I've been riding a skateboard for 34 years and I've learned over the years that there are no stupid tricks in skateboarding. You get on the board, learn new tricks and land anything, or just even cruise around and have fun. The possibilities are endless. Everyone has a different style. "Stupid tricks" are awesome tricks for some than others. Different stokes for different folks I guess!
...well...a lot of us agree...the moonwalk one was really stupid.....i see your point regarding all the others though, the moonwalk was really stupid...
one person's "stupid trick" is another person's "genius out of the box maneuver". all depends on the steeze you execute with, and how you manage to mix it in your set.
theres vids with all these tricks as cool tricks and plus i use the monster walk to a revert back to back like a rodney mullen style but in a mini ramp
He showed more than half of his freestyle tricks in his video and called them stupid. Although he himself was stupid, because he does not know that the tricks he showed in freestyle are used exclusively in a bunch of tricks and it looks really impressive.
It’s so weird to hear you sound so calm but so angry at the same time, like you have a grudge against these tricks but you don’t care enough to get too angry 😂
One time me and a group of friends were going down the road when we saw a group of joggers up ahead so we all got in a line across the street and monster walked towards the joggers they were so confused
I know this is an old video but I love how this dude is a true skate boarder. He wears his shoes to their fullest potential. And his videos are more informative than most out there
theonewiththename not as dangerous as u would think. i just recently started skating and i can almost do it. i can balance in the position for a few seconds but i cant land on it after the flip
Technically it's a Nollie Truck Stand if I'm not mistaken. Anti Casper would be front foot on the graphic side nose and the back foot on the grip side lifting up from the center or towards the back bolts.
@@biohazard724 Right? I figured this went out since skating has been declawed and made into a safe wholesome family sport with designated parks complete with soccer moms taking turns dropping the kids off. 90% of modern skaters would have been considered posers when this term was applicable.
1. the "forward facing anti casper" is actually called a "hospital". 2. my ollie south sucks because i didn't kick my back foot out far away from the board. 3. the "daffy" got popularized as the "yeah right" in the thps games but it was definitely an old school trick called "daffy" way back in the 60's or 70's. 4. there is a fine line between a coconut wheelie and a primo slide. 5. my opinion about these being "stupid" was just that, an opinion. :)
dude a lot of these tricks were some fundamental freestyle and old school tricks when boards were different and ollies weren't even a thing until Rodney Mullen pioneered modern day flatground. dont diss the classics homie, only reason i gave this a like and not a dislike was so i can learn these jaunts. not the moonwalk though that one was wack
The monster walk is actually useful, I don’t consider it a trick but when you land of a Jump or flip I monster walk to keep my balance when I lean to much to one side.
Almost all of these tricks were done in the 70's and with the way boards were made then they would have been more difficult to do. It's all a part of the evolution of skateboarding especially freestyle. Nothing stupid about them since skateboarding had to start somewhere.
Deadeye914 1. How many people get beaten up for doing a trick in a skatepark and 2. What do you think skateparks are like? It’s not skate 3 where you go to a park and bump into lizard king lol there are no pro’s at skate parks unless you specifically go to a certain park looking for them LMAO.
I've been practicing the moonwalk all day. It looks easier than it really is. These are some great tricks. My goal is to be able to do all of them for a talent show. 🛹🏆
The coconut wheelie was the first trick I learned. Not for turning, but just for going in straight lines. Instead of leaning forward, I leaned backwards and just cruised on 2 wheels.
I respect you as a skater but c mon man these tricks are the founding blocks of freestyle skating which developed into street skating, so by calling these tricks stupid is dumb. Respect skateboarding as how they respect you

If I remember right, the daffy, bunny hop and coffin were featured tricks in a first year issue of Skateboarding Magazine. The bunny hop was different- both feet between the trucks and one hand on either end of the board. I remember three other tricks from that article. Two of them could have replaced a couple of the tricks on this video, the third is pretty cool. The Christy, the Catamaran and the Samoan Squat. The Christy- squatting low on the board extend out one leg to the outside of a turn and do a turn. Actually pretty fun, since your head and body are so low to the ground. Not a bad learning trick or something to do to warm up. It can also be made more challenging by extending out the one leg and then lowering into a squat position. The Catamaran - there is nothing redeemable about this trick. Two skaters sit on their boards facing each other, feet on the other person's deck grabbing each other's elbows. For forward momentum you will want to do this on a hill or have someone push you. The Samoan Squat- get in position to do a two footed nose wheelie, squat down and do a nose wheelie. For variation, squat incompletely and lower into a full squat. To achieve master level at this trick lower in to a squat while doing a two footed nose wheelie and rise back up while doing the same wheelie. The Christy and the Samoan Squat, like most of the ones in the video can be pushed to a more difficult level. The Monster was something I used to do in our driveway trying to wheelie a couple of feet on each pivot.
I think I need to clear this up once and for all. STUPIDEST, despite popular concern, is in fact a real word.
VLSkate yeah
Lol you’re still talking about this
The anti Casper is a truck flip
I know a stupid trick that I all ways do, it's called a nollie faceplant. It's when you attempt to nollie and land on your face.
VLSkate I like coffin
Imagine playing SKATE and you win with a Gorilla Grip
I lost a game of skate to the gorilla grip because I didn't want to take my shoes off

Are with you playing with a person who just go their skateboard that day
No the monster walk
Or the monster walk
Point taken; will no longer Monster walk past groups of babes thinking I'm fly as hell

You should try a monster walk in your socks then transition to a couple gorilla grips, that'd get those panties droppin'.

“Monster walk” is actually a great way to gain some control, balance and confidence on a board. Just sayin
When I first started skating. I remember my friend's calling it Toy Soldier...It made sense to me...
I called it the crab walk
It's also used a lot in freestyle.
Tic tac lol
Very true its a great exercise to practice to get more overall board control.

Coffin: for when you are too tired to skate but want to do something with on your skateboard😂
Living in the Midwest where people have large vehicles, we used to coffin underneath cars in parking lots. I thought it was fun at least
Its also used for gatherings when people do that down a hill in rememberance for a skater that they knew died

Even if these are "dumb" it would be good to have in one's repertoire IMHO.
Reso Factor my father grew up skating in the seventies and there were multiple things he showed me in this video from back in the day
And a lot clearly are good starting points for beginners to get comfy on their board
Anti Casper was pretty cool
Broke Bloke called a hospital flip
i can see that just. going strsight up my ass or into my leg when done wrong
it looks like an express way to get a credit card

tic tac usually consist of sliding your wheels on the ground slightly which can be used to gain speed - its inefficient though for speed

The Catamaran - there is nothing redeemable about this trick. Two skaters sit on their boards facing each other, feet on the other person's deck grabbing each other's elbows. For forward momentum you will want to do this on a hill or have someone push you.
The Samoan Squat- get in position to do a two footed nose wheelie, squat down and do a nose wheelie. For variation, squat incompletely and lower into a full squat. To achieve master level at this trick lower in to a squat while doing a two footed nose wheelie and rise back up while doing the same wheelie.
