sk8 & LP forever

Evo, i ja sam se začudio kad mi je došla želja da napišem novi post.Pošto sam ih u zadnjih godinu napiso ni 10, valjda mi je došla želja da napišem sve vijesti iz svijeta skejtanja i Linkin Parka,naravno.I da ne zaboravim od svih vijesti,napomenut vas da posjetite ovaj blog:nina.Da samo kažem par riječi o ovoj curi-prelijepa Splićanka koja voli sk8 i sve vezano uz njega,i obožava Connect.Jako mi je drago što sam upoznao osobu s kojom imam toliko zajedničkih stvari.

A sada da krenemo sa novostima,od najsvježijih do onih koje su mi ostale u pamćenju.
Najnovija vijest je Finale Street Skate-a na X Games 13.Prijenos preko neta je trajao preko sat i pol,i cijena je bila potrošiti 300 mb,no stvarno se isplatilo.Na njemu su bila sva najveća imena sk8 estrade.Po mom mišljenju,a i očito po mišljenju sudaca najbolji je bio Chris Cole.

Uz Jamie Thomasa on je glavno lice Zero ekipe.Iako je Chris Cole bio uvjerljiv sa trikovima poput Kickflip 360 i Nollie Heelflip 360,iza njega je odma bio Greg Lutzka koji je razarao sa trikovima poput Fs Flip to Lipslide 180 out i 270 Ollie to Nosebluntslide i ti trikovi su ga skoro doveli do pobjedničkog postolja.

Mike Shinoda i Danny Way(kralj megarampa) su na X Games chatali sa svojim fanovima


Evo konačnog poretka 10 najboljih.

A sada malo o novom uratku Globe ekipe.Odlučili su napraviti novi sk8 film,ali na potpuno novi način.Izdat će 6 epizoda u kojoj će jedan skejter biti glavno ime tog nastavka.Ime ovog projekta je United By Fate.Rodney Mullenova epizoda je zadnja,ali i najočekivanija od svih,jer je objavio da ćemo vidjeti nove trikove.U prvoj epizodi glavno ime je Paul Machnau o kojem možete pročitati u postu o Globe-u.Drugu epizodu predstavlja Chris Haslam , po mom mišljenju drugi najbolji skejter iza Rodney Mullena.Druga epizoda je jako očekivana i izlazi 18.7.


Možete je očekivati,no dotada pogledajte prvu epizodu.

United By Fate Episode 1



I zadnja vijest,pošto mi se neda više pisat,a i žurim van na sk8.Ovu vijest sam odavno trebao objavit,al je pišem više zbog njih.Kao što svi znate,LP je izdao svoj dugoočekivani novi album,zvan Minutes To Midnight.

Izašao je 15.5. i izdan je u 3 vrste.CD izdanje,CD i DVD izdanje,te Limited Fan Edition koje je koštalo hrpu para,a neznam jel se išta korisno dobilo.
Eto,to je sve od mene nakon dužeg vremena,a ako se još nečeg važnog sjetim to ću i postat.Do tada SK8 4 LIFE i evo par linkova nevjerojatnih sk8 videa

Sk8 part od našeg najboljeg domaćeg skejtera-Filip Kisin''Fio''
Sk8 part-Denis Pušić

Napokon sam čuo i vidio what i've done i pjesma je presavršena,i opet sam od LPST-a dobio malo bannera kojih moram stavit na blog.Svrha je da natjecatelji dobe što više posjeta na taj banner.Pa ljudi,navalite,i skinite si usput official sliku od novog albuma.

Mislio sam do izlaska What I've Done ništa ne objavit,al sam nabaso na ovaj video i jednostavno sam ga trebao stavit.Ovo je jedan od najboljih amaterskih videa koja sam ja ikad vidio.Da ne pomislite da je o LP-u,to je sk8-anje.(ZAČUDO)

Evo,ja sam se učlanio nedavno u LPST.Za sve koji nisu znali za to,odite na www.lpstreetteam.com.Nakon što pošaljete sve svoje podatke,i ispunite formulare na toj stranici(ako se želite učlaniti),morate pričekati tjedan do dva da vam dođe mail sa obavijesti kako ćete biti uskoro član street team-a.Cilj LPST-a je da što više promovirate Linikin Park,te da skupljanjem bodova dobijete vrijedne i lijepe nagrade.Pa ko želi nek se učlani.


Prva slika za prvi singl "What I've Done":

Evo,već duže vrijeme nisam objavio post jer zapravo nisam ništa zanimljivo imao za napisati.U međuvremenu sam pogledao 10-ak novih sk8 filmova,snimao za svoj part sk8 videu kojeg radimo ja i moj frend,i pokušali smo raditi malo na novom dijelu našeg filma(VDT),no neuspješno.Ima dosta novih vijesti u svijetu muzike,pod tim mislim na Linkin Park.Objavljeno je da će izdati novi album,15.05.2007.,zvan Minutes to Midnight.



Prvi singl će biti What I've Done,koji će biti objavljen 2.04.2007 no negdje sam pročitao da će u zemljama izvan SAD-a biti objavljen dan ranije.Praktički neznamo što očekivati,no članovi benda kažu da imaju potpuno novi zvuk,a Chester je čak rekao da je njihov stari stil koji svi poznajemo,sada zapravo umro.Objavljeno je na internetu 30 sekundi njihovog prvog singla,i zasada što sam ja čuo,ne zvuči uopće loše.Evo vam link pa poslušajte-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bN2GRtWJLI
Usto imaju i novi logo,koji vidite na slici.Neznam zašto su to napravili,jer im je onaj stari baš bio originalan.Jedino što ne želim je da ovaj novi album bude razočaranje,jer su ga radili 14 mjeseci,što bi trebalo značiti da je ovo masterpiece.
A što se tiče ovog sk8 filma koji radimo,objaviti ću ga prvom prilikom,no još nije gotov,odnosno,ja još nisam snimio sve što trebam,tako da će još malo potrajati.Zasada bi to bilo to.Evo još jedan link koji preporučujem svim ljubiteljima skejta.

Ali Jusović-Slovenski Rodney Mullen-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8jIc5Vr3HE

Evo posta nakon dužeg izbivanja.Nisam imao o čemu pisat.U zadnja dva mjeseca sam s frednom snimao za naš sk8 video,malo za drugi dio našeg filma,otvorio novi blog za film koji i nejde baš najbolje:vdt.blog.hr.
A ovo što stoji u naslovu je jedan preludi video od Mike V-a,koji sam našao na Net-u.Stavio sam ga na blog da ga pogledate,da vidim šta imate reć na tog luđaka.

Malo sam surfao po internetu i slučajno sam naišao na jednu savršenu biografiju od Rodney Mullen-a.U 3 nastavka je i saastoji se od isječaka iz njegovih sk8 filmova,komentara poznatih skejtera,kao što su:Mike V,Tony Hawk i Jamie Thomas.Nadam se da ćete pogledat sva tri dijela jer su stvarno zanimljvi i možete saznati neke stvari koje možda niste znali o skejtanju.

Jedna od onih firmi za koje se misli da su kao i sve druge,ali ako nešto pokušate o njoj saznati začudit ćete se,kao i ja.Na Globe.tv sam našao puno zanimljivih stvari i preopaku ekipu.Staviti ću samo ekipu od Globe-a,a ako želite nešto više saznati odite na:www.globe.tv

P.S.-Danas mi je 16. rođendan!!!

Neznam jesam li igdje spominjao da će film biti gotov,ali za svaki slučaj da kažem da je nakon 9 mjeseci napornog rada završen film pod kraticom VDT-Volovčica Destruction Tour,film u kojem smo ja i moja dva prijatelja.Ovaj film je sačinjen od sprdačina na tv reklame i na sve moguće druge teme.Glavni film je do kraja gotov,ali još je ostao kao dodatak,sk8 film,koji nije ni započet.Glavni film traje 40 minuta i stvarno smo se nažvcirali dok smo ga snimili,smislili ideje i montirali ga.Neda mi ga se u detalje opisivat pa samo imam za reć,da svi koji su zainteresirani neka pričekaju premijeru na RTL-u(just kidding).
Do drugi put:SK8 OR DIE!AND MAKE MOVIES!!

Pogledajte trailer za najnoviji nastavak Tony Hawk-ove igrice.




Za više informacija odite na http://www.tonyhawksproject8.com/.

Evo napokon novog posta.Ako niste bili duže na blogu možete sa strane sada vidjet nove slike LP-a i FM-a.Ako ih želite uvećati naravno kliknite na njih,a svaki put kad kliknete na jednu od njih,dajete deset bodova članu Fort Minor qishare-a čija je ta slika.Pokušajte što više otvarat te slike jer se osvajanjem tih bodova osvajaju razne nagrade.Ako želite saznati više odite na www.qishare.com/fortminor/.

Napokon će biti izgrađen novi sk8 park u Zagrebu,na Bundeku.Nabavio sam sa sk8atbundek.blog.hr nacrte i sva ta sranja,kak bi trebao izgledat "Bundek sk8 park".Najbolja stvar je što je blizu,ulaz je besplatan i bit će stoput više stvari nego na Jarunu.Oni koji neznaju gdje se nalazi Bundek,to je u Novom Zagrebu,odmah pored Zapruđa.Uglavnom kad se otvori tamo ćemo se vidjet.Nadajmo se da će bit uskoro izgrađen!!!
SK8 OR DIE!!!

Nakon što sam ga nedavno nabavio,zahvaljujem Danieli,mogu ga i malo komentirat.
To nije nikakav koncert,festival ili tak nešto.To je skup svih spotova sa Hybrid Theorya i malih dijelova koji opisuju Linkin Park,njihov nastup i,pomalo,njihov život.Ujedno je o dobar i zato što ima neke skrivene dijelove koje ćete moći pročitati u opisu sa jedne web stranice.Preporučam svima koji vole Linkin Park da ga nekako pokušaju nabavit jer je stvarno zanimljiv,a i ima sve spotove,tak da se i to može pogledat,poslušat,ripat...
Evo sad i opisa sa te stranice:

Easter eggs
Frat Party at the Pankake Festival has five hidden easter eggs included. To access these hidden chapters, use the following as a guide.

Place for my studio footage
This first easter egg will require the use of your DVD remote control. First, activate subtitles. Go to the "Chapter Selection" screen and select the "Beginnings" chapter. When Brad Delson is talking, the words "from the beginning" will appear at the bottom of the screen. When the words appear at the bottom of the screen, press the "Enter" button on your remote. You will be taken to a video of early studio footage from 1999, before the band was signed. The song that they are performing is "Esaúl," which would later become "A Place for My Head" on Hybrid Theory.

Points of alternate
This easter egg will also require that you have your remote control. Go to the "Disk Setup" screen and wait. Do not press any buttons. After about two minutes and 45 seconds, the screen will change and a honeycomb-like keyboard design will appear. Using your remote, enter the following sequence of numbers: 1-4-8-5-9-5-2. After entering the sequence, press the "Enter" button on your remote. You will be taken to a video depicting an alternate version of the "Points of Authority" video featured in the main title.

One step backwards
This easter egg is fairly easy to find. Simply turn on the "Director's Commentary" audio track and watch the video for "One Step Closer." The audio track will be playing backward while the video will still be playing forward.

Broken table in London
Just press your 'go to', program, ... button, and enter title 3, chapter 1

Trivia

• The band purposely misspelled the word "pancake" in the title of the DVD and have been quoted as saying that it is the "worst name that we could think of."
• The bluegrass version of "Crawling" is noted as being an audio-only feature on the DVD; however, there is a video of the All-Star Band playing the song on the DVD, with members of Linkin Park standing around them within the making of In The End music video section.
• Frat Party at the Pankake Festival has been released in three editions: a standard edition with a DVD case; a VHS edition; and a standard edition with a CD case (the latter of which was released on September 2, 2003).

Evo kao što svi znate,Linkin Park se bacio na stvaranje novog remek djela,koje će izać pred kraj ljetnih praznika(nadam se).Svi njihov novi album željno isčekuju,no morat će se još malo strpit i pročitat što članovi benda imaju za reć o njihovom novom uratku.



Mike Shinoda Says Linkin Park Halfway Done With New Album

Mike Shinoda occupies the upper echelons of the "TRL" countdown thanks to "Where'd You Go," his somber duet with Holly Brook, recorded under the alias Fort Minor.Thanks to the song's success, Fort Minor's album, The Rising Tied, has leapt 96 spots up the Billboard albums chart. And over the next few months, Shinoda will release Brook's debut, Like Blood, Like Honey, on his Machine Shop Recordings, as well as serve as the executive producer on the upcoming record by Southern California hip-hop collective Styles of the Beyond.The question begs to be asked: Why would Shinoda turn his attention back to Linkin Park, who have been largely inactive and battling their label since last May (see "Linkin Park Can Get Back To Making Music After Settling Label Dispute")?"Going back to Linkin Park is like going back home," Shinoda said. "I always joke that I came into hip-hop through the back door, because people know me from Linkin Park, first and foremost. And so when they hear my album, they go, 'Oh, there's the Linkin Park guy.' When I was putting together the Fort Minor record, it probably would've been easier to put my name on the front of it or to make songs that sounded like Linkin Park. But it's all about making something that's honest."And since early this year, Shinoda and the rest of Linkin Park have been gathering in Los Angeles with producer Rick Rubin to begin work on a new album, their first since 2003's Meteora (see "Linkin Park Say They're Going To 'Break Outside The Box' With Rick Rubin"). So far, the sessions have yielded something in the neighborhood of 60 songs, Shinoda said."When we were making Meteora, we wrote 70 to 90 songs to come up with the 12 tracks that are on the album," he said. "For this one, we're going to write more than that. We're about halfway into it. But it'll be out this year. And I can already tell that the record is going to sound a little different than our previous ones."Rick and I are going to be producing it together, and that's something different too," Shinoda continued. "We've always based who we are on the fact that we all listen to different kinds of music, and we try to mix all those different styles as seamlessly as we can. And Rick's done everything from Beastie Boys and Run-DMC to Dixie Chicks and Justin Timberlake and Slayer. At the core of his being, Rick understands so much. He doesn't have to work for it. So in the studio, there's no thought, there's just feeling."Shinoda said Linkin Park are close to determining just where they'll record the new album. He said Rubin's Laurel Canyon mansion — which has played host to sessions for everyone from Slipknot to the Red Hot Chili Peppers (see "Peppers Say Return To Sex Scene Yielded Different Magik") — is definitely the early front-runner."We're starting to get a feel for what the songs are sounding like, and we're going to determine where we want to work based on them," Shinoda said. "It's early, but from what we've already heard, we can't wait to get into a studio. We're completely excited to start work."



In the latest Linkin Park Newsletter, Chester stepped in to answer some questions from fans about the new album.

What is the writing process like?

"It’s fun. We all get a chance to release and contribute creatively. Rick Rubin, the producer on our new record, has us working in a style that we’ve never done before, so it’s different for us. We’ll come up with ideas individually then come together and work on it as a band. We decide together what direction the songs will go... but this album will be more vocally driven than any of our other ones. So usually, Mike and I write lyrics, and the rest of the guys write their parts to them. Brad is really great at structuring the songs. It’s obviously a lot of work, but I love my job, so it makes working fun for us."

Do you and Mike write together?

"We both write songs and melodies, and we both have our own personal things we write about, so some of the songs start out separately then we put them together and work on them together. But we both have songs that we’ve written on our own. Usually we tweak each other’s stuff and go from there."

Is there one main person who determines the lyricism?

"Nope, there are two. Me and Mike. But Mike is really good at making lyrics flow, so he perfects a lot of what we do together."

Does the whole band sit down together?

"Every week. We’re still in the early stages where we’re working out our individual parts first. Each of the guys write their own part for their own instrument. But we have a band meeting every week, and we partner up on a lot of what we’re doing. We get together at the studio every week and listen to each other’s stuff. Then we all get to decide what to keep, what to change and help each other with what we’ve been working on."

And the rest work on the production?

"Everyone does the production. But if you’re asking me if everyone works on their own parts, yes they do. But we all help each other out when we need it. We’re a band, so nothing is solo."

Is your writing a reflection of where you are in life?

"A lot has changed for me since Meteora. I married Talinda, and have 3 sons, so I guess as I’m growing up and getting older, so is the music. You can’t repeat the same things in life and not learn. The same goes for music with me."

Will the lyrical content be similar to any of your previous work or can we expect something TOTALLY new?

"Both. We’re still Linkin Park, and you’ll hear that. But we have a lot of material that is totally new and nothing you’ve heard from us before. Rick Rubin is producing the record, and he’s done so many different types of albums. We wanted something new but still with our vibe."

Are you also a writer in the traditional sense of the word i.e. short stories, fiction, etc.?

"Yes. I love to write stories and poems. I did an interview for a book recently, and it ended up to be a story of my childhood and how I was influenced to play music. It ended up to be about 6 pages."

Do you find your writing as a form of release or pseudo-therapy?

"Yeah. It gives me a chance to express myself creatively and to get my feelings out. Some people work out, some people paint, I write and sing. It lets me release my aggression and share my thoughts with fans and friends.

We can’t wait for you to hear the new music. Thanks for all your support, our fans mean the world to us and we’re so excited to see you on tour later this year."

Po samom nazivu posta ćete skužit da je ovo popis skoro svih sk8 finti na svijetu.Ako želite saznat nešto više o svim fintama samo čitajte.

A

Acid Drop
To ride straight off of an obstacle such as a ledge and drop to the ground without ollying. Fairly dull and unstylish, and not really a trick (more of an accident).

Airwalk
A grab trick involving holding the nose with your front hand while your legs split as if walking. In theory, the more 'steps' you can take while in this position the better the trick is, but rarely is it possible to take more than one or two. Originally an air trick invented by Tony Hawk, then developed into a flatland trick, the 'ollie airwalk', by Rodney Mullen - although technically it's a 'split kick' since Rodney doesn't actually have time to walk. Now hardly ever seen.

Alley-Oop
A trick performed in the air while turning the opposite or 'unnatural' way to the direction of travel. When travelling in the direction your toes are facing (toeside) rotating frontside 180° or more makes the trick an alley-oop. Conversely, when travelling heelside, rotating backside 180° or more is an alley-oop. Usually this occurs on a half pipe but is also sometimes seen in park skating on hips, quarter pipes and transfers. Any trick can be performed alley-oop but most often you will simply see frontside alley-oops and backside alley-oops. See those defintions for a more specific explanation of 'alley-oop'.

Anti Casper
A half impossible to nose casper. The skateboard is upside down with the point of the nose on the ground, raised at an angle and held up by the skateboarders back foot which is hooked under the deck. The skaters front foot stands on the underside of the nose. In this position the skateboarder can stall or slide along a suitable surface before flipping out of the anti casper position.

Axle Stall
A stall with both skateboard trucks planted evenly on the lip or object. Like a 50-50 grind without moving

B

Backflip
Pretty much exactly what it says - a backwards end over end flip of the rider and skateboard. This is only possible off of ramps, of course. This was invented by Andy McDonald in 1997, as confirmed by the man himself:

"...I was the first to do a backflip on a skateboard ... I did that in 97. It was just in an era when skateboarders and BMXers were sharing a lot of the same courses for competition. And BMXers could do backflips because they have handlebars and they can just pull back on them when they leave the jump. Inliners could do it because they're strapped in. But skateboarders couldn't figure it out because we're not strapped to our boards. So it was a matter of figuring out how to come off the ramp in such a way that the board sticks to your feet as you start to flip and you reach down and grab it."

Quote from this interview with Andy MacDonald.

Backside
Backside is often abbreviated to b/s. Along with frontside, this term is used to further define any trick involving rotation of the rider, and some tricks that involve a rotation of the board. Grinds and slides are also defined as backside or frontside.

When a skateboarder flips the board or performs rotations, if their backfoot is moving backwards the trick is backside. For example, doing a shuvit by kicking the tail of the skateboard backwards is a backside shuvit.

When grinding or sliding, backside is used when the rider has his back to the obstacle as he slides away from it, or in the case of grinds where the board is parallel to the obstacle, if the obstacle was behind the skater as he approached it.

Backside Air
Gaining air (usually out of a half pipe) and travelling in the direction your toes are facing while turning backside. A 180° backside air in combination with a simple grab is probably the most basic half pipe trick you can do.

Backside Alley-Oop
The opposite of a simple backside air (again usually seen in a half pipe); gaining air and travelling in the direction your heels are facing (heelside) while turning backside. Therefore, you are turning away from your direction of travel, and cannot spot your landing until the last second, making alley-oops much more difficult than basic airs.

Backside Boneless
Unlike many tricks, where the rotation of the trick doesn't change how the trick is done, a boneless is done differently when done backside -- the front foot is planted to the toeside of the deck instead of the heelside, and the front hand grabs the board on the heelside edge of the nose (unlike in a normal boneless, where the back hand grabs like an indy).

Backside Flip
Refers to a 180° backside kickflip. When the general term 'flip' is used in a trick name it almost always refers to a kickflip. Similarly, when the amount of spin (ie, the number of degrees) is not specified, the trick is almost always a 180° trick.

Backside Grab
When backside airs were first done, they were always done with a certain type of grab. As such, this grab ended up being called a backside grab. Now, most people call it a melon.

Backside Ollie
A backside 180° ollie; remember when the amount of spin is not specified, the trick is almost always a 180° trick. For more information on how to do a backside ollie, see this article on 180° ollies.

Bank Skating
Bank skating is using any kind of flat slope of varying steepness to do tricks on. The skater generally rolls up, does the trick, and rolls back down, but as with any obstacle, there are a variety of ways to skate it. Note that ditches basically consist of a multitude of banks.

Bastard Plant
A backside boneless to fakie.

Bearings
Part of a skateboard, located inside the wheels. Their function is to keep the wheels spinning/rolling when you aren't pushing. Bearings are commonly believed to be graded according to their ABEC value which is supposed to show how fast they are, anything from ABEC AA bearings for the slowest up to ABEC 9's for (as far as I know) the fastest.

This myth is shattered in this article on skateboard bearings.

Originally suggested by Steven Reuss who knows how to clean skateboard bearings.


Benihana
Essentially a tailgrab, with the back hand holding the tail, while the back foot is taken off the skateboard and extended downwards below the board on the heelside. A vert grab trick that was once popular in street and flatland skateboarding as well.

Bertslide
One of the original dogtown tricks invented by the Z-boys; simply crouching and placing a hand on the ground while sliding the skateboard and your body 180°. Submitted by Sal. Note - you see this all the time in old school videos and I have to say it looks pretty dumb nowadays. But this was invented when skateboarding was little more than surfing on concrete, and in fact was inspired by a surfer called Larry Bertleman (hence the title of the trick - Bertslide).

Big Flip
A 360° flip with a body varial in the same direction. Note the linguistic similarity to a big spin which is simply a 360° shuvit with a body varial in the same direction.

A body varial in the same direction as the spin of the skateboard is properly known as a body follow.

Big Spin
A combination of a 360° shuvit or pop shuvit and a body varial (see below) in the same direction. Read about practicing skateboarding on carpet for more details about shuvits and shuvit variations including big spins.

Bluntslide
An advanced slide where the board is at right angles to the obstacle but at a very steep almost vertical angle. The skateboard slides on a lip with the underside of the tail on the side edge and the wheels on the top edge, or in the case of narrow rails, between the wheels and the tail of the deck.

Similar to a tailslide but cranked more vertically.

Bluntstall
See bluntslide above; the same position without sliding. This is often seen in park and vert skating as a brief stall at the top of a quarter pipe, since to get into this trick all you need to do is keep the board vertical as you roll past the lip of the quarter pipe and stall with the back wheels hooked over the coping. The difficult bit is getting back into the quarter pipe.

Boardslide
A slide with the skateboard at right angles to and in the middle of the obstacle. The riders weight is distributed evenly between the nose and the tail.

In a boardslide the skateboarder approaches the obstacle (usually a rail, rarely a box or kerb) from either side and ollies onto the obstacle throwing the nose of the skateboard over it. This is the opposite of a lipslide.

A backside boardslide is where the rider approaches facing the rail and turns backwards as he ollies pushing the nose of the skateboard over the rail before landing on it and riding the trick out.

Body Jar
A backside nosegrab on vert where you smack your tail on the coping as you re-enter the ramp.

Body Varial
Simply a skateboarder turning in mid air without taking the skateboard itself with him (note that skateboard can be spinning as well, just not in contact with the feet). Just jumping 180° on your board is a 180° body varial.

If your board is spinning at the same time and in the same direction as your body varial, then a little known difference is that this is called a body follow instead of a body varial.

Bolts
Part of a skateboard - four bolts attach each truck to the deck. The bolts are used in skateboarding trick tips to help locate a riders feet, as they often provide the only point of reference on an otherwise featureless skateboard - for example "place your front foot just behind the bolts".

Boned
"Boning" a trick is a form of tweak performed by completely straightening one or both legs while in mid air. Doing so results in a boned version of another trick, most commonly a "boned ollie". In some cases, a boned version of a trick eventually takes on it's own identity and becomes to all intents and purposes an entirely new trick - a boned backside grab is now simply known as a melon.

Usually skateboarders bone the front leg, pushing the nose of the skateboard fowards as they do so (because this looks more stylish), so nosebone is pretty interchangeable with boned - eg, an "ollie nosebone".


Boneless
An old school way of getting airborne. The boneless was invented before the ollie. It involves stepping off the skateboard with your front foot and jumping off that foot while holding the board with your back hand. The boneless is discussed in the flatland skating article.

Boomerang
Originally a BMX trick name, I appropriated this to describe the simple yet quite cool trick of a shuvit with a body varial in the opposite direction. There is no 'official' name for this trick commonly agreed upon by skaters, so feel free to add your interpretation to the growing list of names.

Bowling Kickflip
Invented by Primo Desiderio, the Bowling Kickflip is a fakie kickflip (well, a classic flip to pretty much all non-freestylers) to a one footed landing. The difference between this and any normal fakie kickflip to one foot, however, is that you land on the nose, resulting in a fakie one footed nose drag, if you're following me. The major problem with this trick is that it's all too easy to make the nose stick on the floor and stop you dead, and to be honest, I don't think I've seen anyone but Primo do this trick.

BS or B/S
An abbreviation of backside. Or 'bullshit'. Your choice.

Butterflip
A specific form of railflip to 50-50 (the freestyle trick, not the grind). You start in a cooperflip position, and push the back foot forwards as you jump. This causes the nose of the board to rise, the board to do a three-quarter flip and (if you've timed it correctly) you should land with the back foot on the back truck with the nose of the board in your hand.

C

Cab Flip
A 360° fakie kickflip, not to be confused with a fakie 360° kickflip! The cab part of the trick name comes from caballerial which is a 360° fakie ollie.

Caballerial
This is a 360° fakie ollie. This means the skateboarder rides backwards in fakie and pops a huge ollie, rotating 360° in mid-air before landing back in fakie again.

The caballerial is named after the famous old-school pro-skater Steve Cabalero, who presumably was the first skater to land a 360° fakie ollie.

Calf Wrap
This one is extremely difficult to describe accurately, and right now I can't find any photos to reference. Basically, the calf wrap trick involves standing on one leg, with the other leg bent behind it and tucked into the back of your knee. The skateboard is held off the ground, clamped between the two legs.

This position is achieved by doing a modified no comply, stepping off the board with your front foot as you pop (this will be the foot you end up standing on) and scooping the skateboard backside and up as you do so in order to get it up between your legs. Once in the calf wrap stance, you can jump up and down a few times with the board held in place before manoeuvering the board with your legs in order to jump back into a more normal stance.

Cannonball
A grab trick where both the nose and tail are both gripped with either hand. Requires crouching down and making a vaguely ball like shape with your body and board, hence the name of 'cannonball'.

Carousel
Much like the Sidewinder, this is another specific truck-to-truck transfer. Think of it as a half impossible from a 50-50 truckstand to a switch 50-50 - still standing on the back foot.

Casper
A freestyle stance where the skateboard is upside down and balanced on the point of the tail. The skaters back foot is on the underside of the tail and the board maintains it's angled position by the skaters front foot being hooked under the deck. It is important to note that having the front foot on the floor is considered cheating, and not a proper casper.

Casper Disaster
Despite the name, this isn't a casper trick at all - it was just invented by the same man. Basically, it is a fakie 180° pivot in rail where the deck and the front wheel never touches the floor. The board is pushed through the pivot with the front foot on the grip, and when the 180° is complete, the deck is set back down to the wheels.

As this isn't the easiest trick to describe, here's a casper disaster tricktip from Bobstricktips.comto help you understand it.

Casper Flip
1. Any flip trick executed from a casper position. This may simply be half an underflip in order to land back in a natural stance, or any more elaborate trick involving any number of flips and varials to land in any conceivable stance including back into casper. This trick always needs further definition in order to visualise - for example, a 'casper flip out', 'varial casper flip to casper' or 'double casper flip to rail'.

2. Half a flip into a casper stance in mid air, then flipping out of casper and catching the board before landing. Usually this is half a kickflip into casper, followed by a varial underflip to get out of the casper position, but any number of variations are possible.

Casper Slide
A slide on a suitable surface in the casper position. Usually requires a flip of some sort into the slide, and a casper flip (see above) out again.

Caveman
A skateboarding trick probably best described as a jazzy way to mount your board. The skater begins with the board held behind him with his front hand and jumps into the air, putting the board under his feet with his hand and slamming down to the ground. Can be performed stationary, rolling, or into a half pipe, bowl or other obstacle.

Chef Salad
An ollie impossible landed straight into a 180° nose pivot.

Chicken Salad
A roast beef grab with the arm twisted round. In other words, where in a roast beef your arm goes straight down, so that your elbow is pointing at your groin, your elbow is pointed out in a chicken salad.

If you need a pic to understand this, the clearest example I could find was a wakeboarder doing one. Although it's a different kind of board, it's still the same grab.

Christ Air
A grab trick typically performed on a half pipe. After the skateboarder gains air from the vert ramp, he grabs the nose of the skateboard with his front hand as in a nosegrab and then extends his arms and legs in order to look like a capital 'T', or if you prefer, someone being crucified (hence the title of the trick). The skateboard is put back beneath the feet before landing and rolling away.

Classic Flip
An old school flip trick accomplished by hooking your toe underneath the skateboard and jumping. Classic flips are discussed in the flatland skating article. This was effectively the first ever kickflip, and is still called a kickflip today by die hard flatland skaters.

Coconut Wheelie
A coconut wheelie is like a railslide, but the deck never touches the floor - you actually hold it in a wheelie on the side of the board. Not to be confused with a sideride, which is far easier as you stand on the grip instead of the wheels.

Cooper Stand
A rail stand where the skateboarder is balanced at one end of the skateboard only, both feet bunched up around one wheel. Harder to balance, but (I think) enables far more flips to be performed out of the stance. This is named after Lynn Cooper, a famous freestyle skateboarder. Having said that, he never knew it was named after him, this was just how he always did rail stands.

Coping
The rounded section of pipe that is attached to the lip of a half pipe, ramp, or other skateboarding obstacle, enabling smoother grinds and lip tricks.

Corkscrew
One other possible name for the trick I now know as a boomerang. This was my initial name for the trick before I started calling it a boomerang.

Crail Grab
A nosegrab using the back hand instead of the front, meaning the back hand is taken across the front of the body.

Crailslide
A tailslide performed while grabbing the nose of the skateboard with your back hand across your body. Looks very cool.

Crooked Grind
This is a combination of a noseslide and a nosegrind, and is also known as a crooked slide, k-grind or simply 'crooked' or 'crooks'.

In order to do this the board must be off at an angle to the rail, hence the title 'crooked'. Note that in a crooked grind the board does not cross over the obstacle before connecting in the grind - that is known as an overcrook.

Like most grinds crookeds can be backside or frontside.

Crossbone
A grab trick where the front hand grips the heelside of the skateboard just inside the front foot with back leg boned. To do this, the front leg is tucked up and the nose of the skateboard pulled into the body.

Crossfoot
See x-foot.

D

Daffy Manual
Riding two skateboards with a foot on each, one in a nosemanual and one in a manual. Neversoft (via Tony Hawks Pro Skater) have propagated this trick as the 'Yeah Right Manual'. Thanks to a guy called Burnkiss for making this one clear to me.

Danish Wheelie
Although a Danish Wheelie is not really a wheelie, it ended up being called one nonetheless. You hook the front foot under the nose, move your back foot up the board until it is off the tail and past the truck slightly, and pull the board up with the front foot until you are sliding on the tail.

Darkslide
A darkslide is an upside down boardslide or lipslide. The skateboarder slides on the obstacle at right angles to it with his feet on the underside of each kicktail. The darkslide was invented, like so many other great skateboarding tricks, by Rodney Mullen.

By extension, it is also possible to do dark tailslides and dark noselides.

Deck
Part of a skateboard - the wooden part! A skateboard deck is generally made of seven layers of laminated maple wood. The idea is to make something strong yet light.

The size and shape of a deck has a big effect on what the skater can do with it. A typical skateboard is 7.75" wide. Technical street, flatland and trick skaters tend to prefer narrower, shorter decks which are easier to flip, while vert and ramp skaters tend to prefer longer, wider decks which are more stable at high speed and easier to balance on. Of course, personal preference and foot size must also be factored in when choosing a deck.

The concave of a deck measures the amount of curve from the middle to the edges. In general a deck with a lot of concave has more 'feel' and is a lot stronger than one with little or no concave at all.

Disaster
A lip trick or stall which is effectively a lipslide without sliding - placing the rear wheels over the lip with the board resting on the edge of the lip.

Ditch Skating
The term given to skating any of the drainage ditches that are so common in the west coast of America.

For those that don't know what a drainage ditch looks like, click here to see a good example.

Double Kickflip
A kickflip flicked sufficiently hard that the board spins two full flips, or 720°.

Drop In
Literally 'dropping in' to a half pipe or quarter pipe from the top. The skater usually starts in a tailstall position on the coping and from there tips the skateboard down and into the ramp.

Dropping in is one of the first big hurdles faced by anyone who wants to skate vert, as the skateboard (and rider) must be quickly transferred from a horizontal position to a vertical position and the slightest hesitation tends to result in the skateboard shooting out from under the rider.

E

Early Grab
Any grab trick that is grabbed before take off. Although generally done off or out of a ramp, they can be done off the floor by simply pulling the board up as you jump.

Eggplant
An invert done with the front hand planted and the board grabbed indy instead.

Elguerial
This is a fakie 360° invert. The name comes from a combination of the caballerial - a fakie 360° ollie - and the name of the inventor, Eddie Elguera.

Endover
Turning 180° with the board. Like switching except usually performed over and over and over again. See this flatland skating article for more information.

English Handstand
One of the harder handstands, this trick is basically nothing more than a standard handstand with both hands in the middle of the board, gripping onto the sides of the deck, which means that your body is parallel with the board during the handstand - making it a lot harder to balance. English handstand flips can be done with practice - working much like a classic kickflip.

English Wheelie
An English wheelie is the same as the Danish wheelie, but actually balanced and held as a wheelie instead of letting the tail drag across the floor.

F

Fakie
A skateboarding stance. In fakie the feet are positioned naturally but the skateboard travels backwards. The skater effectively stands at the front end of the board as it rolls and looks over his shoulder to see where he is going. This isn't as difficult as it may sound. In fact, riding fakie is only marginally more difficult than riding naturally. See this skateboarding article for more information.

Fakie Flip
A kickflip performed in fakie stance.

Fakie Ollie
An ollie performed in fakie. The trick is performed identically to an ollie, the only difference is that as the board is travelling backwards the fakie ollie is popped off of the 'front' of the board and because of this it is similar in appearance to a nollie, but way easier.

Fanflip
A fingerflip from pogo back to pogo.

Fastplant
An ollie resulting in a grabbed footplant on an obstacle or lip of some kind. This can be any kind of footplant (that is, a stall with one foot balancing on the obstacle and one foot on the skateboard) but the most common one would seem to be the front foot on the obstacle with the back foot on the skateboard, being held up by the back hand near the nose of the board.

Feeble Grind
A grind on the back truck on the obstacle with the skateboard at a slight angle thrown left of the obstacle if your right foot is forward, or right of the obstacle if your left foot is forward. The front wheels are therefore next to the obstacle instead of above it, and the middle of the deck itself often slides along the obstacle as well.

Fingerflip
A flip trick performed with the fingers. Fingerflips are a legacy passed down from flatland skateboarding where using your hands was one of the few ways you could do a flip. Fingerflips are performed by gripping either the nose or tail of the board with your fingertips and flicking your wrist to spin the board either toeside or heelside.

See also monkey flips.

Fishtail
Part of an old school skateboard - the kind of tail which got wider at the end like (duh) a fish's tail.

Flamingo
This is a very strange flatland trick - it's a one footed nose pivot done more like a 180° slide on flatland. As you finish the 180° spin, you end up standing on one foot, carving around fakie to complete a semi-circular turn. When this is finished, you put your back foot back onto the grip, resulting in you riding off fakie from the direction you originally came from.

The name "Flamingo" refers to the fact you're on one leg throughout. However, the good old guys responsible for the Tony Hawk's games messed it up AGAIN (refer to the "Reemo" and "Yeah Right Manual" for further examples of this) and called the calf wrap a flamingo for the same reason.

Flatland
1. The name for flat, smooth, level ground in skating. 2. A term for skating on flat ground, such as "he does lots of flatland skating". It's important to note that this differs from freestyle, as flatland skaters pay no real attention to flow, and don't use footwork to fill in the gaps between their tricks.

Flip
Generally, to refer to any trick where the board spins along an axis that runs the length of the skateboard. For example a kickflip or varial heelflip. Each full flip is a 360° rotation.

Where no other type of flip is specified, a flip refers to a kickflip, as in nollie flip or fakie flip.

FMX
FMX, or freestyle motocross, is an extreme sport involving motorbikes. Since FMX, or XFMX (extreme freestyle motocross) is currently outside the scope of Board Crazy, you'll have to continue your education at this XFMX tricktionary.

Footplant
A term for any trick where the foot is planted on the floor. However, it generally refers to the back foot being planted, especially in vert/ditch/bank skating, as footplants using the front foot have specific names (e.g. the boneless).

Footwork
Small, dance-like moves that are used in freestyle skateboarding to fill out the spaces between tricks.

Footwork generally varies wildly between skaters, but common examples are walk the dogs and endovers.

Forward Flip
This is a flip where you ollie and push the board down on the nose while you are in the air, resulting in the board nose-diving and flipping 180° end over end - with half a flip so that you can land back on the grip. As far as I know, there is no distinction between whether the half flip is in a kickflip or heelflip direction.

Freestyle
Freestyle is the original trick-based form of skateboarding, dating back to the early 70's. It takes a more artistic approach to skating, using a wide range of tricks (such as caspers, shuvits and rail tricks) on flat ground, with attention paid to flow and style.

However, at the start of the 90's, it was pushed out of skating by the skateboarding industry and media as street skating came in. However, it never died, and is currently becoming steadily more popular as an alternative form of skating.

Front Foot Impossible
This is an impossible performed using the front foot. Due to the nature of the trick, front foot impossibles are usually performed as a kind of late flip. This is because the board has to do a front flip around the front foot, which is awkward (to say the least) without gaining air first. Otherwise the same principles as with the impossible apply to the front foot impossible - a quick, circular motion of the front foot to get the board to roll around it.

This trick is not to be confused with a nollie impossible, which although would be using the front foot is a different kettle of fish entirely.

Frontside
Often abbreviated to f/s, the opposite of backside. Describes a trick performed by the rider or skateboard turning towards the riders front. Safe bet - if your back foot is moving forwards, the trick is frontside.

Frontside Air
Gaining air (usually out of a half pipe) and travelling in the direction your heels are facing while turning frontside. Frontside airs are more a bit more difficult than backside airs because you can't spot your landing as early, and in general most skaters find it more awkward to turn frontside.

Frontside Flip
A frontside 180° kickflip.

Frontside Ollie
A frontside 180° ollie.

FS or F/S
A standard abbreviation of frontside.

G

Gatair
A fakie 360° mute grab fastplant. Named after Mark "Gator" Anthony, who not only invented the trick, but later became infamous after killing a woman and burying her in the desert.

Gay Twist
This is a caballerial with a mute grab. Needless to say, people rarely do gay twists outside of vert and ramp skating.

Gazelle
This is a 540° shuvit where the rider of the skateboard also spins a 360° body follow (a body follow is a body varial in the same direction as the skateboard is spinning). Rodney Mullen does lots of gazelles in his video parts, and rightly so because they look sweet.

Gazelle Flip
Quite simply, a gazelle with any kind of flip.

Ghetto Bird
The ghetto bird is a 'signature trick' of pro skater Kareem Campbell, although like many signature tricks it's probable that the trick was landed well before Kareem popularised it. The trick itself is simply an illusion flip revert; in other words, you pop an illusion flip and then turn 180° after catching the board just as or just after you're landing.

Note: Many people will tell you that a ghetto bird is a hardflip revert, but I've watched Campbell do this trick a lot and he definately doesn't do a 'proper' hardflip (a flip that spins under the feet). The confusion stems from the fact that few people understand the difference between a hardflip and an illusion flip. That's not to take anything away from the trick, because illusion flips are still damn good and most people do "hardflips" that way anyway (in fact, I've never seen anyone do a proper hardflip).

Gingersnap
A flatland flip trick done out of hang ten stance, in which the rider is balancing with both feet facing forwards side by side on the nose of the skateboard. The flip consists of half a front flip and half a normal flip, achieved by jumping up sharply from both feet with a slight empasis on one side of the nose to get the side spin required. The board flips vertically beneath the riders feet, so he must tuck his knees nice and high to avoid the board before turning 90° in mid air and landing in switch or regular stance.

Gnar Jar
A 540° to tail. Broken down, this means you get air on a vert ramp, spin 540°, and slap your tail on the coping on the way down.

Godzilla Flip
An impossible from a tail stop that is started by pulling the nose of the board over your foot with your hand as you jump.

Be aware that there is a difference between this and the godzilla railflip.

Godzilla Railflip
A frontside varial railflip from toeside rail that flips 1.75 times in the heelflip direction.

Not to be confused with a godzilla flip which is a different trick entirely.

Goofy Foot
A term describing a skateboarder whose natural stance is right foot forwards. Goofy footed skaters are the minority - most skaters are regular footed.

Grab Trick
A trick involving holding a part of the skateboard with one or both hands while airborne. Grab tricks are common in vert skating where half pipes give plenty of hangtime, but are also seen occasionally in street skating off big ramps or kickers.

Grey Slide
Named after Jim Grey, the Grey Slide is a vert tailslide where the front hand grabs the nose and the back hand is on the coping, creating a layback slide variation.

Grind
The act of riding along an obstacle - usually a kerb, rail or ledge - on the trucks of the skateboard. This often makes a distinctive grinding noise. There are dozens of grind variations, some of the most common are the 50-50 grind, nosegrind, and the 5-0 grind.

Griptape
Part of a skateboard - the stickybacked sandpaper applied to the top of a deck to enable a skateboarders shoes to grip the skateboard.

Gymnast Plant
1. A no-footed invert on a ramp; the legs are extended upwards and held together perfectly in a good gymnast plant.

2. A one handed handstand from a rail stand or a tail stop position in freestyle skateboarding. One hand holds the board in the air while the other hand is planted on the floor. Note that your feet should never touch the floor in a good gymnast plant.

H

Half Cab
A 180° fakie ollie - half a cabalerial.

Half Pipe
The primary structure used in vert skating consisting of two concave ramps (or quarterpipes) facing each other. Originally a half pipe was simply that - a cross section of half a pipe - but modern half pipes usually have an area of flat ground between the transitioned sides to enable the skater more time to regain his balance between tricks and prepare for the next trick. Half pipes take two main forms - small mini ramps, used more for lip tricks and aimed largely at beginners, and vert ramps which feature a purely vertical wall at the top of the transition.

Handplant
A name for any move where a hand is placed on something to support the skater. The term generally refers to an invert variation, though.

Handstand
Much like the much-loved staple product of any British DIY'er, Ronseal, this does what it says on the tin. You just do a handstand on the board. Comes in fetching one handed, rolling, rail stand and English variants, with many different flips, shuvits and fingerflips out.

Handstand Fingerflip
These are slightly different to your basic handstand flips. Whereas handstand flips are pulled towards you, handstand fingerflips are flipped the other way, meaning that you actually have to use a hand at either end (like a cannonball grab) to actually flip the board.

Handstand Flip
There are many different types of handstand flip, the "basic" handstand flip involves gripping onto the toeside edge of the deck with your hands while in the standard handstand position and kicking your legs in the air to launch you upwards so you can flip the board under you - much like a monkeyflip.

Other types of handstand flip include varialflips, 360 flips, railhandstand flips, one handed handstand flips and english handstand flips. Note that handstand shuvits and handstand fingerflips can also be done, but both use a slightly different technique.

Handstand Shuvit
Yep, like flips, shuvits can also be done from a handstand. I've also heard of handstand bigspins being done, but have yet to see one.

Hang Ten
Refers to a stance where the skateboarder has both feet facing forward on the nose. It's named after a surfing trick where the surfer would hang their ten toes over the nose (not necessary in skateboarding, obviously). A hang ten nosemanual is possible if your balance is godlike.

Hangtime
The name given to the period of time spent in the air after launching from a half pipe, ramp, kicker or any other obstacle.

Hardflip
Apparently this is *the* tech trick of modern day street skating. This is a varial kickflip done the difficult way - you should know what a varial kickflip is before you try and grasp the hardflip.

The varial is popped frontside instead of backside, meaning that your front foot has to flick off the leading edge of the skateboard as it rotates to get the board to flip, making it very awkward.

To do this, you can 'cheat' and turn frontside in mid air, allowing the skateboard to flip between your legs, before turning back again to catch the board and land the trick. This is often known as an illusion flip. This variation doesn't look like a varial kickflip, which goes a long way to explaining the confusion that surrounds them. When you watch someone doing one, it looks like the board is doing half a back flip and half a kickflip. The trademark of this - the illusion flip - is the way the skateboard flips between the legs rather than under the feet.

The 'proper' way, if such a term can be used in skateboarding, is to make the skateboard do the varial under the feet. This is much more difficult and rarely looks as smooth as the easier version. This trick is the opposite of an inward kickflip.

Hardware
The collective name for the nuts and bolts which hold the trucks to the deck.

Heelflip
A variation on an ollie where the skater flicks his front foot off the toe edge of the board as he ollies, causing the board to flip once, twice or even three times. This is the opposite (and usually more difficult version of) a kickflip.

Heelie
A wheelie performed with both feet on the tail of the skateboard facing forwards - similar to a hang ten nose manual, except at the other end of the skateboard.

Heelside
Like frontside and backside, heelside is used to further define some rail tricks and tricks involving a flip, in this case towards the heel edge of the skateboard. This originated in flatland skateboarding where, along with the toeside definition, tricks could be better described. Still a useful term today if you are into fingerflips, rail flips etc...

Helipop
A 360° frontside nollie. That is, a three hundred and sixty degree ollie off of the nose of the skateboard. The helipop was invented by Rodney Mullen, and he would later invent the helipop heelflip.

Ho Ho Plant
A handstand done with both hands on the floor/coping, feet fully extended, and the board resting on top of the feet in what would be a normal riding position. Can be done as an invert on vert, from a street plant, or as a yoyo plant variation.

I heard rumours that a US freestyler called Terry Synnott can do yoyo-to-hoho plants and do ollie kickflip and shuvit variations while in the Ho-Ho position. Mad.

Hospital Flip
A type of casper flip. A half kickflip to casper position in mid air, followed by a varial half underflip to get your board back the right way up.

Hurricane
This combo grind trick consists of a 180° ollie into a fakie feeble grind. In more detail, a feeble grind is where the back truck grinds the obstacle with the front truck next to the obstacle on the toeside. The deck is therefore pointed downwards and the underside of the deck itself often slides along the obstacle as well. So do that backwards after ollying 180° and you'll be doing a hurricane grind.

I

Iceplant
A boneless to fakie.

Illusion Flip
Many people confuse this trick with a hardflip. An illusion flip is a type of hardflip performed vertically through the riders legs. To achieve this the skateboarder must rotate his body 90° frontside, before turning back to catch the board and land. The flip resembles a vertical pop shuvit but is in effect a half backflip, half kickflip, the opposite of a phobia flip.

Impossible
A very difficult trick originating in flatland skateboarding involving the vertical end over end rotation, or backflip, of the skateboard around the riders back foot. Like a pressure flip, in an impossible the front foot does nothing except get out of the way. If you watch one, the back foot scoops forwards as the rider pops, to start the backflip motion, and then whips around in a circular motion, as the board literally has to roll around the back foot to complete the trick.

This trick was invented by Rodney Mullen in the 80's after he was told that it would be "literally impossible" to get the board to flip end over end. After landing the trick, there was really no other name he could give it...

Indy
A grab trick where the back hand grabs the toeside edge of the board about half way along. This is the most common grab trick in vert skating.

Invert
Done on ramps, the invert is a handplant trick with many variations. In the basic invert, the board is grabbed mute and the back hand is placed on the coping to allow the skater to go completely upside down before re-entering the ramp.

Inward Heelflip
The opposite of an inward kickflip, an inward heelflip is a varial heelflip where the varial is popped backside instead of frontside. The rider must flick the heelflip off of the leading edge of the board as it turns, making the trick extremely difficult and impressive.

Note that this is a different trick to the version where you turn backside 90° in mid air and let the board flip between your legs, which is known as a phobia flip. Like the hardflip, phobia flips were created as an easier (though still not easy) version of inward heelflips. In an inward heelflip, the board must spin laterally underneath your feet, not through your legs.


Inward Kickflip
A varial kickflip where the varial is popped frontside instead of backside. See hardflips for more detail.

J

Japan Air
A grab trick - the skater grips the toeside edge of the skateboard behind the front trucks with his front hand, twists his body away from the grip and drops his front knee towards the deck. In the process, the board is pulled up behind and parallel to the skaters body. Confused? See Tony Hawk in action for clarification. Like most grab tricks, the further the board is pulled back or 'tweaked' the more stylish the trick is considered to be.

This correct definition brought to you courtesy of Anthony and Tony ganging up on me.

Jawbreaker
Primo Desiderio's version of the TV stand. Instead of having your main (read: strongest) arm on the bottom truck during the handstand, you have it on the top truck, making an already hard trick even harder.

Jolly Mamba
A miller flip that is taken out, over the coping, and stalled in an invert half way though.

Judo Air
The judo is a grab trick invented by Tony Hawk. It's a one footed nose grab where the front foot is extended to the toeside of the board in a mock martial arts flying kick.

K

Kerb Wax
Roadside kerbs are used as obstacles on which skateboarders grind and slide, and wax is often used to make the kerb easier to trick on, making the grinds faster, smoother and longer. Kerb wax is sold as a special product, while many skateboarders simply use a candle.

Kickback
The Kickback is an old freestyle trick that is pretty much the forerunner of all the ollie kickflip underflips Rodney Mullen does now. You put one foot into the middle of the board, leaving the other one across the board at the truck bolts, and jump up. As you do this, the foot that is in the middle of the board kicks down - making the board do a half-flip - then kicks up, making the board change direction. The basic kickback should flip 1.5 times on the second part of the trick, as half-and-half kickbacks are considered cheap and generally frowned on.

Kicker
A common street skating obstacle - a curved ramp designed to give a skateboarder maximum hangtime.

Kickflip
The classic street skateboarding trick. A kickflip is a variation on an ollie where the skateboarder flicks his front foot off the heel edge of the board as he ollies, causing it to flip once, twice or even three times before he 'catches' the board with his feet and lands the trick. The latter tricks are referred to as double kickflips and triple kickflips.

Kickflips can be learnt in a day but they take years to master, and a nice, high, sharp kickflip never gets boring. See the how to kickflip article which discusses kickflips in depth and gives practical advice on landing them.

Kickturn
Turning 180° while doing a manual or wheelie. Usually, this is just used to turn around in a tight circle or to turn around on a ramp to avoid rolling back down it fakie, but it can be incorporated into funky freestyle routines and so on.

Kingpin
Part of a skateboard - the large bolt that holds together the trucks and that acts as the pivot for what passes as the 'steering' on a skateboard.

L

Lapper
A lapper is an old plastic accessory that's still used in certain skating circles - most commonly in pool skating, I believe. It's a plastic pad that fits under the truck but extends out on the kingpin end. It then bends and comes up, forming a plastic slope up and over the top of the kingpin. This means that the chance of getting your truck "hung up" (in other words, stuck) on coping or curbs is reduced drastically.

Laser Flip
A frontside 360° heelflip - in other words, a fancy name for a 360° heelflip.

Late Flip
A general term for any flip trick or varial performed after ollying rather than as part of the ollie like with most flips. In order to do a late flip the skateboarder ollies very high and at the peak of his ollie will kick downwards or shove the board around with one, the other or both feet in order to accomplish some kind of late flip. Since either foot can replicate almost any other flip trick out there, a lot of late flip variants are possible.

Some common late flips are late front-foot kickflips, late back-foot heelflips and late shuvits.

Layback Slide
Generally, any grind or slide where one hand is trailing behind the skater on the coping, resulting in the skater literally "lying back". There are numerous variations on the layback, including the grey slide.

Lazer Flip
See laser flip. Yeah I'm English... deal with it.

Les Twist
Essentially a gaytwist with a melon grab.

Lien Air
A lien air was originally described as a "frontside backside grab". As we now call backside grabs "melon" for some reason (I will find out eventually), the lien air can be described more easily as a frontside melon grab on vert.

Lip Trick
Any trick performed on the lip of a suitable obstacle. Almost always refers to a stall on the coping of a half pipe or quarter pipe.

Lipslide
A slide on the middle of the skateboard where the board is roughly at right angles to the obstacle. In a lipslide the tail of the skateboard crosses the obstacle in order to start the trick.

See also the boardslide which is closely related to the lipslide.

Longboard
The name says it all - a long skateboard. How long the board can be is pretty much up to the manufacturer, and like "normal" boards, they come in all different shapes and sizes for different styles of riding. However, I'm not quite sure at what length a board becomes a longboard. Maybe there's some official industry standard somewhere I'm not aware of?

Longboarder
Someone who rides a longboard.

M

M-80
A classic flip (in which you start with both feet parallel facing forwards, rotated 90° to your normal direction of travel on the board) instantly followed by a revert.

A good M-80 combines the classic flip and revert into one smooth motion, and will usually be accomplished by landing the magic flip in switch on the front wheels and switching into regular stance from there. Because the skateboarder has to spin a 90° body varial as part of the trick, he can use this momentum to carry the revert on landing.

Madonna
Although many people think a Madonna is simply a one footed nosegrab where the front foot is taken off to the heelside, it is specifically a frontside one footed lien to tail on vert - meaning you HAVE to go frontside and HAVE to smack your tail off the coping on the way down. Interestingly, a backside one is called a Sean Penn - named after the former husband of Madonna.

Magic Flip
Back in the day, what we now know as a classic flip was known as a kickflip, and what we now know as a kickflip was called a magic flip. In other words, a magic flip is another name for a modern kickflip.

Manual
A balancing trick involving rolling across an obstacle on the back wheels only. The name 'manual' is now often used by skaters when they are doing wheelies - the same trick, but on flat ground. Technically, it's only a manual when done across an obstacle (for example, a manual pad) but this has been largely forgotten - not something that particularly bothers me, because the distinction is meaningless and I prefer the name manual myself, especially when you think about the differences between a manual and wheelie in BMX riding.

See also nosemanual.

McTwist
A vert trick consisting of a 540° rotation with a backflip. Named after it's inventor, Mike Mcgill.

Melon
A noseboned backside grab (gripping the heelside of the board with your back hand). The closer to the tail the grab is the more stylish the melon grab is.

Meloncollie
Another name for a melon grab. Some people (including myself) think the longer name, including as it does the word 'ollie', refers to the trick being performed on flatground after an ollie as opposed to in or off a ramp, but I can't verify this right now.

Method Air
A Method is basically a Melon grab but more "tweaked". You pull the deck upwards during the grab, into your back, to look like you are kneeling mid-air. Apparantly the name comes from the inventor, Neil Blender, who originally invented it as a "method" for getting higher on a backside air.

Miller Flip
A 360° frontside handplant to fakie on vert.

Mongo Foot
The problem afflicting some skateboarders who push off with their back foot on the skateboard instead of their front foot. Such skaters are known as mongo footed and feel uncomfortable or unsafe pushing with their front foot on the board. As a result, mongo footed skateboarders don't have as much time to prepare themselves for a trick after pushing off because they have to shuffle their feet around a lot after getting on the board.

Monkey Flip
Flipping the skateboard by gripping the heelside long edge (the rails) with either hand and simultaneously jumping and flicking your hand up. This is a difficult trick for a couple of reasons - firstly, it's fairly awkward to grip the heel edge of skateboard as this involves putting your hand between your legs. Secondly, it's a nightmare trying to jump upwards from something you're trying to hold onto without ripping your arm out of it's socket.

Any skater pulling off a monkey flip kind of looks like a stereotypical ape jumping around, hence the name.

Monsterwalk
A monsterwalk is a chain of 180° pivots that alternate in direction, meaning they look slightly like an old b-movie monster walking, hence the name.

MTB
An acronym for mountainboarding - a sport developed from skateboarding also known as all-terrain boarding or ATB. Mountainboards consist of a flexible base plate connected at each end to an axle and two stonking huge all terrain wheels, and you can buy them at this extreme sports clothing and equipment site.

Murder Flip
Another name for a forward flip.

Mute
A grab trick similar to an indy grab, but with the front hand grabbing instead of the rear hand.

N

Natas Spin
Named after it's inventor, Natas Kaupas, the Natas spin entails spinning around on the top of a pole (or anything else that sticks up vertically) in what can only be described as a boardslide position. Usually ollied into. If you need to see an example, track down the 1980's Santa Cruz video, "Streets on Fire", where Natas himself does one on a fire hydrant.

Natural Stance
Unless you have ambidextrous feet you will have a natural stance. Quite simply this is the way you feel most comfortable standing on a skateboard - left foot forward (regular footed) or right foot forward (goofyfoot). Natural stance isn't necessarily determined by your footedness either - I'm right footed so by all rights I should be a regular footed skater, but I'm a goofyfoot.

Nightmayer
A 540° body varial. Named after Danny Mayer, the skater who invented it.

No Comply
1. Similar to a boneless except you don't use your hand to lift the skateboard after stepping off the board. Bizarelly, after popping the skateboard with your back foot you then use your back knee to knock the board forward and level before jumping on it off of your front foot.

2. Any trick that doesn't require your front foot can be done as a no comply as well - for example a no comply shuvit, a no comply pressure flip or a no comply fingerflip. All involve stepping off the skateboard with your front foot and then using that foot to get airborne while your back foot or hands do something funky with the skateboard.

Nollie
Nollie has two meanings in skateboarding...

1. Nollie stance. When you are in your natural stance but standing at the front of the skateboard instead of the back, with your front foot on the nose and your back foot near the middle of the board, you are said to be 'in nollie'.

2. An ollie performed off the nose of the skateboard while in nollie stance.

Nollies and any other trick done in nollie stance are very difficult. Even riding around in nollie stance is quite arduous. Only switch stance is more difficult.

Nollie Flip
A kickflip performed in nollie stance. The legs perform the opposite function they normally would to do a kickflip, and the trick is executed off the nose of the board.

Nose
Part of a skateboard - the front kicktail. Note that if you turn the board round the nose isn't at the back all of a sudden - the nose is always at the front (although most skateboarders have an end they prefer as the nose and an end they prefer as the tail).

Nosebone
Boning the front leg, pushing the nose of the skateboard forwards in the process.

Nosegrab
A grab trick performed by holding the nose of the skateboard with the front hand.

Nosegrind
A grind trick performed with the skateboard paralel to the obstacle and balancing on the front truck only.

Nosehook Impossible
An impossible performed by hooking the front foot under the nose of the skateboard and using it to pull the board over and around the back foot. Kind of like a truckhook impossible really.

Noseslide
A slide on the underside of the nose. The skateboard is at right angles to the obstacle with the nose pressed onto it, sliding along with the rest of the board hanging out into the air.

Nosestall
A simple stall on the underside of the nose. The skateboard is at right angles to the obstacle with the nose pressed onto it, with the rest of the board hanging out into the air.

In this article about ollying I use the nosestall as a stepping stone towards ollying on the move.

Nosewheelie
A manual/wheelie balanced on the front wheels instead of the back wheels. 'Nosewheelie' may also be used.

O

Ollie
Simply how to get airborn - see this article on ollies for a full trick guide on this, the basic trick of modern day skateboarding. Most modern street tricks are based off the ollie, so much so that it isn't really even thought of as a trick anymore, more a 'utility'. However, while it's important to learn, there are plenty of other funky things you can do on a skateboard without being able to ollie.

The ollie was originally invented for vert skating by a guy called Alan Ollie Gefland, but it wasn't long before Rodney Mullen had created a flatland version which went on to become the trick you see skateboarders all over the world practicing day in and day out. The highest recorded ollie is by Danny Wainwright, a whopping 44.6", or just over 113 cm,

Ollie North
Another name for a one foot ollie, possibly introduced into the lingo by the Tony Hawks Pro Skater series of computer games.

Ollie Shuvit
Another name for a pop shuvit, not quite correct since although a pop shuvit is an airborne shuvit, you don't ollie in order to get airborne when doing one.

If you ollie then shuvit, this is known as a late flip shuvit, or simply a late shuvit.

One Foot
A number of tricks can be performed or landed with only one foot on the skateboard, in which case the trick is prefixed or suffixed with 'one foot' or 'one footed'. The other foot is simply held up during the trick. There are dozens of skateboarding tricks that can be performed one footed, here are some examples:

One foot manuals
Virtually any grind or slide
One foot shuvits
One foot pressure flips
One foot ollies are special cases which aren't actually performed with only one foot.

One Foot Ollie
An ollie that is executed like a kickflip except the foot flick is directly up the skateboard and not to the heelside. Because your front foot ends up in front of the skateboard in mid air rather than on it, it's known as a one foot ollie.

Overcrook
A crooked grind where the skateboard crosses the obstacle before connecting the front truck and nose to it. In effect, the skateboarder ollies over the obstacle before turning the nose in to land the crooked grind. More difficult than a crooked because your momentum is taking you away from the rail not into it where it must connect for the grind.

P

Palm Flip
An ollie followed by a nosegrab in such a way that the board can then be flipped with the palm of the hand whilst in the air.

Phillips 66
A reverse elguerial, meaning this is another fakie 360° invert. The difference (and the reason I said reverse) is that on an elguerial, your body is facing the coping as you start the trick. On a Phillips 66, you're coming at the coping backside, meaning it's completely blind. As such, it's a bloody hard trick, and, to my knowledge, very few people can do it.

Phobia Flip
The easier (though still not easy) version of an inward heelflip, where the skateboard does half a backflip and half a heelflip between the riders legs. To achieve this, the skateboarder starts to pop a varial heelflip with the varial done backside, but turns 90° backside himself as he does the heelflip. Because the heel flicks off the leading edge of the skateboard as it turns, it interrupts the lateral motion of the varial, causing the board to flip vertically between the riders parted legs. The rider turns frontside again to catch the skateboard and ride away.

Basically the opposite of an illusion flip.

Pivot
Turning on the back or front skateboard wheels. Can be done 180°, 360° or any other increment of 180°. A common use is to pivot mid way through a manual into a nosemanual, or vise versa.

Pogo
Bouncing up and down as if the board were a pogo stick whilst in a 50-50 truckstand position (standing on the truck with the board vertically balanced on the tip of a kicktail). Can be done with one or two hands holding the nose of the skateboard, or no handed (from a regular truckstand or "no handed" 50-50 position). Can also be done with one, or two feet on the truck and in a crossfooted position.

Pop
An often used term in skateboarding, most often when describing how to do tricks, for example an ollie, as in "jumping off the back foot causes the board to pop". Most modern tricks require you to pop the board, basically referring to 'bouncing' the board off the ground by jumping off either the nose or tail in order to gain air. It's the pop that makes the characteristic sound of a skateboarding session, though I wouldn't exactly call it a pop myself (more of a loud distorted click, when done cleanly on a decent skateboard).

Pop is also used to describe the properties of a skateboard as in "my new board has way more pop than the last one", or to describe a trick - "did you see how much pop I got then?". Pop may finally be used as a verb, as in "I popped an ollie over that trash can the other day".

Pop Shuvit
A shuvit that is performed much higher than normal, by virtue of the fact that the board is popped as the skater does the shuvit. See this article on shuvits for more information on shuvit variants.

Power Slide
A 90° slide on flat ground usually done frontside in order to slow down. When perfected, power slides are the most effective form of braking a skateboarder has. The board is pivoted 9090° on its front wheels as the rider pushes the back wheels into the ground. As the skateboard is now perpendicular to the direction of travel, the friction of the wheels with the ground quickly slows the skateboard to a screeching halt. Warning - excessive power sliding will destroy wheels very quickly!

Pressure Flip
Any flip trick where the board is flipped solely as a result of the pop - unlike in a conventional flip trick such as a heelflip the foot that doesn't pop (your front foot unless in nollie or fakie) doesn't do anything except get out of the way. The skateboarder jumps very powerfully off of his popping foot and changes the location and direction of the pop in order to manipulate the resulting pressure flip. By doing this a range of pressure flips are possible including flips in either direction and varial flips.

Pretzel Flip
A kickflip where the skateboarder lands with his legs crossed, in x-foot. The front foot lands where the back foot normally would and vice versa. Pretzels of course have an X in the middle so that's where this trick got it's name from, since the skaters legs make an X.

Any trick can be landed cross footed, however 'pretzel flip' has come to mean specifically a kickflip to x-foot.

Primo
A rail slide, named after Primo Desiderio.

Push Off
The act of pushing the ground with one foot while the other guides the board. Used to accelerate on a skateboard. See skateboarding for beginners, part 1 for more information on pushing off and the basics of riding a skateboard.

R

Rail
1. An obstacle used to grind or slide on in street skating such as a hand rail.

2. The very edges of a skateboard deck which can be used in a number of tricks which are then described using the term 'rail' as in 'rail flip' or 'rail slide' below.

3. A shortened version of 'rail stand' which is used in describing tricks, for example 'kickflip to rail' would describe a kickflip which is landed in a rail stand.

Read more about rail tricks in the rail flip routine article.

Rail Flip
Any flip trick performed out of a rail stand. These are usually monstrous double varials and the like because the rail position, once mastered, is condusive to getting incredible amounts of spin on the board. Any number of rail flip variations exist and are best described using other terms, for example varial, 540°, toeside etc...

Rail flips are usually performed as a transition between a rail stand and a regular skateboarding stance, but can also be landed back in a rail stand.

Rail Slide
Sliding across an obstacle (usually a flat and vigorously waxed platform) in a rail stand.

Rail Stand
A skateboarding stance where the board rests on its edge (or rail, to use the proper term) with the rider balanced on top. The skateboard wheels provide stability as they take the brunt of the riders weight, so a rail stand isn't particular difficult to balance. However it's getting into and out of a rail stand that is the difficult part. See the cooper stand for a slight variation on a rail stand.

Rail To Rail
A type of rail flip - a half flip from one rail stand to another rail stand (or indeed one rail slide to another rail slide). Can be performed heelside or toeside.

Railwhip
A 360° shuvit in rail while keeping a foot on the wheel of the board. Jesse Whalen does them a lot in his video on this site.

Ramp
A sloped obstacle used to gain air off or otherwise trick off. Ramps are flat (usually known as banks or flatbanks) or 'transitioned' - curved as in a kicker, roll in or quarter pipe. Interested in buying a ramp? Urban Ramps are suppliers and builders of skateboard and BMX ramps.

Reemo Slide
A fair deal of controversy surrounds this one; the term "reemo" or "reemo slide" refers to a primo which itself simply refers to a railslide.

It's likely that the name "reemo" was introduced in the Tony Hawks games and many skaters don't like the fact that it's coming into common usage (and will hate the fact I even dared to put it in the tricktionary!). But who knows, like "pretzel flips" and the "yeah right manual" it may be one of those things that catches on -- the important thing is what it actually means; a railslide.

Regular Foot
A skateboarder whose natural stance is left foot forward. The opposite of a goofy footed skater.

Revert
A 180° turn with all wheels on the ground. Creates a distinctive screeching sound and is a common way for skaters to get into fakie. This 'trick' (more of a 'utility' than a trick) is often used in the Tony Hawks games to string vast runs of vert tricks together, but is rarely used on ramps in real life.

Risers
If you look at some skateboards, you'll see coloured plastic pads between the trucks and the deck. These pads are risers, and are used for a variety of reasons:

1. To make the board higher. Some people (myself included) prefer a taller board for whatever reason. 2. To prevent the deck from cracking. Having the metal trucks next to the wooden deck can increase the chance of cracks running down the board from the truck mounting holes, and risers can help reduce the chance of that happening. 3. To absorb shock. Soft riser pads can reduce vibrations from rough surfaces, giving you a smoother ride.

Note that you can also get wedge pads which also change the angle the trucks are mounted at.

Roast Beef
A grab trick where the back hand reaches between the skateboarders legs and grips the heelside of the deck.

Rock And Roll
A rock to fakie, where the skater does a kickturn to re-enter the ramp rolling forwards instead of rocking back in fakie.

Rock to Fakie
A basic lip trick where the skateboard is stalled in a boardslide position on the obstacle (almost always the coping of a half pipe or mini pipe). The board is rocked forwards into this position before the skater rocks it back, lifting the front wheels up by applying a small amount of pressure on the tail so that he can roll back into the ramp backwards (hence the "to fakie" part of the name).

Rocket Air
A trick where the skater in mid air has both feet on the tail of the skateboard and both hands gripping the nose. The board is held as vertically as possible in this position.

Rocket Ollie
As discussed in this article about ollies a rocket ollie is a badly executed ollie caused by not bringing your back foot high enough, limiting the amount the tail of your skateboard can rise and causing an overly vertical ollie.

In a few cases, notably when trying to land in a bluntstall or bluntslide, doing a rocket ollie can be useful.

Rodney Mullen
A pro skater. There are many pro skaters in the world but nobody has been so consistently inventive as Rodney Mullen. Rodneys list of invented tricks is huge, most people have no idea how much he has done for the sport, so here is a condensed list. Remember, these are just some of the tricks he either invented or landed first (from around 1980 to the early 1990's).

Ollie
Kickflip
Heelflip
Helipop
Impossible
360° Flip
360° Pressure Flip
Varial Heelflip
Switch 360° Flip
Kickflip Underflip
Casper Slide
Darkslide
My source only goes up to 1992, so who knows what other amazing tricks he may have come up with since? You only need to watch some of his recent stuff, which is a sort of flatland/street skating hybrid, to know how incredible Rodney Mullen is, and in those videos you will see all kinds of ridiculous tricks which you have no idea how to do or even what they are called. No one can match him for pure technical ability. Some people don't really like his technical style, but regardless of this you have to respect the so called 'godfather of street skating' who created all the stuff that is the foundation of what most skaters do now.

See also this book review, this site about Rodney for videos, pictures and forum talk, and this skate movie review.

Rusty Slide
Although the trick appears in the Tony Hawk's games (and appears to be some kind of coconut wheelie/railslide combo), it, like so many tricks in Tony Hawk's, is purely fictional. Although the combo can be done, it doesn't really have, nor need, a specific name.

S

Sal Flip
A 360° palm flip.

Salad Grind
A combination of a 5-0 grind and a bluntslide - a grind/slide with both the back truck and tail of the skateboard on the obstacle. Think of it as a 'crooked 5-0'.

Saran Wrap
A freestyle trick done while in a 50-50 truckstand or pogo, where the front (or top) foot traces a circle around the nose. Usually, the aim is to pull off multiple saran wraps in a row without loosing balance.

Scarewalk
When done very well, a scarewalk should look like a split kick (see airwalk), but grabbed with the back hand with the board between the legs - right below your crotch, hence the name.

Seatbelt Air
A grab trick where the front hand extends across the front of the body and grips the tail of the board on the toeside. Looks like the action of putting a seatbelt on.

Semi Flip
A quarter kickflip (that's an ollie kickflip), to late backfoot frontside varial one and three quarter heelflip. In total the board does a disjointed double flip (Ľ one way, then 1 ľ the other way). It's called a semi flip because the flip is split up into two halves.

You need to break it down into bits and put it together in your mind bit by bit, but I promise it makes sense eventually...

Sex Change
A kickflip with a body varial. I discuss how to do sex changes in this article on kickflips and kickflip variations.

Shifty
The act of tweaking an air trick by turning your hips so that the skateboard rotates in midair before rotating back again to a normal position. To execute this trick the hands must not interfere; a shifty is achieved solely by rotating the hips and controlling the skateboard with the feet. Backside or frontside shiftys are possible.

As with all tweaks, the purpose of a shifty is to inject extra flair into a trick. In this case, shifty airs out of ramps and shifty ollies are appreciated because they demonstrate fine control of the skateboard which is especially difficult in midair without using the hands, and because they look really stylish.

Shuvit
A simple trick where the board does one or more varial rotations. Can be done backside, frontside and in any increment of degrees from 180° to 720° (a 900° shuvit has, to the best of my knowledge, never been accomplished).

'Shuvit' on its own is invariably a 180° shuvit. A shuvit is not popped and generally spins on the front or rear wheels or just above the ground.

See also Pop shuvit and this article on shuvits.

Shuvit Shuffle
Although many people do them as a bank trick, some people have started doing a wide range of shuvit shuffles on flat. It basically is a shuvit (generally done without popping) caught to a pivot that rotates in the opposite direction to the shuvit. On a bank, this would commonly mean a backside shuvit off the nose to a frontside pivot on the tail. They can also be done with a 360° shuvit to a pivot, but I am not sure if anyone has done either a bigger shuvit (540°, 720° etc) or landed to a bigger spin (continuing the pivot to spin round 360° or more) in a shuvit shuffle.

Sideride
You know when you start skating and you tilt the board to do a wheelie on two side wheels? That is called a sideride.

Sidewinder
A sidewinder is a specific type of truck-to-truck trick where you throw the nose of the board down towards the floor as you jump, catch the tail with your back hand, and land with your front foot on the front truck in a switch 50-50.Sidewinders can also be done into a switch or nose casper, or by reaching down to grab the back truck and merely dropping the nose down.

Skateboard
Developed originally in the 70's as 'sidewalk surfboards' and little more than a plank with roller boot wheels on, the skateboard has developed today into the highly tuned instrument we all know and love. A skateboard is made up of a deck with griptape on it, attached by the bolts to the trucks on which are mounted the wheels.

Skid Plate
A skid plate (or sometimes just called a "skid" is a lump of plastic often found on bolted to the underside of the tails of freestyle boards. People use them to protect the ends of their boards from the beatings freestyle gives to the tails.

Skitching
Hitching a ride by holding onto the back of a bike or vehicle while riding a skateboard in true Back To The Future style. Non interesting fact - the term 'skitching' actually predates skateboarding in it's reference to being pulled about on ice by a vehicle.

Slalom
Like freestyle, this was very popular in the 70's, and although thought to be dead and gone, is currently becoming steadily more popular. Basically, slalom involves weaving in and out of cones at high speed to beat your opponent's time. It may sound lame, but those guys go really damn fast, and it can be pretty fun to do.

Slappy Grind
The lazy mans trick - any grind that is performed without ollying. You just ride into the grind on an appropriately sloped object, such as a rail that slopes into the ground, or the sloping bits of kerb edges. Although a slappy slide could theoretically be done with some difficulty, the constraints of having to ride into it mean that slappy versions of nosegrinds, 5-0 grinds, 50-50 grinds and smith/feeble grinds are the most common slappy grinds.

Slide
The act of riding along on an obstacle - usually a kerb, rail or ledge - on the deck of the skateboard. Similar in nature to a grind, a slide is usually faster due to the smooth nature of the underside of a deck, and generally harder to balance than a grind. Some common slides are the boardslide, noseslide and tailslide.

Slob Air
This is a vert trick that, like quite a few, is dependant on the direction of the air. A slob air is just a frontside mute grab, as mutes on vert are strictly backside.

Smith Grind
A grind performed on the back trucks with the front wheels pointing down towards the ground on the left hand side of the obstacle if your left foot is forward, or the right hand side of the obstacle if your right foot is forward. This places the front wheels next to the obstacle rather than on top of it, and the deck itself will often slide along the obstacle as well as the back trucks because of the positioning.

Spacewalk
A spacewalk is a wheelie where the nose swings from side to side. Kinda like doing tictacs in a wheelie.

Stalefish
A difficult grab trick requiring plenty of flexibility; the back hand grips the heelside of the skateboard roughly in the middle, and both knees are bent and pointed towards the nose of the skateboard.

Stall
A trick with positioning the same as a grind or slide of some sort but without moving. The name of a stall is usually derived from the grind or slide it is based on, as in bluntstall, but may also have a completely different name as in disaster.

Stelmasky
Almost unheard of now, a Stelmasky is a melon grab where you grab the heelside rail between the legs instead of taking your arm around the front leg.

Street Plants
Back in the 80s, when street skating was still evolving, street plants became all the rage as a way of imitating the inverts done in vert skating. People would hold the board in one hand, take a couple of steps, plant the other hand on the floor and kick into a one handed handstand. Once inverted, people would flip the board in their hands, put it to their feet and tweak out grabs, or maybe go to a Ho-Ho plant.

Needless to say, these are barely done anymore. Mike Vallely still does them, but like many non-ollie tricks, most people see them as a bit of a joke. They can be quite fun, though.

Street Skating
The name given to the style of skateboarding that has developed from skateboarders tricking off of every day objects found in the urban environment - kerbs, benches, ledges, banks etc etc... Street parks are specially constructed to replicate this environment.

Suski Grind
This grind was named for the pro skater Aaron Suski, although he wasn't the first person to do the trick. It's a 'crooked' backside 5-0 grind, where the tail also slides along the obstacle as well as the rear truck. Aaron Suski stated in an interview "that's just the way I did my backside five-0s quite honestly; it was just a good lock".

Swedish Wheelie
This is a nose wheelie following the same concept as the Danish and English wheelies. You position the front foot off the nose and behind the front truck, then use the toes of the back foot to pull the tail up.

Sweeper
A frontside footplant on ramps where the back foot is planted, the nose is grabbed with the front hand, and the tail is "swept" across the coping. Note that a good sweeper should have the front foot touching the grip at all times.

Switch
The most difficult stance to ride and trick in. Switch is whichever stance is opposite to your natural stance. If you prefer to ride with your right foot forward then you are in switch if your left foot is forward, and vice versa.

Note that this is different to fakie because even though in fakie your off-foot is technically 'forwards', you are still in your most comfortable stance, just travelling backwards, and your legs do everything the same as in your natural stance. In switch, everything feels very odd indeed, and your legs perform the opposite role to those they normally do.

Switch Flip
A kickflip performed in switch.

Switching
The act of changing between the four common stances - fakie, natural, switch and nollie - by pivoting or reverting 180°.

T

Tail
Part of a skateboard - the rear kicktail. Although some skaters have an end they prefer to use as the tail, the tail is always defined as the rear regardless of which way the board may be facing.

Taildrop
From a tailstall, dropping off the obstacle by shifting your weight off it.

Tailgrab
Fairly self explanatory, and the opposite of a nosegrab; a grab trick involving gripping the tail of the skateboard with your back hand while in the air.

Tailslide
A slide on the underside of the tail only. The skateboard is at right angles to the obstacle.

Tailstall
Stalling with your weight centred on the tail. Like a tailslide without moving.

Tailstop
Coming to a halt by grinding the tail of the skateboard against the ground.

Tailtap
In vert skating, a brief tail stall on the coping of a half pipe on the way down from an air trick.

Tic Tac
The act of carving the skateboard repeatedly left and right in order to speed up while rolling. The front wheels are lifted between each carve causing the skateboard to make a distinctive 'tic tac' noise. If you're a beginner looking to learn how to tic tac, please see Skateboarding For Beginners, Part 2.

Toeside
Referring to a flip in the direction of the toe edge of the skateboard, or a railstand where the grip tape is facing your front. The opposite of heelside.

Tre Flip
Another name for a 360° flip.

Truck To Truck Transfer
A truck-to-truck transfer is a type of pogo or 50-50 truckstand where you effectively throw the board into a flip or rotation that results in you landing back to 50-50 or pogo on the other truck. Tommy Harward does more of these than I can even name.

Truckhook Impossible
An impossible performed by hooking your front foot behind the front trucks and pulling the skateboard over and around your back foot, instead of having the back foot do all the work.

Trucks
Part of a skateboard - the mounting system for the skateboard wheels. Each consists of a base plate, hanger, axle, two cushions and two washers held together by a kingpin, and two nuts to hold on the wheels.

Truckstand
A flatland skating stance more accurately called a no handed truckstand. In a truckstand the skateboard is held almost upright with the top of the deck facing the ground slightly and balancing on one of it's kicktails. The skateboarders 'back' or bottom foot stands on the bottom truck while his 'front' or top foot is hooked on the other side of the deck to keep the skateboard upright, usually but not always near the top (it is positioned lower down when the skater wants to do a pogo.

This trick is also known as a "no handed 50-50". See also the 50-50 truckstand.

TV Stand
A handstand in a pogo/truckstand position. One hand grips the back (or bottom) bolts, while another holds on to the nose of the skateboard. This is something I've never attempted or even seen done, and needless to say I imagine it's extremely difficult.

Tweak
A tweak is a general term used to describe a fine adjustment applied to a trick in order to make it more stylish or difficult (or both). Tweaks are usually applied to grab tricks by vert skaters. Some examples of specific types of tweaks are boning a trick or doing a shifty.

Twisted Flip
If you've read my articles about flatland skating you'll know all about spinning the board one way and jumping the other. The twisted flip is an advancement on this - a varial heelflip or varial kickflip with a body varial in the opposite direction to the spin of the board. In essence, a twisted flip is a boomerang with a flip thrown in for good measure.

Skateboard City has a pretty cool video of a twisted flip here.

U

Underflip
A flip trick performed by flicking the skateboard from the underside of the skateboard. This can be achieved whilst on the ground by hooking a foot underneath the board (the original kickflip, the classic flip, was essentially a type of underflip) or after a normal flip trick performed in the regular fashion in order to get into a position to underflip.

The most common of this type of underflip is performed as part of a kickflip-underflip. Riders kick slightly downwards on the kickflip instead of forwards and sideways, so that when the board comes round to finishing it's flip the front foot is underneath the board, in a position to quickly kick back up so it flips another full time in the other direction.

It can be hard to spot someone doing one of these, since the whole motion is really fast, but if you see someone doing a weird disjointed flip trick where the leg moves two ways, chances are it's an underflip of some kind.

V

Varial
Used generally to help describe tricks, this is lateral rotation of the skateboard or rider. Each varial rotation is 180°.

More specifically the name of an actual trick where the board is spun 180° laterally by the hands. Named after the inventors sponsor, Variflex (who knows the actual guys name?).

Varial Heelflip
A heelflip where the skateboard also does a 180° frontside shuvit. A backside varial heelflip is known as an inward heelflip.

Varial Kickflip
A kickflip where the skateboard also does a 180° backside shuvit. A varial kickflip where the varial part of the trick is done frontside is known as a hardflip.

Vert Skating
The name given to the style of skateboarding using half pipes and focussing on gaining maximum air in combination with various grab tricks and lots of rider rotation.

W

Walk The Dog
Turning the board 180° by crossing your back foot over to the nose so you are standing in crossfoot stance, then unwinding your legs. Walk the dogs are performed in multiples for best effect.

I discuss walk the dogs in more depth in my article about basic flatland skateboarding.

Wallie
An ollie performed during a wallride.

Wallride
Quite literally riding up and down the side of a vertical or near vertical surface, usually a wall of some description. This is usually accomplished by way of a transition or flat bank at the foot of the wall but with skill you can also ollie into a wall and ride it with some success.

Wedge Pads
These are basically just wedge-shaped riser pads, meaning one end is thicker than the other. This alters the angle your trucks are mounted at, changing their geometry and turning response. This means you can make your trucks take sharp corners easier or make them more stable, depending on your needs.

This might not mean a lot to a trick-based skater, but to a downhill or slalom skater or longboarder, it can make all the difference.

Wheelie Grind
A crooked grind without the back truck in the air. Instead it is pushed down beside the obstacle.

Editors Note - kind of like a fakie smith grind then?

Wheels
Part of a skateboard. Modern skateboard wheels are made of shock absorbant yet hard wearing polypropelyne. They come in a wide range of sizes, with small, narrow wheels better for technical skating (they make the skateboard lighter and easier to flip and grind), and big wheels better for 'going big' as with them you can go faster and ollie higher, and they make the board more stable to ride.

Wrap Around
See saran wrap.

X

X-Foot
X-foot is a common flatland/freestyle stance. You can start or land a trick with crossed legs (X). An example is an impossible to X foot.

Okay okay I admit it, it's a lame excuse for having a page of tricks beginning with X in the tricktionary. In reality everyone really refers to the stance as crossfoot.

Y

Yeah Right Manual
Riding two skateboards with a foot on each, one in a nosemanual and one in a manual. Note that another name for this is a daffy manual. 'Yeah right manual' comes from the Girl skate movie 'Yeah Right' (rightly famous for having invisible skateboards and super slow motion) where Eric Koston does this trick. It was also known as a yeah right manual in Tony Hawks Pro Skater, and has therefore made it's way into more popular use than 'daffy manual'.

Yo Yo Plant
A flat ground trick which is essentially a one-handed handstand. While rolling in fakie, place your front hand on the ground and grab your board with the other, then invert yourself, keeping hold of the board with both your hand and feet. After holding the trick, drop down the other way and land in regular stance. Contributor of this trick says "this is very hard and may take years to master". Personally I'm not going to even try - my whole weight on one wrist? No thanks!

YoHo Plant
A shorter, condensed name for a Yoyo to Hoho plant (where you do a Yoyo plant and let go of the board to end up in a Hoho position).

1-9

1080°
One thousand and eighty degrees remains, for the time being at least, an entirely theoretical amount of rotation. Three complete rotations are fairly common place in roller blading where skaters can throw themselves into very fast flat spins, and even in snowboarding where riders simply get more air and therefore have more time to spin, but in skateboarding a 1080° air has not yet been achieved (in fact, I'm not even aware of anyone actually attempting it).

180°
One hundred and eighty degrees. A standard measurement of rotation in skateboarding consisting of one varial rotation or half a flip.

3 Flip
Another name for a 360° flip.

360°
Three hundred and sixty degrees. A standard measurement of rotation in skateboarding consisting of two varial rotations or one flip.

360° Flip
A 360° kickflip. Any flip can be done 360°, but the kickflip is the most common. Depending on who you talk to, the 360° flip might be classed as 'the defining tech trick' of modern day skateboarding. That honour may also belong to the hardflip.

360° flips are also known as '3 flips' and tre flips.

5-0 Grind
Pronounced 'five oh', a 5-0 grind is the opposite of a nosegrind. A grind on the back truck with no other part of the skateboard touching the obstacle.

50-50 Casper
See truckstand.

50-50 Grind
Pronounced 'fifty fifty', a 50-50 grind is your basic grind trick where both trucks grind on the obstacle with your weight distributed evenly between the two.

50-50 Truckstand
If a flatlander talks about a '50-50', chances are they're talking about a 50-50 truckstand, not a 50-50 grind. This is a truckstand but while holding on to the nose of the skateboard with your hands. Generally followed up with bouncing up and down like an idiot in a pogo!

540°
Five hundred and forty degrees. A standard measurement of rotation in skateboarding consisting of three varial rotations. Rarely seen in street skating, but various 540° grab tricks are common in vert skating.

720°
Seven hundred and twenty degrees. A standard measurement of rotation in skateboarding consisting of four varial rotations! This is difficult in vert skating let alone street skating... Tony Hawk was the first skater to land a 720° on a vert ramp in the eighties. I have also had the pleasure of seeing Rodney Mullen land a 720° kickflip, crazily off of a kerb without any type of kicker in sight...

The 900°
Nine hundred degrees, or five varial rotations. Landing a 900° is the holy grail of vert skating, and the number of skateboarders who have landed one can be counted on one hand. True to form, Tony Hawk was the first skateboarder to land one, doing it for the first time both outside of competition (X Games V, 1999, after the buzzer) and during competition (X Games IV, 2003, best trick competition - which of course he won). A 900° trick is now simply known as 'the 900'. Tony Hawk does it with an mute grab but other skaters have since landed it using different grab tricks as well.

Pogledajte šta znači bit ludi sk8er u fightu.

Nisam već duže vrijeme napisao post jer mi je nešto internet bio zdrkan.Sad kad mi napokon radi htio bi napisati nešto o jednom skejteru(začudo).

Bam Margera je jedan od profi skejtera,koji i nije baš najpoznatiji ili najbolji,ali barem poštuje oni izreku SK8 OR DIE.Kad radi trikove,stvarno daje sve od sebe i pritom se ubije ali nikad ne gubi želju za tim da uspije.U privatnom životu mu baš i nije loše;ima puno para

koje zaradi druženjem sa profi sk8erima i snima jednu od najluđih emisija na telkama pod imenom Viva La Bam.

Isto tako je snimao emisiju pod imenom Jackass,a nakon uspješnih par sezona je snimio i film.

Snimio je i par amaterskih filmova koji zapravo nisu ni ispali tako loše.
Evo i njegove biografije o profi sk8anju.
Bam first broke onto the national scene as a 13 year old pro-skater known for his creative street style and wild antics. As a teenager he created the CKY video series, which featured skating, pranks and stunts, all filmed in his hometown of West Chester, Pennsylvania. The combination of Bam’s unique on-screen personality and the tremendous grassroots success of the CKY video series became the platform for the hit MTV show “Jackass”, “Jackass, The Movie” and the later MTV “Viva La Bam” series.
In addition to Bam’s television and film projects, he continues to be heavily involved in the music industry through his work directing music videos, his show “Radio Bam” on Sirius Satellite Radio and his “Viva La Bands” CD/DVD series and tour. Over a very short period of time, Bam has proven himself as a top-tier athlete and innovator in the film, television and music industries.
Did you know that…
Last year, Bam’s “Q” rating (a measure of one's public reconcilability) was in the top 20 of all athletes (rated by 18-45 year old males). This includes the likes of MJ for you basketball fans.
He was voted “Favorite athlete turned TV Star” in a 2005 Teen People Poll.
Bam hosts “Bam Radio,” a top-rated weekly show on Sirius Satellite Radio (Faction, Channel 28). His show features new music, the VLB crew and insights into the crazy world of Bam.
He created and produced "Viva La Bands“, a musical DVD and CD compilation series. This has now become a nationwide festival type tour set to debut in the summer of 2006. Check out the "Viva La Bands" webpage for more info about the CD and tour.
Bam co-owns his own music label “casual madness” with music mogul and network talk show host Carson Daly
Bam is creator and star of the CKY video series, which has sold over one million DVD and VHS copies worldwide. Actually, footage from this series was used in the initial "Jackass" episodes.
He is co-creator and co-star of MTV’s “Jackass” and “Jackass, The Movie”, which has grossed over $100 million in ticket sales internationally.
Bam created, produced, directed and stared in the hit MTV show "Viva La Bam”, which ran for five seasons. The VLB DVD’s are the fastest selling DVD‘s in MTV history. Keep tuned, as Bam is creating a new animated series for MTV to debut in the summer of 2006.
Bam is the main character in Activision’s ‘Tony Hawk’s Underground’ video game series, which is the best selling sports video game of all time. That's allot of games.
He holds the record for attendance at a personal appearance he made at the Mall of America. That would be in the ballpark of 30,000 screaming fans.
Bam is sponsored by leaders in the skate boarding industry; companies like Element, Destructo, Adio and Electric. Check out the store, these are Bam's selected favorites.
Bam merchandise is the best selling of any other signature series in action sports.
He has been on the cover or featured in top publications like Rolling Stone, People, Sports Illustrated, ESPN the Mag, Complex, Revolver and more.
To bi bilo sve za danas.
SK8 OR DIE!!!!!(LIKE BAM)

Jedan od ponajboljih skejtera današnjice.Nije da radi neke posebne inovacije u trikovima,ali zato sve trikove koje radi,radi perfektno.Jednostavno nema nikakve greške u flipovima,grindovima i svim drugim trikovima.Po osobnosti je lud,obožava L.A. Lakerse,kaže da je njihov najveći obožavatelj.
Snimio je s Tony Hawk-om Trick Tips 2 i u tom filmu se vidi da deset puta bolje radi sve trikove od Tony-a.Ako želite nešto više saznati o skejteru kojeg se baš neće lako zaboraviti pročitajte njegovu biografiju.

Eric Koston is a skateboarding classic. He’s one of the most well-known and respected pros of all time, and a tried and true lifer who never fails to deliver the most technical tricks the biggest way with total style.



Koston’s Flawless Career: “Few have produced as many bangin’ video parts, heavy-hitting photos or tech contest lines as Eric. Everybody respects him and he’s done it all without a gimmick.”—Aaron Meza, Skateboarder, May 2001

Eric was born in Bangkok, Thailand and lived there eight months before re-locating with his Thai mom and American dad to San Bernardino, California. After early sessions with GI Joes and Star Wars action figures, Eric started skating back in 1986 at age 12 on a hand-me-down Gonz deck from his older brother. After promptly learning stationary ollies with steady help from a driveway crack, Eric went on to enjoy actual moving ollies on curb cuts and, timidly, off the side of launch ramps.

In 1989, Koston had an unlikely encounter with veteran vert pro Eddie Elguera, who flowed Eric his first free equipment and got him on H-Street at an Upland CASL contest. Eric turned pro in 1991 at Back To The City III in San Francisco and inhabited the thrashed H-Street house in San Diego for six months.

After a slow spell, a move to LA and the 101 team in early 1992, courtesy of Natas Kaupas, came next. Eric was often seen hanging out with Tim Gavin, Jeron Wilson, Daniel Castillo, Chico Brenes, Kareem Campbell, Guy Mariano and Rudy Johnson. Rick Howard and Mike Carroll started Girl in late 1993 and asked Koston to climb aboard, and he’s been there ever since.

You Don’t Say: Eric is owner of Four Star Clothing, and a Vancouver couple even named their baby “Koston” after him.

2000 was Eric Koston’s banner year, when he basically became The Master Of The Skateboarding Universe for 12 months. He got a new dog, bought a new car and a new house, won three major pro contests (The Globe World Contest in Dortmund, Germany; The X Games in San Francisco and The Gravity Games in Providence, Rhode Island), worked on his epic part in the revered éS Menikmati video and even watched The Lakers win the Championship in-person, of course.



Don’t think it’s all over, though, because Eric just keeps charging ahead. For example, he has since claimed yet another win at the 2003 X Games IX Street event in Los Angeles, landed the Worst Trick at the 2004 Tampa Pro and his latest offering from éS Footwear, the K7, is doing very well. Speaking of contests, Eric is so smooth, casual and consistent in the contest arena, his friends nicknamed him “The Champ”.

Keep an eye on Eric Koston in the future. You can’t miss him, winning the world class contest, stealing the show in a video, bangin’ the gnarliest rail with an unheard-of trick in a two-page spread, flickin’ tech moves down a huge set like he’s on smoking break or secretly sessioning red curbs while goofing around with his friends. They don’t call him The Champ for nothin’.

Evo i slike od prošlog posta,nekak mi se obrisao.Ko ga nije pročitao,pitao sam dal znate gdje ima naljepnica ili bedževa slične ovima na slici.

Kada pitaš nekog ko nema nikakve veze sa skejtom,e jel znaš možda 'ko je Tony Hawk,on će ti reć da je to najbolji sk8er na svijetu zato što ga zna prek igrice i misli da je on Bog sk8a.Od njega na svijetu postoje puno bolji skejteri,ali ako se mene pita ipak je on kralj Verta,jer nitko na svijetu,osim njega,nije uspio napraviti 900.

Kad sam gledao Tony Hawk's Trick Tips,svi trikovi koje je objašnjavao(više flipovi i te brije,manje Vert)moga je napraviti ali s mukom.U trick Tips 1 su osnovne stvari pa je to lagano izvodio,al u Trick Tips 2 s Ericom Kostonom se sramio kolko je loše izvodio 360 flip i Varial flipove.Iako može napraviti većinu trikova koji su izmišljeni to ne izgleda tak dobro za razliku od drugih skejtera.Njega je najbolje stavit na Vert,jer je on virtuoz na tome.



On ipak je najpoznatiji skejter na svijetu zbog 900,pa je zbog toga pozivan na mnoge dodjele nagrada,a neke je nagrade i dobio.

Evo i njegove biografije skinute s njegove web stranice:www.tonyhawk.com.

BASIC INFO:
Birthdate: May 12, 1968
Birth place: San Diego, California
Parent's names: Frank and Nancy Hawk
Sibling's names: Lenore, Patricia & Steve
Children's names: Riley, Spencer & Keegan


Tony Hawk was nine years old when his brother changed his life by giving him a blue fiberglass banana board.

Before skateboarding Hawk was a self-described nightmare. "Instead of the terrible twos, I was the terrible youth," he said. "I was a hyper, rail-thin geek on a sugar buzz. I think my mom summed it up best when she said, 'challenging.'"

He was also pathologically determined. When Tony was six his mom took him to an Olympic size pool. "He decided that he had to swim the length of it without a breath. And then he was so frustrated when he didn't do it," his mom, Nancy, remembers. "He was so hard on himself and expected himself to do so many things." Another time Tony struck out in baseball and was so distraught that he hid in a ravine and had to be "physically coaxed out" by his father.




His frustration with himself was so harsh that his parents had him psychologically evaluated at school. The results were that Tony was "gifted," and school advisors recommended placing him in advanced classes. The root of his frustrations was uncovered as well: "The psychologist said he had a 12-year old mind in an 8-year old body," his Mom recalls. "And his mind tells him he can do things his body can't do."

Luckily, for those around, Tony's brother, Steve, supplied the answer to his sibling's brain/body problem-he gave him a skateboard. Tony started goofing around on the thin Bahne board, and his body finally caught up with his brain. "When he started getting good at skating it changed his personality. Finally he was doing something that he was satisfied with," Steve said. "He became a different guy; he was calm, he started thinking about other people and became more generous. He wasn't so worried about losing at other things-he wasn't as competitive at Pac Man as he had been."

His mother agrees with a laugh, "I was just glad he was taking all his energy out on skateboarding and not on me."

But Tony was still beating himself up. If he didn't skate his best in a contest-even if he won-he would be silent, and when he arrived home he'd take his trusty cat Zorro up to his room to be by himself. "If I don't do my best it kills me," he lamented.

It's not entirely clear where all of this determination came from. At least some of it, no doubt, came from his father, Frank, who flew torpedo bombers off of aircraft carriers in World War II. More than providing the genes, however, Frank Hawk also played a major nurturing role as Tony progressed as a skater -- not by teaching or training, but by throwing his full support behind his son's athletic passion. Frank drove Tony up and down the coast of California for skate contests, built innumerable skate ramps over the years, and when he grew dissatisfied with the competitive organizations, founded both the California Amateur Skateboard League and the National Skateboard Association. The NSA's high-profile contests have been credited with helping the sport surge in popularity during the 1980s. Frank died in 1995.




By twelve, Tony was sponsored by Dogtown skateboards, by fourteen he was pro, and by age sixteen Tony Hawk was the best skateboarder in the world. In the ensuing 17 years, Hawk has entered an estimated 103 pro contests. He won 73 of them, and placed second in 19. By far the best record in skateboarding's history. (He even won a contest after a redeye flight and only three hours of sleep.)

Unfortunately, being the world champion of skateboarding doesn't necessarily translate into financial security. Skateboarding is notorious for its peaks and valleys in popularity. As a senior at Torrey Pines High School in Del Mar, Calif., he was able to buy his own house at age 17. Two years later he bought another house: a four-and-a-half-acre spread in nearby Fallbrook, where he built a monster skate ramp at the top of a hill. A smaller ramp was wedged between his house and his pool. Hawk was constantly traveling worldwide for demos and contests. He was making enough money to buy his friends trips to Hawaii so everyone could vacation together. He married Cindy Dunbar in April 1990 and they lived in Fallbrook. Always an electronics nut, Hawk constantly updated his computers, stereo systems, video cameras and cars. But, one day in 1991 this all came to an end. Tony felt the bump on his helmet and when he looked up, it was too late; the sky was already falling.

Skating died. Not a slow death where you could see it coming and plan ahead, this was a blood-hose-out-the-nose aneurysm at the breakfast table. Tony's income shrank drastically, and suddenly his wife, a manicurist, was the family breadwinner. The times were so lean that Tony was allotted a daily Taco Bell allowance of five bucks.

The next few years ripped by in a blur of financial uncertainty and personal eruptions. He sold the Fallbrook house and the Lexus and in 1992 Cindy gave birth to their son, Riley. Tony refinanced his first house and started a skateboard company, Birdhouse Projects, with former Powell pro, Per Welinder. Two years later, he and Cindy divorced. Birdhouse wasn't making money and Tony's future was sketchy. If he couldn't make a living skating he figured he could either edit video for other companies or get a job "sitting behind a computer doing some sort of programming or web design. I thought skating was over for me." (Hawk is a proud computer geek.)



But skateboarding went through its cycle and was deemed cool again. The Hawk became the Phoenix. In 1996 he married Erin Lee, and bought a new house with a new pool with a new waterfall. Birdhouse is now one of the largest skateboard companies in the world and he's signing six-figure endorsement deals with companies like Adio shoes. In 1998 he and his family started a kid's skate clothing company called, of course, Hawk Clothing, which was acquired by Quiksilver in early 2000. In 1999 Activision and Tony created Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game for PlayStation. They expected decent sales, but the copies blew off the shelves and it quickly became a bestseller. The next year, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 was released and jumped to the number one position for over a month. Since then, the THPS series has become one of the best-selling video-game franchises of all time. A sixth version is due out this fall.

Tony's success overflows into the non-electronic world as well. His autobiography, HAWK -- Occupation: skateboarder was a New York Times bestseller and is currently available in paperback. He created Tony Hawk's Gigantic Skatepark Tour for ESPN, which is second only to the X Games in viewership.

Today, Tony's days adhere to an outlandish dichotomy. Recently, after slicing his shins open while shooting a TV commercial (probably needed stitches but didn't go to the doctor) he had to rush back to pick Riley up from school. On March 26, 1999 Tony became the father of a second baby boy, Spencer, who already has a weird attraction to skateboards--he rides a mini-board around the kitchen. Tony's third son, Keegan, was born July 18, 2001, and he has proven to be even more of a lunatic daredevil than his father. Shortly after Keegan learned how to walk -- and climb -- Tony walked into the kitchen to find his youngest son standing on a chair with an ice pick in one hand, a knife in the other and a small lightbulb in his mouth. Though he and Erin divorced in 2004, Tony remains a proud and actively involved parent.

"It makes me proud that I can switch from being a skater to a responsible parent," he said. "But," he's quick to add, "I don't feel as old as other parents."



He may not feel as old as other parents, but he's old enough to have retired at age 31. It should be made clear, though, that in skateboarding the word "retire" doesn't mean you stop skating. It simply means he's stopped competitive skating. He still skates almost every day, still learns new tricks, and still does several public demos a year. He was recently voted the best vert skater by readers of Transworld Skateboarding magazine. One of the reasons Tony decided to stop competing at the end of 1999 was that he landed the first-ever 900 (two and a half mid-air spins) at the X Games. The 900 was the last on a wish list of tricks he'd written a decade earlier. The list included ollie 540, kickflip 540, varial 720 and the 900.

In 2002, Tony launched the Boom Boom HuckJam, a 30-city arena tour featuring the world's best skateboarders, BMX bike riders and Motocross lunatics performing choreographed routines on a million-dollar ramp system, while punk and hip hop music plays. The hugely successful (and massively publicized) HuckJam tour has sold out arenas across the country every year since its inception and even been featured as a Happy Meal at McDonalds.




In January of 2005, Tony married Lhotse Merriam in a ceremony on the island of Tavarua. Tony and Lhotse continue to live in the San Diego area.

With the creation of the Tony Hawk Foundation, Hawk also has made an effort to give something back to the sport that has given him so much. Designed to promote and help finance public skateparks in low-income areas, the foundation has distributed more than $1,000,000 to non-profit groups building skateparks throughout the U.S.: from Homer, Alaska, to Needles, California, to Greencastle, Indiana, to Glenwood, Arkansas, to Livermore Falls, Maine.

"I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out," Tony says. "I mean, I never thought that I could make a career out of skateboarding."

Evo,to bi bilo to o jednoj od mnogih legenda u skejtu.
Ljudi ga neće brzo zaboraviti zato što je mnogo toga postigao u svijetu skejta,ali budućnost slijedi,tko zna šta će se sve novoga napraviti na najboljoj stvari na svijetu-SK8U!

BTW:Odite na toxicnifetus.blog.hr
Jedan moj frend,zvan Igor,svira gitaru u tom bendu!
SK8 OR DIE!!!

Nisam stavio naslov jer ovo nije vezano ni uz koju osbu,film il tak neš.Samo želim reć da je napokon temperatura visoka da se može skejtat bez jakne,a zbog toga mi bolje ide.Iz početka sam skejto samo s jednim frendom,a sad je i drugi nabavio skejt za ......kn.Nije da se nešto previše kuži u skejt al je tek početnik,i ja sam takav bio na početku,a sad se fakat puno kužim u skejt,barem tak mislim.Druga stvar.napokon mi je krenulo u školi,nemam nešto previše problema,jedino nisam ispravio dve kulje s polugodišta.Ovaj post sam napisao samo da vas obavjestim da sam živ,a sad ću uskoro počet sa biografijama i svem drugom o novim skejterima koji još nisu spomenuti na ovom blogu.
SK8 OR DIE!!!

Znam da malo kasnim sa viješću jer su dobili Grammy-a prije skoro tjedan dana,al koga briga,dobili su ga.
Došlo je napokon dobro vrijeme,odite van skejtat,uživajte,al nikako nemojte zaboravit na školu jer će prek ljeta bit zajebancije umjesto skejta.

Pisao sam o mnogim sk8erima pa ću i sad o jednom koji im je velika konkurencija.
Chris Haslam

je sk8er koji je osobit po tome što radi trikove koji mnogim ljudima izgledaju da su mogući samo u igricama,a najbolje je što ih on odlično radi.

Iako nemam mnogo njegovih slika s tim trikovima,vidio sam ih na Round 3 i preporučam svima da njegovu vožnju pogledaju ''više'' puta.

SK8 OR DIE!!!

U više postova sam spominjao Rodney Mullena,u jednom sam spominjao njegov sk8 film Rodney Mullen Vs. Daewon Song Round 1 i 2.Spomenuo sam da postoji i treći dio ali ga nisam bio gledao.Danas sam ga skinuo s Interneta,pogledao i mogu reć da je jednostvano najbolji sk8 film koji sam ikad gledao.Ne da izvode lude trikove,nego trikove koje sam mislio da su moguće samo u igricama.
Ako budete bili te sreće,nabavite ga i pogledajte cijelog jer ja sam ostao bez riječi.Jedini bed je kaj traje samo 35 minuta.

RODNEY MULLEN IS THE GOD!!!!!
SK8 OR DIE!!

Nemam riječi za ovaj Live nastup LP-a.Kliknite na Play,Autostart je ugašen.POGLEDAJTE!!!

U zadnje vrijeme sam dosta pisao o poznatijem sk8erima,većina njih je iz Amerike.Da ne bi bilo da u Hrvatskoj nema profi sk8era,staviti ću malo slika od Hrvatskih sk8era,da vidite kaj naša nacija zna.





Ovo tu je ful malo od ono šta još ima na stranici od Warehousa;odite na www.warehouse-sk8.com i uvjerite se.
SK8 OR DIE!!

Isto jedan od sk8era koji na ovom blogu treba dobit malo pažnje.Ističe se među sk8erima jer je pun energije ko' životinja.Tuče se sa svima koji se suprotstave sk8anju ili njemu.Jednom je sam zatukao četiri tipa jer su ga neš vrijeđali.A kad se polomi ko da mu niš nije bilo,samo nastavi sk8at.

Neznam koliko je točno imao godina kada je dobio sponzorstvo,ali je bio mlad kad je dobio sponzorstvo od Powell Peralte.

Ta energija koju sam spomeno mu dobro dođe u sk8anju,jer može radit prelude freestyle fore,ali i dobro mu dođe za street fore jer može ful visoko skočit.





Sad trenutno ima sponzorstvo od Elementa,i pojavljuje se usvim nastavcima Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.To bi bilo to od mene,a ovo je biografija za zantiželjne skinuta s njegove stranice.

Skateboard legend and east coast rebel-punk-poet Mike Vallely changed the face of skateboarding in 1986 with his innovative and artistic approach to street skating. 19 years later he is still making an impact with his unflinching individuality and his aggressive and expressive skating. A touring machine, Vallely (also known as Mike V) has covered more ground than any other professional skater in the history of the sport spreading the gospel of skateboarding around the globe. Lead singer of the hardcore punk outfit "Mike V. And The Rats,” featured in the Activsion Tony Hawk’s Underground video game series and star of his own television show, “DRIVE TV” Vallely is on a mission to live his life to the fullest each and every day which means plenty more relevant and impassioned skating and music is yet to come from this man.
"Growing up, I was a daydreamer. For so long I lived in a world of my own imagination, and to some extent I still do. But I've always believed in following my dreams with action and creating new dreams along the way. That's how dreams become reality. If you can imagine it and you're willing to go out and put in the time, anything is possible." - Mike V.

Mike Vallely, also known as Mike V is a true "Renaissance Man," unlike any other person that you might meet in this day and age. He is a punk-poet, artist-athlete, family man, business man, activist and rebel. He’s been a professional skateboarder for the past 18 years and has toured the world several times over doing demonstrations and “Spreading the gospel of skateboarding” at skateparks and in parking lots around the globe.He’s been writing and self publishing his own poetry and other writings since 1989. He sings in a hardcore punk band (Mike V And The Rats) and has written and recorded songs with critically acclaimed Pittsburgh singer-songwriter Joe Grushecky. He has wrestled professionally and is an avid ice hockey fan and player, doing charity and promotional work for the NHL. He speaks at schools and enthusiastically works with young people in his community and all around the world teaching and sharing the values of self-respect and individuality. But most important of all, he is a dedicated husband and father and a role model and hero to young and old alike. Mike V is without a doubt one of a kind.

Growing up in Edison, New Jersey throughout the '70s and early ‘80’s Mike V immersed himself in comic books, Elvis Presley records, professional wrestling, martial arts films and westerns. Says Mike, "Saturday morning was always a big deal for me because I'd always want to get up early to watch cartoons. I'd watch them straight through until the afternoon movies started and then I would catch a martial arts film, monster movie, Elvis movie, or a classic western... some type of engaging film. There was always something on television that I could get my whole self into, that I could turn into play later on or just store away in my imagination."

When he wasn't drifting off into his own world, he was out on the streets, fighting with the other neighborhood kids who were usually bigger and stronger than him. "My fist fighting career, if you may, started when I was in kindergarten. That's just how it was where I grew up. Back then I got beat up all the time, almost every day. All through elementary school, junior high, and high school, I was fighting. I never straight out won that many fights, but I was a measuring stick for other pugilists; sooner or later everyone had to go a few rounds with me. And I always showed up, and I was always willing. I didn't let anyone push me around. I still don’t.”

It was during these fighting days that Mike began to develop another side of himself that would add layers to his personality in a creative and positive way. At the age of eight he began writing poems, short stories, and songs. He continued to do so, almost entirely unnoticed on through high school. "Writing was something I had always done for myself. It was, and still is, a very therapeutic process for me. When I was in third grade I was sick and stayed home from school one day and read Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Telltale Heart'. Reading it really perked my interest towards reading and writing and encouraged me to participate in those activities." It was when Mike V was in fifth grade that one of his teachers stumbled upon some of his writings and made quite a big deal out of them and his gift. "I remember copies of one of my stories being distributed throughout the school and even amongst my family and neighbors. I thought that was pretty cool." It would later become one of the talents Mike V is most appreciated for by his public.

1984 brought another life altering change for Mike V. He discovered punk rock music. "Punk music couldn't have come around at a better time in my life. I was a freshman in high school. I was disillusioned with the social aspects of high school, and I didn't really have any friends or any interests. I'd been on the wrestling team for years, but that just wasn't doing it for me. I had no outlet for what was going on inside of me. Punk music gave me an outlet. I could play my records loud and slam dance in my bedroom. I could go to shows and hang out with other kids who felt like I did. Suddenly I had friends, common interests... We were making 'zines, starting bands, screening t-shirts, taking photographs, making flyers, putting on shows, and making something of our lives. People thought we were stupid or were wasting our time, but so many of us are still doing those same things today. And we are making a living for ourselves doing these things that we love and loving what we do."

It was through punk music that Mike discovered skateboarding. "For me, skateboarding was an extension of the music and of the scene. It was a very positive and physical release for all the things that were going on inside of me. I could always write about them, I could always listen to or play music, but skateboarding gave me this more physically expressive way to get it all out. I didn't like the frat house mentality of team sports, and I couldn't stomach the locker room scene. I was alienated by it. But here was a very individual athletic pursuit that bordered on sport and art form. It just rang true for me. The day I stepped on a skateboard I knew it was for me."

"It all clicked when I got into punk music and skateboarding. The spirit of both mediums was 'Do It Yourself,’ which I had been doing and believing in all along. But now here was this movement, this music, this activity, which further empowered me. Skateboarding and punk music did that for so many of us. It was, and I believe still is, a springboard to so much more."

Only a few short years later another curve came in the road, and this time it wasn't Mike V discovering something new, it was Mike V being discovered! In 1986 at the age of sixteen, in the parking lot of the legendary Mt. Trashmore Skatepark in Virginia Beach, VA, Mike V was caught on film, and by the eyes of the world's top pros, and signed to a deal with legendary skateboard manufacturer, Powell Peralta. It was now all coming together for Mike V. All the daydreaming and long hours spent on his skateboard day in and day out paid off. That summer, Mike V began a skateboarding career that has been one of the most long-standing and meaningful in the history of the sport. To this day, Mike V is still one of the most recognizable and important skateboarders the community has ever known.

"My skating has always been about self-expression. It's always been a creative and artistic pursuit. Because of that, I believe it has always been relevant. I've never really invested myself in the trick trends and fads. I've always done my own thing, and that is really the spirit of the whole deal. Of course, there have been times where the progression of the sport has overshadowed me and people have advised me to hang up my hat, but things always come around, and people always get back to the basics. We skate for fun. Tricks are cool, progression is cool, but it only goes so far. At the end of the day you either skate because you love to skate or you quit. I've seen so many flavor of the month kids come along over the past 18 years or so, telling me to get out of their way and then they disappear into obscurity, while my skating goes on and on."

1992 Mike married his longtime girlfriend, Ann, and later that year she gave birth to their first daughter. Now married for 13 years with two daughters, (Emily and Lucy) the Vallely's have settled into Long Beach, California and have put family first in a culture that celebrates drugs, pornography, and irresponsibility. "The scene is so lame. It seems like society in general has just given up. The walls have broken down, nothing is sacred anymore, and anything goes. Well, not in my household, not in my life. I refuse to just go along for the ride. My family comes first and always will. Seeing others give up and let the foundation slide doesn't make me want to join them, it makes me want to get organized against them. I still have faith in many things. Just because these institutions failed me or my generation growing up doesn't mean they hold no value. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, the value on many things has only increased. Family is where it's at for me. That's where it all starts. I'd gladly and willingly walk away from all of this to keep my family and my family life intact. And if push comes to shove I will, with no regrets."

Over time, Mike V has touched many lives through his skating, his words, his music, and his passion. There's no doubt that he will continue to walk his path unflinchingly, opening the road up ahead for so many of us. Through all the praise and criticism, Mike V will always be Mike V, a man with high aspirations and deep convictions. You can love him or hate him, but whatever the case, Mike V is going to leave his mark on you.

SK8 OR DIE!!

Evo opet o jednom skejteru.Daewon Song,jedan od skejtera koji je osobit po tome što prejebeno drži ravnotežu u manualu,a koje tek kombinacije radi s manualima.
Evo jedan vrlo zanimljiv intervju s njime u kojem govori o svom umijeću na skejtu,otkud mu sve ideje;uglavnom da ne kvarim dojam,pročitajte.

Daewon’s skill on a skateboard is so great that we often become immune to the complexity he exhibits. Linking tricks together like a real-life Tony Hawk Pro Skater character, there’s really little else to compare him to. Well, maybe besides his good buddy Rodney Mullen, who he’s recently come to share a board sponsor with at Almost.

As many of the current professional skateboarding population twiddle their thumbs trying to figure out what and where they want to skate, or even struggling just to attain that motivation, Daewon is out there pumping 60 dollars in gas into his Navigator every other day. He sets his mind on something and does it–like he has his entire career. You see, this is not the first Daewon Song Pro Spotlight, just his first since 1997. And by the way he’s talking, he may be the first person to attain three by 2011 or so. Daewon Song refuses to see an end.

When’s the last time you grabbed your board?

Yesterday at Torrance skatepark. I’m a local there. I grabbed the hell out of my board. Look at my fingers. My 360 judos are so sick right now. I have a big judo, seriously. I’m trying to push ’em for 2004. I tried to get Seu (Trinh) to shoot one, but he refused ’cause we were at a skatepark. I told him we could’ve made the ramp look like an old ditch, but he wasn’t into it. I was so bummed.

Who’s got a bigger spot book, you or the average skateboard photographer?

The average skateboard photographer, for sure. Actually I do have a lot of spots. I don’t have a book, though. I’ve been thinking about making one.

In the past your photos have been mostly based on documenting the difficulty of the trick. What’s your biggest motivation these days? Are you looking for the weirdest spot, or are you looking to only get that good trick?

With a photo, I’m interested in having it look something like art. Seu will show me an example of how it’s going to look (through his digital camera), and if it looks amazing, I’ll get pumped and want to do it. But with photos, I always want to find a unique spot, so it looks a little different from the average photos people have had.

And so it’s different from your typical crazy tech combo sequence?

Yeah. For me, I had the worst syndrome. No matter what photo I had, everybody thought there had to be a (picnic) table under me, in the background, or on top of my f–kin’ head. I wanted to get away from that whole thing.

Do you think you’ve shaken the picnic-table syndrome by now?

I hope so. I’m not hating on picnic tables, they’re great. And it’s not something where it’s a drug like, "Oh my god, I’ve gotten off picnic tables." It’s more like I’ve had my day with the picnic table and I’m over it right now. Who knows, I might be into it later, but right now I’m more focused on finding unique spots.

How many tricks inside a single combo are too many?

I got to a point in the Second To None video where I did a trick with four things in it. After a while it starts to get kind of annoying. When you think about it, "Holy shit, dude, you have to cut it out." I like it, but maybe two or three at the most. It can’t get out of hand and keep going. Somebody has to cut you off.

You get to looking like Tony Hawk Pro Skater comes alive.

Exactly. You can’t do a kickflip at a demo anymore. You need to do a 900 flip. Parents are like, "Wow, that guy kickflips. I’ve seen you do that in the game." Seriously, I was at a demo doing a kickflip and a tre-flip, and the parents are like (makes a stone face). But then you pick your board up and twirl it around your arm, something you can’t do in the game, and they’re like, "Holy shit!"

As much as you’re a fan of picnic tables, you’re a fan of roof gaps–some of which are ridiculous. Do you ever doubt yourself or at least think of the consequences before skating one?

Yeah. That stuff goes back to guys like Jeremy Wray. They opened it up. That water-tower gap he did was really outrageous. The things I do could never equal that. Anything can happen. You can always hit upon a soft spot and hang up. I think about falling straight down a roof gap, breaking my back, and I could be crippled.

The thing is, I really never think about it. I just go up there and try to get it. After you do it, you stop thinking about it. Of course, if I go to a three-story shack, I’m going to be like, "Whoa." I like being high up, or just the fact that something could possibly happen to you. It’s a good time. Everybody who does do it knows exactly what I’m talking about. Your adrenaline … and that uncomfortable jump where you just make it to the other side, that’s the best feeling.

Since you’re deemed a technical skateboarder and that doesn’t seem to be as "cool" right now, at any time have you ever thought your career was threatened because you don’t succumb to long hair, tight pants, and handrails? And especially after Deca and Artafact didn’t work out, did you ever feel pressured to change your image?

I never felt threatened. The times change and all, but I’ve been in this industry so long that I’ve seen it change up and down. The people who evolve into what’s hot and what’s not–I’m not gonna hate ’em for it, but I wasn’t ever too much into that.

As far as technical skateboarding, I’ve just kept doing what I do. You’ll always have a group of individuals who will focus on and respect a certain aspect of skateboarding (no matter what’s cool). I love what I do, and that’s what I’ll always do. Hey, but I am growing out my hair–hopefully, that works (laughs).

That leads perfectly into my next question. How long have you been cutting your own hair?



For about six years. I’ve had so much bad footage where my fade has been so high it looked like I had a Mohawk. It was an unintentional Mohawk. I wanted the tightest thin fade. Lately I’ve been filming and been in Barcelona, and my wife’s been away, so I haven’t touched my hair. I’m not gonna grow it into a Fabio ’do. I’ll probably leave it at the rate it’s at now, I’m not trying to have a Samurai ponytail (laughs).

Looking back at some of your old sponsors, you used to ride for Echo–now Ecko–clothing. What do you think when you look back on that?

Back then it wasn’t weird because I didn’t even know what Echo was. I knew it was clothing, but I didn’t know what type of clothing it was. They sent me the craziest shit, shit that I’d never wear skating–these huge jackets with rhinos on the back and stuff. I was pumped, though, "Dude, this is sick." I’m not gonna hate. Or think, "God, what was I thinking?" I’m gonna say I should’ve known better. They’re still around and are still killing it. Hey, I had a little part to do with that, and hey, it was fun. Done and gone, no regrets. I thought you were going to say Grind King.

Feel free to explain.

No, Grind King is sick, dude. Growing up as a skateboarder, I was always into the things and companies that weren’t considered "the elite." I liked skating for Grind King. I was on Gullwing. It was sick–I was pumped. I didn’t get on Grind King because I wanted to be surrounded by some elite group of pros–I rode for Grind King because the trucks grinded so f–king good and they turned. I like my trucks wobbly, and the trucks turned so crazy. And the people there were cool. But now I ride for Tensor.

What did the downfall of Artafact teach you?

With Artafact there actually was no downfall–that’s the thing. People think, "God, what’s Daewon doing? Deca was around three years–that got canned. Artafact just came out six months and now it’s Almost? What’s going on?" Here’s the whole story.

With Deca, those three years were great. I was surrounded by friends. Everyone (all the riders) on Deca were great skateboarders. But I wanted a change for myself, to be a part of something a little different. I think people were sick of the name and the direction the company was going. Boom. We had to can the whole thing. It wasn’t like the company went bankrupt; it was just the fact that we wanted to start something new.

So Artafact came about. We tried to do that for six months–it was fun. The ads went the direction of how I’ve been taking my photos now. So Rodney wasn’t on enjoi anymore, and we had talked and thought, "Hey, what if Rodney gets on Artafact?" But then we thought, "Would that make a difference?" Artafact didn’t get too much attention. We didn’t have any big-name pros; it was kind of mellow. The direction we were trying to shoot for, people just weren’t feeling it.

Then we said, "F–k it," let’s unite and start Almost. It was an agreement to keep the riders from Artafact, let that gradually fade away, and then we’ll do Almost. Then we brought in guys like (Greg) Lutzka and (Ryan) Sheckler. Now it’s becoming something I wish Artafact could’ve been, but it has a little more humor to it. And it’s more (representative) of how everybody (who skates for it) is. I like scaring people–I don’t think Artafact was too scary.

What’s the actual meaning behind the name "Almost"?

Almost is the best thing because it’s the biggest excuse ever. "Hey, is your video part done yet? Almost. Did you pass? Almost. Did you get your trick? Almost." That’s the way the name came about, through all the excuses everyone always has. It’s the best working word ever. And then people think that it’s China wood we’re using, but it’s not. So we use it as a joke and say it’s Almost made in the U.S.A. It’s 100-percent maple, pressed in China. It’s like you buying me a Big Mac and having you deliver it to my house. Dude, this ain’t really McDonald’s, fool! It’s the same thing.

If you could take five of the most random skateboarders on a road trip, who would they be?

Jeremy Wray. I would take Rodney for sure. (Dan) Drehobl, he’s so good. Dude, (John) Cardiel. And Seu Trinh. Not the photographer Seu Trinh, but the skateboarder Seu Trinh.

When you take a look out into the pro field, which pro emulates what a perfect pro should be?

I like a lot of the well-roundeds, but I’m going to say Eric Koston. He does a good job. He’s really well-rounded. He doesn’t let all the hype of contests and other stuff interfere when it comes to a legit video part. He’ll always come through, and I respect that. That’s good. Marc Johnson always comes with a straight video part. Rodney Mullen as well just because of how long he’s maintained. And when I go skating with the guy, his motivation is still like a twelve-year-old kid. He’s nonstop. He’s out of control.

So you think the video part is the most important thing in pro skateboarding?

I think a video part is finally where you express yourself. In the skateboard industry the hating is at its highest right now, "Why is this? Who is he? What does he deserve that for?" That all goes down. When your video part comes out, that’s when you get to let people know exactly why and for what reason you have anything. I’m not saying it all depends on it, but our careers are based around video parts. Everybody knows it. That’s when you’re judged, that’s judgment day. Whoa, that was deep (laughs).

What in the hell is with your crazy white boots?

I call ’em the Don Johnsons. I got that from Tim Gavin, though. The thing is, you’ll see me buy a pair of shoes, and I’ll wear ’em for like three years. I’m not too much of a shoe guy. I wear my DVS shoes to skate in, but then I’ll buy one pair of shoes and rock ’em forever. The new white ones are the Don Johnsons. They look like Wallabee boots. It’s funny ’cause everyone talks so much shit. They look at ’em and go, "Holy shit, what’s this guy thinking?" It’s funny to me, and I love it. I feed off it. I know people look and go, "F–k, when’s Daewon going to get new shoes? He’s been rocking those since Australia … since Barcelona." I’ve been rocking my shoes for seriously a good eight months straight. They’re f–kin’ hot.

You obviously don’t buy shoes, but you spend your money like water. Where does it all go?

For a while I’d go on dinner splurges, take everybody out to eat. I enjoy stuff like that. I think of it as a good time, and what else to use your money on but your friends? I’m not trying to sound like Goodwill over here, but I’m just trying to say, spend your money. What are you saving up for? Of course there’re certain things you need to save for, but spend it. Have a good time with it.

Who do you consider your friends in the skateboard world?

I’ve revolved around the same people my whole life. Rodney Mullen, first of all. He’s the one who brought me into this industry. My friend John who works for American Airlines, skates, and films. My friend Carlos, my friend Daniel Castillo. Every time people see Daniel, "Where’s Daewon?" Every time they see me, "Where’s Daniel?" And then new people who I work really well with like Colin Kennedy (DVS filmer), Seu Trinh, Cooper Wilt, Chris Haslam. As I’ve gotten to know these guys, they’re really genuine people. The thing is, I don’t really get involved with the whole scene. You never see me out. Oh, and Luis Cruz. If you see me out skating, you’ll see me with John, Carlos, Luis, or Daniel.

You don’t like skating with a whole lot of people, do you?

I don’t care anymore, but I don’t go searching for the hottest pros to go hang out with.

Is it true that you purposely don’t clear out your cell-phone messages so that no one can leave you one, and that way you can’t be liable for not returning phone calls?

First of all, I have that Boost phone. And I’m not trying to plug it in, but I’m stoked on it. Damien there has done the greatest job of hooking me up. But the phone rings every f–king hour and the message button goes nuts. The maximum number it can hold is 30 messages. I wait a month ’til it automatically erases ’em. It’s not that I avoided ’em, it’s just that I didn’t want to deal with ’em (laughs).

You have two video parts about to come out in the next ten months. You’ve obviously had ample time to film–are you going to be happy with the outcome of each?

The DVS video–we’ve been talking about that video for a couple Septembers. But this September will be the actual premiere. And then Round 3 will be out in March. I’m going to be happy. The two parts are going to look a little different from each other. Round 3 will be more of what I usually do with the Round 1s and Round 2s, while the DVS part will look more like what this interview’s looking like. I want each part to have its own personality, I don’t need to have two of the exact same video parts.

Most of your colleagues you grew up skating with are either on the downside of their careers or have fully retired to industry jobs while you’re still here skating every day, inventing, and seeming like you haven’t even reached the apex of your career. What do you credit your longevity to?

It’s just me–I just skate. I wake up, and I’m motivated by trying new things. There’s always progression. There’s no limit on skateboarding. You don’t think about it, you just go and do it. All of a sudden something comes up and you go for it. The progression is fast, but there’re still so many things that aren’t done. Basically there’s no limit to skateboarding. It will be forever. There’re always new tricks. There’s never, "Oh, there’s nothing left." That will never be.

Where do you feel you are in your career? Uphill, downhill?

Within skateboarding I feel like I’ve always been in the same position: skateboarding, making sure that I keep up. I love filming video parts where I can show kids new things, showing them what is possible on a skateboard. There’re new things you can try. You don’t have to stick with watching the same thing over and over again and be stuck trying the same thing the rest of your life.

When it gets to that point, will you know when to hang it up?

For me, I’ll never hang it up. I’ll keep doing it. I don’t care. The way I look at skateboarding, I don’t see it moving. I see things changing. There are individuals making the sport progress and doing new things, but the majority of skateboarding is stale right now. It’s just the same stuff where people only seem to be doing it bigger. I’m gonna keep doing it as long as I can. I just look at Rodney. Rodney will be in it forever. He’s at his peak right now. When you see his footage, you’re going to flip out. It’s shit that nobody thought they would ever see.

I feel you can just keep going and going. Some people might not like it, but I don’t really care what people do or don’t like about me. That’s not what I’m in it for. "Oh, I hope he likes me. I hope this kid is feeling me." I just do what I do. Whoever likes it, likes it. Whoever doesn’t, that’s not my problem. Everyone does their thing. No matter what they do, I give respect to all skateboarders. I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing. I don’t think there’s ever going to be an end.
