Still Shredding, After All These Years, Still Shreddin...
My quasi-insane list of what I've done on a skateboard in the past and what I hope to be able to do once again.
The Comeback List Of Tricks
For about a month, I’ve been skateboarding once a week for between 15 minutes and an hour. It’s my comeback. I think this happens to all former skate rats right around this age.
I’m pleased and impressed with what I can still do. In order to keep myself inspired, I’m going to assemble a list of what I was once able to do and I what I can still do today, as well as manuevers I might be able to pull if I apply myself.
I feel like I’m forgetting tricks, if I remember, I’ll update this list.
Both Feet On, Over Bolts, Totally Solid, Then and Now:
- Ollie, switch, regs
- Kickflip
- Pop Shove It-Frontside, Backside, both switch and regular
- Half cabs-every which way
- 180s-frontside, backside, switch and regular
- Crooked grind to fakie
- Noseslide- backside
- Big Spin - fakie
- 50-50 - on a smallish ledge
- Front tail - small ledge
- I’m thinking I could do front and back boardslides, but I don’t have a flat bar to test this theory
If I Apply Myself, Probably, Though Watch For Toe Drag
- Backside Flip
- Half cab flip backside
- Frontside Noseslide
- Switch Heelflip
- Big spin, regular and nollie
- Nollie Tailside
- Switch noseslide both back and front
- Lipslide
- Full cab, both nollie and regular
I Did Em Once, I could Probably Do Em Again:
- Nollie backside heelflip
- Switch heelflip
- Switch crooked grind
- Frontside crooked grind
- Nollie heelflip
- Front board shove it
I Was Never Particularly Good At These, So I’m Not Holding My Breath:
- 360 Flip
- Frontside crooked grind
- Fakie 360 flip
- Nollie backside kick and heel flip
- Fakie frontside kickflip
- Nollie and switch flip
The Beagle Bump
My friend is going to start having bi-monthly group art shows at her house in West Philly. Every show is going to have a theme. The first theme is hibernation. It is February 27th. I don't really know what it's gonna be like but I plan on checking it out. There is going to be a party afterward. If anyone wants to get in on the next show let me know. I don't know the theme yet. In the words of Freshman, "There's gonna be a lot of hot girls there!"
