    Default Tricks similar to the Tiger Claw

    I'm not really sure what they're called, finger flips maybe? But I'm looking for more tricks to learn that are similar to the tiger claw. I can do pressure flip variations and the flat top. Is there anything else? I guess anything that involves you kicking the board up, flipping it somehow, and jumping back on it is what I'm looking for. Thanks.

    p.s. I tried to search this topic, but to no avail. If no one has any suggestions I guess I'll have to think up some new tricks.

    My suggestion would be to just come up with your own. There are so many out there already, and it's alot of fun to just go out and try doing different motions with your different hands and in switch. Also, try adding some into other tricks to make them flow. One of my favorites is to cross-step, then backwards cross-step right onto the tail, into a tiger claw. Looks STEEZYYY!

    try to make up your own. that's what i did. one that i've been doing a lot is really confusing to explain but ill try. i ride regular. you pretty much kick the tail like a tiger claw, step off with you front foot so that it is crossed, then turn so you're facing backwards while still having the board in the kicking position and grab it with your back hand and turn about 90 degrees off your front foot and jump and land it facing forward in regular stance. really fun trick to do but confusing to explain. if you screw up a lot on it or do it to many times then you can either hit yourself in the leg or get really dizzy. it feels really fun to do when you do it

    the trick called "shell shocked" or something like that, reminds me of the tiger claw.
