Sniper taps and legit tailpresses for me. Took several seasons to learn how do do them properly. I still have problems doing sniper taps.

sort of an obvious answer but unnatural tricks

i almost never slide rails unnatty (unless im spinning into it, for some reason that makes it easier) and my ego just can't handle people seeing me slide off a rail early and thinking that's my natural side

S rails suck to get, but that feeling when you get it is unmatched.

yea I'm going to have to say a nice looking 3. When i first learned them i was like oh yea this will be easy, but the style part took a bit of time to dial in.

Very true. I got 3's down last year and I'm focusing 100% on style this year instead of going for bigger rotations.

I looked like a fucking pencil when I first started.

180 to switch 50-50 pretzel 180 out on anything but boxes is pretty hard, but I wouldn't say it looks easy either

haha, straight up an ego thing for me too.

good looking blunt/cuban/stalefish grabs with spins took me a while to get under control as well

tighten your core up when you spin maybe bang out some crunches the night before, youll be doing 5s out in no time

spinning onto rails took me a long fucking time to figure out, spinning on and spinning out was super easy though which makes no sense to me but whatever.


and I just don't go upside down. I'll cork 3 sometimes but the risk of hitting me head more outweighs a lot of things.

For sure. I think 180's and safety grabs are the only things that came easily to me.

-overshifties when you are backwards in the air. I almost died trying this the other day and I have so much respect for anyone who can do them properly now

-cork 7s have been fucking me over for 3 years ( I did kinda give up on them 2 years ago) I just seem to stay corked :(...

-4s out of rails that are barely off the ground. I CANNOT DO THIS SHIT. I seriously dont know how people can spin so fast I get scissoring but when I try my body just says no fuck you and I stop and edgecatch to eat shit a bit past 270

-Nollie onto rails. I always just look like an idiot when I try them but thats probably because that is a legit trick that is only for good skiers

If you pop hard enough they aren't terrible, they won't be consistent but they will happen. You need to rush it a lot and it just looks kind of dumb.

The referenced post has been removed.


I tried earning how to hit rails switch this weekend and learned switch talks over instead of just switch on. Total awesome accident.

I'm gunna say that 3a are the hardest tric ft me though.

You need to spot the landing, not just tuck so you now how much more or less rotation you need. Then you will adjust and the chances are a lot higher that you land it.had the same problem before too.

And layouts are cool...
