Craeger can do it both stances in the same line…in a bucket hat…and still pass…so there.
He could be wearing ankle revealing loud chequered flares or tie dye swishy pants and still get a pass.

Bs crook nollie bigspin out that’s the worst! learnt them years back thought I was tech haha unlearnt them shortly after.
Think crook to fakie is only passable in switch but even then it’s a risk
Tell you what, I learnt nollie switch Ks first then quickly realized that doing them back to regular was almost easier and did them like that too for years, without ever seeing anyone do them. They felt cool so I kept doing them but it seemed like this trick didn’t exist. Then 4 or 5 years ago, they appeared in vids.
Louie Lopez does two really cool ones in that new FA vid. 6:36 and 6:44

They’ve definitely come up way more recently! I was hyped Karl Watson liked mine (CMOAC) back to regs so I figure that means they’re ok…
Where are we on half cab crook to fakie…
Totally legit in my book, and the gentleman’s bail is actually harder with these than with nollie switch Ks, at least for me.
1:32, fuck oui.
Wait nollie switch crook? Like a nollie 180 into a crook?
Yeah.
Fs nollie to switch crook.
Could get into them but never out into switch.
Back to regs only.
Yknow I don’t think I’ve ever tried this. In my mind coming back to regular would be the only way it’d work. Surely perfectly legal
It’s tricky because you’re already well swung into going round 180 so to kind of revert back out to the right way is a bit of a fight against what your shoulders have begun already.
I’ll try it when I’m better but it’s definitely going to be a slow one
If you’ve got a decent and stable frontside nollie, that would help.
I did nollie to tails and then realised its just a bit of a braver move to nollie a bit more high and add the rotation to get your truck up there instead.
You don’t even really have to nollie higher to get into a switch K, but being closer to the ledge will help.
Depends what ledge your skating.
It’s gonna be equally high if you nollie tailslide it or if you nollie switch crook it… Unless you are high?

Definitely had dealt with them with a slightly more pronounced nollie, as though my intention was a 180 rather than to slot the tail in place after only needing to get the required 90 degrees for the tailslide.
Edit: yes, I am a little high.

I fucking LOVE taking intricacies of tricks and I’m fairly sure I piss people off at skateparks quite regularly by doing it
Just learn a nicely paced and properly popped fs nollie, son.
The rest will follow.
I fucking love nollies, just not that one
Not that it matters but is it not a fakie krooks (rather than a switch krooks) if you nollie into it.
Sounds well ‘switch fakie nollie’ lol
Nollie switch crook = Baines grind
