switch-tre-lip-done-stinking

360flip to rails is something that you can’t make look good and there are loads of generic street leaguers doing them badly that it makes them an ugly trick. Insanely hard I bet but unimpressive.

I’m torn over whether I like it or not, it’s just weird and unexpected.

Theres an amazing sequence of him doing one in transworld (I think) donkeys years ago and it’s beautiful. Can’t find it though.

This is when it was brand new to do something like this so it does not count. Geoff was one of the first to do it and probably the first to take it to bigger rails. When I say ugly I’m talking recent years where style has changed especially with the 360flip. Not to say that no one has done a decent one since, there are probably some but in general it’s done by not very interesting, generic skaters.

Good call, that looks pretty nice to me anyway :man_shrugging:

He kind of switches stance doesn’t he? Thats what makes it odd.

I have a clip of one ā€˜slid’ for maybe 6 inches on a 6 inch high bar. Only specially trained police officers are permitted to watch it. Even Tyrone Olson would feel queasy.

POST IT!

I’ll try and work out how. It’s on my phone locked under every encryption known to man and beast. The trouble is if I post it I can never shit talk on anything ever again. Hmm.

Exactly, ammo :wink:

Ride away clean yeah?

that was pretty nice! (minus the landing haha)

been trying to learn switch tre lips, they don’t seem that hard in theory but no luck so far. will probably be stinking if it does happen as well

Yeah it’s rad for us normal folk to do, no matter how sketchy ha.

Pat Duffy did them long before Rowley.

I think they’re more scary than hard if you’re good enough to have solid 360 flips and half decent lipslides.

Has anyone done its fakie version, fakie 360 flip fakie backlip? Could look rad if done well. I think Franky Villani did it. Pretty sure he can even if he hasn’t vent tried it yet.

360 flips noseslides are kinda cool.

Tom Watts had a banging Tre Lip.

Approaching frontside a tre to frontboard would be nice

Nah he means a full 360 flip to front board. I would be surprised if that French boy who wears tracksuit bottoms hasn’t done that.
