Trick of The Week - Hugo’s Kickflip

My bad “close submissions” was probably the wrong choice of words. Of course everyone is obviously welcome to continue to post their version of the weeks trick.

I meant it as a timeframe to pick the next trick.

Just pick whenever, it’s entirely up to you.

This is already fun and we haven’t even got going yet

Good effort y’all

Took my daughter to the park this morning figured I’d give this a go. I hardly ever do kickflips anymore, there’s a reason for that. Kind of thinking I shouldn’t have bothered doing it moving as it’s barely rolling. Thinking about it though I hadn’t done this I wouldn’t have skated today so all is good.

Sad times.
Within 10 minutes of rolling around and trying a couple of flips, my legs are in too much pain.
Really fucking frustrating not being able to do what you love.

So, because the current ‘trick setter’ personally picks a new ‘trick setter’, does that mean the ‘one-like-only’ rule doesn’t apply any more? Have I missed this somewhere? I can’t kickflip so I’m just here lurking :man_shrugging:t2:

I hear you that it’s

… but wouldn’t it be less so if you hadn’t been off your board for

?

Anyway don’t mind me,

Arthritis in my knee is the answer to that.

Fair do’s, that’s me shut up then isn’t it.
(I get “non-specific rheumatoid inflammation” in my knees, the left one particularly, and wear a neoprene sleeve thingy to keep it down… do those help you at all? Or is yours worse than my piffling little complaint?)

Not sure what this means.

I hope the next trick is one for you :slight_smile:

No worries.
Mine is just generally ruined with clunks and weakness because of damage to ACL, PCL etc etc.
Sleeves don’t really help and I found them to be something I couldn’t ignore when wearing one, really distracting.
The main prohibiting factor is not being able to settle into the ready to pop stance because all the clunking and weakness is about exactly where that biting point, for want of a better description, is.
Anyway, you lot get your kickflips in, chop chop.

I’ll aim to make it as inclusive as possible

Phewf

This is rad.
I can’t wait to see Naan’s trick.

I thought when this idea of the weekly trick comp started, it was supposed to be each person only had one ‘like’ to use per trick, then whoever had the most ‘likes’ would be the person setting the next trick.

I might have missed it somewhere but I think this system has been scrapped now, just wanted someone to confirm so I could keep lurking and dish out some more ‘likes’

Yea buddy I’ve been liking everything on principle. Trick setter picks their favourite

Normally I’d find this sort of endless discussion of how this thing is supposed to work tedious, but I’m hoping it carries on long enough for me to learn how to kickflip in the meantime.

Just left the house, going to get a new rig at 3 amigos and then I’ll go stink up cantelowes. Anyone out in London today hit me up!
