this and want to have a chance against Nick Tucker, I recommend going for his weaknesses (low % consistency on defense): Hardflip BS 180 (0/2) Nollie BS 360 bigspin (0/2) Switch Big flip (0/2) Switch FS shuvit late flip (0/2) Big flip (0/1) Fakie 360 shuvit (0/1) Nollie varial kickflip (0/1) Switch tre doubleflip (0/1) Nollie FS kickflip (1/5) Nollie BS heelflip (1/4) Fakie FS heelflip (1/3)

I always take a game of skate as an opportunity to learn new tricks. I recently lost because of a nollie flip so now it’s been stuck in my head. I gotta learn nollie flips

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

That's what I always thought of it as growing up. It makes you figure out things you didn't think of before. The berrics made it so complicated.

[@ab-ue9yx]

How so? Berrics game of skate literally follow the same 3 rules that are applied everywhere worldwide for the past who knows how many years, not sure what you find so complicated about it.

[@Tsudkyk]

Games of skate have to opened my mind to new possibilities. Especially when playing against someone way better than me. I’ll even ask for pointers before trying a new trick- it’s all about the fun, not the win.

[@jbean9021]

Nollie flips, one of the funnest tricks.

[@raccdaddyy368]

more than half my tricks i learned were through skate. without my friends doing tricks i couldnt do i wouldnt be progressing like that at all.

[@chhhickenbonenowison]

The only rule for me really if I’m playing with a friend is like I’m gonna try to run through all the shit we can both do and I’m not gonna pull out a niche trick or some shit I know he sucks at unless we’re both on and have no more tricks

FACTS from Prod watching people at my local over the years you know whos good around town so you know what kind of game to expect from whomever youre playing some guys start with shoves some guys start with kick flips some guys start with nollie flips and tre flips but playing the better guys will force you to get better and out of your comfort zone. if you want to get better like most of us do then challenge yourself and your friends.... Go for the throat.

[@dataghost2307]

I think starting off with the basics is a good strategy, especially if you got first go. If you got your basic tricks on lock and there's a chance they could mess up and you could get them a easy letter and save your ill tricks for emergencies.

Front shoves and varial kickflips are what I’d use to make people get letters. My friends and I would usually start with the easy tricks we can land then progressively get harder as the game went along.

[@MC_1993]

My first and only switch heel was in a game of skate. I had skat. It didn’t pop. But I’ll always remember. My fakie double varial took the kid out. I Skated ages 6-14. Then briefly in college. Kid was an am. Highlight moment for sure. Nothing like learning a trick mid game

[@freakbag556]

as a non pro skater im starting with the fs 180

[@Skate247allday123]

I think the only etiquette is not getting so arrogant and calling others out for no reason. It shouldn’t matter what kind of trick you do first or last.

They are pro's for a reason. We don't start with and "ollie or "180" he's just kicken us the real

[@prod.byzaha954]

my favorite etiquette is when the opponent just skates away mid-game and skates the opposite side of the park ignoring you the rest of the session🤣

[@DylanSimmons69]

I think if it's a battle between you and a friend, get the gamed warmed up with ehat you and that person can land. Then start working in tricks that will challenge them, but aren't impossible. Now on the other hand, if it's with a random person, go for the throat.

[@cyberinsurgent9910]

Yeah this is why I always do a 2/3 GOS. Warming up is a necessity often times. I can't tell you how many times I went easier on a person only to LOSE because my dumbass took them for a fool when they bust out a pressure flip, a few variations or like a 540 flip after struggling to do anything nollie switch fakie or other basics. They will get me on some basics too, and not even because I Didn't try, I just stopped doing them, basically the Rust effect they spoke about... And it's not that I'm good, it's just that I often get asked to play with ppl more or less just starting out with a few tricks so I'm taking it easy. But NOW, I'm straight Throat Chasing like I'm on the Hub.

[@DylanSimmons69]

@@cyberinsurgent9910 yeah that's why when i play skate I usually start with back 180s and heelflips bc if they csn do those they're usually pretty good

[@eze8024]

I usually go through all the tricks im confident ill land (kickflips, heelflips, shuvs, 180s etc) hoping opponents will mess those up to get as many "easy" letters as possible, then get into hardflips, inward heels etc. Playing against "strangers" i stick to "typical" popped tricks. Playing with a good friend i will definitely do some pressure flips, toe flips and bubble flips 🤣

[@isaacbenrubi9613]

Personally, I think it's up to the participants and their level of skill or current situation. For example, if I'm playing SKATE with a guy who is injured, I'd ask if there's anything he's not comfortable with, but if I was going against P-ROD, I'd just surrender to the sweet relief of death.

[@thehalcyonflight]

When ever we play SKATE, there's always 1 rule... u can't repeat a trick per game. So let's say I do a fakie tre flip and it gives him a letter, the next game, I can't do a fakie tre flip. It HAS to be a different variation of a tre flip. That way it keeps whom ever is competing and winning from just busting out the tricks you KNOW you can get someone a letter on. ALSO, I MUCH prefer those reeealy hard games of SKATE. Because after a while, the homie keeps getting you a letter on tricks that you eventually show up with and go "ohhhh you didn't know I got that now huh?"

[@AMMAZZARE]

Pressure Flips are sooo easy. The only trick that only took me an hour to learn. And I WILL use it in a game if s.k.a.t.e.

[@dasrinlarkinskateboarding9761]

[@Tsudkyk]

My secret weapon for games of skate is heel flip variations. When my first two tricks are a heel flip and laser flip it makes my opponent assume I’m way more dialed than I am😂

[@eze8024]

Same. Seems 99% of ppl focus on kickflip variations and rarely practice heelflip tricks. I used to skate with a dude that could nail like every kickflip variation in all 4 stances, but could barely regular heelflip.

[@kylebookout1789]

There's a balance between pushing each other and yourself and having fun. I get where Paul is coming from. He's one of the best skateboarders precisely because he's always pushing his limits. Disclaimer: I can't pressure flip either.

[@jhates68]

Personally I can’t stand when someone starts a game with 180s and shuvs, I’d rather just get moving a kickflip or even tre flip.

[@11colavec]

i dont disagree with paul but i think its just one way of looking at it lol...with my friends if i went for the throat every game they would just not wanna play me next time

[@highginx]

Listening to this made me realize how much I use to take having a group of friends that skate for granted. Back when I was a teenager like 09-12 learning how to skate there was a big skate scene in my neighborhood and there was hella homies always coming through because we lived near the skatepark Now that I'm older (26) life has changed and everyone moved away and drifted apart and since I recently got back into skating I don't have anyone to skate with anymore so it's hard to get motivated to learn new tricks, and the local cats are all sponsored and traveling so I often feel left behind but it's my fault because I guess a played it safe back then. 🛹

[@ftrogs1230]

With you on that , but go to the skatepark. Hang out with other skaters of all ages there. Also Skate transition (or learn to skate transition) because it’s more low impact than jumping down stairs. You can skate transition your whole life

[@highginx]

@@ftrogs1230 yes absolutely, I skate transition sometimes but mostly just cruise and slash the coping here and there. Thanks!

Don't sell yourself short homie. Very few of us realized we were living in some of the best times of our lives as kids.

[@kennyconnors9513]

I'm 28 and I resonate with this so much. As soon as I turned 18, all of my skate homies went their separate ways. I tried to keep skating, but the motivation was so low due to not having anyone to ride with. Then the injuries started piling up and I fell out of love with skating. I still keep up with everything going on, but just can't get myself to go out and ride. It doesn't help that I'm married and have a 4 month old daughter now so I really don't have time anymore

I dont like when people keep trying the same tricks over and over again and missing them. I always try a different trick if I miss one before i try it again. Kind of feels like if one try a laser flip and the other try a switch laserflip, the first one to land it will win, if that makes any sense

[@arthurlisi9296]

P rod is speaking from a level few of us will understand .. most games are played to warm up between friends.. yeah, we wanna win but you gotta run thru the basics a little.. kick flip first is mandatory .. all people like prod know how to do is compete ,that why he’s one of the greats. But most of us aren’t looking for that. We just wanna have fun with our friends and use skateboarding to get away from the seriousness of the world..

Step 1 to beating Nyjah in SKATE....do any trick , but make sure you emphasize that you were not using your Apple Earbuds.... honestly I'm super curious what a Street League Championship or an intense game of SKATE would be like for Nyjah if he didn't have his electronic earplugs (Earbuds) in. It's easy to crank up some beats with noise cancellation.

Also, know your opponents skill level. If I’m playin a rando at the park, I’ll start east and feel it out, if I’m playin my homie who is on the local shop team….
