Yeah, that is fine but do we really need to see it at all if there is nothing worth seeing in there? Makes the skaters with nothing impressive look bad.
Luckily there was a bit sprinkled around by others.
I think, if they looked like they had fun then I’d see this totally different but they don’t so I assume whatever I assume.

Really? I’d say they all look like mates having a good time abroad and that came across to me

Like I said, some do, some don’t. The people who look like they were having fun had good footage (I mentioned their names) the others looked miserable or angry and had questionable footage.

Yeah, come on, fun police? ‘That guy isn’t smiling enough for my tastes. Get rid of him’.

That said, from Slap:
“With all filmers biting the Strobeck style, your roll up and landing facial expressions becomes just as important as the trick…”

Smiling never made anyone cool.

I had a sequence in a mag once and was smiling in the last frame, someone genuinely asked me why I was smiling, I said “Because I was happy…” and he just looked at me like I was a massive loser… Didn’t realise smiling was a no no…

Torey Pudwill did a back tail inward heel and it looked passable.
Can’t remember where I saw it, but someone did a back tail varial kick flip and it looked sick

Thing is, if you’re out and about skating, as well as being as good as he is, you’d do daft stuff just to see if you can without giving a fook how it looks.
Part of the fun of skating.

Exactly. A thing I love is that feeling when you land a trick for the first time. I can’t describe it but there’s nothing like it, and it’s one of the best feelings in the world to me, even if I spent an hour trying something weird and obscure that I’ll never try again. Plus it helps you get more board control, which is always a plus.
We should worry less about what looks cool and do what feels fun and experience more. And that applies to life, not just skateboarding.
Alright, I’ll stop before I sound too preachy (too late I suppose, haha).
@Garlicnaan Pretty sure Tyler Bledsoe did a backtail inward heel too.

Yeah, it’s impressive and should be done if you think of it, and why not? The trick is to be able to curate what you do into a package for the people to see with the best looking stuff.
Social Media is kind of taking style away from skaters but at the same time adding more. If you see the stuff you’re not meant to see you can get a flavour of them in real life which can be a good thing. But imagine if back in the mid 90’s we saw every trick Gino would do at a session, would we still have him held as high as he is? Possibly, but we’d definitely see a less savoury side to his skating that may taint his track record that we did actually see.

Absolutely!
Social media give us weekly new Cromer footage which is a treat too.

I always thought the illegality of the crook to fakie (the gentlemans bail) applied to switch crooks as well, spent ages learning nollie to switch crook popping out to fakie mid ledge cos I didn’t wanna do it back to regular, then I learnt them back to regular and you know what, they feel good…
Then I saw Frankie Villani open a part with nollie to switch crook back to regs and I’m wondering if it was even an illegal in the first place…
